Before I even start talking about the different options, I think it should go without saying that this is 7-Eleven. It won't be fresh. It won't be good for you.
But if it's late, you're drunk, and the Domino's delivery guy already knows you by name, then some of these inferior goods might be worthy of your attention.
If you've heard of 7-Eleven, you've probably also heard of their famous crunchy tortilla rolls called taquitos.
Kept warm all night on a conveyor belt of sorts, taquitos are available in multiple flavors including buffalo chicken, bacon, egg, potato, and cheese.
Bold, spicy flavors knock out any taste of the protein, but the mix of the hard shell and soft filling makes for a truly textural experience with every bite.
My advice is to grab the Monterey Jack chicken taquito. It is easy to eat, and stuffed with chicken and spicy, creamy cheese sauce that makes it an obvious late-night choice.
However, if the taquitos aren't calling to you, then you can look to the more grease-laden options available on the conveyor belt.
Next to the taquitos sit the delicious and confounding "Big Bites," which are essentially mystery meat cylinders.
About the same length as your standard hotdog but twice as thick, "Big Bites" are different types of hotdogs served on a bun in a convenient to-go box.
While the standard "Big Bite," is not much more exciting than your average ballpark frank, the cheeseburger and breakfast-flavored "Big Bites" are easily worth a try, for novelty's sake if nothing else.
Thick and glossy in the light, these large sausages barely fit in their buns.
The cheeseburger oozes melted cheese while the breakfast version has the distinct sage flavor that we all know and love in a good breakfast sausage. As portable as a standard hot dog, the "Big Bite," can easily be taken on the go as well.
If you still haven't found what you're looking for, proceed to the microwavables.
Located in the fridge next to the fruit, these individually wrapped burgers and breakfast sandwiches are hidden gems.
The breakfast sandwiches are fairly standard, but still taste good at any time of the day. The perfectly circular egg filling is clearly fake, but the melted American and salty sausage, ham or bacon are enough to make it a non-issue.
If you want to enjoy the full effect of the 7-Eleven breakfast sandwich, get it on a croissant for a fully-buttered experience.
But all of this fails in comparison to the microwavable cheeseburger. Coming in at close to half your daily value of cholesterol, this sizable burger, cheeseburger or bacon cheeseburger is the real deal.
You know that feeling when you bite into fried food and a little bit of the excess oil rushes into your mouth, making it almost hard to breathe?
Well you are guaranteed at least one skipped heartbeat with this radiated delight.
Each bite brings a rush of heavy beefy goodness so rich and fatty that it's hard to finish.
This is definitely the single most unhealthy item on this list, but also without a doubt, the most highly recommended.
Avoid the maple pancake sausage. I'll admit that the idea of a hollowed out cylindrical pancake stuffed with a smaller "Big Bite" sausage does sound somewhat intriguing. However, the pancake is too dry for this salty, sweet attempt to be successful.
Avoid the wings as well. My personal take is that either the chicken was a pygmy or they are re-deep-fried every hour. whichever it is, you don't want them.
