I've never heard of those before, either.

TDub is that rare combination of someone who can be "a good dude", despite being wrong nearly all the time.

(And now that you mention it, I might have to go heat up a couple of those leftover Taco Bell tacos, for brunch.)

I can be kind of foodsnobby. I have to admit I have had a craving for some fast food lately. TB tacos sound kinda good. As does a whopper.

If I know TDub, it's probably made with American Cheese, Miracle Whip, and hamburger helper.

This might be most insulting thing yet. I do NOT support miracle whip or any other mayo or mayo alternatives. Mayo is absolutely disgusting pig slop filth.

American cheese tho, absolutely.

I had mayo with my fries last night. Good stuff.

Can't deal with MW though.

Can there be any doubt that TDub is trying to kill us:

Quesarito, it’s a burrito wrapped in a quesadilla.

Image

The decent base of tortilla and rice gives the cheese and protein a solid springboard to showcase their flavors, and for the most part, they do a good job. The cheese in the quesadilla forms a golden ring around the bisected burrito, and every bite is equally blessed by the melty smoothness..."

Quesarito: 650 calories, 34g total fat

Crunchy Taco Supreme: 11 grams of fat, 190 calories

But, it does sound delish:

Taco Bell's Quesarito: A Fast-Food Love Affair Gone Awry

Hybrid foods are hit or miss. When they're honest attempts to expand the human dining experience by combining the virtues of two or more complementary yet previously segregated items, the results can be extraordinary. Pizza bagels, peanut butter cups, and Jell-O shots are classic examples of disparate foods joining forces to increase global happiness.

But far too often, you end up with a worthless joke of a Frankenfood that was clearly cobbled together just for the sake of novelty. Ramen burgers, turduckens, and car bomb shots are prime examples of compound foodstuffs that would have been better left to their own devices...

Taco Bell deserves credit for attempting two legitimate innovations in recent years: 2012's Doritos Loco Taco was of course a naked attention grab, but by powder-coating a hard taco shell with Dorito dust they introduced a new ingredient into their notoriously conservative canon. It's also an improvement upon their base model hard taco. This spring's Waffle Tacos proved to be pretty shitty, but they were at least an admirably bold creep beyond the chain's comfort zone.

Now they're coming at us with the Quesarito, a half-assed collision of preexisting conditions masquerading as the cronut for the Mountain Dew-in-the-morning set. A Quesarito is a quesadilla wrapped around a burrito. This means that instead of having cheese inside a normal burrito, you have it trapped inside the double-hulled tortilla of your burrito. The innovation here is to give you more bland, pasty tortilla to chaw through on your way to the underwhelming mess of rice, meat, sour cream, and not-hot sauce trapped inside.

The Quesarito is pure, unmitigated bullshit. And before you tell me fast food sucks and what did I expect, let me establish that I don't come at these reviews with the intent of ripping apart easy targets. I am on record praising Taco Bell's eggs. I'm not a hard grader. I tried all three Quesaritos—chicken, steak and seasoned beef—in a comprehensive attempt to find redeeming attributes, because I try to be fair (and because the Fast Food Pulitzer isn't going to just hop itself up onto my shelf), and I came away with very few nice things to say...

the novelty is the Bailey's curdles as soon as it goes into the Guinness, so you have to chug it before it turns into cottage cheese. I thought it usually had a little Irish whisky in the shot glass too.

I really enjoy a TB (or TJ) std-grade taco.

Same time, I love MCD. Macs, burgs and fries. Oh, and filet o fish...

There. I said it.
