This is exactly what I think about these 'changes' are about. Their C-level probably decided a few years ago that the menu was too bloated and that they needed to cut down on costs which meant everything that wasn't made with beef and all cheese that wasn't their cheap ass nacho shit. They are probably justifying it by saying that it is tacos and burritos that got them big and that the other items are expensive and not as popular. What they are missing is that every single poster in this thread has a different favorite specialty item that they go for and then fill out the order with regular cheap items. When the specialty items are gone then we are all gone and they sell 0 cheap items. My visits have dropped 90% since there is no double decker taco. How many extra things are they selling me?

So, the signature food of my hometown (Halifax) is what's called a Donair. It's a spin on the classic Gyro/Doner. Essentially it's a spiced meat (typically beef, sometimes lamb) served in a pita with onions, tomatoes, and some other options. The accompanying donair sauce is a really sweet sauce made from evaporated milk, sugar, vinegar, and garlic powder.
It became so popular here that they even make Donair Pizza
People often slather it in the donair sauce, or just dip their slices into it.
Donairs are the ultimate drunk food. It's greasy as fuck, and you will pay for it out of your ass the next day.
The reason I'm writing this though is that it has now evolved into something new... Something so fantastic that I can hardly believe it...
Donair poppers. Essentially chicken nuggets but with donair meat in place of the chicken... and holy fuck are they tasty. I just had some that I was dipping into Sweet Thai Chili dip. Unffff

Plenty of gyro places like this in the Greater Boston area.That shit looks amazing. Then again one of the things I miss the most from living in Germany was the Doner's - Again another type of fast food joint that should be all over America would make a fucking killing.

For good or bad, I live pretty close to a heavily-populated Arabic area. Freshly baked Pita and gyros are abundant (as are a number of low-end fried chicken places). I love fresh lamb kabob and lamb gyros with hot sauce and tzatziki... Arab tzatziki is not quite up to speed with Greek tzatziki, but it is still good.
Just note that I've had Gyros and while they are the same concept: Donairs taste very different. Largely due to the different sauce, but the spices used for the meat is different as well. Imagine stripping out pretty much everything from a gyro, making it spicier, making it greasy as fuck, and then slathering it in a sauce that screams "this is going to make me fat". Or, imagine the donair being the masculine version of the feminine gyro.
Most Nova Scotians that travel for any period of time always talk about how it's impossible to find anything like them. Even other Canadian cities can't manage to make them right.
You can try out the sauce for yourself easily enough. It's really simple

Sacrilege for the thread, but I've been trying to lose a few lbs, just 5-10 adjusting back to a low effort job.
Not healthy but am enjoying some good tastes at the cost of volume. Tonight I was pretty happy with just that tonkatsu ramen with a few slices of thick cut bacon crumbled in it.
Getting refamiliarized with easy snack or meals that isn't sweet tasty garbage. My jam right now to hold me out to a real meal is $1 pack of flavored Tuna, usually Thai chili on a saline with a dribble of cholula is working pretty well at buying me a couple hours before I'm hungry again.
I wish meat was cheaper because I don't get how bitches can eat a banana for lunch and be good til dinner.

In a sitting, probably 12. But the odds would be high that I'd finish them and immediately get up to make more. It's the type of food that would unlikely last a day in my house.

Probably already know, but buying meat at Costco is usually the go-to
Can also try intermittent fasting. I had some results with that
