went to ruby tuesdays the other day...complete trash
Ha! If you want bad service and crappy food, you can go somewhere a lot cheaper.
Ruby Tuesday's is on the list of restaurants I'll never go to for any reason.
Even places like Olive Garden (only for soup, salad, and breadsticks) and Wendy's (vanilla frosty) have their place. Ruby Tuesday is a piece of shtein, and they should all be imploded.
Nino's Pizza which is a decent sized franchise in the area has the absolute worst Boneless chicken in hotsauce. I normally get Seasobites from Seasons Pizza which are banging, the nino's crap was horrible and gave me the green apple splatters

I guess it all depends on specific locations of chain restaurants. My local Rubys is pretty good (although the waitresses could be hotter).
hey, if it's that bad, bitch to the manager, and don't pay!
the vanilla frosty is the only redeeming quality you can find in Wendy's?
no.
and olive garden has a redeeming quality??
kill yourself
i don't mind Olive Garden, it is what it is
olive garden might the single worst chain restaurant ever...but italian is probably my favorite food and i cant eat anything less than authentic
one side note on rubys...to be fair their salad bar is pretty good...of course i didnt get it the other night

Exactly. Only a moron would go and spend $15 on the "Tour of Italy" or some shtein. Unlimited soup, salad, and breadsticks is $5.99 or something. I go maybe once a year.
Anybody every eaten at a Buffalo Wild Wings? I'd like to try it, but there isn't one in my area. I think the closest one is over an hour away.
olive garden is nowhere near the worst chain ever...but i understand that it's cool to hate things that are popular so please continue.
yeah, we get it....you're too good for anything that's popular.
I like 'em, but my wife hates them.
Good beer selection, and something like 20 sauces. Good nachos too. Phanatic and I go to one each Sunday during football season to watch the Eagles.
Wife hates it because everything is served on paper instead of plates. I guess she's just a little snoot sometimes.
The closest Buffalo Wild Wings is in Chapel Hill. Hardly worth going 15-20 miles away for chain wings.

Not boycotting. Just making sure to be extra rowdy during games. Fat farg definitly eats too much of the product...
Olive garden is fine with me. I don't mind that its not 'authentic'. It's taste is consistently good. And frankly, I've found that there are shteintier authentic italian places than Olive Garden. Just because you use more tomato sauce, doesn't mean you're authentic.
Italian food, yummy in your tummy.

I agree, for the most part, I don't eat there often but like Sun said it is what it is. I'm a wop so I know good Italian cuisine.
Ruby Tuesdays sucks ass, I'll never eat there again.

I would write the name of the place but they were nice enough to deliver through a winter storm when the roads were really bad, so I'll cut them some slack.

buffalo wild wings have the best wings of anywhere. they blow hooters and all those other places out of the water. in fact, they're better than most non-chains too.

If you combined FF and IGY you would have someone who nibbles on lobster while watching the "Little Black Book" on a tv at a chain bar that serves Coors Light and Jungle Juice.
one of the guys i work with started a website comparing wing places here in delaware. He's more of a fat kid than me.
BW3's wings are overrated in my book.
my kid has a monthly fund raiser through her school, it's called Market Day, you order all types of foods through the website and pick them up a week later.
they have wings, that are expensive, but are farging good. they are spicy and big, much bigger than the ones you get from your local pizza shop. i heart them.

i luv me some wings, i try them wherever i can. i had BW3 wings in richmond before that were the best i ever had. but i went to one in pittsburgh once and they sucked. overall i think they're better than most places.
that girl did get hit by a pan in the face
ashley then decided to eat ryan.
That might be the problem i have with BW3, the one in delaware where we always go seems to always have dry small wings. I'll have to expand my horizons.
wings are a top ten food if you can find a good one...but nine out of ten places have wings i cant eat...nothing is worse than wet wings and to many places have them...they gotta be crispy with the sauce built into them not poured over and puddled on the plate
luckily for me my local bar has close to the best ive ever had

The Juan Valdez stand in the Wanamaker Building farged up my non-toasted poppy seed bagel with butter on 2 occasions.
The first time, they gave it to me & said they didn't have butter. I handed it back & said use cream cheese. He handed it back & said they are out of cream cheese. I handed it back & said give me my $1.10 back, then her got all pissy.
Today I asked for it non-toasted, then watched him put it in the toaster. He took it out & handed it to me without butter. I had to ask for butter & he tossed some butter pads on the counter for me.
I hate to sound like a little bitch but it is a farging bagel with butter, that's it. If you can't do that without farging up, then you need to jump in front of a bus.
Going to have Trader Joe's frozen pizza tonight instead of Papa John's or Domino's.
Trader Joes is a wonderful example of the exception that proves the rule. Wildly popular AND excellent.
meh, whole foods kills trader joes.
I had a LaSpada's cheesesteak at the ball game yesterday. They're usually pretty good. It wasn't. In fact, it was piss poor. There wasn't enough meat on the thing and the roll was stale.
I told the lady behind the counter about it and she just shrugged her shoulders and said "sorry about that."

I was gonna boycott, but they have the best TV's around and I like their wings. So instead, I'll go there, and won't stop my kids from being loud and obnoxious. Also, I'll spill a drink or two for them to clean up. And then I'll tip about 12%, and tell the waitress she would have gotten more, but her manager's a douche and she should take it up with him about how to treat regulars.

i don't think trader joes is any cheaper than whole foods. i go to whole foods for dinner at least once a week. they make bomb ass sushi and the samples are nice. they have free wine tasting a lot too.
I had heard of both places, but have never seen one in person. A quick search shows a WF about 28 miles from my house, and a TJ's 15 miles.

I hadn't drunk milk for years until we had our son. Since he needed whole milk as an infant and young toddler, I had gotten back into drinking it daily.
Once we went back to skim and/or 2% - no more drinking milk.

No, you've got it right. Well, about Trader Joe's anyway..I can't speak for Harris Teeter because I've never been. TJ's is not a full complement grocery store. You go there to get good priced natural foods that aren't full of preservatives and hormones and transfats, etc. They don't go in for the branded stuff that's got advertising and marketing packaging costs rolled into the price..they just source good food from good places and sell it.
You don't go there to get toilet paper and dish detergent and potatoes and onions and tater tots.

has anyone had one of those kfc bowls...they look like a shepherds pie with fried chicken
No Popeyes down here that I know of. There are Bojangles all over the place, though.
I can't eat fried chicken. Tastes great, but thinking about how bad it is for me really takes the fun out of it. And that thought always pops in my mind. If I have it once a year, that's a lot.
I only eat fried chicked when I am on the treadmill for that very reason.
Excellent money-saving idea. All the excess grease ensures that the treadmill keeps moving smoothly.
why even live if you cant eat fried chicken
id rather die at 50 and enjoy the best things in life than die at 80 eating bean sprouts...who wants the live that long anyway...the last years of a long life are normally not too enjoyable...id rather spend the best years of my life to the fullest than than experience more of the worst years of life

Hey, the walking stereotype loves fried chicken. I find that shocking.
There's nothing wrong with bean sprouts if you like bean sprouts. Fried chicken tastes good, but it makes me feel like a fat ass. Being a fat ass isn't a great way to go through life either. It's the happy medium you have to find. Personally, I'd rather have pizza once in a while over fried chicken.
Hey, the walking stereotype loves fried chicken. I find that shocking.

fried chicken is on the short list of GOAT foods
Fried chicken is still a few notches under bacon, tho.
Many notches.
Popeye's spicy fried chicken is half a notch behind bacon as the GOAT.
The spicy is good. Wrap that spicy fried chicken in bacon, and you have quite the tasty treat.
Dip it in the pork-injected Red Beans and rice and you have nature's perfect food.
That does sound good. I haven't had good red beans and rice in awhile.
dont get me wrong bacon is great (tho i prefer sausage)....but bacon isnt a "food"...its goes on or with food...youre not going to a restaurant and ordering bacon as your meal
and save the "yes i would" answers....i already am aware of the running internet joke that is bacon and its played
now if you wanted to say that a BLT is a GOAT food then that would count
one of the few good sandwiches i can get where i live is a BLT hoagie with extra bacon at this little grease joint in my town...its really really good

Popeye's spicy fried chicken is half a notch behind bacon as the GOAT.
Only half a notch? You're fired from bacon's fan club.
Sorry, IGY, but I have had bacon as a meal. Mounds of it.
But bacon-wrapped fried chicken sounds like the perfect way of killing myself.
Quote from: Zanshin on April 04, 2007, 10:41:21 AM
Being a fat ass isn't a great way to go through life either.
Agreed. But being a guy who eats like a chick isn't much better, Z.
I have a buddy of mine who constantly complains about food. He pisses and moans about shtein because it's fattening or it's greasy or blah, blah, blah. He's also the type to chastise others about what they eat rather than being a motherfarging man and allowing adults to eat what they please in peace.
I can't stand people like that. I'm not saying you are, just that people like him annoy the shtein out of me.
There's a simple solution. Go to the farging gym. Then you can eat or drink whatever the farg you want. I'm a naturally skinny motherfarger, but I eat like shtein and drink more than is even remotely healthy. I stopped going to the gym for two years and gained 15 pounds. I started going to the gym again and lost that weight. It's a simple equation. Eating like a woman is not the solution.
It's all about each person's metabolism. My brother in law eats like an idiot but he weighs 170 pounds at 6'1". I mean, his idea of a healthy meal is a double bologna & cheese sammich, with Doritos and a chocolate shake. He also drinks like a fish and never gains an ounce.
For most normal people, though, you're right. You have to consume less calories than you burn, period. Otherwise, you're going to be a fat ass.
I've been both and I much prefer being in shape, although now, at age 41, I really don't give a flying farg anymore. I exercise when I feel like it, I eat healthy most of the time but I also never say to myself, "ewww, that's fattening - I can't eat that."
Bitches do that, not men.

Depends on how you're wired. I go to the gym five days a week (weights and cardio), and I train at a dojo four times a week. That said, I have a slow metabolism. If I don't eat right (and for me that's more about food choices than quantity), I'll blow up....just a genetic thing. There's only so much time I can actually be working out. Without exaggeration, if I don't eat about the same as my 5'4 119 pound wife, I'll start gaining weight. And if that food happens to be carb-loaded or fried? Forget it. It's about picking and choosing. Of course, it doesn't help that I'm obsessive-- when I'm on the wagon, I'm pristine; when I'm off, I'm way off.
That said, I don't give a rat's ass what anyone else does. Except my dad-- he's about 5'5 350, and I could never get him to change his habits; that's really the only time I've actually nagged anyone about it.

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.
Thin and drunk is far superior.
You left out smart. Thin drunk and smart.
So what you're saying is that alcohol is the common denominator that binds us all and makes us human?
I was drunk last week for the first time in months. I'm not against it, but I don't see the consistent allure.
Those are words that I can't begin to understand.
Unless there's something you need to drink away; it dulls the senses, slows your reflexes, encourages stupidity, makes you more vulnerable to an attack, and leaves you feeling like shtein in the morning. Nice change of pace, but as a constant...can't say I really see the benefit.
Hahaha, 'leaves you vulnerable to attack.' Ha.
Don't you know that alcohol makes you invincible?
But seriously, I guess I can see how it wouldn't be for everyone, but the way I look at it is this:
Sobriety is boring. I hate being bored and try not to allow myself to be bored for more than a day or two a week.

IHOP CINNASTACKS HOLLA
I just ate a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit from a Pantry Food Mart. For those of you that do not know, Pantry took over many of the "small" WaWa's in South Jersey and are basically a WaWa clone. My question is, is it possible to eat something and no more than 90 seconds later to shtein it out? I did't think it was possible, but I have been wrong before. :paranoid
Seriously, IHOP has a genius idea... cut a cinnamon roll in half, dip it in egg and cook a la french toast, drizzle in cream cheese and more cinnamon filling... then dip each bite in syrup.
Oh, and I enjoyed some bacon as well. Best breakfast ever... or at least it tasted like it today.
sounds more like dessert than breakfast

yeah me and some co-workers went to IHOP for lunch a few days ago and I almost got those things but they looked too sweet. but my meal the delicious, two eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, toast, and pancakes for like $6 or something. and that butter pecan syrup is bangin.
I seriously can't believe you guys like IHOP. Maybe they're different up north but the ones here in Florida are awful. There is one literally 1 block from my house and we never go there because it's so terrible.
One of the things that bugs me is they have timeshare shills out front harrassing customers as you walk in. It makes no difference if you have a Florida license plate on your car with the local Volusia county on it either. They still try and make their pitch to you. It's aggravating as hell.
Well, the one we went to is right next to the NCSU campus. No time share "shills" at all.
It's a hole, sure... but we've been twice in the 5 years we've been in North Carolina. Nothing wrong with a greasy breakfast every so often.

