After a hike it's convenient to grab a quick bite here. A slapped together bean burrito smothered in hot sauce, a steaming juicy greasy mouthful of chicken... all offered with the added convenience of a drive-thru (even if the "window" is on the passenger side of the car).

Then the sudden dense calorie and fat content causes my veins to suffer from instant fat overload and I tend get nauseous.

Yes it's a fast food chain, yes their food is loaded with fat, yes I am not requesting gourmet, and even holding an expectation for decent crisp and fresh faux-Mex is going overboard already.

But I never learn either. Bad Taco Bell/KFC!

Must give it up for this joint for its history.

This is the infamous KFC that used to offer specials on the side if you knew how to ask for them

Extra biscuits anyone?

If a big old "0" was possible it would be right here^^^^^

Want a side of crack with your chicken?

Here is how it went down....
SO and I decided to be gluttons and get some KFC on our way home from Sausalito last night.
We pulled in at 8:30pm, walked into the freezing desolation that was KFC.
Walked to the register where the overly happy asian guy says "What do you want"...missing here was the "welcome to KFC, may I take your order"..but anyway
We say that we need a second....
Then we ask for an 8 piece meal.....this is where the true fun starts

"Ok, but we only have original chicken...."
Us: "Ummmm...what?"
Him: "You must be the only people that like crispy"
Us: "Um..ok, original is ok I guess"
Him" What sides?"
Him "What Sides"
Narrators note, the "what sides" questions came in rapid succession much like automatic gunfire.

Us: "Beans and Mashed potatoes"
Narators note again, we noticed that during our order he moronically smiled at us the entire time, but failed to punch anything into his handy computer....he then scremed into the back " How long is the chicken going to take?" ...then he walked away

We were "beriddled" as my SO's uber intelligent boss puts it.

Then greasy crankster white guy comes up to the front
Him "I guess the other guy left, so what was your order again...I heard 8 piece"
Us " Umm..8 piece, original side of beans and mashed potatoes, please"
Him " ok, its gonna take awhile because we have to cook the beans and we only have white meat chicken"
Us " ok, I guess we'll hang out, thanks"

At this point we sat down and listened to the twilight zone esque dialogue that was taking place in the back
" We never stock potatoe salad, no one orders it"
"We don't have any biscuits..."
"Dude..I just remembered something"

and on.....
Then another hapless couple arrives;
They want 2 chicken bowls, except the girl wants hers with no chicken and no cheese, and a side of biscuits....Strange order but whatever.

Then they tell her that she can't have biscuits because they "sold" the biscuits. We could only assume at this point that they had sold the biscuits to us, because they hadn't told us about the lack of biscuits.

After sitting there for 20 minutes, the girl worker person comes up to us and says "I have some bad news"
SO: "More?"
Girl: "We don't have any biscuits, do you want another side?"
SO :" What else do you want honey?"
Me: " I want our money back, and I want to go away"

So, we got our money back, after greasy crankster dude asked "Just cause we don't have biscuits?"
Then we went to Tommy's Wok, and had yummy food.
The End

My last meal on earth would be Taco Bell that is how much I love this place...  I love Taco Bell... so it is with great sadness that I report this is the worst TACO Bell in the Universe!!!!  (now I know fast food, bad, no fast food) but Taco Bell is the only fast food I do eat and it is a real treat for me.  I am very picky about my Taco Bell.. I like the cheap taco and the cheap bean burrito.  Anything else if fluff and I really don't go to Taco Bell for fluff.....  

Today was my treat day.... My taste buds were ready to and willing to accept the freeze dried meat that they re-hydrate, lettuce and cheese all in a crunchy taco shell.  

Open my mouth and down the hatch.. but first I took a look at my Taco's... (notice plural so it was a true taste test) and there was hardly anything in my taco.. I counted 5 pieces of shredded cheese and from there the whole thing went downhill.

I felt like I was back in high school again. Making a lunch run to Taco Bell and scarfing down some tacos (the only thing that was missing was my 40). Times have changed though. Now instead of a pack of tacos, I was pleasantly surprised with the deliciousness of the chalupa and the somewhat crunchiness of the crunchwrap supreme (T9 on the menu)...This location sports the KFC option as well. However, that only confuses things. The ridiculous amount of taco bell items combined with all the new KFC bowls and strips can make your head (and stomach) spin...

I broke down and ate Taco Hell again against my better judgment .    A voice inside my head screams NOOOOOOOO but something about the colors, the memories of childhood, and so on, appeald to me on an unconscious level.  Anyway, the crispy stuffed tostada, or whatever they call it, is as diabolical a food product as you're ever going to see.  Take a standard issue tostada shell, cover it with old iceberg lettuce, tasteless tomatoes, beans, unmelted American cheese,  then wrap the whole thing geometrically in their pasty, soapy, uncooked flour tortilla, and it adds up to a big fat hairy YUCK!  The kind, like, you don't even it half of it before you throw it away and your're afraid that one of your friends is going to catch a whiff in the car and bust you because the smell lingers for days.  I added a star though b/c of the association to the once-great KFC.
