McDonald's Corp, the world's biggest restaurant chain, reported an 11 percent fall in quarterly revenue as it fights to recover from food scandals in China and Japan and faces tough competition at home in the United States

Some owners decide they should be responsible for waitstaff wages. But where does that leave diners?

Taco Bell is running an ad campaign themed “Breakfast Defectors” in a sarcastic attempt at trolling the rest of the fast food industry’s lack of creativity when it comes to breakfast sandwiches. The campaign is an updated version of the Apple commercial modeled after the dystopian novel 1984 by George Orwell.

Almost 120 years ago, long before anyone waited in line to feast on eggs benedict and French toast, the word brunch appeared in print for the first time in the United States. "The latest 'fad' is to issue invitations for a meal called 'brunch...a repast at 11 o'clock a.m.," a column in the New Oxford, an old Pennsylvania newspaper, explained in 1896. Originally conceived for the wealthy as a drawn-out, elaborate affair, brunch, like a runny egg, soon dribbled out into the mainstream.

"There was one item at Da Kitchen though I hadn’t seen anywhere else, fried spam musubi. Spam is hugely popular on the islands, due to an overabundance of the potted meat during World War II and a few creative cooks. Another fixture of Hawaiian cuisine is Japanese food, so it’s not too surprising I guess that some enterprising soul decided to combine the two."

McDonald's is going to experiment with serving breakfast all day. The chain will start testing a 24-hour breakfast menu next month at several locations in San Diego, the company told Business Insider. If the test is successful, McDonald's could expand it to other markets. Testing all-day breakfast "makes sense," Janney Capital Markets analyst Mark Kalinowski wrote in a recent research note. Some of the most "craveable" items on the McDonald's menu are the McMuffins and McGriddles, he noted.

Poutine may sound like a onomatopoeia for a soggy little toot, but it’s actually a national symbol of culinary identity for Canadians—and something that you put in your mouth long before making that inevitable poot sound. For a dish that’s so primitively simple, it’s often the subject of much confusion and ambiguity for foreigners: It’s rumoured that Canadians dine on it daily, it’s the peak of our culinary arts, and that we use it as a bonding agent to build our homes.

24-hour access to Egg McMuffins and hash browns could be on the horizon.

At first, it sounds like an unresolvable contradiction: a meal that will set you back $75, and which consists almost entirely of garbage. It begins to make sense, though, once you begin to consider how much of what we see as disposable actually has value. Or can have value, in the hands of the right person. Stepping up to the challenge is Dan Barber, the chef and co-owner of Manhattan’s Blue Hill, who transformed the high-end restaurant, for two weeks only, into wastED...

For Glen Bell, the eighth time was the charm. As Debra Lee Baldwin recounts in her 1999 biography Taco Titan, Bell started no fewer than seven businesses in Southern California between 1948 and 1957: four separate hamburger stands, two different chains of taquerias and a miniature golf course. Bell left each business within three years of founding it -- usually by selling his share of the company to a business partner or family member.

A man who leaned over a plate of sizzling fajitas to pray can't sue a Westampton restaurant because the dish burned him, an appellate court ruled Wednesday. Hiram Jimenez sought damages from Applebee's Neighborhood Grill and Bar after a March 2010 incident at the chain's restaurant on Burlington-Mount Holly Road. But an appellate panel said Applebee's can't be held responsible because the hot food posed an "open and obvious" danger.

McDonald’s said its U.S. restaurants will stop selling chicken raised with antibiotics that are important to human health, one of the biggest moves yet by a major food company to address growing concerns over antibiotic-resistant ‘super bugs.’

As a new writer for Elite Readers I would like to share an experience I had with a Golden Corral Buffet Restaurant in Portsmouth, Ohio. I was employed at one of these franchise stores for 5 days before I was terminated. My first day on the job I noticed some very illegal and just gross things occurring in the kitchen of this store. I begin to record secrete video using my phone and after a few days of this I turned in everything I had captured to the local health department.

As I prepare to sample the world’s most expensive pot of tea, which has gone on the menu for the first time at the Royal China Club in central London, it is in fact the list of exotic, off-menu items I am told about – each with an eye-watering price tag – that piques my interest.

While this menu item is bizarre, it represents a few food trends. Restaurants have been ramping up offerings of protein as more diners watch their carbs. Taco Bell released an entire menu of protein-heavy items last year. And the Double Down Dog's popularity on social media is free advertising for KFC. Here's a photo of the original Double Down.

London has some of the best restaurants on the planet, but if you really want to titillate your tastebuds and have a unique meal, head down to one of these weird and wonderful eateries.

A restaurant in Zhengzhou, China, is experimenting with allowing customers to pay with a new form of currency -- their beauty. As originally reported by Xinhua, China's official news agency, the restaurant uses a "face scanner" to take a picture of customers before they're seated. Both the beautiful and wannabe hotties are then judged on their appearance by a panel of "experts," who are actually plastic surgeons the restaurant has some sort of joint promotion agreement with.

No longer relegated to the all-you-can-eat casino smorgasbord, roast beef is making a comeback at of-the-moment restaurants like Cherche Midi and Lafayette.

Kim Jong-un could try and open a restaurant in Scotland serving delicacies such as dog meat soup, North Korea experts claim. This comes after the controversial leader brought his chain, The 'Pyongyang' restaurants, over to Europe by launching one in Holland. Now North Korea watchers believe Scotland may be the next prime location, largely thanks to the popularity of whisky among the communist ruling elite.

Yesterday, a federal judge overturned the state of California's ban on foie gras. Great news, for assholes.
