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.

Taco bell is great all the time actually, a national treasure

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.

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.

that’s actually a nice local businessman/chef (not kidding, haven’t heard anything bad and most restaurant owners are shitheads!) and all the other restaurants in the group are totally normal, if not exemplars of their typesbut he thought it’d be fun to cash in on the omg bacon and zombies trend and I salute him

i mean sure, get that money but that shirt is a war crime and the burger is a crime against nature.
who did the bit about how incredibly depressing it is that every chicken nugget you see thrown to the street was an animal walking around, now reduced to useless waste? maybe rick and morty? in any case, that cow gave it's life for the worst reasons.

Fans of Sonic onion rings will know that they have a particular sweetness -- I found out yesterday it's because they soak the cut onions in their ice cream mix, or at least a variation on it, before breading.

that also explains their peculiarly oniony ice cream

that Curderburger thing was fucking huge here. we have 3 Culvers here (a town of about 55k) which open at 10 and apparently they all sold out by 10:30. wonder if they'd ban you for doing the sloppy steaks thing where you just order cheese curds and mash 'em on top
