Me either, but the magic happens when you add the mashed potatoes to the mix. It's a case of the sum being much greater than the parts.

Try it, you'll like it.

True, and if you do the sausage burrito you get basically two crunchwraps in one burrito.

People not being bowled over itt. Not sure I've ever actually tried one myself and probably won't.

Saw a healthy sandwich line yesterday at my Popeye's that's always been semi-deserted on weekday afternoons, people are weird. I was gonna get the 1.29 2-piece Tuesday special too, oh well.

Damn, $1.29? Does that include a biscuit? Guarantee that would be advertised at $4.49 in Seattle

Yeah, I was confused. Didn't know if it was a genuine "bone apple tea" moment or not.

Yeah Rococo, it's not really our burden that you are averse to trying new foods combos.

The next time you see something you don't understand, try having an open mind.

The DQ crispy chicken sandwich (the one in their 5 or 6 dollar lunch deal) is indeed horrible, worse than a McChicken.

The spicy chicken at Wendy's has fallen off a cliff in recent years, I disagree with it's placement being so high. McDonald's buttermilk crispy chicken I think is good and tastes a little lemony. BK's used to be good but the last couple I've had were bad.

Most of this was consumed before this year fwiw (I did have a Wendy's spicy this month to see if they'd improved but alas, no). Carl's $1 spicy chicken needed to be included, best value sandwich in the game.

Carl's jalapeno double cheeseburger is prbly my fave ff burger ever. Chalupas are the only superior ff item.

A couple of times in the last few months I've swung by and grabbed a single jalapeno double and it was so damn good. McDonald's ****ed up not keeping their version with the fried jalapenos.

Oh damn, they didn't even include a JITB item. Lost a battle in the FF wars on that one.

JITB spicy should've been on the list. It's been better than Wendy's for a while.

This is Windy City Beefs and Pizza in Vegas, menu is very similar to Portillos.

So this time I got a Chargrilled Jumbo Vienna beef dog and it was great in every way. And I got an Italian beef sandwich w cheese peppers and giardiniera dry with a cup of gravy on the side for dipping and I enjoyed it much more than the dipped one from last week. Everything was much better.

Was italian beef even in EL D's sandwich comp?

Everybody loves it.

Definitely more than some bahn mi.

Italian beef with cheese, gravy, giardinara is better than a cheese steak. imo

IMO the best bahn mi beats the best italian, but the average italian beats the average bahn mi.

The cheese was strong in the sandwich, really added to it.

I tried the new McDonald's chicken mcgriddle breakfast sandwich, thinking I like chicken and waffles so maybe it'd be good, but it was super lame. McD's chicken sucks, I won't be ordering any chicken from them again anytime soon.

Saved breakfast with a sausage + cheese biscuit though!

I just got an extramostbestest stuffed crust pepperoni from Little Caesars. I'm most certainly a PizzaPleb, but that was the best pepperoni pizza I've had in a very long time.

Carl's has a chorizo and eggs burrito again, and I never knew they had tater tots. Ima have to try that because the local Carl's is much closer to me than BK.

My wife made this for dinner tonight. Fantastic! And I got leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
