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:
