My budget can cover the burger... the giant robot, not so much. =(
Just found out that there are two interesting things being made in Japan now.

The first is a life-sized GUNDAM Mobile Suit:



The second is the Quarter Pounder restaurants. They're McDonald's restaurants, actually... but in order to attract more people, two McDonald's in Tokyo have been converted into establishments that sell exclusively Quarter Pounder burgers (plus fries and drinks, of course). Everything else is gone... even the traditional McDonald's design.

The entrance:




What the inside looks like:






The menu / ordering:




The food:




Sooo... basically, it's a more sleek and classy-looking version of McDonald's, but with only two items on the menu. It seemed a little weird to me at first, but looking at those pictures, it seems like those two places are doing pretty well.

And now I want a burger.

Shocking, isn't it? Too bad the food didn't become as upscale as the building! -_-

(Still makes me hungry though)

Wait, does that Gundam WORK?

Also I kinda like the streamlined McD's concept. I don't like their food at all, but the concept is kinda sound. No fussing with the menu, no confusion, fast-moving queues, nicer surroundings... seems pretty cool. :)

Lol... no, I don't think it works. Maybe that's the NEXT project. xD

The menu reminds me an awful lot of In-N-Out, a burger restaurant franchise that's popular in California. There are only three types of burgers to choose from.

Oh damn, the outside of that store *_________* It looks like it should house an upscale steakhouse. I want to shake the hand of whatever designer came up with that.

Yeah, I know what you mean... good thing there's a picture of a burger outside; otherwise, someone might come in there expecting filet mignon and be terribly disappointed when they learn the truth.
