Cook Out

Early this morning around 1:30 am I drove to Cook Out and ordered a regular cheese burger with chili and slaw and a milkshake. As I starting eating the burger all I could think about was where did the meat come from. But even though I knew the quality of food was not great I still was too hungry to not eat it. There are many times early in the morning around 1 or 2 am when I crave something hot to eat. No dining halls or on campus restaurant's are open at this hour so the only other option is late night fast food. A famous fast food restaurant near campus is Cook Out. Cook Out has cheap food and stays open till 4am every night. The most expensive thing on Cook Outs menu is only $3.69. It's the perfect place for college kids to get food late at night. It may not be the healthiest food but it will definitely satisfy your hunger. You also have to think about the quality of the food when they are selling it for so cheap.

After doing some research the quality of meat is not as bad as I thought. The beef is fresh and the chicken is real. The fruit that is in the milkshakes are also fresh. As I was looking at the nutritional facts I wasn't surprised by the high numbers of calories and fat. With almost 1,000 calories and 55 grams of fat in one burger is not healthy. The cost to package and transport the food was not much at all because the headquarters are in Greensboro, NC. There is only a short 20 miles to Elon from Greensboro. Cook Out is a great restaurant that is very convenient for many kids. The quality of the meat is a step ahead of every other restaurant but it is still very unhealthy for you.
