Welcome, pricey readers, to The Takeout Draft, our regular feature that combines our love of food, myth sports activities, and arguing on Slack. Every week, we will pick out a topic of communication from the food and drink internationally. Takeout staffers will then field a group through the snake draft layout. After five rounds, The Takeout commentariat will vote on who they consider was triumphant in that week’s draft. At the end of the year, the staffer with the most weekly victories will select a charity of their preference that The Takeout will donate toward. The winner of Ultimate Week’s Takeout Draft: Best Chocolate Candy, as voted by readers: Kevin Pang!
Joining us this week is The Takeout’s social media director and human meals guinea pig, David Anthony! For our Week three draft, we’ve chosen a becoming subject matter for David’s presence: an excellent fast food menu item.
We entered our names right into a randomizer, and that is the draft order it spat out:
- Kate Bernot
- Gwen Ihnat
- Kevin Pang
- David Anthony
- Let’s pass.
- Round 1
- Kate Bernot: Alright, I pick Taco Bell Cheesy Gordita Crunch
- David Anthony: GREAT PICK!!!
- Kevin Pang: Not expected, wow
- KB: To me, it’s everything I want in a fast food object: Amazing texture, downright salty, vast amounts of cheese.
- It is what I imagine once I imagine fast food.
- DA: I co-signal all of that.
KP: I can experience what the cheap seats will complain about. Kate: There’s nothing better than a Cheesy Gordita Crunch.
