Hell, if you're feeling gluttonous ours even has the Mt. Italy...

Arby's | Mount Italy

Looks amazing, but I've tried a Meat Mountain before and couldn't even hurt a quarter of it (while hurting my jaw from the necessary attempt to be a boa constrictor), so I know the fates already on it for me.

From working at Arby's, those meat mountains used irregular portions. I would take them all and put it on a hoagie with aujus and mayo.
Good times.

And news of this just hit my Inbox, I think I know my lunch plans:

Arby's | Smoked Italian Porchetta

Looks even better than their Italian that was great.

Edit: Got it about 90 min later - not sure if I'd say it's better than the Loaded Italian - but definitely at least on par with it, another top notch fast food item.

I tried this out based on your post, and would agree its good, nothing really to add there.

The only reason I'm posting is because it was served to me by a blue-haired trannie with Kevin on his name tag. It felt very FoH, I give the whole experience 4.5 Mippos.

My first ex wife was Italian. Porchetta (porketta as they call it) is just an Italian, heavily seasoned pork shoulder roast. It's pretty good, it's awesome cold as left overs and made as a sammich.

Anyone have luck with the new Lay's chip flavors? None of the stores near me have stocked them yet. The chicks who made the Crispy Taco and Everything Bagel flavors are pretty good looking.

They've got them at Publix out here - grabbed the Everything Bagel - they're quite solid, legit to the taste of an everything bagel - the difference in texture though is a tad confusing lol

Bagel for Publix out here were in the row only since they're Kettle Cooked - whereas the others they endcapped since they're regular. Not sure if your stores would do similar.

I guess I spoke too soon. I stopped by a store on the way home from work today and they had just stocked the Crispy Taco and Everything Bagel so I picked both up.

I think the Everything Bagel is good, but it has a really, really subtle flavor. It's almost like you're just tasting the pure potato chip. Maybe it's that they aren't salty? Not sure, but I like them nonetheless.

Crispy Taco is pretty good, too. Basically tastes like they dumped a packet of ortega taco seasoning in a bag of bbq potato chips.

Had the Sweet Cayenne Queso Chicken Bacon Biscuit at Bojangles
Devoured it lol.
A pleasant amount of cheese remained in the wrapper.
It's not a typical queso. It's kind of like liquid Combos (those pretzel things) mixed with Cheez-Whiz
(It would do well on Taco Bell items)
I'm enjoying the lingering after taste

Anyone ever had Bush's Chicken? I see two in the Phoenix area but don't know anyone who has had it or if it's any good.

I don't know about going down on a chicken with a Bush, do you have to shave it yourself or is that extra?

You don't go down on a chicken, you choke it.

My grandma called them dindu-toes. Mom tells a story about before she passed and was pretty old my mom took her to the grocery to get a few things and she said super loud "where are the dindu-toes!"

Cannolis? Discuss.

I have never had a good one, but there is always somebody that insists I try it.
Just now. Worthless. 1.25/10

Cannolis are overrated desserts. Is it cheese? Is it a dessert? Make up your mind.

The reason you've never had a good one is probably because every mom and pop pizza/Italian place you've gotten one from has ordered from the same Sysco warehouse or whatever.

Homemade cannolis can be good, but they're still weird ass desserts.

I've had decent ones and horrible ones, they're easy to fuck up just like chicken.
