Damn, I didn't know McDonalds did pizza :lol

Mine didn't make the list. For me it's the chillito from Taco Bell. I stopped going there after they took those off the menu.

As a kid I used to jokingly call it Cholesterhazy steak and my brother got a kick out of it

They also "retired" the Double Down Dog which wasn't mentioned in the list. I think it tops the Double Down on the disgusting meter.

The Double Down actually wasn't bad, but I like bread on my sandwiches.

Jack in the Box used to put some kind of secret sauce on their basic cheeseburgers but they don't anymore. That was my go-to burger growing up.

Salad Shaker was actually a decent idea. Wendy's all-you-can-eat salad bar was fantastic back in the starving college student days.

the double down was more of a meme than anything. i had it once when it came out due to the intrigue factor.

popcorn chicken has been and and off at kfc. i haven't been to one in years, so i dont know what the current situation is. was always a big fan of that

It doesn't look officially retired but the last few times I've been through a McD, that store didn't offer the Southern Style Chicken Sandwich. It was very close to tasting like Chick Fil A. The biggest difference being the cut of chicken.

Wendy's had a salad bar?? Crazy.


I remember during my highschool days Jack in the Box had a robust $1 menu including a really good chili cheeseburger.

I don't know of too many more I'm missing, I try to avoid drive thrus as much as possible these days and will settle for something I can pop in the microwave before settling for fast food.

The Wendy's near us had breakfast a few years back. Only had it for about 6 months, I guess it was a test and didn't do so well. But it was every bit as good as McDonald's breakfast, for whatever that's worth.

Always tried to find non chain places to eat, got that from my dad. Never warmed up to fast food joints. Obviously...if hungry and that's all ya got, ok cool.

Would NEVER work at one of those places, that has to suck.

Jack in the Box 55 cent small burgers (they were pretty good, too) that they served during this past recession for a couple years.

Sonic sold 59 cent small burgers from about 2008-2011.

Not fast food, but recently discovered that Red Lobster axed their stuffed flounder for good -- it doesn't exist anymore and it was the best thing they had, along with their Teriyaki shrimp skewers that they used to offer as part of their endless shrimp promos in the fall. Red Lobster just isn't worth it anymore.

1980's McDonalds back when the food wasn't trash. Big King from Burger King was a double cheeseburger for $.99. My friend could eat 4 of them and they were full sized burgers.

Fuck man I miss the cherry and apple pies from McDonalds thirty years ago when they used to fry those bitches. They still sell these kind of pies elsewhere in the world but in the US we get those heavy soggy baked pies instead of the light and crispy fried ones they had in the 1980s.

People laugh but McDonalds was awesome in the 80s with the fried pies and the fries cooked in beef fat. Now the only thing on the menu that I'm much of a fan of is the chicken biscuits and hash browns, those are both great.

Breakfast sandwiches are decent but they cheap out on the bacon. Fries are still the best imo. The McNuggets used to be so good with honey and even their cookies were the best.

+1...the chilito looked like a dirty diaper when you opened it up but man was it tasty. Maybe thispego can lobby his corporate overlords to bring it back.

I'm not a seafood fan, so I'm biased. But that sounds really gross. :lol

The Blackjack Taco from T-bell (c. 2009)...I don't know what that sauce was (nor do I want to know), but it was delicious.

The KFC Snacker was dirt-cheap and good but after awhile the only place I could find one was at the airport in Kuwait. Haven't been to a KFC in 2-3 years so not sure if it's back or not.

The alfalfa sprouts on the Chicken Club at Carl's Jr. I don't eat fast food all that much anymore, but I thought this subtle change to the sandwich kind of changed it for meh.

How is Port A? We used to go every winter and summer for about 4 years but haven't been back in a couple of years.
Did most of the restaurants stick around?

Haven't been there in a long while, going home at the end of July for a week. Will be heading out there like mid-week when Im there. Always had fun and lots of places you can fish in the water too, but hate the damn croakers always swimming near my feet but make good bait.

Always enjoyed going there. Pretty relaxing. And not super expensive to do for 5 or 6 days.
There were about 4 or 5 restaurants that we'd always hit. Just wondered if they all stuck around.

I just looked up our favorite, Venetian Hot Plate and it's still open. I'd highly recommend it. They have different fish specials every night and they are always amazing. Top shelf.
Have to make a reservation though.

Speaking of Jack In The Box, does anyone actually get high & eat their Munchie Meals? The food combos in those meals sound more like pregnant woman food than something a stoner would eat.

I still remember my stoned order at JITB word for word.

One crispy chicken sandwich with no sauce, one chicken fajita pita, 6 piece eggrolls, large Dr. Pepper, and I need several packets of hot sauce. (those were for the chicken sandwich)

Huh, here in the Philippines we still have those fried apple pies. Idk if you've ever been to a Jollibee but they have these peach mango pies that are awesome. They're fried as well and I've always preferred them to McDonald's apple pies.

the ordinary taco bell “beef” (and sand) tacos before they started selling concept/play “food”

once a month or so moms useda come home with sacks of em and just spill em out on the counter by the dozen for us kids and say go to town, dont feel like cooking tonight

probably $6 worth of tacos to feed the family
