That doesnt even look like pizza, it looks like some gross focaccia with cheese in it.

Of course it doesn't look like a pizza. It looks like a burger, tastes like a pizza.

In addition to being a cult favorite, the McRib is the best-known iteration of what the world of quick-service food calls limited-time offers, or LTOs. LTOs are those occasionally wacky, promotional inventions that appear on the menus of fast-food chains and drift off in the wind like sodium-dusted dandelion fluff, often never to be seen again. From Sonic’s Ragin’ Cajun Burgers and Wendy’s Ghost Pepper Fries to McDonald’s Shamrock Shakes and Burger King’s Bacon Sundaes, the creation of LTOs is part art and part science. In general their aim is to stoke excitement for a brand and entice customers to make an extra visit without resorting to discounts or cannibalizing their ordinary regimens. “For us, our bestsellers are not our LTOs,” Ben Miller, who heads up “social insights” at Taco Bell, told me at the company’s Irvine, California, headquarters earlier this year. “It’s the taco, the burrito, and the bean burrito.”Of course, if lightning strikes as it did with the Doritos Locos Taco—which sold 100 million units in its first 10 weeks back in 2012—an LTO can graduate from flavor of the week to main squeeze. Still, that’s hardly the norm. LTOs aren’t necessarily meant as a testing ground for full-time menu items; they’re meant to grab attention. “It’s getting people in the door. It’s not just about the share of stomach anymore—there’s so much more now. It’s about share of attention almost—you have to be relevant in some many different ways, or else,” Miller added.

this article is great: http://www.eater.com/2016/7/13/12160720/fancy-food-show-summer-2016
my favorite takeaways: the concept of "dessert hummus," and this paragraph:
The charitable branding of Doctor Pickle, on the other hand, remains beyond my understanding. CEO Harold Pitts is too muscular for his white coat; with his gelled grey hair, he looks like a late-career porn star doing a hospital scene. "Hey little boy," he calls to me, "Try my pickle!" I ask Pitts about the sign on his display that promises a share of the proceeds for child victims of 9/11. "We got into quite a pickle on 9/11," he says. Later I find out that Pitts was a fireman and first-responder at the towers before he turned to pickling full-time. His "Pickle with a Purpose" endeavor aims to provide everyone who experienced childhood trauma on 9/11 with access to transcendental meditation. The pickles are pretty good.

I remember a long road trip with my brother where we put off lots of places to stop to find a wimpy. It was not as good as we remembered. When/where we were kids it was the place for kids parties.
