"The burger's demise won’t be marked by a declaration in a quarterly report, but by a collective appreciation for the comfort it offered America."
"All classics are bittersweet, whether they’re vintage films or triple-bun hamburgers. Tender, they tug at our emotions, partly earnestly, partly in nostalgia for a joy that probably was never as joyous as the distortions of time and memory afford."
