Foods you love but shouldn't

[SGlass]

Anthony Bourdain of “No Reservations” once said that he really likes the Mac & Cheese at KFC. It’s his favorite “guilty pleasure”

Now here’s a guy who graduated from the Culinary Institute of America, worked as a chef at some really great restaurants and now gets to travel all over the world and eat better than 99% of us. Now he’s by no means a “food snob”. He’ll tell you he loves everything from foie gras and Kobe beef to refried beans. He really loves Pho which is almost a “peasant dish” in Vietnam.

So, my question is -

What’s your “guilty pleasure”? What foods do you love but shouldn’t?

I’ll start with mine –
The 2 tacos for $.99 at Jack-in-the-Box
Chili dog at Wienerschnitzel – No cheese and not the Angus Beef. I’m talking the $1.35 dog

I wouldn't consider the Vietnamese pork chops to be a guilty pleasure.

In my opinion, a guilty pleasure needs to be something that is like frozen, full of artificial flavorings and preservatives, full of fat, from a fast food chain and stuff like that.

Taco Bell Burrito Supremes-

Back in my drinking days, they were the perfect post-closing time meal. I don't get juiced anymore, but man I can't pass up those "belch-bombs"!

I know it's not from this area. But I once ate 30 whitecastle burgers. Heck if we are out of TX already better add an Animalized In and Out burger.

A guilty pleasure restaurant has to be Techniques formerly Ventanas. You can have the French Cuisine for 1/10th the price.
