I loved the early 90's McJordan burger at McDonalds. Quarter pound burger/bun with a piece of circular bacon, barbecue sauce, onions....it was great but they only brought it back once a couple years later.

Also the country fried steak sandwich from Wendy's...no mayo pls

The Monte Cristo at Bennigan's. I've had others, but the way theydid it was awesome. The only reason I wish that place hadn't gone belly up.

I was a Rodeo Burger fan from Burger King (yuck, I know). It came out when Small Soldiers came out...which I was a fan of at the time.

McDonald's pizza had a lot of potential but most of the crew made it like crap.

I remember when I was younger before banning McDonalds from my diet, I really liked the Arch Deluxe. A burger by them that tasted like food. Must have been too mind-blowing for their regular customers.

They gave up on those after a couple years as they sold about 10 a day.

It's not necessarily retired, but I love the McRib at McDonald's. It's seasonal, so it's kinda retired.

I also miss the spicy chicken sandwich from Burger King, when they had spicy sauce on it. Better than Wendy's, IMO.

I've never had it, but that doesn't look half bad.

There was never really a sandwich that I liked that they retired but back in the early 90's, I believe, Taco Bell had this ridiculous burrito that had steak, sour cream and tater tots. NOT that potato burrito crap that they have now. The blend of the steak with that sour cream & tater tots....the tots definitely MADE that burrito.

McDonalds had a super cheesy burger a few years back...loved it. I think it came in different sizes too.

The new cheesy potato burrito is solid.

Dairy Queen's Steakmelt basket. I haven't eaten at DQ in a few years, so as far as I know, it's still retired.

Steak on a hoagie bun with cheese, lettuce, and tomato. They had A1 steak sauce packets too.
