I don’t eat McDonalds. Well, usually not. Okay, so it’s a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. Since I stopped eating meat I several years ago, I am no longer able to eat most of the items on the menu, which is definitely a good thing for my thighs and overall health. To this day, I still have a weak spot for the delicious, golden, greasy fries available exclusively at the golden arches. As it turns out, I have a friend who has the very same weak spot, and we both share another commonality — being healthy eaters, we can never actually bring ourselves to actually go in and get any.
Several weeks ago, when she told me that she had decided to move back home for personal reasons, we knew we had to do it – we would go to Mcdonalds together before she left. We were on our way to one of the Mickey D’s locations near the Montgomery Muni station when we passed a little eatery that caught our eyes because of the catchy name. Soup Freaks, located on 90 New Montgomery Street, is true to its name: the unique soups made with sustainably grown organic vegetables, Meyers 100 percent Natural Home Grown Angus Beef and Rosie’s Chickens, are a freakishly healthy and delicious alternative to other quick lunch joints in the area.
My business profile will focus on this downtown soup haven, specifically because it is a specialized restaurant wholly devoted to – you guessed it – soup. Restaurants that specialize in one menu item have become quite a trend lately, so my story will chronicle this recent trend. On top of that, the company has a real concern for the health of its customers, meaning they don’t want them to have to resort to McDonalds. I will include three video clips (one for each interview subject), as well as an audio slideshow using nat sound.
