not so sure that running a restaurant and running a global enterprise correlate well Ray Kroc made the transition pretty well, but it's true that there aren't too many Ray Kroc's around. But don't kid yourself, there are some folks out there who have run some pretty large chains of McDonalds. That's what I had in mind - or, say, whoever it was who was responsible for setting up the Russian operation. The guys there now are a tad bit too ivory tower in that regard, methinks. It's worse than that, IMO. They HATE the fact that they run a fast food chain and would rather be in charge of almost anything else. I say put them in charge of the Swiss hotels and get someone in Oak Brook who is comfortable with the idea of flipping burgers. Can you tell that I am incredibly frustrated with MCD's management? Buffett sure had it right when he sold.
