Spending the 4th Eating Garbage

I didn't end up doing anything on Independence Day this year, at least nothing special. Since I was going to waste the day anyhow, I thought I should at least eat some fast food: a truly American past time. On top of that, why not go to Sonic again, since it is "America's Drive-In".

I love spicy stuff and was going to get this new Blazin' BBQ burger, which sounded pretty amazing considering it has fried jalapeno, regular jalapeno, habenero sauce and pepperjack cheese... but I was suffering from a hangover and the thought of all that spice made my stomach start filing papers to get clearance from my esophagus for "reverse digestion". So I went with "The Ring Leader" instead, which is basically a bacon cheeseburger with grilled onions, and an onion ring. Honestly, I would've preferred a normal burger, but since I started this blog I'm making myself try new things.

Despite it looking like shit (most fast food does), it was so-so. Wait, I take that back, the onion ring situation made it kinda gross. I'm not a connoisseur of onion rings or anything, but I didn't like this at all. The breading on it was doughy, like a piece of bread that wasn't cooked enough. So that taste just spread across my tongue when I bit into it and then the onion slipped out of the fried coating, like onion rings always do... it was a fucking mess. I can't even remember tasting or seeing the grilled onions either, maybe they're what really made it taste strange? Who knows.

Overall, this burger is almost complete bullshit though. I mean, can you really expect anything good to come of this idea? Fried stuff needs to be on it's own, not sandwiched in between greasy ass cheese and meat on a bun. I should've gotten the BBQ one instead, lesson learned.
