/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I hadn't been to Taco Bell my entire life. Been there three times now in five days. Thanks /ck/ shills.

I've been to taco bell once.
>expensive
>small portions
>literally nothing special, could be made by a chil from typical ingredients found around the house
What the hell is the appeal?
I need to pay extra for "fully loaded" fries where I get a teaspoon worth of sour cream and salsa for the childrens portion fries

>>14429649
they're trying to make it so we can't afford it, the 7 layer has been around since 1993. it's older than me.
>>14429672
it's not expensive at all if you're not retarded, most of the lto are only $1, and you can get the $1 burritos grilled to make them into $2 grillers.
it's appeal is that it's literal fast food and not real Mexican fast food, and it taste great when you're intoxicated

>>14429682
>it's not expensive at all if you're not retarded
>$1 something something on the menu
no such items on the local menu so you are wrong and retarded

>>14429637
Hire indians on h1b shit, that'll get rid of any talent.

>>14429682
>it taste great when you're intoxicated
people like you should be killed
if you enable shitty restaurants because everything else is closed when you waddle out from the bar, you are the problem
I bet you also watch shitty reality TV ironically, but watch it religiously regardless

>>14429637
Learn to cook, you fucking homo.
Fast food is the quickest way to death.

>>14429637
This all sounds like absolute slop parodies of beaner slop. I'd feel like a fucking extra in Idiocracy sitting down next to some slob downing a beefy frito burrito.

>>14429637
As standard, make a stand, a money laundering thing for some gangsters, rake in the cash.

>>14429695
What is "Beefy Fritos Burito, Nacho Crunch Double Stack Taco, Shredded Chicken Quesadilla, Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito, Spicy Potato Soft Taco, Cheesy Roll Up, Triple Layer Nacho, Spicy Loaded Nacho Taco"?

Oh thanks, Alex.

I'll take seething poor retards for $2000

>>14429749
Don't forget some chili cheese fritos under some chilie with cheese and habaneros you high falooting faggot.

>>14429637
>fuck this. im out.
No, you are not. We all know that you are too stupid to resist buying this type of food.. You will bitch like a little girl but you will be back, your type always comes back.

Amidst the confusion of sweeping menu changes Taco Bell accidentally removed soft tacos from the menu.

>>14429695
They literally have a dollar menu. I get about 1200 calories for 3$

love the fatty seethe when they can't feed their favorite addiction. get bent, fucko

>>14431217
The only thing that sucks is the spicy potato taco. That was one of my go tos

>>14429637
It's not even the reduced menu that bothers me
It's the fucking price of everything
I used to go to taco bell and get one of their numbered meals and an extra taco/burrito and spend less than $7, and now just the meal itself costs like $9
Why go to Taco Bell, when Bueno and Del Taco have objectively better food and for less?

>>14429703
I’m sure you’re a textbook example of self-control and a peak physical specimen.

>>14431227
>wahhh I dunno how to put cooked spicy potatoes into a tortilla at home

>>14431234
I do it was just much more convienent for someone else to do it for me. I'm not wasting my time at home frying potatoes

>>14431234
We're in a fast food thread. It's pretty much assumed home cooking is out of the fucking question

>>14429703
>leaving the house while the sun is up
Oof. You came to the wrong neighborhood, newfriend.

>>14429672
>taco bell
>expensive
What the fuck are you talking about? It's easily cheapest fast food chain at this point - at least for the next couple of weeks.

Grilled cheese burrito has superseded the rest.

>>14429747
Can I join the gang?

>>14429672
>Expensive
>Small portions
Huh?

are they getting rid of the breakfast potato burrito? that's the only thing I care about

>>14431875
Are potatoes actually edible in the morning? I only ever go late at night and they're always dry and disgusting.

They'll probably bring out Potato items 1-2 times a year and promote the fuck out of it and make a killing.

>>14429637
>shitty fast food chain decides to change their menu
>americans go on a massive spergout and it reaches national news
you CAN'T make this shit up

>>14429637
Double Decker taco is best item

>>14432884
It would be similar to if Heinz announced out of nowhere that they were going to stop making your precious beans.

