in all the food-industrial-complex innovations showcased in this thread i think we may be overlooking ~the human factor~, what if we could train people in this technique on a massive scale, maybe on a mooc of some sort, think of the efficiencies to be obtained

i think it'd be too difficult to eat. the sausages will roll around. it's not a good situation.

Nice pretzel bun - definitely a food laboratory trend. I remember fondly the Wendy's pretzel bacon cheeseburger I had a few months ago - the bun was one of the best parts of the burger imo.

Here you can see the sausages - a big disappointment compared to the ad
They're literally just breakfast links on two breakfast sausage patties (though they claim to be 'beef'), doused in sweet mustard (sandwich would have been improved by some sharper brassica)
The pretzel bun is also a bit behind the Wendy's iteration - not enough texture
I'd scarf the Chinese New Year ham-on-sausage burger from upthread over this any day

I sort of knew this was a fool's burger when I saw the ad

Also the Chinese name/tagline is 不素之霸 which roughly translates to "The lord/tyrant of being not-vegetarian"

Candy bowl lady at my job had Cherry M&M's today. They were kinda almost good - like a rough approximation of actual chocolate cherries.

back when i briefly drove a cab i took a bouncer, one of the largest men i've ever seen in my life, through the wendy's drive through. he ordered ten of these, along with six large orders of fries, and remarked on their quality.
"Don't worry, five are for breakfast tomorrow." he said, unprompted.
― Clay, Saturday, 22 February 2014 03:47 (ten years ago) link
I actually think the real version looks better. It makes more sense now that I know they're breakfast sausages. Would eat.

Amazing story Clay
5 burger to 3 frybox ratio seems out of whack. As a fry man I'd go for a 1 burger to 2 frybox ratio myself
― 龜, Saturday, 22 February 2014 03:50 (ten years ago) link
I'd have an infinity ratio when it comes to Wendy's fries.

i kept meaning to start a 77 thread for cab driving stories but i only ended up doing it like september and half of october before i got a better job where the chances of getting stabbed were significantly lower. (it's at a law office so the likelihood is probably not 0% but much closer than driving weirdos around a weird city.)

"Taco Bell's plans are to do breakfast with mostly portable items that its Millennial base can hold in one hand and cellphones in the other."
"'We don't use buns or burgers or circular things at breakfast — that's not who we are."
otm, circular things have no place at breakfast!!

i am ok with this taco bell invention in theory. but i'd prefer that they use their lab time to invent new ways of combining ground beef, nacho cheese, and frito-lay products.
