Occupation full-time father and artist ; part-time screw-up
Introduction Hi, I’m Nigel. This is my blog about fast food and fast food restaurants. I like to read columns about fine dining, but it’s hard for me to relate when the author writes things like “Entrees start at just $35 a plate.” I don’t care about the wine list and I don’t have the clothes for places like that anyway. I’ve wanted to write about fast food for years, and when I first had the idea I don’t think anyone else was doing it. In the meantime, plenty of columns and blogs have popped up. Unfortunately, a lot of these writers seem to be frustrated comedians who just want to make wisecracks about grease and fat people. Hey, Let's focus on the food. I just wish someone would warn me about a bad meal before I waste $5. Are you in?
Interests Top three: family, art, music
Favorite Movies 5th Element, Wings Of Desire, Bladerunner, The Jerk, Aliens, Singin' In The Rain, Stargate, epic period pieces, and heavily propagandized war films
Favorite Music "I like American music. Do you like American music? I like American music, baby." Flippant remarks aside, I like: Paul Westerberg, Steve Earle, U2, Beatles, Kinks, The Allman Bros., Johnny Cash, They Might Be Giants, and lately--The Hold Steady.
Favorite Books The kind with them word thingys.

You've written a hit musical! How will you avoid having fame go to your head?

I'll just let the fame go straight to my butt.
