Maybe it's because I feel like he's ready to vomit the words "chicken burger," such is his rising disdain. Maybe the title of the video itself -- Crazy McDonalds employee sells Sloppy Beijing Burger.

I dunno, maybe you would. I’m just asking. Would you also lick up that limpid runoff along the side of the bun? How ’bout those jellybean dollops of tart hanging off the lip? What if I told you all the above was organic? And that it can be found at Dog on Fire, in Sanlitun? Huh.... Read more »
