/ck/ - Food & Cooking

[Anonymous No.11876680]

A lot of people have been saying that Little Caesars is the best deal in fast food, so a couple nights ago I tried their $6 extramostbestest pepperoni pizza, and it actually wasn't too bad. And while it was admittedly a better deal in terms of sheer calories - especially when you count the included 2L sugar water - I still maintain that Taco Bell is still a better value.

Pic related is tonight's $7 haul:
>two fritos burritos grilled with onion and red sauce
>5 layer burrito grilled with onion and red sauce
>nacho fries with cheese dip
>soft taco al fresca
>doritos loco taco al fresca
>large iced coffee for the morning
>*all prices exclude tax

Not counting the drinks, the Taco Bell order comes to 2060 calories, whereas the entire pizza is 2470 calories. In conclusion, you really, really have to enjoy mediocre pepperoni pizza to consider that a better value than a varied and balanced, well thought out Taco Bell order.

[Anonymous No.11876689]

Agreed, this was my order a couple weeks ago and it was so filling I couldn't finish it (rare for me).

For 7$ you could have bought a quart of heavy whipping cream and drank it for 3300 calories if the goal is just calories per dollar.

Superior way to do it. No yelling shit into a talk box, easily customize everything, pay ahead of time to not deal with that at the store, and it’s not made until you pull up to the drive thru and tell them you’re there to pick it up.

[Anonymous No.11876727]

>>11876689
Yeah, it's pretty easy if you just order dollar burritos. 6 fritos burritos comes to 2630 calories, so I guess that actually beats the LC pizza. Though I do like some variation, and although I wasn't a fan of the grande burritos I was surprised by how briefly they were on the menu.

This is true, but only because you can have any item made vegetarian by swapping out the meat for beans. Not that I do, I still miss my smothered steak burrito with no sour cream. That was the best item on the menu, along with some three-layer nachos.

OP here, reporting in after a long Friday night. I obviously didn't order every item individually; see >>11878618

I got a $5 nacho fries box which comes with a a 5 layer, a doritos burrito, and a drink. Then I ordered two $1 fritos burritos, and got another taco for free because of a current promotion using the app. None of the substitutions or additions cost anything using the app.

>>11880356
No tip, just 50 cents tax.

[Anonymous No.11881204]

>>11880252
Wait... Where the fuck to you live that the 5 layer only costs 2 bucks? It had been $2.19 forever and they just recently upped it to $2.89 - though the app doesn't always keep up with the new prices. That's honestly the only reason I ordered a $5 box, as the 5 layer is almost $3 on it's own these days.

[Anonymous No.11881388]

Wasn't planning on getting Taco Bell again tonight, but got drunk on the drive home and decided to just pick up a couple fritos burritos. Turned out the line was out into the parking lot soI bit the bullet and got another pizza. Went for the Hawaiian this time, which is honestly a huge upgrade from the pepperoni for just $1.50 more.

God damn that's a lot of toppings, that's at least 4x what Domino's gives me

[Anonymous No.11881404]

>>11881394
Yeah, it's their extra most bestest, which is supposed to pile on the toppings for like a dollar more. It honestly wouldn't be worth it for less toppings as the crust is super thick and bready. I can't even imagine how terrible the deep dish/Detroit style must be.

Since I got Hawaiian I decided to add green sauce, because Hawaii is green.

[Anonymous No.11881407]

I never get the hot & ready stuff because it gets kinda shitty after an hour or two in the warmer. I just order something fresh online, usually a three meat deep dish.

>>11881407
I ordered through the app and got pick up at the portal; never done hot and ready (pretty much that's only 4-8, and I can't imagine picking up Little Caesars in the middle of the day).

The green sauce was okay, but I had a jar of furikake on the table and thought, "hey, it's Hawaii, why not?" Turns out the furikake really didn't go well.

The app pretty frequently offers either a free drink or a free taco.

In honor of the goddess Pele - and my previous intentions of getting Taco Bell - I decided to try Fire sauce. All I can say is that fire sauce is great on Taco Bell, but for some reason terrible on literally everything else. I'll never understand people who buy Taco Bell sauce at the grocery store.

I’ve never had little Caesar’s pizza but Taco Bell is some of the worst slop o shit food you can buy. It almost revels in how shitty it is and dares you to eat it. The people who go there often are straight up adicts. Everything comes with some kind of greasy/salty/saccharine “sauce” to help you choke down the garbage they serve. If you build up a tolerance to the cloying refuse they serve it’s so engineered to blisspoint hell you somehow ignore the fact that it’s not fit to serve animals. There was some weight loss show where a trainer tried to eat like her fatass client years ago and she did ok enough until she had to eat Taco Bell which made her puke. And I don’t think she was exaggerating at all.

Fuck Taco Bell. Baja blast is a guilty pleasure however.
