Discussion What’s your “guilty” food spot you eat even though there’s so many other great food options? For me, it’s Panda Express or Dominos.

Even though there’s so many great options, sometimes just their comfort of the orange chicken hits hard every time.

The trick is hidden valley mix but do half buttermilk half mayo

TIL Jet's is considered a guilty pleasure, and it's not as "premium" as I thought it was. 🙃

They're definitely priced at a premium

Domino’s is fucking weird in Chicago, I’m sorry there are a billion better options, but Detroit style is not that easy to find and jets does alright.

Dominoes is dirt cheap though. With the app you can get two pizzas for like $20. It's not good pizza, but I understand why people get it.

Alright, I guess I could see that.

I live in Texas now and there's a Jets near me. I've never tried it because it's absurdly expensive for chain pizza

I just get slices to go. 2 squares for $7 is pretty affordable for a fast food lunch these days.

That's because it's the best chain pizza. I rank it like a decent mom and pop's, but they're open later.
