About This Quiz

The restaurant business has adapted to the various needs of customers from decade to decade. While there are still a number of fine dining and casual dining places all around the world, what's undeniable is the proliferation of the fast food chain industry.

The fast food chain somewhat revolutionized and changed the way we dine these days. Ever since these eateries existed, we can always get our food in a hurry. For people who are always on the go, this is a welcome development in their lives, because they won't need to spend time preparing food. There are very reliable fast food chains out there, and we all have our favorites.

But even the fast food chain industry is leveling up the game. Nowadays, there are places categorized as fast-casual chains. Those are the places that may appear like casual dining places, but they also serve food relatively faster than fine dining places. Plus their menu offers more options than the usual fast food fare since they also try to elevate their food items to become more high quality. And that includes everything in their menu, from appetizers to desserts.

Speaking of desserts, do you think you can name all of these delicious desserts if we give you a picture and a clue? Come on, we know you have the appetite for this. Let's go!
