I'm convinced someone working there must've noticed it and notified corporate and removed it hastily from my life and I've held a grudge since. If you can recreate this missing link in my life, I will buy one of your books, and buy a plane ticket to wherever you are to sign it and eat Josh grilled stuffed nachos with you and leave without a trace.

      several of the good items that taco bell has dropped they reported as having dropped them because of the difficulty in making them. With the 7 layer burrito, I got it once and I liked it. I got it again when they were busy and it was built like a pack of fucking life savers. It's why they reportedly dropped that one burrito with just a line of nacho cheese in the center, among other things. I think it's why they originally dropped the mexican pizza too. They were like, bro this is fast food. We're supposed to be FAST. That takes time and effort to make.

    I swear Josh I LOVE your “but Better” videos! It's amazing how you can improve on foods that are made with the cheapest floor trimmings and saw dust just by adding some Miyazaki Wagyu beef or Jamon Iberico de Bellota! Toss in some white Alba Truffles or matsutake mushrooms. Sprinkle on some saffron and a touch of Aceto Balsamico Tradizionale why not? Showing us how easy it is while sipping on a cup of Kopi luwak and munching on mac n cheese made with Caciocavallo Podolico cheese. LOL! Just poking fun Man ;)
    Seriously- love the vids but apples to apples would be a nice change. Try making it BETTER but at the same price level. :D

      @@davidobrien8683 nah...just too much You Tube sitting in wonder how people can justify some of the cost of these glorified foods. I mean...Wagyu hotdogs...HOTDOGS? Don't even get me started on the poop coffee. Lol who thought of trying that for the first time? I heard of coffee desperation but damn!

    Dude, you’re insane, lol. I get that you can easily make any of these things better, but none of the restaurant versions are as bad as you make them out to be. Especially for the stoners among us.

      Right? Honestly, especially when he's doing burgers and stuff, it seems to me like he's specifically asking for the ones prepared by the worst employee in the kitchen. I've eaten my share of fastfood and rarely had anything that's looking anywhere near as gross as what he's getting on a regular basis.

      he exaggerates a lot of what he does
      whether he actually means it, who knows
      it's normal at this point

      @@greninjafw it’s honestly hard to tell, because he likes in-n-out and a few other fast food chains, but then shits on everything else. In-n-out is great, but it’s not like it’s leaps and bounds above everything else
