Without the three black olive slices, that “enchirito” was just all smoke and mirrors.

> That i can’t say. I never worked at Taco Bell. I did work at Jack in the Box for 6 years, and in that time the menu got extremely bloated to the point where it was impossible to meet our SOS goals. When I left, we had four different kinds of burger patty, six different chicken patties, about a dozen different buns, over a dozen fried foods, and four kinds of specialty beverages aside from the soda fountain (to say nothing of the all-day breakfast menu). Nothing lasts for more than 10 minutes or so once it’s cooked, so it was almost impossible to do anything but cook to order.

This is a sidetrack but…I always wonder why it takes me as long, or often times longer, to go through the drive-thru at Raising Canes. If you’re not familiar they have 5 things on their menu, all with the same ingredients in different combinations. Namely, chicken fingers and fries. 6 pieces with coleslaw and bread, 4 pieces with coleslaw and bread, 3 pieces with just bread, 2 pieces with just bread and a sandwich which is 2 pieces ON bread. Surely there isn’t anything cooked to order, and it doesn’t look like they are void of employees. But every time I go there’s a hell of a wait.

I tried Raising Caine’s once and that was enough. The breading was very soft with little flavor and no crunch. The fries were blah. I love coleslaw and theirs was the worst I have every had, it tasted like it had a barbeque flavor. I read some reviews later and nobody buys the coleslaw. The Texas toast was very good, however.
