Learning that North Korea got its first-ever fast food restaurant left me pondering our country's fast food culture. While American fast food isn't without its caveats, there is one thing that I can certainly appreciate: the convenience of the drive-thru window! From Starbucks lattes to Kentucky Fried Chicken, commuters on the go can order just about any kind of food imaginable.
Since today is National Drive-Thru Day, I thought I'd grill you on the history of the nation's most convenient food service. Can you speed past my tough questions? There's only one way to find out!

Outsourcing to where? Talk to India for a burger in Peoria?
1Outsourcing? That doens't sound more efficient but a big headache.
2Surely the McDonalds drive-thru wasn't opened in 1795.
3samantha999: Most of the companies are reluctant to specify where they're outsourcing to. Some of them are using call centers in the United States, and others may be outsourcing from somewhere overseas. Crazy, right? They always sound far away over the speaker — but not that far away!
41795?? I think there was an error there!
5Ahem, I meant 1975.
6Seriously? Outsourcing for a drive thru???? Sweet Goddess, can't the people even do their jobs at a fast food chain?? At least with In N Out we get to see the people and the person at the window matches the voice from the box.
7North Korea got its first-ever fast food restaurant....are you kidding me. It's 2009 all over the world.
8I just read elsewhere....
"The only thing that won't be served? Burgers.
At the Samtaeseong restaurant in Pyongyang, customers can get a "minced beef with bread sandwich," an order that bears an unmistakable resemblance to the American favorite. The item, which is priced at $1.70"
93/6 thats funny....
