Rich chocolate and decadent marshmallow fillings baked side-by-side in a sweet, graham cracker crust.
McDonald’s, South San Francisco CA
Yuck! I did not enjoy this. The chocolate and marshmallow fillings oddly had the same weird, spongey texture. You could taste how processed it was, and the flavors weren’t even that good.
I always feel that I should try new fast food products so I can personally know if they’re any good, but maybe I shoudl rethink that…
A crunchy taco made with seasoned beef, lettuce, and cheddar cheese in a shell made from Nacho Cheese Doritos with more chips on top. 170 calories, 9g fat
Taco Bell, Palm Springs CA
I had to try it, lol! And, of course, I was underwhelmed – even at 2 AM.
Typical Palm Springs neighborhood scene.
Chicken, pesto, spinach and feta cheese. $4
Nizario’s Pizza, San Francisco CA
Ah, the good ‘ole 2 AM slice of pizza! I always seem to add more parmesan cheese and dried pepper flakes on top. The better to soak up those pesky Cape Cods, lol!
Mosaic mural artwork, McKinley Elementary School.
Big King hamburger with 2 flame grilled beef patties, crispy lettuce, sliced onions, pickles, American cheese and Big King sauce. Meal with small fries and small Diet Coke. £3.99
Burger King, London ENGLAND
I guess BK in London has a different “King of the Day” sandwich for each day of the week. Mondays are Big King cheeseburger days! The burger seems much smaller than how the product description on their website reads. Hmm… It tasted like Burger King though! Sometimes fast food chains taste differently in other countries, but even the ketchup tasted the same here.
Video and neon displays of Picadilly Circus. Not quite Times Square but it’s still cute. Love the red double decker bus in the pic.
3 chicken fingers, fries, 1 Cane’s sauce, Texas toast, regular drink (Diet Coke).
Raising Cane’s, North Charleston SC
We don’t have this fast food chain on the West Coast so I had to try it while I was in the Charleston area. It was pretty good as deep fried chicken strips go, and I really liked the Cane’s sauce. I’m still a little baffled by the Texas toast. It’s just so thick and buttery that I don’t know how it really fits into an already artery-clogging meal.
Classic batter dipped fish with 2 buttermilk breaded chicken tenders, 2 premium breaded shrimp, hush puppies, macaroni & cheese, and steamed broccoli. $5.28
Captain D’s Seafood Kitchen, North Charleston SC
Be still my heart and clogged arteries! This was A LOT of fried food, but I did get steamed broccoli so that makes it all ok, right? LOL! This plate was a mess. The fish was super greasy, the chicken strips and shrimp were super dry, and the broccoli was mushy. I did like the mac & cheese though.
Personal pizza. I seriously haven’t had Pizza Hut pizza in over 10 years, but I had a super tight connection and I was starving! The pizza is as buttery and salty as I remember. $4.39
Pizza Hut Express, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW)
Dallas looks so small from the airplane! I guess not everything is BIGGER in Texas!
$3
Nizario’s Pizza, San Francisco CA
Back in graduate school, I would frequently hit this place after a night of clubbing. These days, I’m less likely to grab pizza with the afterhours crowd – I’m getting old! I did, however, find myself at Nizario’s recently. I’m surprised I was able to take these pics, lol! As if a greasy pepperoni pizza slice isn’t enough, I’ll also cover the slice in red chili flakes, oregano, and parmesan cheese. I’m a mess!
Valley oak (Quercus lobata, Fagaceae), Corona Heights Park/Hill. This is my favorite oak in California. I love the large, deciduous, deeply lobed leaves!
Deep fried pocket filled with seasoned ground beef. $4.90 (East Caribbean dollar)
Patty Shack, Roseau, DOMINICA
I’ll admit that this was actually very good! I guess it’s customary to order a Jamaican patty at the Patty Shack, right? I’m not sure what makes it Jamaican, perhaps the seasoning. The filling was super hot, but very flavorful. And I love how they have “JUICI” stamped onto the crust.
Candles at Our Lady of Fair Haven Cathedral. This small church is one of the few tourist sites within downtown Roseau. I always find myself at churches where ever I go. I think they’re calming, beautiful, and they can really tell you a lot about the particular city.
Breaded and deep fried shrimp served with a side of French fries and sweet and sour sauce. $9.50 (East Caribbean dollar)
Patty Shack, Roseau, DOMINICA
So Patty Shack is a fast food chain on Dominica, and I wasn’t too impressed. I guess I’m used to the speed of American fast food chains, and this place was slower than I’m used to. It took a good 15 minutes for me to receive my order. The shrimp were hard and dry and the fries were limp and soggy.
View of downtown Roseau. This was not my favorite island of the trip. We were verbally harassed by a group of locals and generally felt uneasy thereafter. While there aren’t too many tourist attractions in downtown Roseau, I would definitely suggest walking in groups.
Project 365: Day 83
I’m still struggling to complete my work trip travel authorization on our systems without all the information I need. I’ll have a co-instructor but he hasn’t been very helpful either. Oh well, at least my gym workouts have been going well. I’ve been somewhat unmotivated, but I’m still trying to push myself. I don’t think there will be much of a gym at my hotel in Charleston so I’ve got to get in some quality workouts before then.
Crispy egg roll (1 pc) filled with diced pork, cabbage, celery, carrots, onions, and spices and served with sweet and sour dipping sauce.
Jack in the Box, Kettleman City CA
Silverfox and I had this less than stellar fast food meal on one of our road trips down to Palm Springs. It’s fast food, what can you do?!
This thing is super starchy, but familiar. Meh.
Crispy chicken nuggets (5 pcs) with bbq sauce.
Grilled white meat chicken strips (5 pcs) served with teriyaki dipping sauce.
Diet Coke and coffee.
Project 365: Day 60
Wow, what a long day! Had a great time at Codes’ birthday party last night. I do remember a couple funny moments. During the birthday banquet, some college frat guy walks by our table and because I was partially obstructing the walkway with my chair he politely says to me, “Excuse me, sir.” Sir! Omfg, I kinda freaked out, lol! But I also thought it was funny. Then at Taj Mahal, I was ordering another round at the bar and a group of three young college dudes (I’m sure from OSU since it’s down the street) look and me and say, “Well you look dapper!” LOL! Oh, kids can be so funny some times!
Anyway, today we ran more errands, visited Codes’ house, had drinks at Union, had more drinks and food at Hubbard, then went back to Union for even more drinks. I’ve never been to a White Castle so I had to go and try it after the bars. Omg, these things was so cute and cheap!
These sliders are definitely easy to eat. They practically melt in your mouth! That’s probably why people can eat so many of them. I also tried the chicken rings, but they weren’t all that great. I don’t know what I was expecting but they were kinda limp and didn’t have too much flavor without the bbq sauce.
White Castle, Columbus OH
Jalapeno cheeseburger. $0.89
Original chicken rings. Six for $2.19
Deep fried chicken pieces in a fun shape – can’t go wrong with that!
They come individually boxed!
