What’s the worst version of a food item you love?

Love chocolate. Hate Hershey’s

Love burgers. Had in’n’out burger in Hollywood. Sucks.

One of my favorite comfort foods is a patty melt
Rye Bread grilled with swiss cheese, caramalized onions and a burger patty.. it's absolute perfection.
every time I find a restaurant that serves it each one does something different that just isn't right
Shoneys used Wheat bread
Cathys uses American Cheese.

everyone just fucks it up.
 
I love burritos.

Hershey's does suck, but the worst version of chocolate is those novelty items for holidays, like chocolate coins or hollow easter bunnies.

the chocolate tastes like wax and chemicals. It's usually not even clear what company made it

I love pizza, Dominos is the worst version of Pizza

I love peanut butter, Peter Pan is the worst version of it, it’s disgusting.

I'm no chili expert. I only eat it out of a can and think 6-packs of Stagg Chili from Costco are decent.

But no doubt the worst canned chili I've had is this. I swear to god it's dog food but accidentally placed in the soup aisle in every store.

Jumbo sized buffalo/chicken wings.

Whenever I see that shit on a menu I get fucking pissed. I want chicken wings, not a goddamn ostrich wing that's pure fat and chewy and disgusting. I hate this trend in America - there are entire food chains I no longer go to because they switched to "jumbo" size wings. Fuck off.

I love burritos. From any region of Mexico, mission style, whatever.

But, those microwavable burritos from 7-11. The packaging claims it's "Beef, Beans, and Cheese". I am pretty sure it's some kind of cheap beef/soy blend, the beans are basically some kind of paste, and the cheese is some kind of processed sauce. And they are dry. So dry.
I've been living in Mexico going on 7-years. I've never met anyone selling burritos. Most I've asked in South Central know what they are but haven't even tried them. Heimdall_Xtreme Heimdall_Xtreme I'm assuming burritos are either Tex-Mex or in certain Northern States only.

About the worst version of a food item. Pretty much the entire menu at any given Hardees. Most freezer foods: fish sticks, frozen flautas (I think they're sold as taquitos), pizza bagel bites, hot pockets, frozen french fries like Ore- Ida.

To anyone saying McDonalds or White Castle for burgers, clearly you’ve never had a burger from Sonic…
My brother did and we saw Sonic run!

Worst burger I've had were those frozen vegetarian disasters. I think they were called Boca burgers. Go figure.

Burritos are more from the northern states, in fact the Nachos were created in Coahuila 😃👍🏻

Burritos got to be some kind of white guy or corporation invention. Not only do all the fast food chains have them here, but in Canada you got dedicated burrito joints like Burrito Boyz. Even the logo is some kind of ghetto font trying to give it some lower income Latino vibe to it.

Canada has very little Latino population, so you dont get a lot of authentic Mexican restaurants. And the ones I think are authentic probably arent anyway.

But this is the kind of Mexican food you get a lot of in the Toronto area.

This. American cheese ruins everything. I laugh at any "upscale" burger place that tries to sell you on a premium burger and then slaps on a Kraft single.

American Cheese has it's place, I mean you're emulsifying good cheese with milk to produce something that melts smoothly instead of dripping oil.. so it's ideal in a lot of cases.
also when making queso dip it has to be in there unless you feel like getting sodium citrate to produce the same result.

It just doesn't belong on a patty melt.

There is good American cheese and bad American cheese. Good American cheese is just super melty cheese, bad American cheese is like those kraft slices which have some sort of weird plasticizer that means they keep their shape even when melted.

American cheese is GOAT on burgers.

Spaghetti O's instead of actual pasta and bolognaise gravy.

I judge people who eat Spaghetti O's over the real deal.
