    Guga, I used to work for Pizza Hut. The reason why it was discontinued was because it wasn't " already made ". It was precooked yes but not already made. There was this " tool " that looked like a big ring that was used to press down onto only the outer edges of the dough and cut them into strip segments, then the piggies were placed in the center of each segment and rolled individually. The same tool was used to make the cheese only version by placing 2 inch cheese sticks in each cut segment of the dough and rolling them individually. The reason they were both discontinued ( or at least made seasonal only ) was because of the time it took to make them. It was very time consuming and couldn't meet the demand.

    I worked for Pizza Hut when the Hot Dog Bites pizza was being sold. Two things - One, it came off the menu because they sold poorly and most people thought it was a joke (we sold at most one a day on average). Two, that's actually not how we made it. We had long hot dogs that we used to make a stuffed crust, then we used a special set of rings to cut the crust into the bites that we then rotated so they'd be easier to pull off and you could see the hot dog. Honestly, they were really labor-intensive compared to a regular pizza and I really disliked making them.

    The McLobster is still around, but it's only in New England, and only in locations that are close to a ready supply of cheap, _processed_ lobster. If the lobster has to travel more than 10-15 miles, or can't be purchased already processed, cleaned and chopped, then it's not happening. This means it's also seasonal, but since lobster is in season during *tourist* season, that's when you'll see it. It's also entirely at the discretion of the store manager. Port towns like Gloucester, Portsmouth or Portland are where you have a chance to find it. Also, I noticed that you are using Kewpie Mayo. That's going to be a HUGE improvement.

      90% correct.
      It was much less of a concern to lose the handful of Catholics who actually abstain from meats on Fridays than it was to lose the patronage of the much larger portion of Christians as a whole who abstain for six weeks during Lent. It's the same reason a lot of chicken places down south will put out seasonal seafood items on their menus.
      I believe it was for this reason that Taco Bell briefly added shrimp tacos and burritos to their menu.

      one ingredient thats impossible to recreate at home is the mayo that restaurants use, the flavor profile is called “Heavy Duty Mayo”. not only is it a better thicker consistancy than typical storebought or homemade mayo, but “Heavy Duty” is a secret generic flavor profile that is formulated to be the best tasting mayo. mayo is a complex balance of ingredients and only the commercial machines get a consistant result and flavor that people want. heavy duty mayo only comes in massive tubs for restaurant use, so its really a gatekept ingredient that commercial chefs have in their arsenal to help elevate sandwiches and have a superior base for sauces. i wouldve liked to see the mcdonald’s snack wrap in this video because honestly a key ingredient is the mayo, not just the chicken and flour tortilla.
