haha, the KFC bowl is too easy to make jokes about. i think it’s one case where the individual pieces are greater than the sum of the parts.

however, taco bell is my guilty pleasure. the cheesy double beef burritto used to be my baby. now, the 89 cent chicken burritto is a steal.

Thanks. As far as I know, there is no way to try them in my neck of the woods, but I am familiar enough with most of the places, their ingredients and dastardly ways that I felt I was qualified to pontificate.

I still need to see Supersize me, but did see Food Incorporated in BAFICI (Film Festival) and was disgusted and impressed.

I have always been amazed by that bowl of insanity from KFC. Never amazed enough to try it however…

In Montreal, our primary nasty/wonderful fastfood is poutine (fries, gravy, cheese). One local spot makes a Pulled Pork Poutine that you should try. You will then have to take a nap.

Yeah, pulled pork is what bbq’d pork is called sometimes. It refers to the method of preperationoh screw it, you actually think fast food warrants hyperbolic statements. Love the douche-y granola types posting here too. “One time I walked near a McDonald$ and got herpes from the scent of the grease!!1″

LOVE your rant under the Pulled Pork Slider. Out of curiosity, did you have to try all these fine dishes again to research the article?

I’ve been off fast food for good since seeing the guy throw up in Supersize Me. But regarding your statement – “only a society hell-bent on the instant satisfaction of its basest needs at rock bottom prices could possibly generate the cuisine that follows” – I have to say read Fast Food Nation. Consumers practically did this to themselves. Not that I’m excusing McD’s… the whole thing is just a scary concept.

Oh my God. Those 5 are amazingly disgusting. lol. I read somewhere that national food restaurants/producers specifically create dishes that require as little chewing as possible and after 2-3 bites the food melts in the mouth. These are great examples of such.
