Your Runza is Served

Ok, first of all, I'm not THAT obsessed with the Runza, but Jr and I were talking a few days ago and he asked if they were like most fast food place where what you actually get never looks even close to the advertising. They are fairly close, but not quite as stuffed full and the picture shows.

They do have their full menu online as well.

My wife is a little disappointed because the Runza we sometimes go to when we go to Kearney has "Cheesecake on a stick" which she loves. That must be a special thing to that particular restaurant because ours doesn't have it, and its not listed on the menu.

Anyway, JR, you asked for pictures:

Today, I opted for a strawberry smoothie rather than the Cherry Pepsi.

Here, I cut it open so you can see the filling. This is a mushroom and swiss one. They have plain (just ground beef, spices, onions, & cabbage), cheese, and also an Italian (I've never tried that one). I really like their fry/ring dip too. I'm not even sure how to describe the taste of the dip, but it tastes so good, I'm sure its not good for me.

The bread is baked fresh every day and they claim the beef is never frozen.

There you go. Any of you are welcome to come visit and I'll take you out for a Runza.

I'll quit posting about them now too. smile.gif

Thanks Web! smile.gif

It's not too far off the ad photo, but definately not as pretty smile.gif

The ad one looks like a mini loaf of bread and the meat is all neatly packed. The one you brought home looks like what I would think it would look like if I tried to make it myself.

None the less, I'd definitely try one if I ever got the chance. I like the idea of the meat being sealed inside the bread like that.

When I was talking to web about the Runza I was telling him about a website where the guy puts photo's side by side of the advertised fast food product and the real product. It's pretty startling when you see the items next to each other.

I might even have originally heard about it here on the forum, so this may be repeating, but here's the link if anyone wants to check it out...

You know Web, it's really hard for me to tell from the photo if a Runza is any good.

Maybe you should just bring me a couple so I can see em' in person hungry.gif

Now, we all know that the food in the advertisement looks better. After all, that is what marketing does. You know that most food advertising is props anyway. They can't present it how you really get it or you would never buy it.

Yeah, I know.

Actually, I thought some of the stuff looked pretty good in comparison.

But some of it looked horrible.

I'm checking out a german site that does the same thing right now and wow, they've REALLY got some issues with the final product not looking ANYTHING like the ad.

I'm not sure that MI is exactly on the way to NC, BUT . . . I promise you that if I deliver a Runza to JR, I'll bring one to you too.

It is if you take the scenic route.  laughing.gif

Those really do look good though.  Wish we had a place like that here.  I'm soooo tired of all the burger joints and Taco Bells.  hmm

NC is south of Philadelphia. It should only be about an 8 hour drive. Maybe it is only 6. I forget. Maybe SC is 8. Whatever. You get the point.
