Not chain restaurant oriented, but Laura Shapiro's book Something From The Oven may be interesting to thread-readers - a history of the development and especially the marketing and adoption of postwar frozen/powdered/otherwise "convenience" foods.

I may never visit a KFC again (here or China), but something like the Dragon Twister (fried chicken strips, cucumbers, scallions, and duck sauce in a pancake/crepe) seems to elevate the central ingredient, whereas adding Cheetos reduces the chicken and even bun to the level of fried extruded corn starch.

it ends up going in some other directions (history of julia child etc.) as it's really a history probing what average american woman were really cooking in the postwar decades, and what it meant to them, etc. i had to skim since i was there for specific reasons but it all looked really interesting!

xpost x'swhatever. I had another french taco last night. It was a special called Sun Cheese or something and had 4 cheeses and I selected a poulet pane and the harissa. The fries didn't bother me so much in this one. My partner got fish and chips. Both amazing. I think it's better than burgers and regular burritos.

As such, that means nine items are coming off the menu permanently including two Doritos Locos Tacos flavors: Cool Ranch and Fiery Doritos, which have been around since 2013. The other items going away include the Double Decker Taco, Beefy Mini Quesadilla, chips & salsa, Chipotle Chicken Loaded Griller, Double Tostada, Power Menu Burrito and the XXL Grilled Stuft Burrito.

Taco Bell teases me with more premium plant-based options (the Cantina burrito/bowl or its relabeled veggie Power Menu bowl/burrito) and then withdrawing them. I'm not going out of my way for the only remaining option, bean burritos "al fresco", unless forced on a road trip.

For example, the 3 Crunchy Taco Supreme Combo, formerly No. 3 on the menu, is now No. 1.

i worked at one in high school, the chips (which i'm sure have been gourmet-ified since then) were never EVER ordered as sides, they just got hot in the hot thing, the real purpose of which was to keep chips for use in nachos ready
still, though

Under her leadership since July 2018, the team at PepsiCo has developed viral sensations including the Cheetos Chicken Sandwich at KFC (a fried chicken sandwich dipped in a Cheetos sauce that was met with rave reviews) and Cheetos Popcorn at Regal Cinema (a cheese-dusted popcorn with some Cheetos mixed in for extra crunch, that is now a permanent mainstay on their menu). When we last spoke, she hinted at developing a series of new concepts involving Frito-Lay (which is owned by PepsiCo) for Little Caesars, one of which could make it to market as soon as next year.