I ate breakfast at the chow hall this morning. Food's never great but usually never all that bad either. Except today. I had an omlette and they must have used an egg that had been fertalized because I swear that thing had a pulse. It was runny and just didn't taste too good. So I smothered it in ketchup.

I've had more zesty breakfast experiences than lunches & dinners combined.
What the farg is do difficult about making hash browns? They're called hash BROWNS for a reason. If I wanted white potatoes, I'd order them mashed. A lot of places don't cook the meat they throw into omelets properly either. Nothing is more repulsive than cutting into a bacon & cheese omelet only to find next to raw bacon inside.
People farg up waffles and pancakes too by not cooking them thoroughly. We had some at Perkins PANCAKE House that were just a shade over raw. I could actually see the batter inside because the dickwad hadn't cooked them enough.
And don't even get me started about coffee. It's either too weak or it's stronger than paint thinner. And why does it cost $5 for a glass of orange juice the size of a thimble? Orange juice isn't even that expensive yet for some reason restaurants charge you like it's Jim Beam.

There are too many reasons to like KFC to choose a favorite. It's delicious.
Went to Penn Station this afternoon and was rather disappointed in their interpretation of an 'east coast sub'. It was OK but I was craving a good old fashioned Italian hoagie and got some artsy interpretation with toasted bread and melted cheese. Good but my craving is not satisfied at all...
I've decided, and I bet Phanatic, MMH, Sarge, and any other midwesterners here can confirm, if it says Philly Cheese Steak, it isn't. If it says Italian Sub, it isn't. And if it says New York Style Pizza (which is the only city on the east Coast according to these people), it isn't.
Which is why I try to get to Philly at least once a year. To watch the eagles, and get incredible mud-butt from devouring everything I can.

There is one place in Soulard that makes Jersey style Pizza that is right on. They have Calzones and shtein like that too. I bring home a few pies from time to time for dinner. Very good but I think they went out of business recently.
Picked up some food at a place called "Salsa Fresh" last night.
Meh. It's about the same price as Moe's or Qdoba but not nearly as good, despite tasting fresher.

I went to dinner with my girlfriend and her parents over the weekend in Hiawatha, KS.....very small town about 2 hours north of KC. I had never been there before but apparently there's only 1 resturant in this town so that's where we went for dinner. We walk in the front door and it was just a tiny little bar full of farmers and thier child-brides. Then off to the left there was a room with about 5 or 6 folding picnic tables. This was the "resturant."
I ordered a steak which also came with fries and a salad, and got a pepsi to drink.
The waitress brought me a can of pepsi.
Then the salads came out and the bowls looked like they had been purchased at a yard sale. None of them matched and they all had chips around the edge.
And instead of a small bowl of dressing, the waitress just gave us the entire bottle....which was actually kind of cool because there's never enough dressing in those little bowls you get at fancy places like Sizzler.
Dinner was then served on a hard plastic cafeteria style lunch tray. You know, the kind with the dividers. It was a pretty decent steak but it was just a steak. Clearly it had not been seasoned or marinated or anything.
My meal alone was $20 and was the cheapest of the 4 of us.
People must only eat at this resturant on special occasions because I noticed that everyone seemed to be wearing their "nice jeans." Once dapper young man even went all out and wore a tuxedo t-shirt.
I can't wait to go back. With a camera.
i bet it was good as hell tho

They might have been at one point. There's a possibility that the chips around the edges were actually tooth marks from when a litter of puppies were chewing on it.
Also, I forgot to mention that none of the silverware matched but all of it was clearly manufactured sometime in the 70's. You know what I'm talking about.

I have to agree with this. When I was at Fort Jackson South Carolina for training I was banging this girl who took me to a place like the one Sarge described for breakfast. Probably one of the best breakfast's I've ever had. The biscuits and gravy were unreal.

South Carolina = red state
Also, if you were just "banging" the girl, you don't go out for breakfast. You were dating her, sucker.

Quote from: Sgt PSN on January 08, 2008, 12:05:51 PMI went to dinner with my girlfriend and her parents over the weekend in Hiawatha, KS.....very small town about 2 hours north of KC. I had never been there before but apparently there's only 1 resturant in this town so that's where we went for dinner. We walk in the front door and it was just a tiny little bar full of farmers and thier child-brides.
your girlfriend? ha. pics please.
child-brides, funny, not least because it's true I'm sure

true. not funny like
Sassy, just a simple fact.
Another simple fact: Chuckie's Chicken in Hollins Market Baltimore Maryland is farging great fried chicken.
Better than Mama's Food Shop or Sylvia's.
My g/f's parents and some friends of theirs made a trip down to our neck of the woods today so the plan was to meet up with them for lunch. I never thought to ask before we left and so as we were heading out, I asked my g/f what resturant we were meeting them at. She didn't answer she just gave me that "please don't be angry" look.
Farging Crapplebee's. I knew it before she said anything.
It's not so much the food I hate as the entire concept or theme of the resturant. The food is half way decent but I just hate everything else about that place. Long story short, ate lunch and it wasn't bad. When asked if we wanted desert, 3 of the elders ordered and I saw strawberry cheesecake on the menu so I ordered a slice.....or so I thought.
Deserts come out and one by one they are passed out to the geriatrics around me. Then the waitress sticks a glass (basically the size of like 3 shot glasses) in front of me and half of it is full of whip cream and the rest is just a red and white swirl....like a partly used tampon.
I looked at it and said "what the hell is that?" and the lady said it was a strawberry cheesecake "shooter". So I asked what was in the cup and she said cheesecake and strawberries.
Apparently, they take a slice of cheesecake and shove it in an over grown shot glass and cover it with whip cream. But when I asked if I could just have a slice of cheesecake with some strawberries on top, she said no.
Cheesecake in a farging cup. WTF is that all about? And why are they trying to charge me 3 farging bucks for it? I sent it back and told the waitress the next time she brings a shot glass to my table there better be some farging bourbon in it.
Farging Applebee's. Bunch of icehole clowns.
I'm not done ranting. Thought I was, but I'm not.
What is the farging point of stuffing cheesecake in a cup? Seriously? What does that accomplish? This is why I hate Applebee's and other resturants of their ilk. They take normal food and do something completely stupid to it like shoving it inside a god damned shot glass and pass it off like it's some sort of brilliant, new, revolutionary idea. And what's worse is that people just lap the shtein up like it's some sort of brilliant, new, revolutionary idea.
I can't wait until they start serving margaritas on a farging plate or something stupid like that. I can just see a table full of idiots at Applebee's sucking their drinks off a plate through a straw. Maybe Starbucks can start serving coffee in a farging bowl and you eat it with a spoon like it's soup or something. Ohh, maybe I can go into Dunkin Donuts and get an "Extreme Boston Creme" donut. It's just like a regular Boston Creme donut except it's square and costs $12.
FARG! I farging hate Crapplebees! Die you farging pinko commie farging bastiches and quit ruining my farging food!
i hate applebees as much as you sarge but i think its all because of the food...the "concept" as you say is no different than any other chain but somehow applebees makes fridays or bennigans food seem like a real restaurant...to me its the worst chain in the world exactly because the food is atrocious...i must say tho that i havent been there in close to ten years so maybe its changed
on semi related note i ate at hooters tonight and i feel dirty for it...what a farging ship wreck that place is...on a positive note tho they now have liquor there
I like Applebees nacho plate. That's it.
Of all the chain's, I really only go to Chili's.
Went to Outbacks last night with the wife. May not be "cheap" in price, but it's not great fare, either.
I had a steak (Outback special or something like that) - just sirloin, and it wasn't too bad.
My wife had the baby back ribs, and they were the fattiest, most grisley ribs I've ever seen. My wife's a pretty small eater, anyways, but she barely got through half of the ribs and asked me if I wanted to try. I got through one and that was enough to me.
The heart-clogging Aussie cheese fried were pretty good. The side salad sucked.
Fortunately we had been given a gift card for the meal, so we got out without paying a cent of our own.

Hooters gets a pass because they've got scantily clad women prancing around the place. The food sucks something awful but they don't even try and hide it or dance around it, so I appreciate that. It's a sports bar with slutty looking waitresses. Nothing wrong with that. And the fact that they sell liquor now makes it even better. For me, Hooters is like a touristy thing to do. If I'm in a town/city I've never been to, I check out a local Hooters. So far, Pensacola is by far the best one I've been to.
hooters in miami or new orleans might be good but go to hooters in rockville or laurel md and youll wish they werent scantily clad...in fact youll wish you had a dood for a waitress

Outback is ok. The only thing I've ever ordered there (been there maybe 10 times in my life) is the Alice Springs Chicken. Chicken with bacon and melted cheese on top of it can't bad no matter who makes it.

Chilis is decent too but imo has gone downhill over the years. They were a little more "unique" back in the day but now they're almost like a mexican verion of Applebee's.

The original Hooters in Clearwater has some of the hottest looking broads I've ever seen. But you're right about certain areas having better looking women. The ones in Atlantic City were ghastly looking.

Hmm, Miami or New Orleans vs Rockville or Laurel. You definitely gotta use some common sense when deciding whether or not you should go to Hooters. Take Sauderton for example. If they had a Hooters, I wouldn't go there.
i dunno, judging by some of the moms i see when i pick my kid up each day, they might be able to get some decent waitresses
If all the moms with kangaroo pouch bellies worked at Hooters, then who'd be left to take their clothes off at Suzie's?

I've been to one in Miami in a trendy late-night hangout area near Coral Gables. Not that great, actually, but much better than the one on Columbus in Philly.
I've heard the ladies at the one near the RDU airport are actually quite nice, because they pull talent from UNC and NC State.
they are highly overrated because the ladies that have the talent to pull off that uniform AND the low self-esteem to actually do it just stay farg it and become stippers and make real money
the ones that work at Hooters are ones who think they are hot and want to show off their goods but can't get jobs at strip clubs
I would agree with that if it were actually true.
A girl at the Daytona Hooters is literally the hottest girl I've ever seen in real life. Sure, I don't spend much time actually outside of the basement, but still, she's ridiculously hot. Sadly, she's also a funhole of epic proportions, but then again, with an oily gag crammed in her mouth, that wouldn't make any difference, so...
This chick is our my local Hooters - this pic is from the 2008 Hooters Calendar.
(http://www.suitsyouswimwear.com/images/customers/hotcalcaitlin1.jpg)
Not only is she hot, but she's a smart-ass too in just the perfect way.
Her biceps look a little on the manly side but who farging cares.
I care.
In person, I gotta believe she doesn't look like a pro wrestler.

I've heard great things about the 4x4 but never got to try one.
Moe's is one of our favorites, but I simply didn't think of it as fast food for some reason. The "Joey Bag O Donuts" burrito is my new #3. Wendy's gets the bump.

I used to have a Zaxby's about 300 feet from my house. They went out of business and sold the building to a Japanese outfit that is total garbage.
Zaxby's chicken wings were phenomenal. After Eagles games I would catch a cab back to the house and have the hack drop me off at the place to pick up grub for dinner. Nothing beats their wings after you've gotten your drunk on.

I'm not too much of a fish eater in the first place, although those dont really qualify as fish. Kinda of like a fish flavored mash, I'd guess.
Not appealing to me at all.

60g of protein is good!
That thing looks great. I'm afraid to eat fast food now though. I had a Whataburger the other day and felt like a criminal for eating there.
as wrong as igy is about mcdonalds burgers, i agree on the filet o fish. i've been getting made fun of my whole life for liking them. same with long john silvers, that shtein is delicious.
I didn't eat any seafood growing up. My dad hated it, so my mom never cooked it. In the last few years, I've really started to enjoy it quite a bit. Maybe I'll give fast food fish another go at some point.
I doubt my top 5 will change, though.
try long john silvers. their fish is awesome.

