Although everyone enjoys eating food, I still think it’s underrated. Well, most of it anyways. Some of it is also overrated for sure, it’s not just food either, but food joints and restaurants.
I know what you’re thinking, this is such an inappropriate topic to confront considering the risks of losing friends and loved ones. Well, I apologize, but I feel the sudden need to express my opinion whether they agree with me or not (I know I know, I’m so independent now). Being a student at a school where you eat strictly cafeteria food, you gain an appreciation and almost an obsession with homemade or restaurant food- It’s pretty much all I’ve been able to think about this past week. Anyways, If you’re reading this- I hope we can continue to get along despite our disagreements.
#1 most overrated food: spaghetti.
Picture this: You’re in a fancy restaurant. The dim strung lights and sparkling chandeliers reflect in the large tinted windows. The silk white table cloths complement the neatly folded black cloth napkins. You sit in your comfortable cushioned chair carved from only the finest wood from the finest tree from the finest part of the world. Oh, the elegance! You tremble as you pick up the smooth leather menu- knowing, hoping, praying, that it consists of only the best of foods known to man. And what’s the first thing you read? Freaking spaghetti! THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE A 5 STAR RESTAURANT PEOPLE! My question is, how could spaghetti even be on the same menu with Smoked Ricotta Tortellini? Like what midlife crisis was this poor soul going through to actually think that would be exceptionable? Spaghetti is not a 5 star dish, in fact, I’d give it solid 2 stars.
Most overrated restaurant: taco bell.
Okay, so this is where the tension intensifies, but it’s time the truth comes out. Taco Bell isn’t even a 3 on the spectrum of 1-10, (10 being amazing) and everyone basically worships it. I find it disturbing when I ask the question, “what’s your favorite restaurant?”, and I get the disappointing answer, “Taco Bell.” I’m always left wondering the same baffled question: why? Like out of every restaurant there is, why on earth would you choose Taco Bell to be ranked #1 in your life? Have you not been to literally any other restaurant?
#1 most underrated food: sushi.
Sushi gets absolutely no credit for being the best food. I seriously believe that if you don’t enjoy at least one kind of roll, there is something clinically wrong with you (not literally of course). The taste, texture, and everything is just wow. If you live in Hattiesburg, I recommend Yamato (great restaurant) to get sushi and start by getting the “Shaggy Dog” roll. Shrimp tempura topped with spicy crab (it’s not that spicy though) piled on top of every piece and drizzled with amazing sauce. It’s crunchy, yet soft and i’m going to stop describing it because i’m making myself hungry. But seriously, just go try it. 5/5 stars. If you live in Brookhaven, I recommend Little Tokyo, and while I’ve only gone there once, the roll I had was superb- as most sushi is. It was called the “Bam Bam roll” and I’d give it a solid 4/5 stars. I’ve had many sushi rolls in my life though, so it’s hard for them to make it up to 5 stars. Anyways, with all that being said, sushi is the most underrated food.
#1 most underrated restaurant: Wendy’s.
I’ve heard many people complain about the taste of the food at this wonderful restaurant and I really can’t comprehend why. I don’t think I’ve ever had anything there that was below 3 stars, yet people don’t understand how truly great it is. you can get 4 exquisite items for the low price of $4! That’s a darn good taste for a darn good price. I don’t see how people disregard so blindly its great attributes. Really and truly, I’d give this restaurant 4/5 stars overall. Some occasions 5 🙂
Okay guys, that’s all I have for now. Thanks for reading, I hoped you enjoyed these probably scientific facts.
Nothing in this but FAX.
I adored this. The language and the flow and the voice all resonated with me deeply. I did, in fact, enjoy these scientific facts a great deal, so thank you for choosing to write about this. I also have gained an obsession for good food, and I ponder the golden elements of the universe such as tacos 24-7. Although I like Taco Bell, it is not my favorite restaurant, so I can not disagree too much. Nothing against the chain, but I appreciate more authentic Mexican food. I also agree that Wendy’s is underrated and that spaghetti is glorified too much. All in all, you have made me hungry, and now I want sushi. I like sushi too. But about your writing, I found it incredibly funny, and it was so fun to read. I personally love ranting about food. Food is literally life itself. I want to hear more scientific facts, please. (:
I one hundred percent agree with Wendy’s being underrated. They are truly are a high quality fast food restaurant. My sister worked there for exactly a week and she told me it really is all fresh, but Katie don’t hate on Taco Bell. It slaps you just got to know what to order! lol
“you can get 4 exquisite items for the low price of $4!”
Love this! Spaghetti is terrible, but so is sushi 🤷♀️
Story Time:Okay, so I have this hate for taco bell. It has been ongoing for like 6 years now. I saw this image, and I was like gross. Then the last time I ate there I got sick. So I do think Taco Bell is overrated.
