McDonald’s is Testing Kitchen Robots and AI-Powered Drive-Thrus. It’s About Time
Last week the Wall Street Journal broke the story that McDonald’s is testing robotic deep fryers and voice-activated drive-thrus at a location in suburban Chicago. The story didn’t lay out a ton of details. We don’t know what the robotic fryer will look like — whether it’s akin to Miso Robotic’s Flippy, which fries tater tots with an articulating arm, or if it’s more of an automated basket that dips and raises from hot oil. Likewise, all we know about the new drive-thru tech is that it’s a type of voice recognition technology.

‘Great food, but please do something about the noise’ – the battle for quieter restaurants
Gregory Scott’s friends have asked him to find a quiet restaurant for dinner.

When did America’s heart turn cold on buffet chains?
Chicken wings aren’t good, yet the ones at Ponderosa Steakhouse in 1999 were delicious. The chain of buffets was founded in 1963 by Dan Blocker, who played Eric “Hoss” Cartwright on Bonanza, and enjoyed its peak popularity when TV Westerns were still big.

They made their way to a table, sat down and, within seconds, realized they couldn’t eat there. Over on a wall, “there was the biggest TV that I’ve ever seen,” Young recalls. “It’s like me, her and the TBS movie of the week.”
