rolling new food laboratory inventions for american chain restaurants thread

the fancy lettuce on it made me feel guiltier about taking the lettuce and tomato off and throwing it back in the bag.

dude!

whats up?

the price of vegetables

i don't care if it's mesclun. years of picking off iceberg stumps and peruvian midwinter tomatoes have trained me: pop the top and discard all excess vegetables.

Somehow that makes me want to be a vegetarian even harder.

if i was just veggie for ethical reasons i would totally eat in vitro meat

B-b-but the cow didn't consent to having her stem cells harvested!

But a good hamburger is not 100% lean. Do they have a plan to grow in-vitro fat to get that good 80/20 mix?

so far, american fast food restaurants seem resistant to the idea of multiple animals represented on a hamburger. i think. right? at least a chicken burger slammed onto the top of a hamburger would seem bizarre.

i've heard there are mcdonalds where you can straight up order a mcgangbang and they'll make it for you

but the making of it seems like a pleasure which you wouldn't want to deprive yourself of

pork accents, ok; full pork representation alongside beef or chicken, no go

Look at the garlic slices on that thing. Jesus.

staring slackly at this like it's an indecent gif in the nsfw thread

one of my fave tortas is one with ham, chicken and beef on it. mmmm.

i hate that this is generating discussion of whether or not a waffle taco is a good idea in general. waffle sandwiches of any kind are undeniable, like at lucky j's in austin or at my house, but of course taco bell are going to make a terrible version of it.

I deny waffle sandwiches.

Thrice!

do they make it so it holds that shape??

(please let the answer be yes, a thousand tiems yes)

gross. Aren't waffles sweet?

have you ever had a waffle

okay. because it actually looks edible in the promotional materials.

I've been in Beijing for 24 hours and seen the poster for that (with the cool dude in the half-white, half-black outfit) in probably twenty separate locations.

Your mission is clear.

Went for the green rice-wrap burrito object instead. Not bad!

I had that too and thought it was awful

i just walked by a mcdonalds and thought about this thread and my obligations to the ilx community but decided on something else because it's a black hamburger.

i think reading burgerbusiness is making me jaded

Like Tina Turner singing “Proud Mary,” Slater’s 50/50 never does anything nice and easy. It does over the top. Consider that its namesake burger patty is 50% ground beef, 50% ground bacon. So when the six-location, Anaheim Hills, Calif.-based chain decides to do breakfast, you know it’s going to be—like Tina’s rendition—nice and rough.

Pro Yelping.

the pizza burger has been out in canada for a while. it's kind of like a betty crocker cookbook or home ec recipe type of thing. the burger is like steamed meatloaf. it's not bad.

this is an interesting concept but i think sandwiching more toppings between burger layers would improve it immeasurably.

does that say 'the flavor's got nowhere to hide'??

it should. but it just says: LAYERS OF FLAVOR / JUICY, TENDER AND DELICIOUS.

Beef up, stupid!

burger king fryburger is available here.
i have been eating too much burger king this week, cuz it's cheap and close to Issue Project Room. i get two double cheeseburgers & a spicy chicken crip, it is under $5 and filling. then i go down the street and drink abt a gallon of water.
