New fast food discussion/review thread

OK OOT, it's been a while since we had a devoted fast food thread around here and I think it's time we had a new one.

Blue stacks is free... (But I never used it for food... lol)


Dam! I don't have a smartphone because I can't use touchscreens. It would be cool to do app stuff, like sign up for Telegram.


The Arby's app has 5 free items with a $10 purchase: Fries, Mozz sticks, shake, classic RB and French Dip.

But they screwed up the implementation and allow the free item to count towards the $10. So if you get the French Dip for $7.50, you just need to buy a drink or turnover to hit the $10 and then just owe for this 2nd item and get the French Dip for free.

I'll bite. (Pun Intended)

Why can't you use a touchscreen?


That Whopper flight sounds interesting. I had the BK app open yesterday and didn't see that. I'll have to look again after breakfast hours are over. Of the 3 the maple bourbon was the one I was probably going to end up skipping. Just a slight variation of a Western burger you can get in a lot of places. The WBC is one of my favorites but I'd have liked to seen something a little more original chosen as a finalist.


Saw a billboard in Phx metro area that claimed Carl has got $1.99 Western Wednesdays, which I thought was probably a decent enough deal to report here.

I have electrical issues like Jamie Foxx in that Spiderman movie. My finger will click a button without even touching the screen, or sometimes will not register a click not matter how long or hard I press on the screen. I've been shocked many times with wall current, all I feel is a tingle. My lab partner shot 20k volts through me during an experiment.

I saw that too! Not in Phx, elsewhere in AZ.

Forgot to post it here. Fail.

Why is that? Is it not food safe?

Perfectly safe. I just have no use case for loading fast food apps on it.

Ya that would have been my thought too going in: "I know what BBQ sauce + fried onions is going to taste like"; and, I agree, it is the least-unique of the 3 options. That said it did turn out being by-far my favorite of the 3, and the only one I'd consider buying again (the crispy jalapenos really were pretty tasty); that said, it was very sweet sauce and I imagine that would turn off some folks.


Intrigued by the LTO Salted Caramel Frosty from the Red Head. Anyone have a review? Their peppermint Frosty was overly (IMO) peppermint, which is weird, because their chocolate Frosty is only vaguely chocolate. Hoping the SC Frosty is a bit more balanced.


I saw that during football yesterday. For whatever reason I wasn't that intrigued - I love caramel as a ice cream topping, but I'm not that excited as a milkshake/frosty flavor. Would love to hear I'm wrong though.



Loaded tiny birria tacos and tiny birria tacos for lunch today.

Overall very little birria flavor and meat. Not really surprising for the price I guess. Given how little meat though the loaded works better as it's almost nachos given how crisp the shells are.

Birria buttermilk ranch sucked and while jitb taco sauce is no fire sauce it works well on their tacos.

Loaded 3.5/5, unloaded 2.75/5.

Only reason i got both is I couldn't pull the trigger on an $8 pre-tax cluck sandwich.

Variance: app order was hot and ready when I got there.

Is the Cluck any good?

Those loaded mini-tacos look like a regular taco turned inside out. Way too messy for me, I get the bare mini-tacos and a crapload of sauce packets.

I applaud your decision to not become a supervillain.

The cluck is pretty solid, just too expensive. Need a deal.

The loaded minis I ate with a fork.

It's really of no benefit, other than I didn't get electrocuted when I should have. I can't shoot lightning out of my fingers unfortunately. It's a big pain right now because my employer is requiring me to get a smartphone because they want to do push notifications. I'm not sure they can legally require that since I can't easily use it. I told them I would sic the ADA on them, lol. I can try a stylus, but hopefully an android emulator will work.
