The Steakle Creek Subito

SILVER MINE vs TACO BELL: who's better?

Why can't we just put our petty quarreling aside for a moment and just be friends? Anyway, with that aside, aside -- here's what I did.

I took the beauty and majesty of the Silver Mine Sub: Cripple Creek (Grilled Chicken Breast, Bacon, Provolone, Lettuce, Tomato, Ranch) and the Taco Bell Gordita Supreme (Warm, pillowy flatbread filled with seasoned steak, sour cream, shredded lettuce, a blend of three REAL cheeses [as opposed to the fake kind, i guess] – cheddar, pepper jack, and mozzarella – and diced tomatoes.) and I melded them in a Heavenly ballet suited for only the greatest of food connoisseurs. I was enough to make a grown man cry, and I did. It was beautiful.


A meal fit FOR TITANS! That is, because once you were finished, you felt like you were going to explode. It was surprisingly filling. The cripple creek and it's very crippling effect on hunger, is always very filling by itself. Then you add the delicious nacho-ness of the nacho cheese stake Gordita and you have yourself a feeling that somehow equates to post-Thanksgiving grubbery. That is to not be confused with rubbery, which is what happens when you try to eat a display sandwich from Silvermine.

I also tried this delectable sandwich with some of the hot sauce given to me as the Marine sitting behind me told war stories to impress the girl that he was with. They sounded more like stories i'd have from Scout Camp except with more words like "shooting" and "the" and "smart" -- as opposed to most Scout Camp stories that leave those words out. Especially the word "the" you can't tell a good Camp story with that word muckin' it all up.


Anyway, back to this meal of mammoth proportions!!

Yes fire sauce wrapper. This IS going to end with me eating you...

In fact, I almost didnt keep that cowering fire sauce wrappers delightful insight. I could hardly muscle down the second half of the cripple creek. Almost like that commercial where the guy gets kicked in the face by his chicken wing. Yeeeeess... it was pretty much the same.

So there I was, the sandwich kicking me in the face. I actually thought -- I SAID THOUGHT -- about saving the rest for leftovers. This meal was that monumental! It surprised me how filling it was after the first half of the sandwich. It was undeniably messy, I mean afterwords my fingers smelled like tacos and ranch. Which i am guessing is how Mexican ranches smell. What a delicious ranch to visit, as it were. Anyway, not surprising is how well the ranch and lettuce went together. I think there is some girly food with those ingredients. Anyway, what I loved most was the taste of the nacho cheese and the provolone, this was only amplified like a The Who concert when I tasted the chicken and the steak.

Even with that orchestra of flavor playing sweet hymns of love-a-byes as they went down my gullet, i still felt there was something missing. This is why i tried the hot sauce. It added, but it wasn't entirely what i was expecting. So if any of you have an idea, it'd be appreciated.

The best part about this meal is you can eat healthy and eat like crap at the same time!

Burger Taco

TACO

BURGER

Dare the two meet? Can they combine together to form one delicious treat?

INDEED THEY CAN!!!
This little delight has a very nice crunch from the taco shell and soft side tone from the bun. The two kinds of hamburger, the patties and the taco meat, make a nice contrast and make this a tasty treat. A little bit of "Fire" sauce would help by giving a little kick, but the ketchup from the burger was actually a nice bit of tomato-y goodness for this munchy morsel.

This is definitely a must eat.

Steak-French Fry Grilled Stuft Burrito



What do you get if you mix one of Taco Bell's best burritos with America's favorite french fry?


















What about a concoction that looks like this?!








This "little" delight was gooood. The fries were a pleasant, golden brightness that added to this lovely burrito. The fries did add a bit of starchiness to the end of the bite which was nice, but if you don't like starch it's a little heavy. Also, toward the end they got a little soggy from the ingredients in the burrito, but they did pick up the flavors around them which was a plus. Near the end of the burrito, the fries did get happy with some pico de galo in the burrito, which was fry heavenly bliss. These are fries, err...., burrito, OR BOTH, taken to a higher level!

Crunch Wrap and Potato Burrito

I had this Heaven-sent elixir of gloriousness last night. The sauce of the Potato burrito mixing with the sour cream of the Crunch Wrap was a new flavor experience. The nacho cheese in the Crunch Wrap combined with the Potato to create a delicious cheesy-fry taste.
The crunch of the lettuce and the hard shelled taco are the stamp on this delicious smorgasbord! The only thing that could make it possibly better is a side of nachos with more nacho cheese. I might even try putting some chips in the Crunch Wrap to make it crunchier -- though i would take caution in doing that. Releasing so much flavor into the natural world can't be a good thing.
Overall the flavors went very well together. I would be curious to try the Cheesy Bean and Rice Burrito with the crunch wrap, or unloading half a Grilled Stuff'd Burrito into a Crunch Wrap.
I really liked this combination.
