Im saying that Fast Freddie arguing about ketchup is about as gay as Daniel Craigs instant messages.

Well, no one seems to want to talk about "Life of Pi" or any Eagles-related topics.  Gotta go where the action is.

in Europe, ketchup is good.  it's a tomato sauce, rather than a sugar sauce.

I hear Jon Favreau's really gained weight recently. Maybe he's putting too much ketchup on his eggs.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

Since you jackasses have completely hijacked this thread, I put barbecue seasoning and cheese on my omlette every morning. If I have them, some mushrooms and peppers too. I make awesome omelettes.

the only weird part about that is that you eat an omelette every morning.

Mustard, Barbeque sauce, A1, Mayo... You obviously feel the same way about all of those, right?

HATE Mayo.  I like mustard, VERY sparringly spread.  Steak sauce is okay, but not slathered on the steak.  Barbeque sauce I'm on the fence about-- most people don't know how to grill with it, which is a real problem.

The wife and I are going to The Melting Pot in 15 days, and I'm already looking forward to it.

Yes, I realize it's overpriced, especially considering you cook your own food.  However, the cuts are very fresh, and with the coq au vin cooking style, it's pretty damn good.

Ask for ketchup

Ketchup goes really well with Chick-Fil-A

Nope.  Polynesian sauce on the chicken, honey mustard on the waffle fries.

I think you'll all be quite relieved to know that the mere idea of ketchup as any part of my meal there sickens me.

I applaud the appropriate use of joke recall.

thats one of my favorite restaurants.  i don't think it's tat overpriced.  yes, you cook it yourself, but it's a ton of food.  i never leave there without feeling like i'm going to explode in a good way.  the only part i don't like about melting pot is that you smell like food when you leave because basically the kitchen is your table.  theres a melting pot about 50 yards from my office.

Yep, I have to agree there.  Usually, I leave ridiculously full, but also keep smelling food, which both irrationally makes me hungry and reasonably makes me nautious at the same time.

It's all worth it, though.  It was upsetting when we first moved here, because we tried the only Melting Pot in the area, and it was a seriously a converted Pizza Hut... and they sat a family of 20 rednecks in the same room as us.  It was frankly just an odd and off-putting experience.  However, a new one just opened up in a much nicer and quieter location, so we're pretty excited.

The last chance we had to go to a truly high-end restaurant was during the Christmas holiday - a place called An.  Great sushi, great wine list.  Really nice new place that just opened up.  Basically the whole thing was financed by the founder and CEO of SAS.  Probably the first truly great non-chain restaurant to open in the entire Triangle area.
