It is the boxing of the business world. An environment where the pretenders and the contenders face off in their bid to be the best. A high stakes game of value combos, teenage employees and crispy fries. It is the sport of kings; it is of course, the fast food franchise. A vicious, greasy business at the best of times, the challenge is even greater for the brave Canadian contender. Many have stepped into the ring, many have been knocked on their ass.

Faced with an uphill fight caused by a low dollar, image problems and a nation with an unquenchable thirst for poutine, the Canadian fast food outlet is the proverbial underdog. Can the plucky spirit of our homegrown franchises withstand the challenge from their bigger, stronger, international counterparts?

Who can deliver the goods? Who is The Lord Of The Fries?
