In the 1970s , Taco John's had a tasty Taco Burger and the Chili Beef Enchilada!!!! 🤤👍 Also Wendy's had a fresh Chicken Caesar Garden Pita Sandwich in the 80s & 90s. Awesomeness!!!❤😢Miss them all!!!

Two items I miss - Wendy's had (I believe it was during limited times only) a country fried steak sandwich that was amazing. The other one I wish we could see again is the Fajita Wrap from Taco Bell. Those were the best things ever on Taco Bell's menu. I actually stopped going to Taco Bell for a while when they got rid of those.

Burger King used to have a Veal Parmiagiana sandwich. It was SO good!!! A sub bun, with a breaded cutlet, melted mozzarella, parmesan and marinara sauce. As much as I love the Whopper, this sandwich was my favourite!!!

Now the OG/ old school fast food chains seem to be fading into .. well, fading. They are trapped by that past streamlining etc., and all 'better' items which were discontinued way back.
I loved Wendy's Frescata sandwiches. They were really good when I got tired of burgers not to mention they were pretty big too.
I won't be surprised if some of the menu items do return when robots are the new fast food cooks.

Loved the McDLT but I always thought they should have put the cheese on the hot side. Cold fresh lettuce and tomatoes good, cold unmelted cheese not so much.
Taco bells chilli cheese burrito, firito burrito, mini chicken quesadilla, reaper ranch taco, MCd,s big n tasty, the batman burger, their ham biscuit....I'm old and sad now...amazing after eating this kinda food.

The Burger King Yumbo that I remember from the 70's was shredded ham mixed with melted cheddar cheese - and nothing else - on a Whopper bun. It was incredible! The so-called "yumbo" of 2014 was the one on a hoagie bun...
Chik fil A had unbreaded chicken in sandwiches. Not from childhood. And long before they greatly expanded into (forbidden zone?) here in NYC lol.
We just got Jack in the Box in Louisville, KY and they have the fries and rings together.
I worked at McDonalds as a teenager when the Mc DlLT was launched , my lunch everyday. No one remembers this when I mention it!
Great great job on this video. There's a ton of items on here that I've never heard of or either I forgotten about. I was a teenager working at McDonald's though when the Mc DLT came out. It was a pain in the butt to prepare lol. We were just passing around a picture at work of McDonald's menu from the early 90s where you could get a big Mac combo for $2.99 lol
Mc DLT at that time was a really good burger option the tasted a little more grown up for McDonalds. Chicken Littles, I gobbled down those things like they were candy. One sandwich missing here was the original chicken supreme from Jack in the Box I miss eating those after last call at the clubs.
All McDonald's had to do was change the damn packaging from Styrofoam to paper. They did that with MANY items. Their current menu has so many less options than it used to that I very rarely ever eat there. They got rid of everything I liked! The price has gone up and the quality and choice has gone way down! It's the same story with EVERY fast food restaurant.
McDonald's original apple pies with the crunchy pastry, and McRib when done right.
First thing I bought at 13 years old with my first paycheck was McDonald's. Then JK Gill clothes. I'm 50 years old now. It would take my whole paycheck to buy a happy meal.

What's disappeared is the REAL whopper. In 1972 a whopper was about 5" across and now a whopper is not only hamburger size, they are almost always luke warm when you get it. The big BK has really dropped in quality. It's a shame, but I don't see how they stay in business. On a side note, the Gino Giant was a killer burger back in 1972.

TacoBell used to have a taco light..it was a crispy flour shell taco with sourcream. I ate it as a teenager. It was supposed to be healthier, but I liked the flavor and the fact that it didnt hurt my mouth as I had braces at the time.
The Burger King Yumbo I remember from the 70s was on a round bun and they were sooooo good. I missed their later attempts at the Yumbo but I'm betting it was probably not the same as the 70s version.

You reminded me of McDonald’s McArch. It was one of their best tasting burgers! I wish they bring it back!
I was going to be mad if I didn't see the arch deluxe. I miss that burger so much. Ordered it all the time as a kid.
One of my favorites was the Big N' Tasty at McDonalds.
I liked McDonald's Arch Deluxe and often ordered it. I was also a HUGE fan of the short lived w9raaps! I was told that the wraps too too long to prepare and that was what killed them.
I have news for fast food chains...they are NOT any faster or more efficient than they used to be! They just charge more for crappier quality and for less choice. I rarely go to any of them anymore! They have FADED from my diet almost completely!
From early childhood until age of 56 I loved fast foods.This lead to poor health, obesity, uncontrolled diabetes.Thank God, since 2012 I have not eaten fast foods, maintain a weight of 173 lbs. have decent health and am grateful..
Mc DLT was a great burger. I hope it makes a comeback. Mc Donald's makes everything to order today.
Wendy’s for 4 bucks you could get so many different things, pasta, taco’s and mix abd matching everything
OMG The original White Castle Turkey Burger❗ Crispy, buttery AMAZINGNESS❗Simple perfection and it boggles my mind why they got rid of it. I want it back❗Lol
Burger Chef will always be a fast food company I miss the most.
Ok, so whenever a fast food chain tries to go beyond burger with lettuce and tomato service time and complexity goes up which ultimately leads to phase out. Still they constantly try those new concepts only to discontinue them after a while.
At 6:00 I watch the enough Law and Order: SVU to recognize Stabler when I see him!! 😂

Burger King had a really good chicken parm in the 80's as well as burger bundles and chicken bundles which were 3 sliders. The chicken bundles were basically just a larger chicken nugget on a small bun with a splash of mayo. They were sooooo good. I used to inhale these things. I would give anything for just 1 chicken bundle today!
