    I used to walk past a Carls Jr on my way to work

    occasionally I'd stop there for breakfast and their sourdough breakfast sandwich is still the best fast food breakfast I've ever eaten

    Speaking of McDoubles from earlier, I remember I was so pissed when the $1 McDouble reduced from having 2 patties and 2 pieces of cheese to 2 patties and 1 piece of cheese, and then they re-introduced the Double Cheeseburger to the menu at $1.29 which was the 2 patties and 2 pieces of cheese.

    Now I think a McDouble is $1.29 and a Double Cheeseburger is $2. Fucking travesty.

    Like, let's get real here.

    There have been days where I have eaten two double cheesburgers a quarter pounder with cheese and large fries as a single meal, because I am an awful shitperson, it wasn't hard, so I can't really imagine 10 regular cheeseburgers being significantly harder if I had the entire day to work on them.

    There was a time when I was a landscaper that my average lunch was a double bacon cheeseburger from Wendy's with a large Frosty, large fries, chili, and a baked potato, washed down with a large Coke.

    Of course, that was when I was either walking 5+ miles a day with a weed eater in my hands or a leaf blower on my back, so I needed every calorie I could get.

    While the specific gene has been identified which makes cilantro taste super bitter, I am pretty firm in my belief that people just taste things differently.

    You can train yourself to define, understand and appreciate flavours like food critics do, but even they will have things they "just don't like"

    I don't like black pepper. I have an immediate, visceral reaction to it. It is overpowering and rank to me and if I can taste black pepper at all, it will be the only thing I can taste, and I will send something back because of it.

    I got chicken selects ONE time when I went to McDonalds, because this was during that Monopoly sticker month and for some reason, two stickers were being offered on the Selects, but not a 10 pack of nuggets.

    One would think, being breaded chicken, the strips would taste like nuggets. Nope! They taste surprisingly different, and not in a good way.

    I can understand not listing the low margin meals on the drive thru menu, but I don't understand not offering them at all.

    I actually like the crispy chicken and bacon ranch wrap, and if I couldn't get it in the drive through I would probably just refuse to order anything and go somewhere else.

    I'm pretty sure they're not saying you can't order something at the drive-thru, they're just simplifying the menus to the most commonly-ordered items because people are fucking god damned idiots and if you give them too many things to read at once they're going to hold up the line because, "OH HOLD ON A SECOND GUYS I'VE BEEN SITTING HERE FOR 5 MINUTES AND JUST STARTED TO THINK ABOUT WHAT I WANT LOL"

    Or am I reading it wrong?

    Who wants a heartwarming moment in this thread?

    Me! Me! I do!

    SEE IT: Kentucky fast food worker secretly filmed helping customer with disabilities
    A Kentucky fast food employee served up a side of kindness when he hand-fed a customer with physical disabilities.

    Qdoba Mexican Grill employee Ridge Quarles was secretly filmed feeding the customer at the Louisville eatery after she asked for help, Wave3 reported Monday.

    Quarles said the woman was a regular customer but he never learned her name.

    "She didn't get out of her house very often, but whenever she did, she always told me, 'Ridge, this is my most favorite place to eat," Quarles told Wave3.

    The woman usually arrived by bus and got stuck waiting in the parking lot until someone could let her in, said Quarles, who worked at Qdoba for five years.

    A few weeks ago, Quarles said he helped the woman with her usual lunch order — a taco salad with hot sauce and cheese — and wanted to make sure she had everything she needed.

    "She turned around and was like, 'Sir, if you don't mind could you help me eat?'" Quarles said.

    Quarles put on gloves and began spooning the salad into her mouth.


    Another customer, David Jones, said he started filming so he could show his friends "there's still some good people in the world.”

    Quarles said he barely thought about the act.

    "She needs help and if I wasn't going to do it, no one was," he said.


    He's since been praised by media around the country, including Today.com and NBC News.

    Quarles left Qdoba in April to become a client coordinator at a web design company, according to his Facebook.

    But his former manager said his actions were part of the restaurant's philosophy.

    "It's just not about making people's food," Qdoba manager Jim Schroeder said. "It's about what kind of positive impact can I have on somebody else's day."

    They share superficial similarities, in that they are both meats/liquids, but they are trying to do two different things

    A major component of clove taste is imparted by the chemical eugenol,[3] and the quantity of the spice required is typically small. It pairs well with cinnamon, allspice, vanilla, red wine and basil, as well as onion, citrus peel, star anise, or peppercorns.

    From the wiki. Maybe he did it on purpose? Some people love the things.

    Sandwiches from a place called California Sandwiches. Is that a "style" that I've just never heard about? Is there a way to make a sandwich California style?

    Hey, I was born in California, and I had no idea California had a particular sandwich style.

    From what I gather around here (Kansas), a "California style" sandwich means it has avocado on it. Except at Freddy's, where "California style" means "almost In-N-Out, but not quite".
