What has gotten into Kanye? We're okay with celebrities eating fast food. And hey, if you have a Lamborghini, why not use it to roll through a drive-thru? Our question is why on earth would Kanye even bother with McDonald's? We don't know what he ordered, but eating burgers from McDonald's in Los Angeles is like ordering Panda Express in China. Their fries are alright but if you've got a burger craving, why not try In-N-Out if you're in a hurry or any one of these fantastic places if you've got a little more time?

I guess he's lovin' it? Kanye does love his burgers—especially from a business perspective. He bought some European Burger Kings after marrying Kim Kardashian and he used to own some Fatburgers in Chicago.
He's also a fan of the South African chain Nando's and he stopped by a location in London for a burger and some interesting photos with fans:

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
