The unholy result of crossing cheesecake and tater tot DNA.

Complete with "strawberry" dipping sauce that tastes like they melted a bunch of Fruit Roll-Ups then mixed it with Kool-Aid. [Angst]

You know, my grandmother used to make something similar to this - bite sized cheesecake squares. They rocked.

I can guarantee that these are NOTHING like bite-sized cheesecake squares.

The only real problem I had with them were that they were hot. If they had been cold, like cheesecake is supposed to be, they would have been alright. Not spectacular, probably wouldn't have gotten 'em again, but alright.

How do you even make Cheesecake balls?

Make cheesecake then cut it up or roll it or something? I can't imagine they have like spherical molds for the batter to go in.

I made pumpkin cheesecake last month, but there was way, WAY more batter than I expected, so I ended up making a regular one, and then filling a lasagna pan with the leftover batter.

My brother ate the whole thing in less than a week.

I have never had good luck with Sonic's desserts and shakes. Their cherry limeade is, of course, good, and their tater tots are heavenly, and their burgers and sandwiches are decent (I like the wraps.) But I learned early on to stay AWAY from the dessert and shake menu.

If you want a good dessert at a fast-food joint, go to Steak n Shake. Their food was the closest I could get to In 'N' Out while in TX.

I didn't think they were so bad. I probably won't order them again, however -- not worth the price. Nothing beats Sonic's Mozzarella Sticks though. That's my fav.

Mmm, those are good. I like a grilled chicken wrap, no tomatoes, mozzarella sticks on the side. [Smile]

We just got some Sonic Onion Rings the other night 'cause Sonic is extremely close to our house and I was craving Onion Rings. I'd never had them there before and was considerably disappointed. It was like they'd been stored near or cooked with something with cinnamon in it and some other weird flavor I couldn't name that should have no place in an Onion Ring. I was hoping it was some sort of flavor absortion and not part of the actual Onion Ring batter recipe. Plus everything is overpriced. Not a fan.

I hope it was just that store that disappointed you, Daisymae. Because everywhere that I have tried them, they have been excellent.

Yeah, their onion rings aren't the best, but they're no worse than, say, BK.

Now, there is a place near my house that has the world's best onion rings, mmm...

Oh I love Sonic! We finally got one within 25 miles and we are so thrilled! I adore the Blue Coconut Cream Slush! But as KQ pointed out it doesn't touch a Steak'n'Shake. I had that when I visited my dad in Indiana and we hit every one we could we find on the way back because we knew there weren't any anywhere near us. They are awesome! If you ever have the means, I highly recommend it!

dawnmaria, if you like Steak n Shake, you will LOVE In 'N' Out when you come visit us out here in CA. As their jingle goes, "In 'N' Out, In 'N' Out, that's what a ham-burger's all about!"

I love Sonic. I tried their Cheesecake bites and liked them. I was suprised that they were not served cold, but once I got over that I liked them.

I have a greal love/hate relationship with their ad agency to the extent that whenever one of their commericals comes on, I inevitably windup craving Sonic and have to go get some. I just don't understand why they are darn so effective.

Okay, now try having to watch their commercials when the nearest Sonic is two hours away-- when traffic is good. [Frown]

I swear they must use subliminal messages in there to make me want even things I know are disgusting...

Is it in Texas? I remember having something while I was in Dallas that I'd never had before. It wasn't Whataburger, I don't think.

Either way, nothing can compare to Steak'n'Shake. Turkey melts with honey mustard on the side and a chocolate milkshake...so good.

They don't have Steak'n'Shake here. [Frown]

No, In 'N' Out started in CA. It's now a little bit in AZ and there are a few in NV, there may be a few elsewhere, but it's still mostly a CA institution.

And they have the BEST fast-food hamburgers ANYWHERE. Their menu isn't as extensive, but their burgers are better than Steak n Shake. Now, I'll agree that Steak n Shake is superior to other fast-food places with a larger menu, but when it comes to hamburgers a good ol' Double-Double still wins every time.

[Embarrassed] That is EXACTLY how I eat my Double-Double! *high-fives JonHecht* Well, sometimes I get it with pickles. Do you like their strawberry shakes? And are you a soggy or a crispy fry stealer?

CT: the OTHER Double-Double. [Wink]

(Actually, when I was there last I hadn't eaten all day and got a 3X3. Ems always gets a grilled cheese. I love the "other menu" items; it's so funny to take someone who isn't from CA for the first time, and order something that's "not on the menu." [Wink] )
