I'm not much of a burger person but I could never eat a BK burger.
Something about them just tasted "off" to me. And it wasn't just one
location. I tried several. Didn't care for their fries either.

Actually I never really worked in the food industry at all. Unless you
count that one crazy time I decided to pick cucumbers when I was about 12
years old. Why I opted to work in the blazing heat for such low wages is
beyond me. Never again.

I love to cook but I don't think I'd like to do it for a living.