>>14429637
>get rid of Beefy Fritos Burrito
Are you serious? That was the only thing on the menu their retarded nigger employees couldn't fuck up.

>>14431345
>hello kitty kikkoman sauce
Unbelievably based.

>>14429637
Lol yeah I’m sure Taco Bell is going under real soon buddy, you’ll be back munching on a bean burrito within the week.

>>14432885
based
>>14432908
yes, and I agree, especially getting them grilled for free, so you have $1 Beefy Fritos Grillers

Chipotle poached the previous Taco Bell CEO back in 2018.

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/13/chipotle-picks-taco-bell-ceo-to-be-its-new-chief-dow-jones.html

It's been why Chipotle is slowly gaining back customers. Meanwhile, Taco Bell went full retard and hired this idiot from Adidas to be his replacement.

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/25/yum-brands-new-taco-bell-ceo-is-former-adidas-executive-mark-king.html

No food industry experience at all.

>>14434607
I'm not going to read any of that shit and just take your word for it, because this is clearly a stupid move. But still, I don't know anyone who eats at Chipotle.

>>14431345
I sincerely hope that fatass dies soon. As for taco bell, haven't been there in months and after this won't be going back. There's better options out there.

>>14429637
I went to taco bell with my neighbor on the way home from baseball practice when I was 8. I'd never eaten there before. I ordered a regular taco and ate it. Within 2 minutes I ran to the bathroom and violently vomited the taco straight into the toilet. It was strange, I had eaten tacos at home about a billion times with the ortega spice packets and ground beef browned on the stove. Weird. I didn't eat Taco Bell for another 4 years.

Then when I was 12, another friend of mine was having dinner while I was over playing, and his parents showed up with what else but Taco Bell. I didn't want to be impolite and explain that I had eaten it only one time ever and threw up violently, so I sat down and ate a taco. Once again, about 2 minutes later and I was in their front hall bathroom puking my guts out.

Moral of the story is, I can't even begin to attempt to digest Taco Bell. My body - which is NOT finnicky about other foods by the way, says FUCK THAT SHIT and rejects it.

>>14431647
Of course, I'm nobody to say yah or nay.
This is 4chan.

>>14435369
You sound like you just have severe autism and your mental illness makes you throw up, not the soy food. I can tell you're severely autistic because all you order is "a taco"

>>14435484
>go to TACO bell
>order a TACO
yeah what was anon thinking

>>14429672
Don't forget:
>undercooked and you risk fucking food poisoning

>>14435369
> I had eaten tacos at home about a billion times with the ortega spice packets and ground beef browned on the stove

absolutely disgusting

>>14435486
>go to dairy QUEEN
>no food for royalty on the menu at all

>go to Chick-fil-A
>all employees are male

>go to carls jr
>no one there is named carl or even named after their father at all

>>14429695
>>14429703
You’re both fucking idiots. I really want to beat the shit out of both of you equally. Faggot

>>14435486
Nobody actually buys tacos from Taco Bell. They're shitty and way overpriced. The only exception is when they come in a $5 box or combo meal (kek), or when there's an LTO $1 taco like now, or they're giving one away as some kind of a promotion. Someone going to Taco Bell and just straight up ordering tacos right off the menu is almost unheard of.

Has the standard "beef" taco meat gotten worse? I used to go to TB a lot around 2012, and rarely go after that. Went the other day and "beef" filling smelled like shit and had very little texture.

>>14431649
Hello dollar menu poorfags.
There is a reason that shit costs a dollar and comes with a large serving.

>>14436354
>there is a reason that shit costs a dollar and comes with a large serving
Yeah, it's because retards like you don't know how to order so you pay three times as much for a smaller portion of the exact same shit.

>>14436376
I don't like tacobell, but I know plenty of people who are willing to pay for their cheap nasty shit.

>>14429637
Okay but what are they doing this?

>>14435768
>his chick-fil-a doesn't hire christian schoolgirls
Lmao

>>14429637
>>get rid of Potatoes
Wait, what?!? This is as shitty of move from moving from mexican rice to cantina rice.

