Fruity Pebbles is the foulest rainbow slurry in existence.
If turtles don't grow forever, then how will we ever get to the point of Amon Saga, where entire civilizations thrive on their ancient shells?
Regarding burgers, Wendy's is my favorite among the listed chains, though Steak and Shake is oddly satisfying sometimes. As to the burger/milkshake combo, I've always seen them as having a natural relationship. Perhaps it's a predominantly rural thing, as I don't know a lot of urban "shake shop" establishments. There are still tons of those back in my home county, though their quality has declined precipitously over the years. God, a burger, some fries, and a strawberry-banana milkshake. I've just described the secular half of my childhood! -
The "W" burger at Wendy's has nearly redeemed that solitary letter in my mind.
-
BBQ sauce pizza, even with chicken to even it out, is disgusting. That is all.
-
Paul, I hate you and you are wrong.
-
The chicken is not there to even. It is there to enhance.
-
I think there are better ways to implement chicken on a pizza. I think tikka masalla chicken on a pizza would be incredible.
The Clone Wars TV show actually has an interesting take on clones. Rather than constantly questioning whether or not they are individual, distinct people, they spend all of their energy actually attempting to be individual, distinct people. They're always customizing their armor with little doo-dads and coming up with ludicrous nicknames for themselves. The desire to distinguish themselves also makes them pretty eager to risk their lives in dangerous situations, which is kind of sad given how little worth is put on their lives by their commanders. -
I think that's a British-style pizza topping, and I'm told that British pizza is the only thing that could possibly beat Japanese pizza for "worst shit you can put on a pizza."
-
Dreg: Check out this madness, specifically:
"Tandoori Chicken [Pizza] $9
Tomato sauce, corn, black beand, onions and mozzarella; topped with yogurt-cilantro chutney"
It's so good. Doesn't hurt that they also have $1 grilled cheese Mondays and 50 draft handles that all go 50% off during happy hour. -
I dunno man, Japanese pizza scared the shit out of me. Maybe it was an expectation thing, hoping for some comfort food and getting a nightmare on a dish.

It's Indian food, so the British probably repressed a lot of the taste. Wocka wocka. But yeah, outside of the ninja turtles, few people can beat japan when it comes to weird pizza toppings. I'm not a huge fan of any kind of seafood being put on pizza.

I'd buy that for a dollar! I think they might even have it at this Medeteranian place on my block.

Five Guys is okay; as is Steak 'n Shake. Red Robin has a good specialty burger every now and then.
Another contender I would add to the list is Cook Out, which I think is an East Coast thing, though maybe just an NC thing. It's another place I usually just go for the shakes, but both their shakes and burgers are way better than Steak 'n Shake. Plus they list corn dogs as a side item. -
I wish I didn't have so much pasta left to eat. I need a halfway decent reason to go to O'Reilly's and order a Jerk Burger for dinner.
-
Five Guys costs more than it's worth.

If there was a version of this sans corn and chutney, I'd be willing to at least try it.
-
I just noticed that their menu misspells "beans." Awesome. And why no chutney? The corn I understand, though to be honest, it ends up working.
-
BBQ Pizza is a fun treat for the discerning pallet.
-
BBQ chicken pizza is awesome. I've also buffalo chicken with a ranch dressing sauce is great.
-
Dude.
Ranch dress and buffalo chicken is not okay in any combination. That is a dressing too far. -
It's ok by itself, but it is great on pizza. I think I forgot the pizza part.
-
Buffalo wings and Buffalo Pizza do not need any dressing, especially ranch.
Buffalo pizza only needs chicken, sauce, bread, sauce, and buffaloes. -
Buffalo pizza does not need exist. Yeah I said it.
-
Buffalo chicken pizza is fine, though only in situations where you cannot access actual buffalo wings. Ranch dressing only goes on buffalo wings to calm the spiciness of the buffalo sauce, and therefore only for wimps
-
I'd also like to add that when Dave and I dined at Red Robin, I had to buy his beer because he was clean-shaven and looked about 17 years old. He got carded and didn't have his ID, because that's how Florida rolls.
I remember the meal being okay; it was followed by a theatrical showing of Drive Angry. -

You sir, should be ashamed of yourself. I'm tired of Big Pizza hiring goons to attack the Buffalo Pizza brand. You should not let your opinions be bought with cheesy bread and pepperoni pizzas. They may fill your stomach, but they won't fill your conscience.
Even though the Pizza Cabal will continue to attack us Buffalo Pizza lovers, I know that one day we shall overcome. I dream of a day when I won't be persecuted for my beliefs. I dream of the day I will be able to walk into a restaurant and order a slice Buffalo pizza without getting strange looks and a waitress telling me "Sir, this is a Waffle House. We don't have any kind of pizza."

I'm blowing my horn of Gondor but I know my back up will never come. Keep pizza pure! Keep pizza pure! Keep pizza pure!

