Be it a classic Big Mac or a hearty Quarter Pounder, the core ingredient that these McDonald's burgers can't do without are the ground beef patties. Some of you fast food fans out there might have wondered how McDonald's patties came to be while chomping down on that burger. Well, there aren't dedicated burger-shapers pressing fresh patties from a bucket of ground beef working behind the counter at each McDonald's. To streamline the operation, McDonald's buys all of its ingredients — from the beef patties in the burgers to the coffee it brews — from external vendors.

Texas Eatery Serves The 'Best Fried Chicken' In The Entire State

Bentonville, AR

Life has an interesting way of rewarding us at the most unexpected moments. For a waitress at Oven and Tap restaurant in Bentonville, Arkansas, a life-changing surprise awaited one evening in December 2021. Ryan Brandt, who served a dinner party of 44 real estate executives, was astounded to receive a whopping $4400 tip. Grant Wise, a real estate consultant, organized this generous gesture where each member of the dinner party contributed $100 toward the tip that was meant to be shared by Brandt and one other waitress. However, Brandt's happiness was short-lived because the restaurant soon fired her citing policy violation reasons, as per KNWA.

Applebee's recently brought back their all you can eat appetizer, which includes their double-crunch shrimp, tender riblets and boneless buffalo wings for just $15.99. With that, you also get unlimited fries — just as long as you don't share them. It's a rule the restaurant tells patrons of ahead of time (it's noted on the menu), but a woman in Illinois disregarded that warning and shared her appetizers anyway.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
