When I heard that Real Food Wednesdays was going to focus on fast food, I considered posting about our favorite pseudo-fast food stop. Of course, there truly isn’t any fast food in our town. You’d literally have to drive 58 miles roundtrip to find a nationwide fast food chain like McDonald’s, Sonic or Taco Bell. Want Burger King or Arby’s? Well, then, you’re in for several hundred miles round-trip.
Of course, there’s a place in town that can satisify the craving for fast food. I’ve blogged about it before when touching on One Local Summer. At this gas station cum restaurant, they serve the world’s best burgers. Indeed, best of all, they source they’re meat locally from grass-finished cows. Skip the bun and have them serve you a hamburger salad, and you have a nourishing fast food lunch.
Beyond that, though, sometimes we get cravings for old-school comfort food. Comfort food like chicken nuggets. Instead of serving up prepackaged, frozen nuggets made from a slurry of chicken parts, hydrogenated oils and chemicals, I prepare my own using wholesome ingredients like pastured chicken, sprouted grain, herbs and spices. They’re delicious served with preserved lemon & parsley tapenade which contributes flavor with a side of beneficial bacteria for gut health.

I can’t believe you have a gas station that serves grass-fed beef – that is truly amazing! I wish we had something like that in our area!
I agree with McKenzie, and I’m going to go hunt around your blog and see if I can figure out where in the world you live! Then I’ll go look over your recipes, thanks!

Yeah! It’s fantastic to have such a great resource here. The same people who supply the burgers also supply our quarter cow and milk-share so I feel really secure in knowing that it’s the best quality beef available.
58 miles to get fast food? You are lucky people to live this far from the nonsense.