Has Steak & Shake filtered its way into the Northeast yet? Those burgers aren't bad at all and the milkshakes they serve are pretty good too. Forgot to mention them.

I ate at Wendy's for the first time ever, due to prodding from this board (I don't each much fast food since college).
I had just the normal Double Cheese burger.
Pretty solid, tasted like hamburger meat and cheese as opposed to whatever the hell McDoh's tastes like.
Dooesn't hold a candle to In-and-Out.
I guess I should've got the baconnator jam.
no fast food burger joint comes close to In-n-Out
Finally made a visit to Moe's Southwestern Grill. I was at another store, and I was thinking of stopping a drive-thru burger...but I spotted the Moe's sign. I'd never been to one, so I figured I would give it a try. Especially since I didn't want to go right back to the office.
I got nachos. Not too bad. Certainly not on the same level as some of the Mexican places in the area...but certainly better than Taco Hell. A bit steeper in price, too.
Definitely not a place I'd go out of my way for...but also not one I'd avoid.

Inspired by an episode of the Boondocks, a few brave souls from the heart of the Valley undertook the monumental task of creating and eating a Luther Burger. It consists of one pound of ground beef, cheese, grilled onions, and five strips of bacon. Sounds over the top? Replace the buns with Krispy Kreme donuts and you've got yourself a Luther burger. And a shortened life span.
For those that are health-conscious or living-conscious, the Luther Burger probably isn't something you want to eat on a regular basis (or at all). It has a little over 1,000 calories and over 45 grams of fat per serving. LAisters, keep in mind that the Chipotle steak burrito has roughly 1,300 calories and 55 grams of fat (and around 4,000 mg of Sodium). Without chips. Legends (aka Wikipedia) tell us that the Luther burger causes an impairment of basic motor functions, what is commonly referred to as the "itis." This burger is also reputed to have been a favorite of the great Luther Vandross, who might have had a hand in its creation. Could this burger be the secret to his silky smooth voice?
5 Guys Burgers and Fries is the best burger place around, i just wish they had Milkshakes
The Luther Burger looks to be so bad it's good

Had to make a run down to Dover, DE last week for a meeting and decided to stop off at the Sonic Drive Thru there. Sonic always has commercials playing in the Philly/NJ area, but there are no restaurants around here so I figured this was my one chance.
Ugh...should have left it in the "I wish I could try..." category. Had the foot long chili dog and some tots and nearly puked right there in the parking lot. Barely made it 10 minutes up Route 1 and I had to pull over to find a shteinter.

Yeah, I stay away from the hot dogs at Sonic. The burgers and breakfast sandwiches on Texas Toast are clutch, though. It's amazing I eat there so rarely, as there is one only 1.5 miles from my house.

i also have never had them but always seen the commercials...i know a lot of people that swear by their burgers....i just find it hard to believe a fast food burger could be
that good...i think the closest one to me is also on the way to the beach (ocean city)
The burgers are not that good, but they are above average for a fast food chain. It would be fairly easy to buy/make a superior burger to that to be had at Sonic.
QuoteOrlando Sentinel
Five Olive Garden servers and a hostess are featured in a new online pictorial from Playboy.com called "The Girls of Olive Garden."
The feature, which launched on Friday, was the brainchild of Kendra Wilkinson, girlfriend of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner and star of the reality show "The Girls Next Door." Wilkinson is a big fan of Olive Garden, which is owned by Orlando-based Darden Restaurants, and often raves about the Italian-themed chain on her TV show.
Olive Garden spokeswoman Mara Frazier said the chain did not cooperate with Playboy.com nor did it choose to participate in the photo feature. She said employees were not disciplined for partaking in the photo shoot.
"What people chose do outside of work is an individual decision and we all have the freedom to participate in any legal activity in our private lives," Frazier said.
Playboy.com said on its Web site that "hundreds" of applicants participated in its search for the "hottest girls" at Olive Garden. In the past, Playboy has run similar pictorials of workers from big chains such as Wal-Mart and McDonald's.
It's about time companies realize that if a chick wants to show the world her rack when she's not working, it's none of their damned business.

FU mcdonalds
Quote
McDonald's Corp. is testing modifications to its popular $1 double cheeseburger, and higher prices for the sandwich, as it prepares to change its Dollar Menu by next year.
In an interview, Don Thompson, president of McDonald's U.S. business, said the company has tested ways to make the burger less expensive to make. Some restaurants are selling it with one slice of cheese instead of two, and billing it as a "double hamburger with cheese." Others are offering a double hamburger without cheese. Some are selling the traditional double cheeseburger at prices ranging from $1.09 to $1.19.
I didn't think you were the type of guy to shy away from paying a little extra for quality.
Do you have any idea what quality of "beef" and cheese would have to be in a double cheeseburger to make it profitable at $1?
Its best not to think about those things
i dont give a shtein they are the goat fast food and they shouldnt be farging around with them
If they have to farg with the price to keep the "goat" profitable, wouldn't that make more sense than skimping on the cheese or otherwise altering the sandwich to keep the price at $1?
no...i dont go to mcdonalds often but when i do i get two doubles two fries and an apple pie for five bucks...if this messes with that just take them all off the menu completely
i also liked paying exactly $1.05 for one $1.10 for two ect ect...now its gonna be like $1.23 or some shtein...bogus

i like it because im not a fan of tequila but with the gm cointreau and oj added it tastes closer to a sweet long island than a margarita...so be forewarned if youre looking for a margarita in any kind of traditional sense you wont be getting it
Long Islands are basically king of all mixed drinks, so I have no problems with that.
BTW, the lunch deal is $6.49. Just had myself a house salad, the broccoli cheddar soup, and an assload of chips. The attractive waitress even offered us some chips to go.
Did she offer you a french handshake, too? Because free chips is most certainly some kind of come-on.
She asked if I knew anyone from St. Louis, because she loves to farg guys from St. Louis. I told her that no one came to mind. Sorry, bro.
P.S. The "bottomless" lunch deal dictated the free chips. Only, instead of us asking if we could bring some home (which we weren't planning to do), she offered.
Anyway, she can take the $4 tip to the BANK, son.

We have discussed the Luther Burger on this board before. That's just a variation of it.
I saw her make that shtein this weekend and almost threw up on myself. I love her and her deepfried everything, but using a donut as break for an egg sandwich is the grossest shtein ever.
yeah it did not look appetizing at all...i hate sweet and savory together and dont understand why cooks feel the need to do it other than to be different
I've had sweet and savory together that was good but never something as sweet as a glazed donut with something as savory as a sausage patty. Blech.

bread was ok.
soup was good.
lobster ravioli was ok.
food poisoning was epic.
4 days of non stop burning butt urination.. followed by or during grotesque uncontrollable spewage of the mouth of everything in me including a little bit of water and a tums, which is all my stomach had in it by day 3. atkins aint got shtein on that crash diet.
they owe me 7 lbs and about 15 rolls of toilet paper.
good first impression.
Carrabba's is worse than Olive Garden. At least at the Garden, you can get the soup, salad, and breadsticks for $6.99. Carrabba's is overpriced garbage.
well it sounds like its got the crappy meal part down pat
It's cheap, but the price doesn't reflect it.
BUFFALO, N.Y., Jan. 22 (UPI) -- A poultry producer's reorganization has contributed to a chicken wing crisis ahead of Super Bowl XLIII, suppliers in chicken wing capital Buffalo, N.Y., say.
The Dec. 1 Chapter 11 reorganization filing of Pilgrim's Pride Corp. of Pittsburgh, Texas, has reduced the nation's wing supply, Buffalo suppliers say.
Add to this the fact that national wing demand this time of year far exceeds that of other times, like chocolates around Valentine's Day.
The combination has made prices soar, suppliers say.
"Forty pounds (of wings) would be like $85," Sam Musolino, owner of Sammy's Pizzeria in nearby Niagara Falls, N.Y., tells WIVB-TV, Buffalo.
He used to pay only half that amount, he says.
Musolino says he is so fed up with how much he's paying for wings that he's calling on other suppliers to boycott them Monday.
"Pass it on to everybody (so) that ... nobody could serve chicken wings for that day," he says.
No word on how big the boycott will be.
Buffalo's La Nova Pizzeria sells wings to shops around the world, WIVB says. But even with that much business, it still feels the pain of higher prices.
The price of chicken wings has gone crazy. I've taken to buying breast, cutting them up Julian style, breading them, deep frying them and then coating them with a homemade hot wing sauce I have the recipe for. Not quite as good as the real wing due to the fact that you have no skin, but at times you can pick up breast for as low as .99 a lb. That is twice as cheap as wings are now a days.
Like I say, maybe not quite as good because of not having the skin, but they are still pretty good if you do the breading right, and no bones.
Today was the first and last time that we will eat at Carrabba's.
Other than the bruschette w/ roasted tomatoes, the food was underwhelming and certainly not worth a 40 dollar bill. I had the spaghetti and it was piss poor. The sauce was watery and for 12 bucks I could have made it better with some Prego sauce and whole grain noodles from the grocery store.
I've eaten there once, I had some rotini with chicken dish that was okay. Their caesar salads are decent. I wouldn't go back.
We have an Olive Garden on the beachside area of where we live and that place is always busy. No hyperbole either - I mean it's literally busy from the time they open in the morning till they close the doors at night.
I ate there once and couldn't believe how awful it was. Not a single redeeming characteristic about the place whatsoever yet it's busy as a motherfarger even during the offseason.
Restaurants in general are the worst. Sometimes they are ok if you are really in the mood to dine out, but otherwise I'll pass. The food is expensive, and factor in tips and waiting for your food. That is why Philly is the best. Just drive 10 minutes from any part of town and you can find a great sandwich shop and wait 10 minutes at most for your meal.
I'll take a hoagie, meatball parm, cheese steak, roast pork, chicken parm over whatever a restaurant will offer any day with all factors included.

I ate there once and couldn't believe how awful it was. Not a single redeeming characteristic about the place whatsoever yet it's busy as a motherfarger even during the offseason.
olive garden is the white person equivalent of red lobster
Except Olive Garden doesn't use its customer's money to fund their enemy.
Red Lobster ownership is rabid fundie, gives lots of money to Republicans. I doubt the throngs of black folk who eat would care even if they knew.
interesting...did not know that
Olive Garden and Red Lobster are terrible restaurant choices....
i can understand if youre MA and have zesty restaurant choices but i will never understand how someone from the northeast could ever eat at one of those places...i mean maryland has incredible seafood yet there are red lobsters everywhere...and theres olive gardens in the philly new jersey and nyc area like there isnt incredible italian spots every two blocks
well, Americans are stupid. probably the least intelligent country on earth. they follow the ads and for the most part eschew unusual flavor. they like to know what they're going to get. they require parking right outside their destination.
it's pitiful and not a day goes by I don't curse them all to hell
I am not a big restaurant eater, but really you can't get a decent steak at home. There is nothing you can make at home that can compare to a good dry aged steak. What's great in our current time is that several of the real top steak houses around the country are opening restaurants in resort areas that are excellent. I am not talking about franchise swill like Ruth's Chris. I am talking about the real deals. Morton's of Chicago, Gallaghers, Smith and Wollensky. The Old Homestead. Man, I am getting hungry.
ruth and chris steaks are fine and no more of a chain than mortons

I've never eaten at a Red Lobster, and have been to Olive Garden twice in my life and hated it. Premade Italian food FTL
never been to olive garden...i went to red lobster once in my life about a year ago because i figured if that many brothers are going theres got to be something good about it...like maybe backspin is the music channel they pump thru their system
it sucked

Jigy, I am not an expert on many things, okay maybe not anything, except BEEF. I don't drink fancy micro brews or single malt scotch. I don't smoke fine cigars. I LOVE great steaks. Ruth's Chris is average at best. The meat is previously frozen. Morton's dry ages in house and it is easily detectable. Is Morton's as much of a franchise? To me they don't have that franchise "feel". Of all of them, I would lean toward Gallagher's. Steak Oscar at Gallagher's (blackboard special) is damn near a religious experience.
i would never ever touch the Lasagne from pizzahut, that shtein makes me sick. We went to the pizza hut buffet one day since PizzaHut is 5 minutes from work, their mac and cheese was the worst mac and cheese ive ever had.

