Triple-thick bacon at Chili's

thesloppy · 03-28-2008, 10:21 AM

Has anybody seen the ad for this stuff?

I mean, I'd be the first guy to tell you that Chili's is just some kind of tex-mex Denny's, but I'll be damned if those ads don't make me salivate. They're throwing big old slabs of super-bacon straight on the grill, by God, and sprinkling some kind of toppinz on there....cripes, I want some NOW!

Cringer · 03-28-2008, 10:25 AM

I will watch for the add as I watch Zombie Honeymoon. It is a romatic tale of a woman who tries to adapt to the new behavior of her husband after an encounter with a zombie leaves him in a similar state. This movie has triple-thick bacon add written all over it.

MikeVic · 03-28-2008, 10:25 AM

Denny's is awful. I actually liked the Chili's I've been to.

Pumpy Tudors · 03-28-2008, 10:26 AM

I haven't seen the commercials for it, but I stumbled upon some of that bacon at Chili's a couple of weeks ago, and it really is super thick.

Dr. Sak · 03-28-2008, 10:28 AM

I had the burger at Chili's...the bacon was just too much. I thought the burger would be better with thinner bacon.

ISiddiqui · 03-28-2008, 10:28 AM

I've had these bacon strips on burgers... OH MAN, it is as good as the commerical makes it out to be. Thick and tasty.

thesloppy · 03-28-2008, 10:34 AM

I want to know if you really CAN put bacon on the grill, and if so why have I bothered eating anything else?

Passacaglia · 03-28-2008, 10:38 AM

Shouldn't it be called Triply-thick bacon?

Talking like that about bacon could get your bsak revoked.

VPI97 · 03-28-2008, 10:42 AM

This thread made me go to Chilis.com to see what it was that you guys were talking about. Wow. I'm going there for lunch.

Denny's is only good after a long night of drinking.

path12 · 03-28-2008, 11:35 AM

About 12 years ago I spent a week at spring training in Phoenix. One late night after two baseball games and a ton of drinking my wife at the time and I ended up at Denny's around midnight. I'm sitting there, bedraggled and half drunk, smoking a cigarette and wearing a Mariner cap, and the waitress came over and asked me if I played for the team. In all seriousness. One of life's absurd moments. Just wanted to share.

stevew · 03-28-2008, 11:39 AM

Denny's slamburger is awesome. 6 bucks for a half pound burger topped with hashbrowns, cheese sauce and a drippy egg served with fries.

When you're drunk, it's heaven.

my thoughts exactly. and I'm a bacon freak.

thesloppy · 03-28-2008, 11:59 AM

So like, what happens at that point....you turn to your friends and say "there's too much bacon on here." and you take off the bun and remove a few pieces of bacon, and then your penis just falls off or does it crawl up inside????

ISiddiqui · 03-28-2008, 12:05 PM

You people are nuts. I loved the thick bacon. Nice bit of crunch as well.

Yeah seriously....WHATS WRONG GOLDILOCKS!?! THIS PORRIDGE TOO HOT FOR YA? IS IT? HUH?

thesloppy · 03-28-2008, 12:23 PM

On second thought, this is just the kind of person you want to go to Chili's with, as it increases the likelihood of building your own massive sextuple-bacon monstrosity.

MizzouRah · 03-28-2008, 12:45 PM

What's the facination with bacon in this country all of a sudden? Every freaking commercial tops their food product off with some bacon!!

WTF people!!! We are killing too many pigs!!

ISiddiqui · 03-28-2008, 12:47 PM

It's an anti-Muslim thing

Subby · 03-28-2008, 12:48 PM

Bacon is pretty close to the perfect food. It tastes great and it is good for you, too.

cartman · 03-28-2008, 12:52 PM

One of the most perfect foods ever is Chicken Fried Bacon.

Talk to me when you've eaten two Quadstackers from Burger King in a 20 minute period without having a heartattack.

thesloppy · 03-28-2008, 02:54 PM

Man...I do a multitude of questionable things on a weekly, daily and momentary basis. Eating at BK is NOT one of them.

