"Fridge-to-table"

'Never, Ever...expect a fast food restaurant to be fast.'

"Take your lunch hour, now, Julie...see you in ten minutes."

"Joel! Killer crust!"

"No thanks, I brought my lunch."

The marketing is out there now. People all know the pizzas are prepared on the premises. So why no customers?

Microwave. Do you have any idea of the time pressure I'm under?

'What kind of...'

"I'm going across the street for a sandwich and coffee. Can I get you something?"

"By the time I've read all the nutrition and ingredients information I've lost my appetite!"

'What do you mean you're not hungry?'

Real Fast Food.

'I know you're in a hurry, so I ran all the leftovers through the blender.'

"They should have just stuck with deep dish."

'What do you mean, you're not hungry? - Your mother spent two minutes cooking that in the microwave just for you!'

'Let's buy juice from that mobile juice bar! Oh, it's gone.'

"Be careful, Dear, this chili has quite a kick!"

"Okay, so what do we add?"

Yes, I know it's only been three hours - I'm a fast faster!

'For the instant mashed potatoes, the head and serve puddings, the canned cranberry sauce, the defrost and serve pumpkin pie and the delivered roast turkey, we are truly thankful.'

"The food was awful, but we got right in."

"And we give you sixty seconds to complete your order or Joey does it for you."

Slow food is healthier. But who has time to cook after work? My 30-minute meals cookbook helps. I've got one for 15-minute mains. I've got one for 12-minute dishes from scratch. Hmm�Exactly when does slow food become fast food? When your last meeting ends at 6 and parents' night starts at 7 sharp.

'Here's to the frozen food aisles at the supermarket!'

Convenience food: '...these days you can get your vegetables this way.'
