The global rise of the döner-industrial complex
Mrs. Curious Capitalist and I were driving through Leesburg, Va., Saturday in search of cookies when we came across this curious sight: A Turkish döner kebab van, apparently by way of Germany, doing business in exurban Virginia.
Anyway, Mrs. CC took this lovely photo of said van, and I was sure I could come up with something Tom Friedmany to say about it and globalization: The world is flat, like a slice of döner. Or maybe it's sorta conelike, like döner still on the spit. Or maybe it's made up of lots of pressed-together meat ... Awww, I give up.

If there's any kind of fast food that America needs, it's Doner. I was in Germany 5 years ago and I miss Doner almost more than anything. You could get a heaping Doner Kebab for 5 marks ($2.50 at the time) and it was tastier, healthier, and more filling than anything I've seen in the states. The only thing that comes close is gyros!

I am an exchange student from Germany and currently in the United States. Doener is my most favorite food. Sometimes I even dream about eating it, just because it is really filling and healthy! It would make a tasty addition to Burger, Sandwiches and Pizza! If you didn't try it yet, you should. You don't know what you're missing.
