New fast food discussion/review thread - Page 1008 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

See my HF thread. I don't see this as a sustainable long term diet, just a starting off point and then incorporate veggie/fruit juice from now on while eating actual food.

Taco Bell shredded chicken burrito is great...but are you saying they grill that sumbitch? That's news to me.

They have the XXL grilled chicken burrito. It's over 5 bucks.

Same with Mexican. When I was a kid my family used to go fishing in Mexico a lot. We drove through a couple hundred miles of Mexico towing our boat, so we would stop in ordinary Mexican towns and go into ordinary Mexican restaurants, a long ways from any tourist traps. It was friggin' awful. It gives me a chuckle when I see restaurants touting their "authentic" Mexican food.

My Costco has indoor food court but you can go in the exit door to get to the membership thing and food court and they aren't checking cards

If you are book-oriented like me, try Andrew Coe's Chop Suey; A Cultural History of Chinese Food in the United States.

Malucci,

Are your binges a rare thing or do you consume a lot daily? If you regularly eat a lot, how do you quell the raging appetite in your brain with the juice diet?

That's different from the shredded chicken burrito. I could get 3 shredded chicken burritos for less than $5 I believe, or its close. Way better value. I haven't had a XXL grilled chicken burrito I don't believe, unless it's the same as a grilled stuft burrito. I haven't had one of those in ages, but I feel like they aren't that great.

I consume more than a normal person unless I'm really watching myself. Anytime I go fast food though, I go too hard. It's a sickness.

I feel really good on the juice diet now, but I am experiencing crippling hunger. I had a dream last night I was eating tortilla chips and I was so upset with myself for eating until I ultimately decided that dream chips don't count.

Anyone who doesn't know Malucci is a fat POS obviously doesn't read enough of the forums...

Malucci making me feel less of a disgusting slob. I think I'll eat a whole pizza and not feel bad now.

Had to join the Mexican Pizza party.

Surprisingly impressive. Not a "slop in a box" scenario.

Maybe its a Taco Bell day. I have such a deep love for hamburgers that I don't often make it to TB. Still not going to have my first ever Mexican pizza.

Still looks bad to me. Mexican Pizza people remain in the "those people" crowd

I have lived in Chinatowns most of my life. I can't eat what you guys call Chinese food for the most part. A couple pages here and there but I basically never eat Chinese when outside a Chinatown.

Taco pizza is hard corn shell some kind of taco sauce cheese and tomatoes? Is that it?

Just had bacon club box, no lettuce on burrito supreme, sub soft taco for crunchy, Mt. Dew, add cheesy bean and rice burrito,and shredded chicken mini quesadilla. All that for $7.57.

After shoving that all up my ass, I wish I would have had Carl's instead.