I salute you?

This was a one time thing. It was a running joke between my friends and I about eating quadstackers. So we were drunk one night and went on a BK run. Haven't been back since.

thesloppy · 03-28-2008, 03:25 PM

Burger King 'frame broiling' = some 15 year old spraying lighter fluid on my burger patty. At this point it's almost cliche to hear about McDonalds in other countries , but are we forcing the King on other countries? Is that really fair to developing cultures? The paper thin onions, translucent bacon and propane flavored shoe-soles could crumble a fragile society.

Now Popeye's is another matter. I could eat a mountain of Popeye's. If we could somehow stuff some Popeyes with the tri-bacon, get me half a dozen of them biscuits, 5 or 6 various sides and one of those lime slushies from Sonic, and I could probably find Osama in an hour or two, fueled by good old American grease.

BK is the second largest global fast-food brand, trailing only McDonald's. A quick Google indicates it's also the largest fast food brand in some nations, including Mexico & Spain.

Yep, as he would just walk up to you to see why there was some American outside wretching uncontrollably on the ground. Popeye's is some nasty shit, as in starving stray dogs would take a pass on it.

Lathum · 03-28-2008, 03:59 PM

I just saw the commercial for this. That bacon looks like something I would give my dog.

Passacaglia · 03-28-2008, 04:02 PM

ooh, but the Spicy Chicken sandwich at BK is so so good...

stevew · 03-28-2008, 04:03 PM

I love popeye's. Too bad the people that work there are only one step away from turning into the Hardees fucktards.

WTF?

Chili's isn't Tex-Mex anything. That is one of the weirdest comments I've ever read.

And Denny's is good for one thing: getting your caloric intake for the entire weekend done on Saturday morning. Sometimes I'll take the family to Denny's on a Saturday morning after my daughter's soccer game or whatever. I'll get the Meat Lover's Slam and my wife and two girls will order their food. After I finish mine I will finish theirs. And voila, no more eating until snacking on Sunday night.

Izulde · 03-28-2008, 04:07 PM

I now actually have a reason to try Chili's out.

They're from Texas, every other item on the menu is drenched in some kind of bastard fusion-salsa, and there's a mammoth honking chile pepper on the top of every damn restaurant....that's not even close in your book?

Not really, as "Tex-Mex" is often used as a synonym for "Southwestern cuisine", and that's definitely Chili's bent.

You've got to be kidding. I've yet to find anything at Popeye's that I'd be comfortable feeding a dog. It's overcooked, overgreased, overspiced, barely human consumption grade and it's stretches the definition of the word "food" pretty much to the breaking point.

Now Bojangles on the other hand ...

thesloppy · 03-28-2008, 04:29 PM

cartman · 03-28-2008, 04:37 PM

About the only menu item in common between Chili's and a Tex-Mex place would be the fajitas. No way you are ever getting a burger or baby back ribs at a Tex-Mex place.

thesloppy · 03-28-2008, 04:38 PM

I'm pretty sure the Pacific NW is widely considered the cradle of soul food.

Oh no wait, I meant tofu.

what about southwest eggrolls? Quesidillas?

Chilies has a very good spicy black bean burger

thesloppy · 03-28-2008, 04:56 PM

I feel the Chilis = "Tex-Mex Denny's" analogy is strong, and the surprising amount of resistance can only point to some sort of nefarious TGI Friday's misinformation campaign.

We had ribs and burgers at the last tex mex place I worked. Granted it was more tex than mex.

Kodos · 03-28-2008, 05:07 PM

Let's be reasonable, folks. The Outback is the only restaurant we need.

MizzouRah · 03-28-2008, 05:09 PM

I would eat Popeye's ANYDAY over that "worst chicken ever" place they call Church's.

I don't know why, but the Walmart here in Troy has some damn good chicken.
