KISS Burger

KISS have dominated the world in virtually every way musically and marketing-wise (Gold records, Kiss Caskets, Kiss Condoms, Coffee Shops, etc) -- Why the KISS BURGER chain? Why now?
The music of KISS is condom enough.

Terri Gross once interviewed one of the cows that went into a KISS Burger, but NPR has the footage locked away in a secret underground vault.

I'm not a big fan of using fag pejoratively.
From the fake job application 2) How important is it to you that KISS are inducted into the "Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" this year?
Somewhat Important
Extremely Important
They're not in already? Who's the fag running that joint?
And there is also this:
I have a survival instinct in me that has allowed me to succeed at whatever I put my mind toward. There are no failures. I have never even had a sip of alcohol in my entire life simply because I don't want to be off my game for even one second. I look at the competition like I do at Palestinian children -- I want to beat them.
Calling a tuna sandwich a fur burger is funny, but then the kid ruins it with some hate on for a womens group-which is about the only outbound link on the site I came across (not that I stuck around much). Its theoretically possible to have a Palestinian child beating KISS fur burger fag joke site that is funny, but this ain't it.

"And instead of being in a rock and roll band -- who the hell wants to do that? I don't -- I want to be in a rock and roll brand. I want to be Disney without the overhead. And I'm on the way."
npr really does have the interview locked away....

"Due to pressure from the guys over at "The National Organization for Women" KISS BURGER has removed the 'Fur Burger"\' from our menu. We apologize to those in the lesbian community for our poor judgement."
Well, OK then.

Apparently it's real, or at least vaporware-real
There was some weird cross promotion with KISS and Canter's Deli last time I was there a few months ago. It just seemed so out of place in Canter's. Celebrity cross promotion? Weird. Canter's is as much an LA/Hollywood institution as freeways are, and sometimes their both nearly as pleasant either way. Just not the kind of schmutz I usually find sticking to the menus there.
But there's always been some weird connection between KISS and Canter's.

KISS Burger: For when you're craving something stale, cheesy, and with an unpleasant aftertaste.

OK, it's official - I need to get out more. Did anyone else notice that the addresses for the Kiss Burger locations are actual places of business?
12601 Ventura Blvd - Carney's
8944 Santa Monica Blvd - Motherlode (gay leather bar in West Hollywood)
7734 Santa Monica Blvd - Tomcat theatre (gay porn theatre with Porn Walk of Fame in front, across from the Pleasure Chest)
1433 N La Brea - Crazy Girls (strip club)
2000 Ave of the Stars - large office bldg populated by entertainment law firms & the CAA
5930 Franklin Blvd - Church of Scientology
10236 Charing Cross Road - Playboy Mansion
189 The Grove Drive (the Grove shopping centre, also across from Park La Brea)
All that's missing is Barneys and you have a good circuit of corporate metal sorts of places to be.
Canters & Kiss is a natural - haven't you been to Canters at 3AM? Or the Kibbutz Room?

This ain't an In-n-Out Burger joint.
At KISS BURGER you don't need to be a certified public accountant to figure out how much your meal will cost:
Every single item on the KISS BURGER menu is priced at $2.50! It's that simple. If you're looking to order more than two items from our menu we offer the "KISS KOMBO" Package * - That's right, for just $10 we will arrange any 3 items in a convenient takeout bag or and easy to carry 4-sided tray. (* includes a $2.50 handling fee)
a 2.50 handling fee to place three items into a bag?? Ridiculous.