theres mortons all over the country...shtein theres at least 6 or 7 of them in the balt/dc area alone
theres just a not chance in the world if you were blindfolded you could tell the difference btwn a steak at ruth chris vs mortons
one time you might be able to identify which one was mortons then the next time you would pick ruth chris but out of ten chances it would be like 5-5 or 6-4
No way. I can definitely tell the difference. It's not worth debating. Morton's though on my all-time list isn't in my top 3 anyway.
3- Old Homestead ( I am picking OH over Keene's because OH has more than 1 location)
2- Smith and Wollensky
1- Gallagher's

They are pretty farging good.
I've never ate at a Red Lobster or Olive Garden, and I don't eat at over priced Seafood restaurants very often, maybe once every few years. I live around 10 miles from the Chesapeake, and find it much more affordable, and also more tastefully satisfying to either hit one of the many seafood markets in the area, or just go down to one of the many piers and buy right off the boat directly from the waterman. Imo, it's much, much more important that your seafood be fresh for the best flavor. And really, seafood isn't that hard to cook. It's messy as anything, but usually it's steamed, broiled, or deep fried. Not hard to cook at all. Oysters are in season right now, and I had some fried ones this past weekend. They were some kind of friggen' good, too!
As far as steak goes, I've never eaten at a Ruth Chris. I've heard they serve good aged beef, but they are way, way to pricey for me. As far as I'm concerned, I can find a good steak on sale, USDA pime, or even Safeway's ranchers reserve, and cook it on my weber for as good a steak as I'm ever going to get for the money.
what the hell are you some kind of frontiersman
I ate raw oysters out of the Chesepeake on my last job. fargin' fresh and delicious as it gets.
i want my seafood served to me by some surly crusty voiced waitress from dundalk who isnt getting my beam and cokes filled fast enough because shes in the parking lot on her fourth smoke break since i arrived
No, I'm practical. Why pay upwards of 40 bucks for a steak when you can buy one and cook it for a third of the price? Same with seafood.
Remember those pics of the crabs I posted this summer?? The crab cakes were friggen' awesome and no one will tell me that a 18-20 buck platter from some restaurant taste any better. For one thing, most restaurants use homogenized crab meat, and while it's not frozen, it ain't fresh.
Most use foreign crab and lots of filler. Real Chesepeake crabcake is hard to find.

Yup. I know for a fact that 80% or more of the Crabs served in my area are from the Carolina's. They use fish in their pots, and the crabs taste like it. I've even seen crab meat in some markets from friggen' New Zealand.
My mom's recipe for crab cakes is what I use and it's pretty damn good. No filler, that would have been like sacrilege.

Yeah, they came back pretty quick from the hurricane down there. I would have thought their seafood industry would be hurting a lot worse than it was.
I'm not saying I don't eat out at all. I did eat a crab cake platter at the Moose lodge last week. It was a 12 dollar special, two cakes and two sides. The cakes weren't overly big, but they were really good. The cook is an old shore gal. She's got a real good recipe. Also, 12 bucks is more like my price range.
no disrespect to ma dukes but id be shocked if she could make a crabcake better than timbuktus...and i understand the parochailism of it all but really who the farg cares where the crab comes from as long as its good...like anyone could tell the difference btwn a md blue crab and la one
sadly i can, Chesapeake crabs have a different flavor. I'm not saying i dont eat crabs from other states, but there is a reason why Chesapeake Crabs are lauded worldwide

With that comment, I'm going to say you've never had a Wye River crab or Chester River crab. It's not as much the crab itself as it is the bait. Maryland potters and trot liners use chicken neck, bull lip, or eel. Down south they use fish. I'm shore that there are some potters in MD. using fish, but I've never seen it.
Besides, I thought you didn't even like crab?
go to timbuktu whose crabcakes are almost universally known as the best around and tell me they arent better than anything youve ever had...and they dont use maryland crab

Pretty much.
I dont think I went to a chain joint more than 5 times in the time I lived there. With all the mom and pop places available, where you get much better food...there is no reason for the chains to exist up there.
Down here there's nothing but. And I'm sick of the same old places. Now I hit up the little mexican taquerias, a hamburger joint called SOuthwell's and a few other local places.
Papasito's used to be great back in the day in houston. Go over to Bay City, we used to always go to Landry's.
Oh yeah, I kill Pappasito's. Their fajitas are awesome. One of our corporate guys was here last night and he took us to Pappadeaux's. That place is expensive as farg, and I dont really like fish. But I killed some cajun chicken and shrimp.
Wanna die fast? EAT AT CHILI'S! (http://wehrintheworld.blogspot.com/2009/02/calorie-distributions-of-22-popular.html)

I use FitDay to track my calories each day and when we'd go to Chili's I would go get the nutritional facts from their website and input them. SO by looking at that several times I know what to stay away from. I usually eat some skillet queso and a turkey sandwich.
theres a reason why chilis is the best chain restuarant food around...now we know why

Bojangles. Holy shtein. Why was I not eating more of this the last 7 years?
Their biscuits make my woodrow woody.
Abandoned "eating right" for much of the weekend.
Saturday lunch at Bojangles:
Cajun filet biscuit - 454 calories
Cajun pintos - 110 calories
Sunday dinner at Sonic:
2 Jr Deluxe Burgers - 350 calories each
Small Tater Tots - 200 calories
Sonic is pretty darn good, but Bojangles is definitely my new shtein.
you should abandon counting calories too
I'm not counting in general. But I was proving to myself that the bang for the calorie at Bojangles is far superior.
I think you are or you wouldnt have posted that.
matter of fact you just posted a Chiles calorie counter as well--which I did note and will never go to again--so mission accomplished
If there's a place I enjoy a lot that has online nutritional info, I'll check it out.
IGY's going to be mad at me for adding years onto your life, though.

Me and some of my boys from work were eating at Pappadeaux's the other night and I swear that they must have sung Happy Birthday 10 times. It seemed like every 5 minutes they were coming out to sing. And this is a somewhat pricey joint $40/per person type place. Annoying.
birthdays are contagious at places like that.
I used to go to Carrabbas with a buddy of mine and his family for birthdays and such. We'd bet a meal on the over/under with the number of times they would come out and sing happy birthday. On a weekend night seven was about average but I think it's gone down over the years.
Helpful hint: when in doubt take the over, and if need be order an extra couple of drinks and desert (the John Coltrane is pretty good and takes a while to eat).
I was in Greenville, SC last week for work and our customer asked to take us out for lunch. I told them I wanted someplace that would offer more local flavor, so they took us to http://www.buckysbbq.com/ (http://www.buckysbbq.com/). I had the bbq pork sandwich, sweet potato crunch & cole slaw.
While the place wasn't anything to look at, the meal itself gave me that same satisfied, soul-fulfilling peace that is normally only found after having sex with someone other than my wife.
Next time you have bbq at home, you need to make this: Sweet Potato Crunch (http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1938,145171-246199,00.html), just use walnuts instead of pecans.
i so wish i liked bbq...it sounds and looks so delicious but i just do not like bbq sauce at all
i'm making Pulled pork as we speak in the crockpot. Bought a pork shoulder(didnt realize this one had the skin still on there) pour white vinegar and malt vinegar over the meat, add Stubbs Pork marinade, and Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, and let it cook for 8 hours on low
im gonna make some carolina bbq sauce soon, that seems to be my favorite, even though im not a huge vinegar fan...odd

Odd indeed. I'm more a fan of the aforementioned Sweet Baby Ray's than the "Carolina-style" stuff.
I love Eastern Carolina style sauces. There is a place in Duck, NC the Duck Deli that used to sell this E. Carolina Blue Sauce, best sauce i ever had, but the company went outta business, or changed their name.
i have this but one quiznos sub, get one free coupon on my desk. i don't think i've ever actually eaten at a quiznos. are they any good?
The best roadside BBQ experience I ever had was a place call Buster's BBQ in Calistoga CA. My cousin got married out there last year and my cousin & I snuck out of the post wedding party to grab some BBQ beef tri-tip with a habanero-like BBQ sauce, along with corn on the cob and bbq baked beans. It literally made me feel like I had an orgasm. A good orgasm, not one those weak dribbling ones either.
If you can get a butcher shop to cut you a tri-tip roast, just coat it overnight with a garlic salt & smoke it.

this was just confirmed by every co-worker i asked. how is quiznos still in business if they are so gross?
the best BBQ i've ever had was in san antonio. place called rudy's, i think there are a few of them there. you pick what kind of meat you want and how many pounds of it you want. they throw it on a plate and hand you a couple pieces of bread and then you eat at picnic tables with all of their different sauces on the table. it's delicious. i bought a big bottle of their dry rub and i basically rub it on everything (including my penis).

Quizno's i think relys on advertising to keep people coming in. I've never heard one good thing about one. Subway should be called Sandwichway, they dont have subs
Quiznos is no worse or better than Subway, depending on what you order. That said, if you get something that tastes ok, it probably is no good for you and you might as well have gone to Bojangles regardless. So, they really don't add value and should all be replaced with Chilis.

It's pretty much assumed that anyone eating there wants their stuff toasted; otherwise they'd just go to Subway (who ripped off the toasting thing a couple of years ago) since it's cheaper. Then Domino's came out with their own toasted sandwiches, and I think Arby's is now doing it too. Dumb. I haven't gone to any of those fast food places in over a year but I used to go for the mesquite chicken or the sweet onion chicken teriyaki because they aren't regular sandwiches that you could just get at Wawa. If I want an Italian hoagie, I'm going somewhere else...

Subway and Quiznos should not even be in business in the NE. With all the mom and pop sandwich shops and Wawa up there, why would anyone ever go to Subway or Quiznos? I know in the time I lived up there I never went. I always hit up one of the local joints.
And I ended up eating a roasted chicken on wheat from Subway for lunch.
against my strong objections my girl gets the chicken there...my appetite literally gets runied if i watch them pull it out of the water
I always wondered why people would even consider entering a Subway in South Jersey or Philly. Of course, the same can be said for a Chili's or Applebee's as well, so...

I always wondered why people would even consider entering a Subway in South Jersey or Philly. Of course, the same can be said for a Chili's or Applebee's as well, so...
subway for the seafood and crab
chilis for the el nino margarita (their tostado nachos are nice to)
note* - dont ever lump applebees and chilis together again
note** - i couldnt care less if any or all of these places went under tomorrow
ChiChi's used to be a good place. Just had a good mexican meal and margarita at a place by work called amazingly "The Mexican Restaurant"

no doubt. IMO if you are in philly and want a sub you should hit up Primo's. There is one on Chestnut St and one on Ritner St. Huge subs with quality. Plus they have ridiculous names like "The Crusher" and the "Bada Bing" http://www.primohoagies.com/main/
ritner is the only primos that should ever be frequented...or i should say once you go ritner youll never go another...the difference is tangible
I know i'll get killed for this, but the only place in Delaware to get a great sub or cheese steak is Casapulla's. It's all about the rolls. There's another pretty popular sub shot, Capriottis which has expanded into Las Vegas, Arizona, Florida, but i think they suck, zesty rolls, and a high white trash worker factor.
no doubt--Sarcones rolls or bust
altho both are fantastic primos gets the edge over sarcones
a couple people at our tailgate used to bring capriottis thanksgiving hoagies...they were pretty good if they didnt have the cranberry on them

thats the Bobby, and the only reason to eat Capriottis. When you take real turkey, put it with stuffing, and cranberry sauce = awesome.
have you ever put gravy on them and heated it a little...whenever i was eating one i used to always think how good id be if i did that to it
sb can you look at the locations on capriottis website and tell me which one would be best to go to if i just wanted to jump off 95 grab a hoagie and jump back on
Or you heathens could go to White House in Atlantic City and get real food.

