Default The 20 worst (restaurant) foods in America

Is your favorite on the list?

http://health.yahoo.com/experts/eatt...n-america-2009


"Can an appetizer with the caloric equivalent of 13 Krispy Kreme doughnuts be justified? No. The 2,710-calorie Awesome Blossom has been purged from Chili's menu--maybe the fat-drenched appetizer couldn't withstand the scrutiny of being named to the Eat This, Not That! list of the Worst Foods in America last year. No matter the reason, we applaud this waist-expanding starter's retirement."



There are some serious calories here!

i don't know about the nutritional value, but for downright unpleasantness, I suggest it would hard to beat the side order of 'dumplins' at Cracker Barrell my family and I unfortunately experienced over the holidays - what on earth is it made of? Texture like jelly fish and no discernible taste??? WTF??!

Well it's the 20 worst foods in America, but that onion came from OZ, right? We can't be blamed for it.


I haven't been to an IHOP in years. I always went to a local place called "Uncle Bill's". It was open 24hrs and I knew a waitress who worked nights there and she gave me free coffee. She found a wallet in a booth once that had $300 in it. She was living in her car at the time and didn't have a dime to her name. So, we took the $300 and drank every bit of it during an all day bender starting when she got off work that morning. Christ, that seems like a thousand years ago.

I have to admit to having eaten a Hardee's biscuit this past weekend. I had a craving for biscuits but couldn't be bothered to make my own (from scratch) so I bought a few for breakfast (for two of us).

I didn't buy the Monster Biscuit but just a pork chop biscuit with gravy. The pork chop and gravy was OK (this was the first time I'd even eaten a pork chop with gravy anywhere) but the biscuit was bad. Just plain bad. Not light and fluffy but somewhat doughy. That'll teach me to buy a biscuit from a burger joint.

I haven't tried the dumplings at Cracker Barrel but I just think it's wrong to expect good food at a Cracker Barrel if the branch isn't in the South. Really.

I happen to like Cracker Barrel once in a while for breakfast. I don't imagine any visiting Southerners would bother to eat in a Cracker Barrel up North. I know I wouldn't.

My restaurant has very good biscuits but they're not exactly a short ride away when I have the craving. Oh, I make them.

The only Popeyes near me is in the airport (I think).

Can't get real Mexican sh*t here anyway. The stuff I had in Mexico was totally different, loved it! Even the street vendor stuff (the Americans I was with looked at me in abject horror when I ordered tacos from a street vendor but they were fab).

So did you get your 99c back because the taco didn't live up to your gourmet expectations?
