the 20 worst restaurants foods in america

quesadilla burger was possibly deemed too obvious: anyone putting that in their mouth knows what they're doing and why

whereas most of us would like to feel that if you took a child to a restaurant and offered them pasta, nothing quite so sinister could possibly be happening

agree but "quesadilla burger" still deserves votes--i mean it just SOUNDS wrong

i mean you can have a quesadilla, or you can have a burger, but come the fuck on.

i really wanted to vote for the BBQ chicken wrap due to sup dawg we heard u like ranch so we put some ranch in ur ranch and mayo but the 1800 cal and 86g sat fat in that childsize alfredo is just diabolical.

like, your child could eat this, or go for something healthier LIKE A PINT OF BEN AND JERRY'S

a pint of chubby hubby is 30% lower in calories and 50% lower in sat fat irl btw

the more I think about it, the most sinister thing about that pasta is that it forces adults/parents who take their kids to common restaurants to turn into the kinds of bug-eyed freaks who are like NO NO precious you CAN'T EAT THAT because you DON'T KNOW WHAT'S IN IT, I'll order you some steamed vegetables and then maybe when we get home you can have some seitan and gluten-free wafers

most people do not want that for themselves and their kids, but if you are going to put ten billion calories in innocuous bowls of pasta you are really not leaving people a whole lot of choice

otoh i really like seitan irl too. tofu never saw it coming.

so like basically it erodes our comforting human assumption that we can chillax and not be psycho and let our children eat at restaurants without their having coronaries at age 12, which assumption I actually consider pretty vital to American quality of life, is what I'm saying

or this pivotal knowledge could usher in a new era of ice cream for dinner - the healthy choice!

there was a poorly-conceived article in my local paper recently about "the children's menu" and kids ordering out that did make a couple of ok points. essentially it seems like you should encourage your kids to order sensible shit off the real menu (lol coming from me who was THE pickiest eater as a child). like in addition to the amount of fat and calories in that pasta it provides nothing in the way of positive nutrition--where are the vegetables??

This restaurant sells the most unhealthy fries I've ever had, and I highly recommend stopping in for some if you're in the neighborhood.

I don't think this person should get print time in national web media for saying that giant sacks of fries or fries with bacon, chili, and/or cheese on them contain more fat and calories than a small order of McDonald's fries. And according to the by-line, David Zinczenko needed help with this article, which does not exactly fill me with confidence that he is someone who knows anything about anything.

I suppose the Curly Fries Revelation is interesting.

Oh I don't think the article is incisive or surprising, really, I just think the descriptions of the various items and their calorie/fat contents are pretty amazing.

I mean:

Chili’s Texas Cheese Fries w/Jalapeno Ranch
1,920 calories
147 g fat (63 g saturated)
3,580 mg sodium

I bet they taste amazing :(

I would not bet too much that anything involving "Jalepeno Ranch" tasted amazing.

GIS results for "Jalepeno Ranch" are not as awesome as I was hoping they'd be.

oh man, not curly fries ;_;

chili's is the best & most american restaurant in the country

you guys ... this is like a fried grilled cheese sandwich with mozzarella sticks in it

It's like something Elvis would come up with and then he'd say "nah, that's stupid".

It looks pretty awesome though. And only $4! Food really is cheap in the US. That would cost £20+ in the UK.

Of course then it would be covered in batter and then deep fried again.

That will be IHOP's response to this sandwich.

Food was always meticulously presented.

If only Sandra Lee had been on TV in 1974.

In all my years of photo trolling, that might be the most disgusting thing I've ever seen.

Lookit the onions and green beans swimming in a pool of grease!

"6 servings"

YES!.

^^^ real Sandra Lee cuisine

Needs tequila...

(because lately SL has been putting tequila in everything, for those not following the Sandra Lee thread)