Neither do you.
What did you expect, it's New Castle.
The Silverside one isn't too far off 95, but I don't want IGY getting lost in the milky white burbs of North Wilmington. He might not survive.
Aston's definitely your best bet. You get off at the market street exit, take a left and you'll hit Carpriotti's before you get to the 5 point intersection. Pretty sure it'll be on your right.
i like white house. but thats probably just because i'm in AC so much.
thanks sb...im definitely gonna grab a thanksgiving johnson next time...my girl loves the hell out of them too
my usual stop for eats coming home from philly is either diconstanzas...a 500 yard drive off exit 2 in boothwyn...they lay claim to having "invented" the italian hoagie...its a really good spot if youre coming home from a game in philly and dont wanna go up in the city
or if coming down the turnpike then the italian kitchen in pennsville is so money...unreal individual stromboli pieces

i went to gradeschool right up the street from the New Castle one, i went to the Basin rd. Capriottis 3 years ago and got into a fight with the lady working there because i wouldn't say Wit or Wit Out on a cheese steak. At what point do these WT muthafargers from newcastle think they are Philly? Pissed me off, if i want to have a cheesesteak and talk like that I'll go to Genos for the novelty and mostly because i need to eat after a sports event.
IGY, if you are planning to stop off at the one by my crib hit me up. I'm literally 5 minutes off I 95, so its easy to swing thru. I'll definitely look at going to diconstanzas. We tried to ship some subs from Arizona's Capriottis to my bro in Hawaii, would have cost over 125 bucks and they couldn't make any guarantees if it would have been good when it got there. Sorry Don Ho.
:-D
I don't think I've met one person from New Castle that seemed even a little bit normal. Props to you for eating anywhere near there.

you heads that live in Baltimore, Im pretty much here every week for work...are there any of those sandwich shops or anything worth trying close to University of Maryland Medical Center near Eutaw St?
di'pasquales is the only place in bmore ive ever gotten a worthy sandwich but its in east baltimore
is that near Johns Hopkins Hospital
i mean they are both east baltimore and JH is certainly closer to di'pasquales than UMD but you couldnt walk to or anything...JH is more downtown
yep-appreciate it

Carolina Ale House FTW
Voltaco's in Ocean City is probably one of the best hoagies I've ever eaten. Used to be a family tradition. In the summer you have order them 45-60 minutes ahead of time. So worth it. Their dinners are also off the charts fantastic.
Living in the farging armpit of Fredericksburg, I only get a decent hoagie when I travel back home to Philly. Living this far from there really drives home how excellent the local mom and pop food faire is up there, everything from pizzas to hoagies to steaks. So farging hungry now.
I ate at Voltaco's a couple of summers ago on vacation. Still as good as it was 25 years ago.

Not yet, didn't really know it was there (don't get to Bonita much, though I drive through it almost every day on I-75). Next time we're up that way I'll give it a go. Has to beat Quiznos and Subway.
There is a place in Ft. Myers called Jersey Mike's (I think it's a chain) that claims to have Jersey Shore food. It was alright, but I've had better.
Another place in Ft. Myers is called Philly Junction. It's a mom-and-pop place that serves decent hoagies. They import their stuff from PA and it just tastes better. Too far away from home or school to get there more than once a year. That's probably good for my cholesteror level.

I had an excellent meal from Outback Steakhouse tonight. We weren't all that hungry so we ended up getting three kids meals from the takeout. Each meal had a nice size chicken breast, loaded baked potato and soft drink for $4.99.
Awesome.
stop
its no surprise that outback steakhouses steak is not even that good, but what many people dont know about is their alaskan king crab legs.
if you get roped into going there again--Im telling you get up on it
yeah sure
outback is fine chain but lol @ them having good seafood or 'awesome' chicken...the only thing they serve worthy of extra mention is their house salads and their draft beers are uncannily cold
jesus all of you are fat
cant trust skinny people
For $4.99 it was a great frigging deal. I thought I made that clear but amazingly enough the message didn't quite get through. I blame myself, actually.

We're also white.
the only 2 things i've ever ordered from the menu at outback are the bloomin onion and the alice springs chicken.
grilled chicken breast smothered with cheese and bacon. it's pretty hard for anyone, including a chain resturant, to farg that up.
their bread is pretty damn good too, i'll give them that.
I was browsing through the book "Eat This, Not That" in Target yesterday and saw that those Bloomin' Onion things have like 2700 calories. :o
i got a one a couple months ago at outback...it was my first visit there in years and years but it seemed to me to be incredibly small compared to what it was...and i think the sauce it comes with is better than the actual bloomin onion...it tastes like the burger king onion ring dippin sauce
Where do you think the suits at BK got the idea?

Doubtful. More like Howie Roseman. He evaluated the tape, recipes and pitched the idea.

That's what I usually get. The g/f likes it there and there's one on her way home from work so it's win/win.
I'm going to eat at La Bec Finn within the next month or so. I'm sure it'll be the greatest meal ever.
seriously le bec fin sucks...incredibly small portions of not that great food...if youre gonna spend that much anyway go spend it on the tasting menu at vetri
I have $300 in gift certificates so it's not costing me a dime. The food sucks? I know fancy restaurant portion sizes are small but they're usually packed with flavor. Do you know the dress code? I can't find it on their website. What I really want to know is if it's business casual or do I have to wear a tie.
i dont know for sure but id say its business casual
you wouldnt be out of place in a suit tho
the food itself doesnt suck i just think the price to food ratio sucks...full disclosure tho i am not a huge fancy french food fan...i love bistro type food but not so much what le bec fin does...cant go wrong with a gift certificate tho
French food farging sucks. If it's free then fine but farg that tiny portion cream laden "we surrender" horseshtein.

Prison Loaf
Maryland Lockup Uses Horrid Bread Dish as Disciplinary Tool
How do you handle a hungry con? If he ain't misbehavin', regular old, godawful prison food will do. But if he's been bad, and if he happens to be a resident of Baltimore's Maryland Correctional Adjustment Center, he might be stuck eating what the prison calls a "special management meal," and what the inmates call.... Well, this is a family public radio network.
Let's just say the inmates don't like "prison loaf." And that's the whole idea. It's all part of a wider effort to "discourage negative inmate behavior," Warden Thomas Corcoran tells Scott Simon on Weekend Edition Saturday.
Sort of a carrot-and stick approach to corrections, then. Except that the carrots in this case are finely grated and mixed with wheat bread, fake cheese, spinach, beans, raisins and other ingredients to create what Simon concludes "smells a little bit like the food they serve in the elephant cage at the National Zoo."
But how does it taste? "Blander than bland," declares Simon, who bravely samples the product on the air.
Inmates sentenced to loaf-consumption are served the horrible stuff three times a day for about a week (each loaf weighs a pound). If they keep their noses clean, they can then go back to the relative culinary delights of regular prison fare. If not, it's back to the loaf, which Corcoran says adheres to all nutritional guidelines, and even meets the needs of most special diets.
Does it work? Corcoran says that in the two years since the prison's behavior-modification program -- including the loaf -- was instituted, the incidence of inmate assaults on prison staff has been cut in half. "The proof is in the loaf," he says.
If you want to judge for yourself, here's the recipe:
Special Management Meal
Yield - Three Loaves
• 6 slices whole wheat bread, finely chopped
• 4 ounces imitation cheddar cheese, finely grated
• 4 ounces raw carrots, finely grated
• 12 ounces spinach, canned, drained
• 2 cups dried Great Northern Beans, soaked,
cooked and drained
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 6 ounces potato flakes, dehydrated
• 6 ounces tomato paste
• 8 ounces powdered skim milk
• 4 ounces raisins
Mix all ingredients in a 12-quart mixing bowl. Make sure all wet items are drained. Mix until stiff, just moist enough to spread. Form three loaves in glazed bread pans. Place loaf pans in the oven on a sheet pan filled with water, to keep the bottom of the loaves from burning. Bake at 325 degrees in a convection oven for approximately 45 minutes. The loaf will start to pull away from the sides of the bread pan when done.
(http://www.npr.org/programs/wesat/features/2002/apr/loaf/loaf2.jpg)
shtein...at least they try to make the ingredients flow together.
TDCJ, when we would put an inmate on "food loaf" was whatever was on the menu, put into a blender, water added and then baked into a loaf.
The breakfast ones were the only ones that looked/sounded edible. You can mix breakfast foods.
But when they'd have some shtein for lunch, like spaghetti, broccoli, garlic bread and chocolate cake? Barf.
can someone tell me the difference btwn lo mein and chow mein
Lo Mein is more of a standard "spaghetti" or "angel hair" type of oriental noodle. Chow Mein is that crazy screwy looking thing.
Or there's always Wikipedia:
QuoteLo mein is a Chinese dish with noodles. It often contains vegetables and some type of meat or seafood, usually beef, chicken, pork, shrimp or wontons. Traditionally this is a variation of wonton noodle soup. The soup is simply separated from the noodles and other ingredients and served on the side. However, the version sold in many places in North America is rather a hybrid of chow mein, though they are prepared differently. Chow mein is stir-fried while lo mein is not fried.

and you can't treat mom on Sunday
went to a chain restaurant over the weekend call Cheeburger Cheeburger. it was pretty good. big burgers with tons of free toppings and bangin milkshakes.
its half five guys half fuddruckers and not as good as either
not that either 5g or fudd are great
there's a local chain out here called crazy otto's. kind of an old diner type place. i had a $3 off coupon so i decided to give it a try. bacon cheeseburger, fries, salad and drink. when i paid i pulled out my coupon and she rang me up at $15. i showed her the coupon and she said she already applied it which means that my total was actually $18.
18 farging bucks. food was good but not $18 good. or even $15 good for that matter.

I ate at the one in the Malvern area when I lived there...pretty good.
ate at on the border yesterday (g/f's treat). Aside from hbionic I doubt anyone on here has eaten as much good mexican food as me. I wanted to rip the place but it wasn't bad. Guacamole is made fresh daily. I had the mahi mahi fish tacos thinking they'd be horrible since I used to eat some really good ones when I lived in SD. They weren't the best but they were good. Overall I'd probably go back.
you talk about on the border like its new...did they just make it up there in philly?...or had you just never been before....theyve had them down here forever
to me they are like the fridays or bennigans of mexican food....in other words awful

you talk about on the border like its new...did they just make it up there in philly?...or had you just never been before....theyve had them down here forever
to me they are like the fridays or bennigans of mexican food....in other words awful
There's been one at the Neshanimy mall for quite some time, I just never got around to eating there. And 'On the Borders' food is hardly awful. I'm not gonna sit here and compare them to any of the places I've eaten in San Diego or Mexico but for a chain they were pretty good. I was looking to rip the place A) because my g/f wanted to eat there and B) I haven't had good Mexican food since I left SD.
its not awful in that you physically cant eat it but its pretty farging bad...then again i despise chain food for the most part
and forget san diego or mexico its not even as good as any little mexican places in maryland....i dont want white kids with seashell necklaces serving me mexican food...i want some chick speaking broken english and rockin a gold pre-molar
i can understand going to a chain for chicken tenders or even a hamburger but i cant understand why people go to them for ethnic or sea foods
We had a black chick with a philly accent
Who cares if it's a chain or not, what you're trying to tell me is if I took you to some ragtag dump run by Mexicans with broken English and served you food from On the Border you'd like it
absolutely not
chains cant make good mexican food...i dont know what it is but mexican chain food is utter garbage....waaaaay worse than chain american food even...mostly because mexican food depends so much on fresh ingrediants and you aint getting that off a sysco truck
Phreak would agree PAPASITO's is a delicous mexican chain, or at least used to be a great mexican chain

Tomorrow, June 5th, is National Doughnut Day. Why do you care about this? Because it is your opportunity to grab yourself a free doughnut. And as we all know, free doughnuts have no calories. Actually, that is a lie.
In honor of National Doughnut Day, participating Krispy Kremes are offering one free doughnut per customer, no purchase necessary.
(We feel compelled to mention that the company just released their earnings and the news wasn't good. Fiscal first-quarter earnings skidded 53%. So, maybe if you're feeling generous and want to take pity on them, you might want to buy a coffee while you're there.)
Dunkin' Donuts also has a deal -- participating locations will give every customer a free doughnut of their choice, with the purchase of any beverage, limit one per customer.
if you're the sort to get annoyed easily, call first to see if locations are participating.

krispy kreme is huge pretty much every where except the north east. dunkin donuts has a seemingly impenitrable stronghold there.
down south and everywhere heading west is krispy kreme though.
Krispy Kreme had a pretty big footprint in NCC Delaware. Once the first bad earnings went out though, they disappeared overnight. It was surprising considering there was always a line when you looked in the buildings. They were so much better than the smaller donuts that Dunkin Donuts puts out now.
i never heard of kripie kreme until i moved out to kc back in 2000.
i'm still partial to dunkin donuts. overall, i think they have a better selection and their donuts just taste better, even if they are smaller.
and when it comes to coffee, dunkin donuts is superior by far.
Tim Hortons trumps all

thats cause dunkin donuts doesnt make their own donuts on site anymore...they contract it out...they went from being insanely good to basically inedible
i knew it, they went from good to blah, and they shrunk in size.
they used to be warmy goodness....man i loved the vanilla iced when the icing was still a little melty from the heat...it all ended when they started making baskin robbins/dunkin donuts gas station stores

Developer of Chili's restaurant chain Brinker dies
Tue Jun 9, 10:40 AM EDT
Norman Brinker, the restaurant mogul who developed the salad bar and built a worldwide casual dining empire that includes Chili's Grill & Bar, has died at age 78.
Brinker died Tuesday at a hospital in Colorado, said Robin Rymer at Swan-Law Funeral Home in Colorado Springs. She did not know the cause of death.
Brinker retired as chairman of Dallas-based Brinker International in 2000. The company now has 1,700 restaurants in 27 countries, including the On the Border and Maggiano's chains, according to its Web site.
Brinker started with a coffee shop in Dallas in the 1960s. He developed the concept for Steak & Ale casual restaurants, with its popular salad bars. He also developed the Bennigan's chain.
He bought Chili's and expanded it, taking his company public in 1983.

