The 20th century has seen the convenience, economy, and consistency of American fast food restaurants revolutionize the way the world eats. To celebrate this tasty legacy, why not ring out the century with a drive-thru tour of nationally and internationally famous fast food chains? Because each chain has specific specialty items upon which their reputation rests, we suggest a dim sum approach to your tour. Order one or two notable items from each restaurant and eat them as you drive to the next restaurant for more food.
