The 6 Taco Bell Secret Menu Items Worth Trying—and 2 to Avoid at All Costs

Be it a classic Big Mac or a hearty Quarter Pounder, the core ingredient that these McDonald's burgers can't do without are the ground beef patties. Some of you fast food fans out there might have wondered how McDonald's patties came to be while chomping down on that burger. Well, there aren't dedicated burger-shapers pressing fresh patties from a bucket of ground beef working behind the counter at each McDonald's. To streamline the operation, McDonald's buys all of its ingredients — from the beef patties in the burgers to the coffee it brews — from external vendors.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Rotisserie chicken is a fast and easy way to add protein to your meal prep routine. According to the National Chicken Council, broiler chicken is the most widely consumed protein in the U.S. You can add chicken to everything from Caesar salads to frozen pizza to get more protein and make your meals more filling. Rotisserie chicken is flavorful due to the constant turning of the meat, which keeps it moist and tender and prevents the chicken from drying out.

Taco Bell is one of those fast food chains that often finds itself in the crosshairs of pop culture. These digs are typically focused on the content of the restaurant's seasoned beef, which is the baseline protein for most of its menu items.