Got a buy one/get one free coupon from a co-worker for Ruby Tuesday. Went tonight and got the steak & lobster tail combo for two. Steak, lobster tail, loaded potato, steamed broccoli & all you can eat salad bar for $18.99 for two full dinners. It was actually a nice piece of meat and the lobster was about 6 ounces. Not bad at all especially for the price.

I've rarely had a bad meal at Ruby Tuesday. I especially love their salad bar.
their salad bar is ok the rest is trash...only good thing theyve ever had was the buy one beer or cocktail get a second one for a penny

Ruby Tuesday is without question the worst sit-down chain I've ever eaten at. Eaten there about 5 times at different places in different states and every time was worse than the last. Atrocious food.
Now you're sounding a bit like vigy, worst this worst that.
applebees is a billion times worse than rubys but rubys is zesty like diaper
i would put rubys probably in the middle of the pack of chains....but keep in mind there is only one good chain in the country (chilis)

One example does not make a trend. And actually I'm embarrassed to admit that I had momentarily confused Ruby Tuesday with Applebees. I've probably actually only eaten at Ruby Tuesdays twice in my life and couldn't care less about it. Applebees is the worst. The absolute worst.

And Chili's is the one chain I absolutely can't stand.
chilis and outback are the 2 that i can tolerate more than the others.
anyone ever eaten at 54th st bar and grill? it's a chain in the same mold as ruby's/crapplebees/etc but not in every single town and has a moderately more diverse menu.
outback is tricky to rate because its supposed to be better than chilis and fridays and bennegans...but it really isnt...or barely is...and that might make it worse

have only been there once about 3 years ago and agree with everything you wrote. Would never go back.
Unfortunately I was actually thinking of Applebees. Ruby Tuesday is probably meh-minus on the rjs scale, but I have no intentions of ever going back either way.
Without the coupon I wouldn't even look at the place as I drove by but I have to admit it was really good.
It's hard to pass up steak and lobster for $10 no matter where it's from
I've only been to an Applebees 2 or 3 times in my life, the one thing they usually have that's half decent is some sort of hybrid quesidilla. I know it's hard to mess up bacon, cheese, beef etc.
My g/f really likes Cracker Barrell, every time I go I get the campfire grill. They basically chuck a bunch of veggies and meat into a tinfoil and cook it in the meat juices. It's very ma and something my distant cousins would cook up 25 years ago when we were visiting them in the pocono's during the summer, but it's worth the $8.

it really is. We always get a few boxes on the DE/MD line in Fenwick/OC and eat it on the beach, good shtein. I wish English's chicken was closer though, that place has a great recipe.
i never heard of english or for that matter zaxbys...are they md places?
I found a place down here that has chicken fried steaks the size of the plate. I think I will use my "cheat day" wisely and hit that up for lunch today. That or fajitas...not sure yet.

IGY had my dad sold on working for the gubament at one tailgate
we never go to the buffet, i'm the same way i hate people and buffets bring out the lard asses who eat for hours and wheel their oxygen tanks with them.
They have takeout, we normally just get that and bring it on the beach with us. There used to be one up the street from my place in Bethany, but they have the worst marketing i've ever seen. shtein its 2009 and they haven't formed a website. You'd like it if you like fried chicken, its not crispy the same way as Royal Farms, its a darker thinner type(not as breaded) of fried.

Damn...i'm jealous. I wish I would have known about that before taking this gig down here. The pay is great but time off is hard to come by. And its stressful trying to hit numbers every month in this economy.

Axel Sanz-Claus, a tourist from Germany was enjoying a perfect visit to New York City until his dinner Friday night.
He ordered steak and spinach from the Bull and Bear Steak House at the Waldorf Astoria.
Sanz-Claus spoke exclusively to Eyewitness News claiming that hidden in his food was a tampon, a blood soaked tampon.
"I had it in my mouth, chewed it and nearly swallowed it," said Sanz-Claus. He adds, "This is so disgusting, I've felt sick ever since."
This diner says he rinsed his mouth with brandy then went to the bathroom to vomit. He says the hotel then called an ambulance. Sanz-Claus claims the doctor in the emergency room cut the object in half and confirmed it was a used tampon. New York Presbyterian today confirming he was treated at the hospital.
wow. just wow
he took an unconventional route to get there, but as far as i'm concerned, he still earned his red wings.
Steak Tartar?
So apparently Chick Filet gives away free chicken for a year to 100 people whenever they open a new store. There is 200 people outside of the one up the road from where i live. White trash love their chicken
I suppose 101 through 200 can't count?
It's Elkton Dio, i'd say 85% of people here cant count.
You guys seriously have no idea just how evil Truett Cathy is. Trust me, he is.
i'm imagining a plate of steak and spinach. i don't see how a bloody tampon hides on that plate.
maybe the steak was very rare.
anything served with a tampon is pretty rare
perhaps the dude ordered his extra bloody.

that would make him a beaner. which would be rather redundant.
I ate at Whole Foods this morning in Orlando. I had a mushroom, spinach, tomato & cheese omelet that was just amazing. The thing was huge and only ended up costing me $2.52, which if you know Whole Foods, is like free.
Also got a couple of the beef & chicken empanadas for breakfast for tomorrow. Those things are delicious too.
for the most part, i'm a cheesesteak traditionalist.....don't get too wrapped up in the different varieties of cheesesteak. usually it's steak, cheese, mushrooms. depending on my mood, either wiz or provolone. it's also been a few years since i ordered a cheesesteak outside the greater philly area because nearly every one i've had has been disappointing. i bucked both trends yesterday.
went to a local sammich shop for lunch and saw a bacon cheesesteak on the menu. at first i dismissed the notion but some guy 2 places ahead of me in line ordered one and when i saw it come up, it looked and smelled pretty damn good. so i went for it.
overall, i'd give it a b-. plenty of steak and 5 good sized strips of bacon topped with a wiz-like cheese sauce. the downer to it was that the sandwich was on the smaller side, the bacon appeared to be low(er) quality bacon and there was almost no grease at all to be seen. not bad, but not great either though.
There's a joint down here near where I work that does a bacon cheesesteak. Dude who owns the place is from Bridgeton, NJ and he does a pretty decent version of it. Only thing is he uses Amoroso rolls which I think are worse than the sort of hoagie rolls you can get from most supermarkets, but it's better than nothing, I guess.
Anyway - as long as the bacon is extra crispy I'd eat it with just about anything - even cheesesteaks.
one of the things i want to accomplish in life before i die is to destroy the notion that amoroso rolls are somehow good much less the best bread out of philly and the fact that they represent the city to people that either dont live there or have moved away and forgotten how good real philly bread can be and is
ive been meaning to go to this little french bistro in the west village called tartine for a long time...finally gonna go next weekend and just found out that gerard butler ate there not long ago....if it was anywhere else on the planet you wouldnt be able to get a seat for at least the next year but because its nyc that shtein doesnt even register on the restaurant richter scale cause no one up there gives a shtein about stuff like that which is what makes it probably the best place in the world to visit

You're farging ridiculous.
youre clueless....if a no name senator shows up at a certain restaurant in dc its book solid for a few months...obama went to a friggin five guys and you couldnt get in it at lunch time for weeks and weeks
i can name five not even especially great spots in dc that became instant hot spots because nicole kidman or vince vaughn ate there
how you can even deny this is pretty nutso
the point is tho that ny is so big and so new york that no one gives two shteins when a celebrity goes somewhere...they just dont care which makes it undeniably awesome
somebody loves Entertainment weekly, i had no clue who Gerard Butler was
entertainment weekly is that hit....way to much tv shtein for my taste...but they have excellent movie critics and overall great takes on pop culture
altho i read the newspaper cover to cover every day (minus the business section) and thats where i get most of my pop culture info...waspo style section is an excellent read almost every day
knowledge is king
i hate society, and cant wait for Zday.
i love it and hate it....but the knowledge lets you know who you should hate and why
for example if i didnt know better i might have grown up learning how to treat women from ice cube and eazy e...but because i was a student of pop culture i instead took after the big ragu and whenever i entered a room id tap dance with my satin embroidered jacket on.....oooooh the ladies would flock to that jacket
then theres the people...i love people...and why they do things...like jose lind driving his car without pants on...oh and how about that "rusty kuntz"....lol

This is really what it boils down to. The fact that IGY is so impressed with a nobody like Gerard Butler eating somewhere is just a microcosm of this stupid society's obsession with celebrity. Who farging cares where that assbag eats or what he does? Even worse, why would a goofy middle class white dude sports fan ever give a flying farg about it?

youre clueless....if a no name senator shows up at a certain restaurant in dc its book solid for a few months...obama went to a friggin five guys and you couldnt get in it at lunch time for weeks and weeks
this one was my favorite
"oh my god Shirley...we have to go to over to 5 Guys early its going to be packed there. Obama was just there 3 weeks ago and supposedly he loved their french fries and spoke spanish to the cook...he might come back..."
I mean I cant eve...
you should have seen it....an effin five guys...like everyone hadnt been there before...but the president goes there and you couldnt get in for lunch anymore....matty might have actually experienced it as i think he lives right by it and/or may have worked by it at the time

i was never a huge baseball card guy but i did love that year with the wood panneling
A lot of people hate the wood panelling but it was classic IMHO. I'm a fan of the hated yellow '91 Fleers too.

lol.....i've been that douchebag. well, me and like 5 of my douchebag friends. table seated 8 and a couple that was on their first date had the unfortunate mispleasure of being seated with us and one of my buddies was totally cock blocking the guy and hitting on the girl and actually ended up getting her number. farged her once and never called back.
in other words, hibachi is a terrible first date resturant.
ha, i'm going to one tomorrow, but we're just going to sit a the sushi bar. Love sitting on the glass at a sushi bar, if you strike up a conversation, and dont be a fleshpop, you get all of the good sushi, and they'll look out for your. The gift back is you tip well, and everyone is happy. I love Sutoshi's world or however you spell it
talk about people who don't post here anymore. wtf ever happened to that guy?
sushi bar is great too. and you're right on about the treatment. a local hibachi out here has a thursday night special, all you can eat sushi for $9.99. insane. i could never have sushi for an entire meal, but i do enjoy having a few different pieces. this resturant is pretty strict though about not sharing the sushi special but my g/f and i were talking to the guy while he was making everyone else's sushi and i went to take a piece off my g/f's plate and he looked at me and said "no sharing!" so i put it back on the plate and about 30 seconds later he walked over and told me that the owner was not too far behind me and was getting ready to say something to us. then he told me i can eat whatever i want off her plate since the owner went back to his office. he also started making our drinks a lot stronger. so yeah, he got a very nice tip.

