    Holy God, that's the worst idea I've ever heard. Nobody on this Earth needs to eat more than 1 serving of Taco Bell in one sitting. NOBODY.

    As far as changes, the avocado thing is a great one. Subway would be exponentially better if they offered avocados. It's what makes Jimmy John's and Quizno's great.

    I'd love it if Chipotle stop putting cilantro on EVERYTHING, especially the rice.

    I know they have guacamole, but I don't think they have plain avocados.

    Must be a regional thing? They have guacamole for sure.

    That's the point....I would pay for high quality, quick food from reputable places. I'm not going to eat **** just because it's 99 cents.

    As long as all the annoying liberal hippies are inside them when it happens, it's a deal.

    Which brings up another peeve of mine. Who IN THE HELL was the person who thought putting rice in a burrito was a good idea? I want to punch them in the baby.

    Just a cheap gimmick to make the burrito bigger. I hate it. Everytime someone tries to put rice in my burrito, I spit on them.

    I always thought Eatzi's fit that bill. Unfortunately, they're not around anymore.

    I wish most Mexican places offered you the option of getting a small salad (with avocado, maybe) with your dish instead of only offering rice and refried beans. I realize that it isn't going to cut the fat by much (kind of like ordering a Diet Coke with your Cholesterol enchilada) but it would be nice.

    I also wish more Mexican places offered more flexibility with their combination plates. For example, instead of having 2 combo plates with set option, just offer a "mix" plate that allows you to pick any combination of tacos, enchiladas, burritos or chile rellenos.

    That would be a threat to public safety.

    I noticed the title said "Restaurants" not just fast food places. Speaking very personally my local bar, http://www.tracyssaloon.com/, used to be more of a dive (laminated single sheet menus, greasy fried fish sandwiches) but has gone more upscale as the neighborhood gentrified. I would like to see it going back to being a dive.

    Jerry: I think your taking the trash out for this chicken place, but that couldn't be.

    Seth: Yea, I'm the new manager

    Jerry: But you were an executive, this is fast food.

    Seth: Not fast food, good food served quickly.

    I love how the title of this thread says "restaurants" but all anyone can think about around here is fast food. What a joke our society is concerning nutrition. It's embarassing.

    All fast food spots should adopt the Whataburger ketchup bucket instead of packets.

    No more microwaves at Burgerking please!!!!!!!!!!!

    It seems like every other time I get a Whooper it was zapped. I understand it gets cold, but just do what Mcdonalds does and store the patties in a hotbox after you cook them.

    As for the people who are anti-fast food, get over yourself :)

    All eateries should have comfortable chairs, booths, etc. for people like me with bad backs. I go to places I don't particularly like just because they have a place where I can sit and not hurt at the same time.
