Thrillist’s Best Burgers in America & Miami

Earlier this month Thrillist released their Best Burgers in America. “The 47 American Burger Spots You Need to Try Right Now” is not filled with the usual suspects.

Who Remembers the Burger King Whopper Sacrifice?

One of my all-time favorite BK promotions was the Subservient Chicken, totally wacky, and right up my alley. As great as that was, whoever came up with Whopper Sacrifice in 2009 hit it out of the park. Social media at the time was just really spreading to all ages groups. We were transitioning from MySpace...