The Quick 10: 10 Secret Menu Items
by Stacy Conradt
Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to seek out covert items at fast food chains around the country. Be warned, this mission includes very real dangers such as hardening arteries and skyrocketing cholesterol. We've compiled a list to get you started.
100x1001. In-N-Out Burger's "secret menu" isn't so secret these days – in fact, they've posted it on their website. But in case you're not in the habit of surfing fast food sites, here's the skinny on the rather un-skinny items: ordering something "Animal Style" at In-N-Out means you're going to get it with lettuce, tomato, a mustard-cooked beef patty, pickles, extra spread (it's sort of Thousand-Islandy) and grilled onions. You can even get your fries Animal Style. "Protein Style" is a burger wrapped in a lettuce leaf instead of a bun. A Grilled Cheese is two slices of American cheese, lettuce, tomato and spread on a bun (grilled onions if you so choose). And you can get just about any combo of meat and cheese that you want if you order it like you're ordering lumber: 3×3 gets you three beef patties and three slices of cheese, 4×4 gets you four of each, and so on. It doesn't stop there – one gluttonous patron requested a 100×100 at an Las Vegas store a couple of years ago. One item not listed on the website secret menu: the Flying Dutchman, which is two slices of cheese sandwiched between two patties, hold the bun.
2. If you're at Starbucks and in need of just a little caffeine, don't worry – there's a tiny option for you. It's the Short size, and they don't advertise it. It's like a little baby cup of coffee. It also comes in handy when you're scrounging for change and don't have enough for a tall... not that that has ever happened to me.
3. It's a good thing we don't have Jamba Juice here in Iowa, because I would be all over candy-based smoothies. Because it's considered a health-food chain, Jamba Juice doesn't officially list these on their in-store menus, but Mighty Foods assures us that the secret flavors exist. The ones they confirmed with the company's headquarters include Strawberry Shortcake, White Gummy Bear, PB&J, Various flavors of Starbursts, Fruity Pebbles, Push-Up Pops, and Skittles. Other tantalizing flavors that are rumored to exist: Chocolate Gummi Bear, Apple Pie, Sourpatch Kid, Tootsie Roll, Chocolate-covered strawberries, and Now and Later.
4. Chipotle has a whole secret menu that is limited only by your imagination – they have a store policy that says that if they have the item available, they will make it for you. Things that have been tested include nachos, quesadillas, taco salads and single tacos. Some stores are testing out quesadillas as a regular menu item, however, so maybe someday soon you won't need a super-secret handshake to order one.
5. If you're at Wendy's and you're really hungry – like, three-patties-just-won't-cut-it hungry – go ahead and order the Grand Slam, which is four patties stacked on a bun. It's also known as the Meat Cube. Gross.
neapolitan6. Several places, including McDonald's and In-N-Out, will serve you the Neapolitan milkshake. It's just what it sounds like – chocolate, vanilla and strawberry shakes layered in a cup. This gives me a great idea... I wonder if they would make me a mint-chocolate shake when they have the Shamrock Shake in March. Hmmm.
7. Feeling a little health-conscious at Popeye's? If you are, you really should have gone somewhere else. But there's a little hope for you – ordering "naked chicken" will get you breading-free poultry. The word is that this is on the menu at some Popeye's, but not all of them, although it is an option at all of them.
8. Like Chipotle, Taco Bell will make you just about anything within reason as long as they have the ingredients for it. Since most of the food at Taco Bell is made out of the same basic items, that means you can probably ask for most discontinued items and get them. One "secret," though, is that they have a not-advertised green chili sauce at most locations, and apparently it's excellent.
9. Some Subways will still make you the popular pizza sub from the '90s. Once the chain decided to make their focus healthy eating, the pizza sub disappeared from the menu in most places (the word is that Canadian and Mexican Subways still offer them on a regular basis). But if you ask, lots of places will still make it for you. Be warned, though – Jared would not approve of the nine slices of pepperoni and copious amounts of cheese slathered in marinara sauce.
10. This one might be my favorite. At Fatburger, you can order a Hypocrite – a veggie burger topped with crispy strips of bacon.
lol @ the last one.

ive been there probably over 50 times all told (when you're out in pitt it sort of just happens), and i had a famous fries/slaw sandwich the first time i went and never again. ever since, i've only dealt with the periphery of their menu, where the stuff is neither great nor horrible.
yeah primanti bros sucks...but somehow everytime i go to that craphole of a city i still get one
went to some local chain out here called claim jumpers last night and had a sandwich called "the motherload." bacon, smoked turkey, tri tip, ham, 2 or 3 different cheeses, lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion. damn thing ended up being at least 8" tall. i was barely able to eat half of it. but it was delicious. still is actually as i'm eating the rest for lunch right now.

wow.
my sqaudron had a chili cook off today and my savage lady friend took first place. for all of her hard work, my commanding officer awarded me a day off. farging eh!
You can spend that day with your ass on fire. Way to go.
has anyone tried the KFC double down? i'm very impressed by the way they substitute bread with fried chicken breasts and then fill it with bacon and cheese. i would like to try one.
is it called the double down because your cholesterol doubles after eating it?

well really good bread is way better than fried chicken...great bread might be the best food in the world other than maybe great cheese
but obviously kfc does not have good rolls
however to me its not a sandwich if it isnt btwn two pieces of bread
this thing should really just be buried in a mound of mashed potatoes covered with gravy and eaten that way
Potato bread roll?
i know ive been known to exaggerate somewhat but no lie this time
martins hot dog potato rolls are better than sex
Your sex sucks.
haha
And I like potato bread.
youve clearly never had martins
and while their hamburger rolls are amazing their hot dog rolls are just magical
they really deserve their own thread where we just post pictures of them
they are the kardashian of food
I would gladly go for days without eating if eating were replaced with sex.
Get your priorities in order.
Yeah, those potato rolls are the shtein.
And I'm gonna guess they don't sell 'em down here. I'll look anyways.
I can't find pierogies either.
But I did find scrapple in HEB the other day.
nice, Scrapple is delicious, just have to find a good brand. Delaware Maid is the best, its covered in lard.
the guests, as they are called, at the soup kitchen where I volunteer, cannot be denied. When you come around with the basket of bread, they prefer, in this order:
Potato
Raisin
White
Wheat
Everything else (multigrain, artisinal, etc.), most of which they reject out of hand even in the absence of the options above

Quote from: Diomedes on April 15, 2010, 08:20:01 AM

So much for the "beggars can't be choosers" maxim.
Tell me about it. The most lyrically gifted welfare-hating, racist conservative would be hard pressed to characterize the degree of entitlement some of these people demand as their birthright. Some of them treat the volunteers who serve them as, quite literally, servants. It's infuriating.
Of course, that's not the majority at all. Most are well mannered, even grateful, and obviously need the help.
The bread preference is however almost perfectly universal. The consensus is clear, and exactly mimics the choice a child would make: sweet, no-nutritional value food>healthy.
artisinal bread at the shelter? fancy.
whole foods and the like get fat tax breaks and free publicity for donating day old bread even though the needy turn their nose up at it.
no joke, I know farmers who feed Whole Foods bread to their chickens because the local church can't move nearly half the donated stuff, so they in turn give the rest to local farmers
at least they can donate it...the rules and regulations on what grocery stores can give away to shelters and other like organizations is outrageous...anything out of date has to be thrown away...for example perfectly fine meat that is a day past its expiration date gotta go...except they will let their workers take some home...but cant donate it to an organization that helps the homeless...
and im talking hundreds of pounds of good ass meats...all the way up to filets
perhaps the law is different regarding bread? at the soup kitchen, we don't care what the date is...we inspect for mold and for stale/hardness, and pitch anything borderline. Which means lots of bread past the sell by date is offered to the ungrateful masses

its not different but youre talking about day old bread....im talking about expiration dates...stuff slips thru but you are not supposed to be getting bread past its shelf date
you'll also get a lot sicker from rotten meat than you will from moldy bread.
you may even trip from moldy bread
its not meat....its ANYTHING...if its past the shelf date youre not allowed to give it away
i was using meat as an example because much of it is very expensive and it also has a much quicker turnaround than most items thus it gets watsed much more often
also the shelf date on meat is a week or more before it would actually be harmful to anyone
when meat turns brownish, i turn my nose up at it
im ok with that but im out when i see hood chedder
Ate at Chima's Brazilian bbq a few months ago, everything was absolutely delicious.
Had my first 5 guys burger and fries, unreal.
Someone took the time to compare the KFC Double Down to other fast food sandwiches. Link (http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2010/04/double-down-by-numbers-unhealthiest.html)

The owners are from Texas, they're cowboy loving fargs, but their food is off the charts, and cheap.
haha...pretty much
my brain hurts. Also, get off the Newark 279 Elkton Road exit, get Sammich, get the farg out of my state.
or use delaware like the door mat that it is on the way to philly where the best sandwiches in the world reside
and get the farg outta here with that bbq crap...move to brownsville if you want that shtein
you'd love it fatty, belee dat
They do dry rub ribs, amazing, but the Beef Brisket sammich with bbq chips, a soda, and their spicy sauce for 6 bucks is a great lunch. They're only open monday thru saturday, 11am-6pm.
bbq might be the only thing i hate more than delware but thanks for thinking of me
you hate bbq but you love black people

If you don't like bbq sauce, and believe it or not there are those kinds of people out there, this makes a killer rub. Bank your coals and cook a whole 5 pounder for about three hours. You can also use some apple, oak, mesquite or hickory chips on the coals.
(http://www.spiceplace.com/images/mccormick_rotisserie_chicken_lg.gif)
Dry rubs are becoming a lot more popular. People are getting inventive in making their own. You can use garlic and onion powder, white and cracked black pepper, paprika, thyme and cayenne pepper for a base rub on chicken. Then add what other things you think you'd like. I like to add some olive oil and vinegar or some kind of Italian salad dressing. Just a little 'cause you still want the rub dry enough to rub it on. Rubs are easy to make and it's fun to try different combo's.

Cheesesteak Pretzel makes official debut today
By Peter Mucha
Inquirer Staff Writer
The marriage of two of Philadelphia's favorite foodstuffs was celebrated today with a lunchtime giveaway at Love Park.
Meet the Cheesesteak Pretzel: a handheld cheesesteak baked inside soft-pretzel dough.
More than 700 were handed out, to mostly positive reviews.
"This stuff is good," said Jermaine Bernard, 33, finishing his first while in line to get a second. The visitor from Los Angeles hoped to try for a third as well.
"Not two thumbs up, but one thumb up," said actuary Derek Eyler, 25, of Abington.
"I would like maybe a little bit more cheese," said real estate manager Mandy Davis, 27, of Center City. While a regular cheesesteak can be a meal, the Cheesesteak Pretzel, she said, was "more snack appropriate."
"It's kind of a strange combination," said victim advocate Kourtney Burris, 24, of South Philadelphia. "It's straight-up Philly, that's what it is."
The folks at the Philly Pretzel Factory introduced the Cheesesteak Pretzels this morning at almost every one of its more than 100 stores between New York State and Georgia.
The regular price is $3.50, or two for $6. (Get 2 for $4 with a coupon found on Page 17 of today's Daily News.)
Next Monday, every outlet will also serve them up for free between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
It's a twist on the chain's Pretzel Dogs and Spicy Pretzel Sausages - links poking out the ends of golden-brown tubes.
The Cheesesteak Pretzel, though, is totally enclosed, like a knish.
"It's good. . . . It's not messy like a regular cheesesteak," said steam mechanic Bill Toole, 45, of Woodbury, sitting in his truck outside the 16th and Sansom store this morning. "I'm not going to be wearing this all day."
"It's the exact taste" of a regular cheesesteak, said sanitation engineer Aaron Godwin, 18, of Swarthmore. "I like it. . . . There's a lot of cheese in it."
The aim was to add another lunchtime option, said Daniel DiZio, president of the chain, which sold 125 million soft pretzels last year.
A year and a half of research and testing went into the final product, which has American cheese, no onions, he said.
Fried onions were considered, and might be in a future version. The door's open on other possibilities, though don't expect to see a Hoagie Pretzel or salads, said DiZio, 39, who started selling pretzels on Roosevelt Boulevard at age 11.
Makes sense and sounds pretty good. Those might make for a nice concession at a Phils game.

i had one of the best Wawa BLTs of my life yesterday.
Checkers just opened last night in Ltown where the Italian People's Bakery used to be. Dual drive-thrus and the lines were still at least 10 cars deep. Insane...
That's surprising because Levittown is a very health conscious place to live.
Lol @ Levittown for lining up 10 cars deep to eat at Checkers.
In a related story, the Burger King on base was closed for 3 months for renovations (word on the street is they had rats and the place needed to be gutted). They opened back up last week and the line at the drive thru was at least 30 cars long.
1. Who the farg waits in line that long for BK?
2. Who the farg waits in line that long for BK that had rats?
Marines.
Not the brightest stars in the sky.

