Taking a break from being a Desperate Housewife, Mrs. Eva Longoria-Parker dished out burgers to hungry customers at a Wendy’s restaurant in her hometown on Corpus Christi, Texas. To the delight of customers expecting only shakes and fries, Eva worked the drive-thru window to raise money for the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption and the Wendy’s Wonderful Kid’s Foundation.

Word quickly spread quickly around town and cars were soon piled into the parking lot waiting for their chance to be served by a celebrity. The charity hopes to raise 1.3 million dollars in order to help match between 8,000-10,000 kids with adoptive families by 2010. Good job Wendy’s, and good job Eva! (thx. dailymail)

George Lopez is one of my favorite comedians and I definitely can’t get enough of him, or his show (which now plays nightly along with Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Home Improvement). Let’s take it back a few years and enjoy his quick take on fast food. Enjoy:

Though some may already be aware, for the seemingly unknowing, it has become public that Arby’s owner, Nelson Peltz, has captured the Wendy’s empire (America’s 3rd largest hamburger chain) for a sum of $2.34 billion. It is unclear at the moment what will become of this transfer of power…definitely stand by as we await the news on the fate of our beloved Frosty. (thx. MSNBC)

I’m always on the prowl, researching day and night for the best food deals. I just found a nice, quick video tutorial on how to enjoy some free McDonald’s, even when there is no promotion going on (no need to thank me Mang, I work hard for you!):

It’s common knowledge that vegetables are good for you. Growing up, we ate them because Mom knows best. We eat them now because Mom knows best and we have places like Souplantation, which serves all-you-care-to-eat salads, made-from-scratch soups, hot-tossed pastas, and freshly baked breads and muffins using only high-quality, fresh ingredients at 100 restaurants in 15 states. 5 servings a day? I’ll take my chances at Souplantation.

We were supposed to be in lecture, hence the thumbs up!

Miles and miles of freshness.

Elie’s an artist with the salads.

Won-Ton Chicken Happiness.

Joan’s Brocolli Madness.

Mang abusing the garlic bread. Smart kid. It’s delicious.

Fruit Medley Bran Muffins (96% Fat Free!)

Yeah, I know. I’m a surgeon with the baked potato.

An abundance of soups. And a long shot Elie’s Enormous Left Bicep.

Yankee Clipper Clam Chowder with Bacon.

Deep Kettle House Chili (Low Fat).

Fire Roasted Tomato Basil, Marinara with Meatballs, Macaroni and Cheese.

Our ravishing work at the dessert bar.

If you have yet to experience the bounty of fresh, wholesome food at Souplantation, then today would certainly be the perfect time. The sun is out, the weather is heating up, and a crisp, blooming salad followed with a heavenly ice cream sundae would be the perfect treat to beat the heat. I’m straight rhyming now baby. Didn’t even mean to. That’s how much I love this unique escape from humdrum snacks and fast food. Check it out!
