Has TGI Friday's lost their mind?
 

I just saw a commercial advertising three new appetizers. Two of them are just weird.

FRIED mac & cheese and string bean fries??? WTF?

Are they trying to comepete with Pizza Hut and Taco Bell's weird food combos?

I saw the commercial for the first time yesterday and thought it was a joke. Apparently not, though, which mildly disturbs me.

You need more flair.

THANK YOU. The husband and I saw the commercial the other night. It looked really nasty.

I just saw the commercial 10 minutes ago (while DH was watching "The Man Show") and all I could say is:
That is SO WRONG!

They're just doing their part to contribute to the growing obesity problem of America. :rolleyes:

WHYOWHY do restaurants feel that everything tastes better when it's deep fried?!

Because it's true? Almost everything tastes good grilled also. But, I don't think grilled mac and cheese will turn out too well. :eek:

I admit that I like fried cauliflower. :) I tried it at a belly dance show a long time ago. I keep forgetting to make some at home.

My mom makes fried cauliflower all the time. It rocks. I really don't see why everything that can be cooked has to also be deep-fried. A restaurant in NYC has deep fried cheesecake on their dessert menu. They really had to have thought about it "hmm, what could we possibly do to cheesecake to make it any more fattening than it already is?" I got it! Deep fry it!"

I've actually seen fried mac and cheese before - there are a couple of places that sell them in little tater-tot style pockets. Pretty good, although you'd need to run 100 miles to burn the calories in just one of those things.

You just dip them in flour and throw them in a frying pan, right?

I don't know about fried cheesecake (don't really like the dessert in the first place), but I love fried ice cream! They only serve it at Casa Gallardo, in my area. How the hell do you fry ice cream? I don't know.

Grilled mac and cheese is actually pretty good. You just have to have a very thick consistency of cheese.

However, fried mac and cheese sounds disgusting.

This is not the worse thing I've ever heard of being deep fried. Each year at our state fair I'm scared to see what comes next. So far we have deep fried twinkies, oreos and pickles. :confused:

One of the few resturants that I can walk to sells fried cheesecake bites. But then again, everything in WV is fried.

One of two ways (or a combo):

A) It's not really fried, it's basically rolled in crunched-up cornflakes, but it really does taste fried

or

B) They keep the ice cream at WAAAY below normal temps (as in you could hammer nails with it) and fry it for about 1.9484 seconds.

Husband's family has worked in Mexican restaurants.

I've tried Deepfried Snickers. Talk about NASTY. I thought I was going to have a heart attack after the first bite. I threw the rest away.