>>14429637
I think they should go back to their 1970's menu and fuck all that gay shit.

>>14436182
I only buy menu items that are from the old menu. none of the fad bullshit that they have been selling to get bubba's and stoners to eat there.

>>14436914
Oh yeah, stoners also probably buy tacos, just because they're too out of it to read the menu and don't care about money.

>>14429637
how to kill a business
>go woke
>go broke
keep politics the fuck away from food you perpetually offended faggots
>bend and Jerry's
haven't bought it in over 20 years. fuck them commie bitches

>>14436954
It doesn't look like Ben and Jerry misses your custom, so there goes that hypothesis, already. Think before you speak next time.

>>14436676
yeah, you liked potato you stupid irish fuck? guess what, fuck you, only white-trash spics, no green niggers.
go eat your potatoes at McDonnavins.

>>14437198
I... what?

>>14429637
it's called streamlining you get rid of the shit that doesn't sell. happens to me all the time at the grocery store, products I like disappears because apparently I was the only one who buys them.

>>14429637
getting this butthurt over fast food.

They killed the best item on the menu a long time ago. Fuck you, Taco Bell, I hope you get smothered in debt.

>>14437945
not true at all

>>14437198
take your meds schizo

>>14438467
no it's all true.

>>14429637
>7 layer burrito

With a single stroke, Primus becomes inaccessible to the future generations.

>>14429637

Exactly why is this happening? Is China the world's supplier of refried beans and shitty ground beef?

Similarly, why did Costco cancel their combo pizza? The store sells onions, olives, mushrooms, and peppers, and sausage--but they can't get them put on a pizza?

Are they trying to gradually phase out foods until the only option is a grey, insect-derived nutrient paste?

>>14429637
All of these things are interchangeable combinations of the same bullshit
taco bell was never good

>>14439370
>it's all interchangeable
Here's why it matters.

>>14439140
Going on down to South park
Gonna have myself a time
Friendly faces everywhere
Homophobes without temptation

>>14429637
nigger bell is gross and the gross fucks that eat there will still eat whatever slop they throw between crusty tacos.

>>14429672
>>expensive
jesus christ that's sad.

>>14439390
Here's another example. Maybe later I'll try making a 7 layer burrito using modifications and see how much that costs. That's also not even the point with most things. Fritos are gone, potatoes are gone, tostada shell is gone - those items are all gone and can't be recreated with other things they have on the menu.
>b-but it's all tasteless garbage
Some people enjoy it on occasion given the right context. If you don't eat at Taco Bell then maybe you shouldn't be posting in Taco Bell threads.

>>14429637
I genuinely don't understand the business logic in eliminating all potato items

>>14437945
Potato items and the Fritos burrito seemed to be quite popular

>>14439422
Wait they're getting rid of all fritos too? fuck man. Their new menu better be awesome

>>14439668
They're replacing it with the exact same burrito only sans Fritos, so don't expect anything

>>14439668
>they're getting rid of all fritos too
The beefy fritos burrito is literally the only thing on the menu that includes fritos.

>>14439140
>>14439399
jesus christ Primus sucks

just get a steak quesaritto with guac

>>14429637
didn't the used to have grilled stuffed burritos? why the fuck did they take those out?

>>14434607
Chipotle is insanely fucking over priced for what they serve.

I always preferred Del Taco but hearing that some of this shit is gone is sad. I would go by Taco Bell every few months to get some of those. The worst Del Taco does is get rid of their shrimp stuff out of season.

>>14434607
Chipotle sucks ass, Cafe Rio and Moes are both better by miles.

>>14429637
the Demolition Man timeline is looking less likely, bros

>>14440795
Great riffs though

>beefy frito burrito
one of few things worth going to taco bell for. this will be the final nail in taco bell's coffin. del taco is going to get all those value meal customers more easily. the chicken crunch is the superior dollar burrito and del taco is open 24 hours so we're witnessing taco bell's final days.

>>14439684
you can add fritos to almost any item
