Subway in NYC is implementing SMS ordering. Pretty Awesome. Great move for Subway to do this. Island Burgers in NYC should implement SMS ordering too along with a walkup pickup window.
On the West Coast, I hope In-N-Out Burger allows for SMS ordering. Buffalo Joe's in Chicago, Portillo's in Chicago, Potbelly's in Chicago, Fat Burger in LA,... Heck, why not every fast food joint?
New Year's resolution to drop 30 lbs? Forget it, I'm gaining 30 lbs. after this news :)
Anyway, more from Springwise on this new service:
"We've already written on two separate occasions about GoMobo and its service enabling food ordering via text message. Always happy to see a good idea spread, we were recently pleased to note that the company has signed on sandwich chain Subway for text ordering in New York City.
Users of Subway Now begin by entering their address online to find the Subway shop nearest them. They then create and save their favourite orders, each of which is assigned a number. To order by text message, they simply text the word "menu" to Subway's shortcode, and the service sends back a list of their favourites. They reply with the number they want, and Subway Now responds with a text confirmation and pickup time. All orders are paid via credit card information saved on the Subway Now site, so customers can skip the line entirely when they pick up their food, and the service itself is free..."

Ode to McDonald's
When I see those golden arches, driving down the street
I can’t help but imagine, that tender precious meat.
No Chophouse, Morton’s or other Chicago fare
But something about McDonald’s that makes its meat so rare.
Through decades of labor, toil and sweat,
Taste tests and trials that made their sandwiches so well kept.
This pursuit of perfection is what I admire most,
And allows McDonalds make their billions and billions boast.
Their cheeseburger is so simple yet delicious,
Their Filet-o-Fish so juicy and divine,
It’s amazing the delicate balance of flavors,
That each achieved to make them so refined.
Their breakfast burrito is a feat of magic
The perfect blend of egg, sausage and cheese.
It is amazing when I taste and chew it,
A rare moment when I’m fully pleased.
Woe to Morgan Spurlock for his film of lies,
I’ve eaten at Mickey D’s for days straight,
Countless meals of burgers, Coke, and fries,
And nothing expediated my final date.
My one gripe I have is the random McRib,
Why do you tease us king of fast food nation?
Please just place it on your regular menu,
Then I will be in complete and utter elation.
(yeah another random food poem like my "Ode To Bacon" several years ago, which got me an invite to the Jimmy Kimmel Show)
