Amidst all the outrage over Burger King's move to Canada, Chris Matthews wants to make sure you know that he really loves Burger King.
He also seems to be suffering from some kind of possible psychological trauma over ordering his burgers plain.
"I love Burger King. It’s my favorite," Matthews announced passionately on his show, gushing about how it tastes "like it’s been grilled out back on a barbecue. They taste great plain because the meat’s great. They don’t have to bury it with a lot of mustard, ketchup and pickles so you can’t taste the burger."
"So, when you order one plain, they don’t go nuts like they do at some other fast food places--like nobody’s ever dared to do that before," Matthews said, with a distinct note of bitterness in his voice.
"Anyway, let’s get this straight. I love Burger King," Matthews repeated, to make sure everyone was following.
Matthews fondly reminisced that he once gave a rousing speech to a group of Burger King franchisees: "I said to stick to burgers--no waffles or pizzas or tamales. Just sell the burger. Don't go changin' it or confuse the customer. You're a burger joint. Be proud of it."
