Jared vs. The Grimace, Round 38

Reader Ari Spanier points to a Wash Post article about the new head of the Cleveland (Ohio) Clinic, a low-fat version of Wyatt Earp, working to kick McDonald's off the medical complex's "sprawling campus."

A heart surgeon who has cleaned out a career's worth of clogged arteries, [center head Toby] Cosgrove didn't think Big Macs, supersize fries and inch-thick, six-cheese pizzas belonged in the lobby of a hospital renowned for its cardiac care. So he decreed the fast-food joints had to go.

Pizza Hut went quietly. But McDonald's, halfway through a 20-year lease, has refused to shut down a franchise that serves 12,000 doctors, nurses, janitors, secretaries, patients and visitors each week.

"Our menu is something we're all proud of," said Marty Ranft, a McDonald's vice president. "We've got a great relationship with the Cleveland Clinic. We are not interested in closing" the restaurant.

Whole story here.

That's setting up a showdown by the Subway sandwich shop at Cleveland Center. And just like in Tombstone (or Dodge City), it's kind of hard to know who the villain really is.

Jacob Sullum--who makes a cameo in the doc--looked upon Morgan Spurlock's anti-McDonald's Super Size Me and despaired.
