McRib

So go start a thread about your favorite farmers market? This is a thread about garbage food that's only occasionally available, and the folks who appreciate garbage food can share their experiences.

If that ain't you, why post here? I don't post in the NFL thread about why I don't watch football.

I think I have started a few yummy food threads. I dunno. I’m old and overwhelmed by the infotainment.

I had a Taco Bell thing that someone gave me recently. It was interesting.
Edit: In response to your question, I try to add content when I post. Like, food for thought.

I like Taco Bell, at least I used to.

For the longest time my breakfast was a bean burrito with green sauce and an Iced Tea. For whatever reason, after eleventy hundred years of carrying it, TB decided to stop carrying the green sauce. They have it in the packets, but it's not the same.

Oh well.

Yes, I know they're re-hydrated beans. Doesn't matter. There texture was part of the appeal to me. Routinely I don't care much for beans in burritos. But whatever they slather on to that thing from that reheated plastic bag, was good enough for me.

At one point years ago, they introduced the "Fire Sauce". They were serving it from the back, warm. You can still get it in pouches but, again, this was different. Slathered that stuff on everything.
 
TB still has green sauce. I order it on my quesadillas all the time :dunno
 
Asked at my local McD yesterday. They didn't have it. Not clear if they'd just run out or what but I didn't want to attempt to suss it out given the drive-through clerk's command (lack thereof) of the English language. Will try again this week.

Have you guys tried their guave & creme pies? My friends and I will swear it's better than Porto's.

Dude. Same. That was my jam every time I went to TB. I ended up boycotting TB in the aftermath. Almost made it a couple of months.

The nearest Taco Bell to me is doing this really annoying thing by copying InO and having a guy with an iPad taking orders where you can't see the menu. But wheras it makes sense at InO when the're 20 cars lined up before you get to the ordering station (and the menu is stupid simple), I've never seen more than 3-4 cars at this Taco Bell.

:wtf the self service tablets inside were a godsend for me and the app is even better. I basically custom make all my food. That would take literally 5 minutes verbally...

The app is dependent on you surrendering your personal privacy and I don't want google or amazon to know my shame from ordering the McRib

I thought eating a mcrib automatically precluded you from having shame?

That's not even what I'm talking about There's a guy, with an iPad, at the drive-thru line, taking verbal orders and putting them into the iPad...

It is though. Taco Bell let's you put every ingredient in the store on any item. In n out literally has 4 items. That's why it works for them and would be a nightmare at taco bell. I feel you.

Ye Gods though. 1st Rule of ordering from Food Service is never order off menu unless it is a top star place with serious service investments or you want uninvited butt in your food.

Well, In-N-Out has a not so secret menu society, and they welcome those off menu orders. I've never had a hint of butt in any of my food.

I’m still traumatized by that Waiting movie so I try not to be a pain-in-the-ass to food service workers. Like I hate tomatoes but I never bother saying “no tomatoes” and just scrape it off.

There's absolutely a lot of truth to what "Waiting" portrays. People should honestly take that seriously...

For the most part, it’s a load of bullshit. Back of house has an unspoken rule of not fucking with peoples food. You just don’t do it. Also, if you find front of house doing it… instant term. You get blackballed (for this) at a named restaurant, you never work again. Career ender.

Applebees and Chilis and the like, might be a different story.

Now, as a guest if you piss people off… things start slowing down and you have a miserable meal. At that point, staff has given up on satisfying you, they just want you gone.

Well, I like my burgers with no sauce. Should I just scrape the sauce off instead?

BTW just had the best double quarter pounds ever. Meat was so hot it burned my mouth.
 
I doubt teenagers are stressing about losing their burger flipping gigs.
In my hood right now your resume could state you’re a prolific mass murderer and restaurants would still fight over and beg you to accept a table server or kitchen worker gig.
