Taco Bell “beef”
Vegetarian isn't just a trend for Taco Bell. The brand has had meatless menu items like the bean burrito for many yearslol

Was vegetarian for many years and TB was absolutely the best of the big fast food chains because you can sub beans on everything, which tastes better than the beef anyway

I wonder how much of the vegetarian market they actually have already captured, long term?

Quorn is just okay, tho-- I am not a vegetarian currently, but having been a vegan for a few years and worked in a natural foods grocery for a while, the idea of fungus based food is really good...it's just that it isn't being done particularly well at present, partly because so many of the products are centered around making something 'like meat.' Veggie products should quit that imitation meat strategy and just make things that taste good...

As a confirmed lifelong Pizza Hut hater who is also a sucker for a good American chain restaurant food laboratory invention, I have to say the new Detroit-style is....not bad.

i keep getting ads for the digiorno pizza with a croissant crust and goddamn if don't want to try it
― na (NA), Friday, 29 January 2021 21:41 (three years ago) link
we tried it, it was not much to write home about tbh. :( like it just seemed like a regular crust but maybe more buttery. if there's a great version of it, it might be much more sensitive to oven temperature/cook time than the trusty basic frozen pizza crust. anyway it was not worth the price bump over digiorno's basic offering.

I used to eat a ton of Quorn when I was a vegetarian. I tried it again recently and it was much worse than I remembered.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Saturday, 30 January 2021 02:40 (three years ago) link
Yeah, most of the veggie or fungus based 'alternative meat' products are only 'good' to vegetarians because they've either never had the real thing or have forgotten what the real thing tastes like.
And I say that as someone who eats vegetarian about 70% of my meals.

Chicken is growing faster than beef, making it more attractive to fast-food chains.
the phrasing of this sentence makes it sound like something has gone horribly awry

New Taco Bell Concept Coming to Minnesota

Above the vehicles is the Taco Bell kitchen, and orders would be seemingly dropped down to waiting drivers via a dumbwaiter system...
I mean, won't be the first time I've had to make a deposit after pulling through Taco Bell...

I tried it for the first time at a young relative's birthday party a few years ago. I went back once more and tried the other menu item, the hard shell. That's enough.

The only acceptable time to eat Taco Bell is when one is very drunk. In 2015, when we were winter caretakers at the hobo museum, some friends had abandoned an old Volvo wagon on the property, and my partner got it working just enough to tool around in the small nearby town, but it was....scary.
Anyway, he was incredibly drunk, we were both incredibly drunk, and everyone on the property was incredibly drunk because we'd been partying for most of the day. But there was a 24-hr Taco Bell at the end of the .75 mile dirt road that led to the property. So he drove it through the drive-thru and purchased $50 worth of bean and cheese burritos and a few other things. In the meantime, one of the local cops pulled up behind us...
And that was the last evening that the Volvo drove! Taco Bell killed it.

there was a period of about six years between age 16 and 21 where I ate taco bell multiple times a week but i'm pretty sure it's been a few decades since i last partook.

When I was in high school it was not uncommon for groups of my friends to drive 100 miles just to go to the nearest taco bell.
It's not objectively good but I still have a soft spot for it and would still absolutely choose it over the usual suite of US fast food options.
― joygoat, Saturday, 19 June 2021 15:07 (two years ago) link
taco bell is drunk food only for me, ie midnight/2am tail end of all-day drinking epic slopfest. it soaks up the booze well. or has, the handful of times i have been in that situationi cannot eat it sober. it’s gross.

have we discussed the current offerings at TGI Friday's? the front of their "Under the Big Top" themed menu is promoting such things as:Famous Whiskey-Glazed Skewer: three sliders and six wings, on a stickWhiskey-Glazed Donut Burger: cheeseburger with onions, bacon and pickles, "served on sweet, soft glazed donuts"Flaming Donut Chicken Sandwich: same concept but with fried chicken in hot sauce plus jalapeños and Ranch. keeping the bacon too.and the piece de resistance:the Ooey Gooey Mozz Stick Melter: "Our famous Mozzarella Sticks, marinara & melted blend of 3 cheeses between two artisan slices of buttery bread. Skewered with two Mozzarella sticks." you read that right: it's a three-cheese grilled cheese, plus it has mozzarella sticks inside it, and two more mozzarella sticks jammed on the top with a skewer. quarantine must have been tough on the food laboratory technicians.

The CurderBurger will be released for one day only, National Cheese Curd Day on October 15. Locations nationwide will have "a limited supply" of the burgers, according to the custard-slinging restaurant's announcement.Culver's is describing the concoction as a ButterBurger "topped with a crown of golden fried cheese." Often, "crown" in culinary speak means a little on the top. Here, heavy is the head that wears the crown. That's no small amount of cheese on top. The big cheese curd topping is made with Culver's traditional blend of yellow and white cheddar, encased in seasoned bread crumbs.
