My local news ran the story last week. 3 people weighed in - 2 regular news folks and the weather person. They split - 2 were very enthusiastic and the other was "grossed out" by the thought. I think you have to be the first in the Pit to report on it.

Sounds terrible, but I bet its really good. I cant imagine what goes into it to make it possible.

I'd put any fried product from Taco Bell and Long John Silver's up against the stuff they fry at Red Lobster and comically refer to as "hand battered." Not to mention the hefty price tag to help pay those $50/hr experienced hand-batters.

I guess I'll be the first to admit that I've tried it......and liked it. Most things don't gross me out. I'll tilt my head in confussion, but I'll try it anyways because I'm curious and my power to say no is weak. It was tasty and I'd buy it again.

McRib was terrible in my opinion.
I think Taco Bell's Breakfast and most of their food is awesome for fast food.....this makes me hate myself hahaha

Liked it a lot. The avocado ranch was my favorite part. It messes with your brain bc there isn't beef where you are use to it, but its worth a try for sure!
