Also curious about things that are the other way around where they look really good but taste awful.

        I live in a part of the US Southwest with a decidely different food culture. I don’t know why, but refried beans from certain restaurants just rock. Others not so much. Is it because Sysco is crap and the good ones don’t use that? I’m going to ask next time I get a smothered burrito from my favorite hole in the wall place, I seriously don’t know.

        The same can be said for Spanish rice.

      I definitely favor the thicker refried beans that come out of a can, rather than the softer / more liquid beans typically found at restaurants

      I used to avoid refried beans. Until I did a little work at an orphanage in Honduras and refried beans were served as breakfast (with tortillas and sliced avocado and eggs). Completely changed me. These were thicker than what I’m used to seeing, but I’m down for all kinds of refried beans now.