Loved the cereal talk. It reminded me of growing up when my mom would only purchase off brand saw dust that tried to pass for shredded wheat and Cherios. On Christmas my father as a threat got us kids name brand sugary cereals one year as a present and we demanded it each year after.
I went home for Christmas and was forced to go to church with my mother but I got my revenge. The preacher was asking of parents what would be the first thing your children would think of when they thought of Christmas and complained that his own childhood had nothing of Jesus in it. When he asked of the congregation what would be the most powerful memory that their children had concerning Christmas I leaned over to my parents and whispered "cereal." My father had to leave because he was laughing so hard and my mother negated any reason to apply rouge. -
I was at Ian's Pizza in Chicago during New Years and had not only buffalo chicken pizza, but also Mac n' Cheese pizza. They were both delicious. Keep your pizza racism to yourself.
-
The epitome of pizza blasphemy is the cheeseburger pizza. Now this isn't what you'd expect from that term. Ground beef with mixed cheeses, regular sauce, and whatever is fine. A pizza with lettuce, American cheese, ketchup and mustard is not. Now I'm not above trying a pizza that looks bizarre on the surface, I may even be a little curious, but if we're already reached this point on the slippery slope, it might be time for us to examine where we've come as a people and our current cultural values.
It took me years to learn the Fruity Pebbles lesson as a kid. I'd ask for some, eat one bowl, remember that they were terrible, then forget in six months and start the cycle all over again. I might occasionally go for Cocoa Pebbles, but those are no less awful. -
Unfortunately, I think that's the relationship most of us had with Fruity Pebbles. I'm pretty sure I was buying Cocoa Pebbles when I was, like, 22.

BOROMIIIIIIIIR
I will always run to the defense of pizza purity. Elbereth Gilthoniel!!!!!!!! -
Too late I got, by my count, 4 arrows in the chest. Tell my brother my father is a douche.
-
Fruity Pebbles is like sugar scabs. So gross.
-
Also my appreciation for burgers has decreased exponentially since my discovery of the gyro. A gyro and fries may be one of my favorite meals ever. What I would give to start seeing Gyro & Shake shops.
-
I would patronize a Gyro & Shake shop to my body's detriment.
Tzatziki Shakes!
I just made myself barf. -
What you need is clever advertising like this. Eat this and one day you'll be an iron man.

Well, this keyboard is ruined.
Screw gyro's, go for alliteration: Shawarma & Shakes. -
Shake 'n' Shawarma flows better I think.
-
Agreed. Let's get a business plan wrote up and I'll apply for the loan.
-
Sort of like a protein smoothie taken to the logical conclusion.
I think my most powerful memory of Christmas is the one year my sister asked how Mary got pregnant and my mom replied "one night the Holy Spirit came upon her". We couldn't breathe for about five minutes after that. -
For the record, with regard to my burger question, I'm a Five Guys man, myself. I agree about the fries though. I have never once finished an order of fries from there. But the Five Guys I usually go to here in Pittsburgh is right next to the Original Hot Dog Shop aka The O, which has the best fries in the whole city, so I've started lately getting a burger from Five Guys and fries from The O if I'm getting it to go haha.

Having listened to it now, I feel must defend Fruity/Cocoa Pebbles. I like them for the reason everybody apparently hates them, because I don't have to wait long for it to get soggy, and I loves me some soggy cereal. I feel like cereals that take too long to get soggy defeat the purpose of being dunked in milk since the consistency remains the same. Like Reese's Puffs and Trix which I'd rather eat by themselves than with milk. All cereal should strive to achive the Corn Pops level of consitency, which both hard and soggy cereal lovers can enjoy.
Having said that, I knew I was in the minority for the Fruity Pebbles camp when my daughter was the one who picked the cereal and ended up not liking it too much, so I had to step up.
-
If I wasn't such a nice guy, I'd burn you at the stake as a heretic, you dirty soggy cereal apologist.
-
I agree that the soggy texture is awful, but the flavor of Fruity Pebbles is what kills it for me. Or any fruit-flavored cereal, in fact. That technicolor false lemon flavor gives my mouth PTSD. Gyros are amazing and I can't get enough of them. The only thing I love more than the gyro itself is the tzatziki. I like classic flavors on pizza. I enjoy creativity, but in pizza it tends to jump the proverbial shark and the shit is a disaster. If I want BBQ, I will just have BBQ and leave pizza alone.
-
I went to a Cheeburger Cheeburger a few years back, and I remember it with fondness.
-
What does that store have against the letter S.
-
That's a phrase my dad always used when I was growing up. Whenever the topic of burgers would arise, as it is wont to when I'm involved, he would chirp out "Cheeburger, cheeburger!"
-
Was it due to the SNL sketch about the Greek restaurant that only served cheeseburgers? (No fries, chips. No Coke, Pepsi).
-

Figured this would be relevant to the discussion. -
Dreg: Unsure. Never asked.
-
Sounds like something that'd come up during a pokemon design team brainstorming session.
-
Five Guys is delicious. I even like their hotdogs, when sufficiently toppinged. Fries-wise, you need to just order 1/2 as many fries as there are people present, and always order the Cajun-style fries if at all possible.
