Hello everyone, this is running on empty
Food Review! Well a very Happy New Year, ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching
This is running on empty food review. I am your host the report of the week
So first and foremost first video of 2019 coming in and I just want to wish all of you
Just I hope you had a Happy New Year. Hope you didn't do anything too stupid and
well if you did
Hopefully it wasn't that bad. So first things first, we're kicking off the new year with a bang
because for the last you know
The last number of days I was sitting there, right?
We had the holidays and holiday season and all that craziness associated with with it, though
It's going by and I was just trying to think myself
What is the next big release that's gonna be coming out that I can try out. I mean, what is it gonna be?
You know, it's gonna be a pizza. It's gonna be a burger and
then I found out about Taco Bell and
Taco Bell, I gotta tell you they are one of those places that you can count on. I mean when it comes down to dependability
four new items new releases or if they want to resurrect something you can count on Taco Bell to do it and
That's exactly what they're doing this time around so they said alright, to ring in the New Year 2019
We're gonna be bringing back the famous. The infamous naked chicken
Chalupa, that's right. Ladies and gentlemen, its back its back with a bang
It's been resurrected now for probably the fifth time, but it's here. I have it and we're trying it out
So what is the naked chicken chalupa, for those of you who you know might not be too sure about it
well
That's why thankfully I have my handy dandy notebook and we will find out collectively and let's see what it's got
So the Taco Bell naked chicken chalupa, here's what it comes with. Okay?
The big appeal of it I think originally is just the recherché of it all
How obscure it was
I was supposed to be right first and foremost the name that naked chicken chalupa, you know
You don't really hear that on the menu and then what it was so supposed to be like chalupa
Except the shell is the meat right?
it has this shell that's made out of this fried breaded chicken and then in it comes a few toppings and
You know that that's the appeal of it all
Here's what it comes down to
And it has a seasoned chicken shell with like a little bit of a maybe a black pepper spice its kind of baked into it
comes with an avocado ranch sauce cheese lettuce and
tomatoes so as you can see
It's got a little bit of a blend not too much not too little
But just a little bit of a enough of a mix as they hope anyway
For that blend of the the chicken shell and then the toppings to kind of, you know will end up being a somewhat
passable meal
Now before anything else they have a box deal and Taco Bell is always good with this
You know, they do a lot of the box deals and they get it out and that's what they had going this time
Now I got the naked chicken box as it says on the receipt for five dollars and forty nine cents in it
Comes a naked chicken chalupa, you can get a soft taco
you can get
you know another another taco so you can get kind of the
chalupa to tacos and then a drink so am I gonna soft taco and then one of the
Doritos Locos Tacos, those are always pretty solid and then I got of course as as always as is tradition
Baja blast and I always loved it that they put these in the clear cups and how
It's just so it's so vibrant and it just radiates right so
Meal deal
For five dollars is 49 cents
Not bad at all
now I gotta be honest with you because the first thing you see when you look at this box I bet I mean
I don't know. Maybe you said wow. That's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen
But more likely than not you're probably thinking yourself that that box has seen better days
What what happened reviewbrah? I'll tell you what happened. Then I'll be completely honest with you
Usually when I do these videos, you know, I do them in one take I do in one take that's it
That's the end end of story
had a few technical difficulties and look as I always say it happens and
We just had a few technical
Difficulties after I was even done with the review so this is attempt number two and for that
please
Please forgive me
You know for for any inadequacies that may exist
so that's just what happened and that's why it may appear a little more untidy than it should be and
That's also why you're gonna end up seeing half of a eeeh a naked chicken chalupa in there though the good news
Is that for the thumbnail, we're gonna be breaking some fourth wall action right here
I'm gonna try and get the side of it that so looks like it's it's still a fully preserved
Naked chicken chalupa and not like this the staff recognized me and said that ReviewBrah I hate him
Let's eat half of it and then give them the remains just just to mess with him
But that's you know, that's just what happened and it is what it is. Right and what can you do about it?
Look, sometimes you get these technical difficulties
They you know, they can get the best of you they can get the best of all of us. They are what they are and
you know you just you take it and
After it's kind of chewed up thrown out you take what you can work with and make the most of it
That's the most important thing of it. All first and foremost here is I should say guess second and
second most
Coming up here is the naked chicken chalupa
containment device
Because it can get pretty crazy in there. So this is where it usually rests though
I have learned that it can be pretty tasty otherwise and
You can see like I said, I'm not lying to you, right this is almost perfect
Half of a naked chicken chalupa does give you a very good cross-section of it as you can see in there. They've got the
Chicken shell you got that avocado ranch the cheese lettuce and the tomato all there and now let's try our best
I want to give myself a challenge here. Let's try this. Let's see if this this works
Alright looks good enough. Anyway, you're gonna see it's kind of drooping out there, but it looks good enough now
Considering that I have eaten half of it right? I already do know what it tastes like but lets us pretend I
Don't remember anymore. So let's give it a shot the naked chicken chalupa
Revitalise and it's brought back for the year 2019
Going in
I just
I'm sorry. I just I just kind of laughed just thinking about it and take -
It's just an inside joke just gets me that's all
And you can see this is a view of the desecrated box
Right there
But some assorted remnants of assorted things
That kind of been there
Short and sweet. What does the naked chicken chalupa taste like I gotta tell you I was satisfied with it
Surprisingly so because I remember in previous reviews that I've done for the naked chicken chalupa or any of the naked chicken
Variants and derivatives right, with a that they got the naked chicken chips or whatever. I
gotta say
Once you know what you're in for and I think this goes right down across the board that you know
That you're not gonna be getting some five-star restaurant quality chicken and you know that that's a given right. We know that
All right. So now that that's to be expected you focus on the flavors that are at hand. Oh
I guess that was the ghost of 2018 ,anyway I
Go going forward. Wow, that was weird
going forward
the
well all that I can say is this that that spiciness that black pepper spiciness of the
Just the naked chicken shell and the avocado ranch sauce
I mean
They blend together perfectly got that perfect amount of that spice there that perfect amount of coolness from that ranch
They just blend together and this this just melodious mixture. And I mean it actually tastes good for what it is
The tomatoes are richer than I expected lettuce and cheese is there but I mean all in all I was satisfied with it
I know what to expect. I knew what I was in for and you know, I was delighted I was happy
I thought it tasted pretty good
So with that considering the price, you know
Taco Bell always does a good job for its value out of ten nine point zero out of ten
I think they just did a good job with it and just really I just like that
Spiciness and then that coolness of the avocado ranch sauce just goes together so good really like it
All right, two last things and we're gonna end the video
Number one help support this channel and my radio show ad rates, of course, they go down for the month of January
you were youtuber, you know that too and
Also help keep the radio show going, you know, we're in a little bit of a budget deficit starting out for January
Hopefully we'll be able to get out of that hole and one way to really help out is to donate via patreon
Patreon.com/thereportoftheweek and on one final final note coming up tomorrow. That's Thursday
I'm gonna be doing a new radio show in it. I want to hear from you. I want to hear your predictions your prophecies
What do you think is gonna happen in 2019? It's gonna be a fun listener driven show and hope you could check it out.
