The 80's- What a Decade!!!

Tacos at JB? Fries at DelTaco? Sandwiches with No Buns?!?
It's funny, when I was a kid I hated mustard. Now I love it. If it was appropriate it to put it on cereal I probably would. It's funny how our taste buds change over time. Or sometimes just change. Who really knows why? Is it because of our partners?... I didn't like mustard until I met my wife. Now I like it. I wasn't a fan of kettel corn or of onions until I met my wife. They're both enjoyable to me now. My wife also introduced me to Chick-Fil-A and Whattburger. Amen!
And I'd like to say that my wife really does like jalapenos and pepperoncinis now because of me. I could put those two things on anything! And I don't think my wife tried tabasco in her popcorn until I came into her life. I like things spicy!
I'm not really a picky eater either. I'll eat anything. I prefer- or like- certain foods but there's no food I really don't like and I'm not one of those people that orders things plain or takes off the olives and tomatos. Honestly, those types of people kind of annoy me but hey, to each his own.
The other day I went to McDonald's. I don't go there often but I just had to get some nuggets. Man, McD's Coke is the best. When I was a kid there was nothing better than the Coke from McDonald's and a thick straw to streamline the sugar into my veins. For whatever reason though, the Diet Coke at McD's is horrendous. It tastes absolutely awful. Why is that?
Other food delicacies and randomness....
I love the pickles at Port of Subs. Very sandwhich friendly. They're sliced thin and longways. Perfection. No one else does it like that. Instead we get the little ones that fall out on our tray and then we eat them individually for dessert after the sandwhich. Well at least that's what I do.
I do not like Starbucks coffee. But I love coffee! People that know me know that I love coffee. I'll drink it 24/7 to if I damn well please. And I'm not a picky coffee drinker either. I drink it black. But something about Starbucks coffee makes me cringe.
Arby's is friggin amazing. How come that franchise isn't huge like McDonalds or Wendys? Arby sauce is the the absolute greatest thing ever on a roast beef sandwhich? And their ham sandwhich is nothing to throw out of bed either.
Del Taco makes an excellent burger, and they serve fries with tacos? Um, can we all agree- genius!
Whattaburger is awesome. I'd like for them to be out west. More importantly, in Las Vegas.
Jack in the Box is not topping the charts on quality. But they have an exellent marketing company and I think that's why they do so well. Ever have a taco at J in the B? They're 2 for 99 cents. They've probably been 2/99 cents since Reagen was in office. They basically deep fry these things. They look atrocious, smell funny, have a full slice of cheese in them, and you can literally see through the shell because of the grease. And yet? I love them. You know what else is good at J in the Box? There Ranch dressing. Weird, huh? I'm not even sure why they have it.
Wendy's has the best Spicy Chicken Sandwich ever! Seriously. I even told my wife I think it's better than Chick-Fil-A. It's that good. Wendy's also puts about 2 lbs. of salt in every to-go order. Why? It's Wendy's, not Salty's.
Taco Bell does the same thing but with hot sauce. If you ask for hot sauce they literally give you a separate bag for it. I think the first week they were open people must have been like: "Uh, yeah, hi, can I get 3 crunchy tacos and 64 hot sauces. Thanks." And ever since then the management just figured you needed to give out a dozen sauce packets per taco to keep them coming back....Next time your at TB ask for hot sauce. Heck, ask for hot and mild sauce. See how many you get. If you use all of the sauce they give you then I guarantee your next trip to the bathroom will burn.
Diet Dr. Pepper vs. Diet Mountian Dew. Who wins? So delicious. Tie.
Bloody Marys vs. Mimosas on a Sunday afternoon. Who wins? Tie. They're both awesome and you should drink them both. Simultaneously.
Gordon Biersch Garlic Fries. Ever try these? Seriously, they're good, but trying to get that taste out of your mouth is like trying to get that 3 dollar Cigar taste out of your mouth. Seriously, I'll wake up the next day from eating them and can still taste garlic in my mouth. I order my fries plain now when I'm at GB. Cole Martin doesn't though- he loves those things!
Ever been to Wienerschnitzel? I think you can get 8 hot dogs for like a quarter! Not worth it. Keep your quarter.
Carl's Jr? They're building one near my house. A few years back they had the Rodeo Burger. I swear to God this was what came on it: 1/2 pound of meat, mayonaise, ranch dressing, bacon, an onion ring, BBQ sauce, and 3 slices of cheese. I would have loved to been in the corporate office when that was in the works.... "Ok, now lets put our heads together guys...let's create thee most unhealthy, high caloric, sandwich in the world! I'm talking 5-6000 calories for one burger. Any ideas?" And so the Rodeo Burger was born. Get yours today.
Subway now has pizza. Notice they don't advertise it though. It would interfere with those god awful Jared/healthy lifestyle/5 dollar footlong ads they ram down our throats.
Have you seen the new KFC sandwhich? That things laughable. Screw bread. Let's just use fried chicken for bread and throw some bacon, cheese- 2 slices, and some high calorie special sauce on it. Double-Down!
Ok, this has been too much talk of food. You hungry yet? Where's the beef? I'm lovin' it. Makin' it great!

ReplyDeleteP.S.-I tried the KFC Double Down. Overrated. Turns out bread really does make a sandwich.
