This weekend we decided to make our food choices based around some new products that came out. I can honestly say I should get paid for this given some of the things I had to eat or at minimum reimbursed.
KFC’s Smoky Chipotle 2 pc meal. We were both really looking forward to this because it harkened us back to the days of Sisters Chicken and Biscuits Spicy Chicken from our childhood. We should’ve known KFC would screw it up. First off just the name alone is annoying because there’s a big “chipotle” craze sweeping this nation and KFC thought it would be lucrative to cash in on that craze. The texture of the chicken breading looked promising, as it was a darker red color in comparison to its Crispy and Original Recipe counterparts. It took quite a few bites before we even tasted any flavor much less a hint of smoky anything. For anyone who likes spicy food, you’ll laugh heartily at this weak attempt at adding “smoky chipotle” to expand their menu. I won’t even go into their generous 3 tablespoon portion of macaroni and cheese being congealed yet again. I’d love their schedule as to when they make fresh mac and cheese but that is obviously rare these days. Overall, stick to the tried and true chicken if you’re a KFC fan because this new addition is a definite miss.
Arby’s Texas Toast Sandwich Meal. Should I be worried when I don’t even find the item that’s been hyped on TV all week on their online menu? The answer is yes. This is a Texas Toast roast beef sandwich and I got the double cheese. First off, the cheese sauce is just gross. Tastes as artificial as it is. Second, when the words Texas Toast are in the title, I expect to get both pieces toasted not one pathetically toasted on one side and the other piece plain. If I wanted roast beef on square Wonder bread, I can make that at home thanks. I’m not a fan of the curly fries either and them being ice cold at 11:30am when your lunch rush starts doesn’t make me anymore of a fan. I took two bites of each and threw it all away. The best thing I got from them was the drink. So there’s $4 down the drain.
