To Whom It May Concern:

Season 2 of Hamburger Business Review kicked off with an episode about Mike finding employment at a quick service restaurant1 similar to the ones we discuss on our show. We’ve talked about the work. We’ve interviewed his partner about the work’s effect on their relationship. We’ve learned about his crew, the difficulties of opening the folded child size fry boxes during rush hour, and the tangle of syrup tubes and ethernet cables that keep business flowing.

But how long would Mike last? In this, the last episode of the season, we find out.


A snack-sized podcast episode like this one demands some snack-sized news to go with it. McDonald’s is bringing back the Snack Wrap. It’s a chicken tender wrapped in a tortilla with lettuce, cheese, and either ranch or spicy sauce. The Reddit community seems unimpressed.
