That just looks nasty Brad. I think you cured my never-to-be-filled craving.

I think if fast food places put the calorie counts out on the menu everyone would be dropping weight like no tomorrow.

Though in comparision... I found a Chipotle caculator and...

My burrito has 69g of fat, and 1385 calories. Though eating it over 3 meals like I do... 460 calories 23g of fat. Still not that great.

Chipotle is owned by McDonald's.

Yup. But it isn't McDonalds. It's Chipotle.

You're not gonna be talked away from that burrito, are you?

McDonald's owns Donato's Pizza, too, and Dontato's is NASTY. I'm staying away from Chipotle on principle.

BTD, you live in SoCal--can't you get a better (and potentially better for you) burrito in your town?

I'm hooked on Indian food right now. I hope that it's more healthy than the fast food stuff discussed in this thread (a whole day's worth of fat from one piece of extra crispy?? Sheesh!).

We've found a little Korean place that will make tempura carrots just for me! Mmmm I just love tempura carrots. No one else in the family eats them so I get them all. I usually make a meal of it and I'm happy!

As to the KFC bowls, when my husband and I saw the commercial we both went Ewww. I've been known to mix my corn in many things including smashed potatoes but topping that off with popcorn chicken, gravy and cheese, no thanks.
I don't understand the cheese thing either, nothing else at KFC has cheese so why did they throw that in there!? The commercial says it's the best of everything they have at kfc.

I don't eat at McDonalds, actual McDonalds. It's been 4 years now (I think). It's all principal now. I look at saying Chipotle is owned by McDonalds is the same thing as saying Taco Bell, KFC, Pizza Hut and Long John Silvers are all owned by the same company. Ok, sure, but different food (and I don't eat at any of them).

Oh ya, I can, and do on a regular basis. But there is something about Chipotle. It's like crack. In a bol. Their portions are so big that it's 3 meals and sometimes 3 meals and a snack for me. And while I can get amazing burritos and mexican food I also enjoy a burrito from Del Taco. It's all a matter of what kind of Mexican I'm in the mood for.

I'm hooked on veggie Pad Thai and veggie rolls from the local sushi joint.

I want to try one just to see. It's so awful sounding! Must try for myself!

But now I'm actually craving pad thai. But I don't feel like cleaning myself up enough to go get some.

That picture of the KFC bowl is in my photobucket account and it makes me ill everytime I see it. Ugh!

This is also my position. Every time I see the commercial I think... ugh.. thats so catering to a trailer trash mentality. (sorry if that offends)
I have no interest in trying it.

I like my kfc seperate thanks.

I'm also one of those people who doesn't like to mix up their food very much. I'm not anal where I don't like food touching at all, but I don't like mixing up my corn and mashed potatoes etc. The one exception is rice and beans at a Mexican restaurant, I love mixing those together...
