What does a typical day of eating look like for a fast food restaurant CEO?
This post was deleted for the following reason: This seems like it's pretty unlikely to be answerable. -- cortex
Fast Food CEOs in 2011 are very unlikely to be particularly passionate about fast food per se, even to the extent that, say, a clothing company's CEO might be better-dressed than other executives. They most likely eat the same kind of things that other very wealthy people eat.

Apparently, wealthy people are enjoying fast food these days.

Since Ray Kroc, Dave from Wendy's, and Colonel Sander's are all dead, I would assume that CEO's of fast food corporations aren't there because they are passionate about fast food, but because they are passionate about making money. So as suggested above, they probably eat just like other CEO's.

That just raises the question of what other very wealthy people eat. Aren't there super-rich people who happen to love fast food? Yes, billionaire Mayor Bloomberg loves Big Macs. Even if you think someone with a lot of money can afford objectively better food, they might have developed a taste for fast food before they got rich.

As others have said, I highly doubt that they are eating fast food on a regular basis. They're likely eating the same things as other people in their socio-economic group.
Fast food restaurant owners/managers, on the other hand, might end up eating a lot of fast food due to the fact that they actually work in the restaurant (not owners, as much, but there are many owner/operators, especially in smaller towns).

My boss is the CEO of a wine company and he doesn't have wine for lunch. He is actually most likely to go to Costco and buy a hot dog.
I doubt that CEOs of fast food companies are, as a group, much different from the rest of us when it comes to eating habits.

Fred DeLuca eats up to six sandwiches a day. He's also the founder of Subway, rather than a CEO brought in from elsewhere, for what that's worth.

Maybe if you gave some context or reasoning about why you want to know. It might help point people toward what you're hoping to get at.
