Car Con Carne

Burger King unveiled it's Whopperito (a Whopper made like a burrito) on August 15th, and I decided to try it during BK's launch week. Fast food's never been a Car Con Carne "thing," but sometimes I have to point the Mazda 3 in the direction of the zeitgeist. Patrick Brower, co-owner of Challengers Comics and co-host of the excellent behind-the-scenes Yak Channel Network podcast "Contest of Challengers," jumped in the front seat to try the Whopperito with me. Patrick's an old friend and a great conversationalist. Over Whopperitos, we cover: *Patrick's kidney stone. He's been waiting for weeks to pass it. We cover every aspect of the diagnosis and subsequent medical concerns and initiatives, including straining pee (like panning for gold), pain meds and the discomfort of getting an ultrasound. It's a fascinating (and funny) discussion; though perhaps inappropriate for dinner conversation. *Who has the best fast food fries (it's not Burger King) *The nuances of the Whopperito: Donde esta el queso? *We miss Mike
