rolling new food laboratory inventions for american chain restaurants thread

there's more than one way.... (cut to someone doubled over a toilet, retching) ... to eat a Reese's.

probably should have posted that to the strongo nuevo thread really

That actually sounds good to me. I'm going to try to play the home game. It'll have to wait until some day when my wife's not around though. That just wouldn't fly with her.

are you sure you shouldn't have someone around just for safety

squirting molten pbc, insulin-shock cardiac event, etc.

that is a really really bad idea!

holy shit, the works is a chain now? when i lived in ottawa i think there were only 2 locations, both in ottawa!

i am probably going back home for a couple of days next week... kinda tempted to try this, but because it sounds good in any way, but because ilx demands it

not* because

The Modern Day Burger? Is it some kind of commentary on life being crushed between walls of concrete?

oh is that a colonel sanders there? is it supposed to be some kind of chicken pizza?

it's a pizza where the pizza base is made of chicken fillet, obviously

oh a CHICKEN pizza

the text on the big sign says

chicken under pizza--
birth of chizza!

sorry thomp... but that's been posted in this thread before

haha they're new here, i didn't think to check. guess it's not the birth of chizza after all huh

kinda weird how the american food lab concepts make this weird circuit of asian nations, one wonders how much it is purely based on local decisions or whether someone in kfc food lab head office is going 'you know what, i hear in the phillipines they like chicken ... and pizza ...'

Extra Dirty Second Wife

Alright, now I want to tempt diabetes and try a Dirty Dr. Pepper.

I could have sworn that Mormons were against caffeine, but I guess the church clarified it's just against coffee and tea. An economically prudent piece of religious law, it seems.

throwing more sugar into soda is really something

Are those sodas caffeinated?

Speaking as someone who has to deal with Cokes in the brown cans when I raid a certain relative's fridge, yes, LDS members eschew caffeine in all its evil forms.

I think so? It doesn't have any mention in the article about the weirdness of them serving mostly non-caffeinated stuff, which you would think relevant.

these kids and their liberal reading of scripture, I tell ya

not my place to play 'no true scotsman' with mormon doctrine, do whatever you want, fine people of the latter days

Looks like you're right. Lot of Code Red on here: http://www.sodaliciousutah.com/

But they are closed on Sundays.

bless

lol @ one of the popular drinks being called "2nd Wife"

Huh.

Finally, another small correction: Despite what was reported, the Church revelation spelling out health practices (Doctrine and Covenants 89) does not mention the use of caffeine. The Church’s health guidelines prohibit alcoholic drinks, smoking or chewing of tobacco, and “hot drinks” — taught by Church leaders to refer specifically to tea and coffee. *

So Sleepy Time Tea is worse than Code Red Maximum Extreme Dew.

prescription non-hot drink sleepytime pills are ok, iirc

Wonder if caffeine pills would be OK.

I think I just coined the term "veblen foods" in a conversation with a friend

going to start a truck that sells $8 tacos

smoking or chewing of tobacco

snuff is okay then?

...if it doesn’t serve as a pipeline of new menu ideas, it’s difficult to see why McDonald’s would operate this concept. But there are plenty of non-traditional items on The Corner’s extensive new menu that would make distinctive McCafé additions.

Beverages include not only coffee (hot and iced), tea, hot chocolate, chai and tea (hot and iced) but also craft sodas ($5) [Note: all prices quoted here are in Australian dollars; currently 1 AUD = .71 USD] in flavors such as Lemon, Lime & Bitters and Cucumber & Mint. McCafé standards—milkshakes and smoothies—round out the beverages.

New savory breakfast foods on the menu include Cheesy Scrambled Eggs & Crispy Bacon Roll ($8) and those same Cheesy Scrambled Eggs on Toast with Bacon, Spinach & Tomato ($10). A new addition to the sweet breakfast options is Brioche Cinnamon Toast ($5). Open Toasts—open-faced sandwiches—are offered for both breakfast and lunch. Among the morning versions is Avocado, Tomato & Ricotta ($8). A new lunch option is the Basil Chicken with Bruschetta Tomato & Parmesan ($8).
