Irresistible or Terrible: 18 Novelty Fast Foods

With news that Taco Bell is taking one step closer to inflicting waffle breakfast tacos on the nation, we figure it is time for a look at the nation's nastiest novelty fast foods. Yum.

I feel diabetic shock coming on. $:-\$

Dang!!! I read the title and thought it was about me

I figured on voting 'Both'... LOL

Danielle Emmalee · August 07, 2013, 09:45:35 PM

I've never been the first to answer a poll. Now I feel special.

Jamie D · August 07, 2013, 09:48:42 PM

I have actually had the McRib before. It is better without raw onions though.

bethany · August 07, 2013, 10:01:45 PM

Sorry but I'll pass on that menu. The only two things that sounds edible too me are the McRib and the lobster roll. But I have no problem not eating them.

Jamie D · August 07, 2013, 10:22:27 PM

I think I would add to the list the "Humdinger" - a double chili cheeseburger topped with sliced hot dogs.

Formerly made by Pete's Grandburger in downtown Los Angeles (moment of silence).

I want to try the donut breakfast sandwich, grilled cheese burger melt, Denny's fried cheese melt, a cronut, a bacon sundae, chicken wings, pancake sausage bites, and a pasta bread bowl.

I don't do much fast food anymore but every now and then I get a craving for a JumboJack with cheese add bacon with a side of onion rings and I use to love their cheesy bacon potato wedges

Since I've been learning to cook I find that I can make a better version of just about anything on any fast food menu for less $$$$$

I also think most of the options listed sound pretty nasty

Renee · August 08, 2013, 05:08:45 PM

I've not had any of those as I don't eat at fast food places that often. I usually prefer the food at local grills and restaurants and none of those are very fast...

DriftingCrow · August 08, 2013, 05:35:36 PM

Omg none of these sound good. . . seriously? fast food lobstah? **shudders**

For fast food, I like Qdoba, their burritos are good. Though is it fast food since they don't have a drive-thru?

I also like Cosi's, but I am not sure if they're fast food either. They're kind of like a Panera Bread.

Taco Bell - 7 layer Burrito - el fresco minus the guacamole' sauce - this way it is Vegan

(the sauce has dairy in it)

Aren't half the layers dairy lol? It basically becomes a 4 layer burrito beans, lettuce, tomato and rice

that is what the el fresco option does - you don't know about that? it removes the cheese and sour cream and adds a layer of fresh salsa instead this makes if Vegan

(but ONLY if you remember to tell them to also remove the guacamole sauce because that ALSO has dairy in it most of them don't know this) so it is actually a 5 layer burrito and they add more of the stuff to make up for it

the only other place in town to go that is easy is Chipotle

there is another sit down restaurant, but it is far more expensive and not fast food

LordKAT · August 09, 2013, 04:07:59 AM

I guess I don't eat fast food much since I've never had any of the things on the list.

The McDonald's Lobster Roll is only available in selected locations in Maine.

So no sour cream and cheese either. That actually sounds pretty good.

I make my burritos at home with cuban black beans.

I hope some eager beaver puts together a list of the calories, sodium, and fat content of each ofl those items!

V M · August 09, 2013, 05:46:55 PM

Eager beaver? Humph!!! Such language Dev.

We are talking about eating things but that's going a bit too far

Devlyn · August 09, 2013, 05:56:32 PM

Sorry! I'll punish myself.

Is that soap deep-fried and sprinkled with powdered sugar?

Devlyn · August 09, 2013, 06:29:55 PM

And cinnamon. Stop revealing my secrets!
