"You only get one shot when you go with big items,"

Taco Bell expands its test market for the waffle taco. Breakfast, the new new thing for them.

How's that for bathos, the sudden descent from the sublime to the ridiculous?  I meant to say American just now. From lamb by Palladian to waffle taco by Taco Bell in one fell swoop.

Taco Bell. Score!

Taco Bell came from the breakup of AT&T.

(1) I had scrambled eggs for breakfast this morning, three, as usual.

I never have carbs in the morning but there was a bag of leftover club rolls on the counter so I said, "What the fuck?"

A tasty, tasty egg sammich was the result.

(2) So I went down to the basement to do my morning exercises, as usual.

I wear a wristwatch heart monitor that calculates calories burned but I never use that function but I said, "What the fuck?"

A fairly respectable 160 calories burned was the result.

(3) So I went back to the kitchen counter to look at the nutritional label on the bag of leftover club rolls.

A single roll was 170 calories, which meant I was still down by 10 for my indulgence.

I said, "What the fuck!"

There's a food stand in Portland that I went to a month or so ago. This exact idea. Probably much better. Fresh made, maple syrup soaked waffles folded around a variety of ingredients. I had the sausage one. A friend had the waffle and chicken. Good stuff.

The definition of jumping the shark.

Yeah, I thnk that could be done well although it would be tough to get the waffle right (crispy enough but also bendable.)

Unless that waffle has syrup in it, it won't beat a McGriddle with ketchup, no eggs or cheese.

Cheer up, MitchBat. Life can't be so bad that you have to toss out three WTF's first thing in the morning.

I thought the same Michael.

I could eat that, but I don't think a waffle adds anything except pointless excess--which I guess is the point.

We are capable of amazing things.

Is this one of them?

I'll let you decide.

The waffle of excess leads to the taco of wisdom.

I love that you used the word "bathos".

Love it. Very underused word. Mad props.

But if you made that at home, with a fresh waffle, a farm fresh scrambled egg (not over cooked) and some pork patty you grilled up...it would be awesome.
