Article: The 10 Worst Foods of the Year....(and I'm proud to say that I haven't tried any of them).

Small town positive note

We only have a Dennys and I avoid that place like the plague.

And, again, also on a small town note, I have it on good authority that dh sneaks over there for the occasional (gag) meat scramble.

 
Back in January I posted a clone of a relatively healthy Carl's Jr. Chicken Sandwich. Here it is:

(minus the word that got me into trouble)

Fake Mexican Chicken Sandwich

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup bottled teriyaki marinade

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper (to taste)
1/4 tsp. curry powder
1/2 tsp. chile powder (pure chile, not the stuff with other spices added)
pinch of salt

4 whole-wheat hamburger buns (get the good ones!)
4 lettuce leaves
4 whole green chiles, drained, but not rinsed (two cans), spread open flat
4 slices American cheese (sometimes I use pepper-jack)

1. Marinate the chicken for 1/2 hour in teriyaki marinade.
2. Prepare sauce in a small bowl by mixing mayonnaise with spices, through salt.
3. Pre-heat barbeque grill to medium heat.
4. Grill the chicken until done; approximately five to eight minutes per side. Watch carefully so they don't burn from the sugar in the marinade.
5. Toast the buns.
6. Spread one tablespoon of sauce on each bun face, top and bottom.
7. Starting on the bottom bun, place the items on the bun in this order: lettuce leaf, green chile, chicken breast, cheese, bun top.

Notes: We make these sandwiches about once a month. They are deceptively good, the finished product tasting much better than you would expect.

This recipe is based on Todd Wilbur's clone of the Carl's Jr. Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich.

 
I can honestly say I haven't eaten any of them ~ can't stand Carl's Jr, Denny's, nor Wendy's ~ Pizza

Hut is the absolute junk in Pizza along with Domino's.

The best Pizza is Ray's Pizza (all over Maricopa County)

I try not to eat fast foods but do try to eat at Salad Bar's such as Sweet Tomato's or places that have soup like ~ Olive Garden's Minestrone Soup, or Macaroni Grill's Italian Wedding Soup, or Claim Jumper's French Onion Soup minus the Mozzerella (believe it or not I don't care for mozzerella cheese)

 
Yes, good memory, Scott. That was a pancake sausage stick which still gives

me the shivers. But compared to the other items on that list, it doesn't seem all that bad, just wrong.

 
For school food, if they're the "good" brand, they aren't too bad! (if you can stand more)

One brand has a decently flavored pork based sausage at the heart, with a maple flavored, fluffy pancake on the outside. I shudder to think how many chemicals it takes to make this taste even halfway tolerable! I have to admit this is one of my favorite school breakfast items (I could make you shiver more with some items!), but get a bad one, and blech!!

 
Eeeek! I ate one!

It was the KFC Chicken bowl, but with country gravy - that brown stuff reminds me of...never mind. I was in a hurry and only minutes left to "grab" food to go for lunch. It was handy, no line...no good... *Ü*

 
Oh Glennis...

take pity on this Cali girl. I have shivered enough this winter to last a lifetime! My son's favorite lunch is breakfast for lunch. In keeping with that theme, we have breakfast for breakfast, he has breakfast for lunch, and we have breakfast for dinner. He always gets a kick out of that, and that pretty much supplies our cholesterol for the week! : )
