I couldn't believe this post but apparently they're trying this out in Pittsburgh. The fact that the post had nothing to do with spice/heat is proof enough that the very idea is a poor fit for fast food.

It was moderately spicy, more so than chick fil a spicy chicken but not by much.

Taste was ok (on the strips at least) but the breading issue made the chicken almost inedible so I didn't care about the spice anymore.

I never eat in those places though. It's only about a 5 minute drive home, and that's where I got angry at the fries and threw 3/4 of them out.

mullen?

it's also raining/light hurricane weather, which im not sure will affect my decision to go and actually try to camp out.

Man it's so cold and ****ty out, even at the $350 value or whatever that is I'd be hard pressed to do it. Plus I imagine the lines are going to be INSANE for months there. And I love CFA

When I go to tacobell.com now, I get a detailed menu for my nearest TB complete with prices. Also they list all the add-ons/substitutions and prices, pretty freaking sweet. You can order online too.

Taco Bell's new site also snagged the most elite domain: ta.co

Can someone explain the order online option at a place like Taco Bell? Do you have to go in to get it, because I can't imagine them having a separate drive through for picking up online orders. Do they have some way you can skip to the front of the line inside?

Looks like you can get onions on anything for free. Most non-meat stuff costs 30 cents more.

And yeah it probably saves a minute or two at most if you're just getting food for yourself. If you app-ordered for a car full of people you'd save a lot more time

Fresh and fantastic are words that never come to mind when referring to White Castle..

I'm drunk and it's open would be more appropriate.

I had White Castle earlier this week myself. So good! I just wish they were still 15 cents, not 80.

Just had the Wendys pulled pork sandwich and pulled pork cheese fries. Combo with small drink was $9.

The sandwich was pretty lame, not nearly enough meat, so kind of like a Cole slaw sandwich with a little pork.

However, the fries were pretty good, and I would definitely get them again to go with something else.

Damn those poutine pics make me want some Harveys now, Canadians know what im talking about.. I would stab someone for their fries with gravy and some vinegar right now, burgers were fresh and bomb too from what i remember eh.

Thinking back now Harveys was pretty elite when compared to other FF options imo..
