LOS LUNAS, NM - Three employees at a New Mexico fast food restaurant are facing felony charges for allegedly putting pot inside two police officer's hamburgers over the weekend. Police say officers Henry Gabaldon and Mark Landauazo decided to stop for a snack at the Los Lunas Burger King just before 11 Sunday night. The officers conducted a field test on the burgers when they noticed something was wrong. The results came back positive for marijuana.

Los Lunas Police arrested 19-year old Jason Armijo, 21-year old Robert Knuckols, and 33-year old Joseph Ledesma on a variety of felony charges. Police say they don’t know why the put the marijuana inside the burgers. But, both officers became sick and were taken to the hospital.

Can Fast Food Really Be Restaurant Food?

Heck…sure it can. That’s where it all started with us at Macdonald’s Gourmet Burgers!!! Ian (Macca as he has always been known since he was 4).

Ian Macdonald wants to be socially responsible and help make sure that others are not unnecessarily affected by poor food choices.

No more fat laden meat, sugar filled buns, no more salted, preserved, artificially flavoured whatevers ...

We are all about super nutritious, low fat healthy food that can be anything from take away, (we would prefer your company), to relaxed stays to enjoy a premium restaurant meal with some mighty fine beers and premium wine.

Virtually all of us love a great hamburger. It’d the worlds most consumed food these days. Not that that is necessarily a great thing. It's mainly because of the fact that they are mass produced and cheap due to their disregard for our health and wellbeing. They are simply a convenience food in many places that have nothing to do with nutritious, tasty and healthy food.

So anyway that is what we have wanted to change and so far so good…. We have lots of regulars already. (No I’m not talking about just our kids!).

It seems lots of people also share our passion about becoming aware of the oncoming obesity problem amongst our population and especially our kids.

So come and join us and get the word out to the kids especially, that they need to be aware of what they eat and the effect it has on their body and their future.

It takes a lot of energy ...

Well it takes a lot of energy (and money) to organise any new business, and a Gourmet Burger restaurant is no different!! Then there is the teething problems, ….then there is the website to do (after 2 years of writing, and design, and preparation),…then making sure all the documentation is correct, and all the regulations are adhered to…. And so on ……

The only thing that keeps you going sometimes is the thoughts of being with our local community and speaking to, and making friends with our new customers. The opportunity to contribute and help people that maybe do not have this same opportunity is a great incentive too! And in that regard,
we have already made special arrangements to help with life saving surgery, for a very special person who you are going to learn all about very soon. And we know that our customers will want to get involved too.

We are going to regularly add to this Blog, so stay in touch and come back regularly to find out how we are going, and what we are doing. There will be competitions, special offers, updates on our charity work, and lots and lots of fun to be had. And drop us a line any time and give us your
comments and your feedback, especially if you have some news about what is going on that you think we might be interested in.

Or at the very least ….. call in and just say hi!
