The other night I walked in the door, and low and behold my wife was taping a CNBC original documentary for me.  Big Mac: Inside the McDonald’s Empire was an interesting, if not enlightening peek behind the closed doors of the world’s largest fast food corporation.  It examined the missteps that lead the company to it’s first ever quarterly loss a few years ago, the change in direction it prompted, and a number of other cool slices of life from behind the glass doors.  We got to meet McD’s head chef responsible for all of the new menu choices.  We saw their rigorous new menu item quality control testing.  We got a peek into their operations in China.  All in all, a pretty cool look at things.

Knowing the cable channels, there’s a good chance this will run over and over again for the next month.  If it doesn’t, you can just hop on the official website to check out some pretty lengthy clips from the show.  A great chance to see how things are done.
