literally another aussie in london

Literally an aussie in Paris: Quick

People like to say, oh you can’t do this or that there, that is not right.

Fuck em I say.

These are the same people who only ever travel in tour groups or get up early every morning on holidays.

There are no rules on holiday.

If i want to not go to the arc of whatits, i wont.

If i don’t want to wear a beret, i wont.

And if i don’t want to watch a french film in french, i wont.

Paris is Paris, explore it your way.

My way is via fast food.

Every international country i have troubled too i have eaten fast food, mainly via hamburgers and fries.

It started in America (the heart of the cheeseburger), but it has gone with me to South Africa, England and now France.

Luckily for me, in France they have Quick, a burger place that seems to fill the hole of not having any burger kings.

McDonalds still reign supreme here, but Quick is the thinking persons fast food (like burger king).

Why are they good, well they seem to have some form of real steak in their burgers, they have real cheese in there as well, and they have an assortment of buns and burgers to choose from.

They have this thing called the Quick N Toast, which has steak bacon and blue cheese, and has a toasted sandwich exterior.

It’s shit hot, and yes i said bacon, only place i found bacon in France at a lowly fast food establishment, because as well all know, fast food restaurants are the truest form of humanity.

The bacon was of McDonald’s quality, but who was i to argue about the quality after living without the hope of bacon for days.

I got my food for take away, and awaited the usual walk with bag of food in one hand, drinks in the other that i had done so many times before.

Quick don’t see why you should have to use both hands, like an animal, when carrying food.

They have a carry all box, a box with a handle, that can fit 2 drinks, 3 burgers, deux frites and so many condiments.

It’s like the the swiss army knife of fast foodery.

So not only did they give the world fries, but they gave the world the perfect carrying implement.

I suggest to everyone that they eat Quick when in Paris, fuck the tourist fascists who prey on the fun of everyone.

Look at all the space, much more room than the average french apartment. And way cleaner.


The design is practical, and yet has a certain style to it, it’s Andy Warholesqeu with traces of early cubism.


The handle is red.