That farging sucks. Italian People's Bakery was awesome.
Yeah, except that I'm on an Air Force base so it's mostly pilots and NASA engineers. We're the only Marine unit around.
Oh that's right...Air Force range doesn't have the poor brown people targets you Marines require for target practice, we've been over this before.
Sometimes BK and Mickey D'd just sucks you into the drive-thru and you can't get out.
I find myself many of times just driving along, and all of a sudden my hand just makes a right hand turn into the parking lot without my knowing. It's a sick spell.
I love junk food and fast food, and I can't say I've ever had that problem. If I am going to eat it, I planned to find it. You must be a weak-minded piece of shtein.
yeah i treat fast food as a special occasion and always plan it
and im a fatty

They moved into a smaller spot in the main shopping center next to where Shop n Bag used to be (now H-Mart). The crappy building in the middle of the parking lot needed too much in repairs to stay there, so it got knocked down in November...
What the farg is Checkers? Gold dipped hamburgers or something? Gotta be to be lining up 20 deep.
And I love watching the lazy asses who don't park and walk into the store when there is minimal line but yet will sit in a 30 deep drive thru.
And the freakshows who camp out in front of Chik-Fil-A so they can be first inside for free chicken.

for the longest time they seemed to cater to inner city bredren...even today 95% of the ones around me are in black areas
you can get a sandwich fires and drink for less than 5 bucks there
it tasted like tires and was probably made of toxic waste, but a 5 dollar meal is a 5 dollar meal
cant you get a sandwich fries and drink at any ff restuarant for 5 bucks
im pretty sure they all cost somewhere between 6-8 now...like the meals
you can go dollar menu and hit under 5

The Buck Double, Dollar Fries and Dollar Soda + tax at Burger King begs to differ.
i thought they all had at least one burger fries drink type combo meal for 5 bucks
what the farg is the point of fast food if its not cheap....the food is mostly atrocious
Yeah...I completely misread what you posted. I thought you said "you can't get a meal for $5." Dyslexia moment strikes again.
Subway has 5 dollar everything this month. First time I hate there in ages. I had the bacon chicken sub and it wasn't awful.
ewwww i went there once and saw someone get a chicken sub and they literally picked this chicken patty lookin thing out of a vat of water....i dry heaved
I don't understand how Subway can use the slogan "Eat Fresh" when their meat and veggies just sit in those little buckets all day.
Their foot long roll is only 11 inches anyway. But yeah, no one should ever eat there.
im all for made-to-order homemade style food, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with getting a lunch meat style sammich from subway..its the same thing as getting it from wawa, and quite tasty as well.
i go to subway fairly often, but thats mostly because my options are fairly slim around here
the meat at the taco stands taste like rubber....most likely because they are
i dont mind subway all that much. it's just a sandwich.
I actually find wawa completely disgusting. At least in the last 3 or 4 years anyway.

I hit the Checkers in the city before a trip to AC before....didn't even make it halfway into Jersey before I had to shtein.
That stuff goes right through you.
I was out in the boondocks when I ate at Subway. Typical country gas station slash Subway joint. Seriously, it wasn't awful. It was edible and that's about it.

must its just be me because everyone he seems to think subway is fine...i find it absolutely repulsive...i have eaten their tuna and seafood and crab but i would lose a limb before i ever got any kind of "meat" there
oh and wawa is one trillion times better
ironically subway's tuna is one of the least healthiest things they offer. Whenever I went there I got the meatball (meh) or the sweet onion chicken teriyaki (good stuff), but I've never gotten a regular ham/turkey/roast beef/whatever from them...
least healthiest
I ate at The Pit today, which does not belong in this thread. But you fargers won't shut up about Subway, which might be the worst restaurant ever, and I'm sick of it. Barbecue FTW. Subway FTL.
seriously, Subway is awful. and over priced
Nuh uh.
I just ate a Subway.
Because you clowns forced me to. All your faults!

actually their meatball isnt horrible either...its basically the frozen meatballs from price club...you have to question why you are paying for it from subway but still ive a lot worse things
i got subway the other day and same flaming homosexual in front of me threw a FIT and charged out of the place because they gave him 3 pieces of turkey instead of 4. he ended it with "you people.'" wasn't sure whether he meant poor subway employees or hispanics. i wanted to smash him in his gay face.
and why would you ever go to subway and get crab of all things. come on son. i bet its fresh from the sea.
i was sort of hoping matty talking about crabs would be an excuse to talk about the time he actually got crabs

Had a Huge "Cookout Style" burger and an Oreo shake at Cook-Out (http://www.cookoutnc.com/) today. farging delicious.

Negative.
"Mayonnaise: One of the sauces which serve the French in place of a state religion." — Ambrose Bierce
Mayonnaise makes me gag, it's one of the most vile foods ever invented.
It's a condiment, dummy. And it's awesome. I love mixing it with some ketchup to dip my fries in.
Condiments are still considered a food...no?
i saw a bitch eating french fries slathered in mayo. it revolted me for a bit but then i thought she probably likes to swallow come too, so that made it slightly less revolting.
Quote from: SD on February 13, 2011, 11:29:44 AM

I guess they would be if you didn't have any actual food.
i cant imagine not be able to eat a tuna fish or roast beef sandwich....potato salad or cole slaw or any other dishes that are awesome as a result of having mayo in them

Yea. It causes ridiculous bouts of vertigo. I was in the hospital all day two Mondays ago with vertigo. Apparently salt and msg triggers the attacks. Its not a big problem eating at home. Going out for food, not so much.
id learn to deal with it...salt is king
Yeah if it didn't last for 8-10 hours when it hits I'd put up with it.
I'd rather it be sugar. Salt is awesome. I can still have it, but I have to monitor the farging nutritional value charts no the back of everything I get now to make sure I don't exceed daily values. Awesome.
didnt nick esasky have to retire due to vertigo? i bet he still eats salt.
Wow, there's a blast from the past - Nick Esasky.

yep...supposedly they are gonna file for bankruptcy anytime now...they built a new streamlined factory down at the navy in the hopes that it would save money but it didnt work
Guess I'm gonna have to stockpile chocolate juniors and kandy kakes.
they won't ever go bad, so buy as many as you can
Or don't, you fat bastich.
they got an extention on their note till june that was defaulting and if they can not meet that deadline the copmany will look to file a chp-13 re-org. it's up to the creditors if it gets to that point.
if they went back to making them the way they used to, i think they would be fine.
the quality has fallen off noticeably the past few years.
quality?
lol
Apparently the navy yard factory makes 'em quick but doesn't make 'em right. They have to throw away more product, and sales are down too.
I think there will always be Tastykakes (at least in any world I want to live in), but Tastykake as an independent company is not long for this world.
I actually don't remember the last time i ate anything by tastykake. I noticed in our cafeteria that the three pack cupcakes, or krimpets et al are over $1.50 a pack? eff'that, I won't miss them.
Your cafeteria is a rip off because you can buy a box for like 3 bucks.
yeah lol at thinking tastykake is pricing them in that machine
two boxes for 4 bucks at my local supermarket...sun is right tho the quality has gone way down in the last few years
it's not a machine... it's the price stamped on the package by tastykake.
no it isnt its jacked up by the cafeteria...if it was tastykake theyd be 1.50 everywhere

the price stamp can be anything the retailer wants it to say...tastykake will run batches for cafeteria and places like that then run another batch for wawas for example
and you just said you cant remember the last time you had a tastykake and that you just noticed that it was 1.50 in your cafeteria...yet now 10 minutes later you know what they retail for all over the country?
also i just noticed you said three pack not two pack....1.50 for a three pack is not exhorbitant at all especially in a cafeteria

Google is useful.
I wouldn't eat those things for free, so I have already posted too much about this topic.
being fat and buying tastykakes all the time is useful as well
not useful: talking about stuff you are clueless about
Agreed, but you don't need to be too experienced to read a price tag.

Well, technically, free tastycakes would be communist. So eating them would be encouraging communism. Boom.

It's too far away from where you are, but they're opening one across from Sesame Place in a couple of months
there's one in lansdale, which is like 15 minutes from my work. so if i really wanted one it's not far. i just liked having one 3 minutes from my house.
Are they really that good or is there a little corner deli that could easily suffice? Not being a fleshpop just wondering.
i can get good hoagies from a pizza shop
but they had a great chicken cutlet sammie with sharp provolone and broccoli rabe
i haven't seen anyone else have broccoli rabe up where i live.
I don't know the name of the place in Reading Terminal Market who sells them but I would fly there twice a week to get them if I was rich.
Dinic's
That's the one. I was coming back from a Phils game this summer and jumped off the subway just to get one. I'd gladly kill several ethnic groups for one right now.
Why? Because salads suck.
i was in chicago for a week and had pizza a few times. while every place was delicious, i'll take new york style any day of the week. deep dish was just too much of a meal.
new york pizza is clearly better but i love me some armands sausage deep dish

i dont know that it really counts as fast food but steak n shake is as good as it gets for those kinds of eats
I just looked it up. Not S & S but it does look pretty cool.
walked over for lunch and there were about 200 people in line.

went today and had the shackburger and cheese fries. nothing to write home about. i mean it was good but no better than five guys or any of that shtein.

matty might be the only one that could appreciate this but i went to the sbarro in union station today after work and one slice of pizza and a bottle of water was $7.53...all i said was jesus god no and walked away...i then spent my whole train ride home trying to figure out what each cost....kind of like that price is right game
i mean was a slice of pizza five bucks and the water 2.50....that the most legit scenario i could come up with but no way can one slice of pizza be 5 bucks nor a small bottle of water be 250
price of flour has skyrocketed--I believe it.
but the fact you were racking your brain the whole train ride with a pencil and calculator over a slice and water is priceless.

to be fair the one at union station has always been way higher than any other one of ever been to...including rest areas which are rip off joints in their own right...but tonight was just on another level
I obsess over profit margins...I always wonder what a company makes on something.
If they're banging you $5 a slice - figure $40 per pie. What's it cost them...maybe $6 each to make?
And they're bankrupt.
The company is bankrupt but the execs are rolling in dough.

Arby's tonight on the run... :puke
Ate at this Irish joint near Franklin Mills called Katie Odonnells last night. Food was okay but they had fried/breaded hot dogs. They were delicious.
I don't know, man. That sounds revolting.
It sounds like a corn dog with bread instead of corn.
I don't like this allegedly slimmed down Rome. Fat Rome would have tried to eat his monitor upon reading that.
i had a delicious open faced turkey sandwich on friday night at jennings in catonsville md

I've had deep fried hot dogs before. Not a fan. I don't think that's the way God intended them to be eaten. It's like the Chicago style dogs. Putting tomatoes & pickles on hot dogs is just too weird for me, even though I've had them and they're surprisingly delicious. Yes, I'm weird.
you ever have them at steak n shake romey?
one of the best hot dogs ive had in recent memory was a chicago style dog with all those toppings..at a steak n shake in palm coast...i didnt think id like it as the thought of those toppings on a dog didnt appeal to me either but it was awesome
Relish, onions, sauerkraut and mustard
That's all I need for a good 'dog.
Yeah I went to D's SixPax & Dogz this week. Great Pittsburgh place, great dogs, great beer. But their main dog is a Chicago dog. I just don't understand the concept of that dog, and it doesn't look appealing. Maybe like IGY I need to try it to understand.
I went for a chili cheese dog. No problems comprehending that one.
I haven't had the one at Steak & Shake. There's a place here in town used to sell them. The owner was from Chicago and had everything flown in (Vienna dogs, poppy rolls, etc.).
Like everyone else I'm a New York dog kinda guy. Sabrett dogs, cooked onions & spicy brown mustard for me.
Personally, I'd rather have a brat.
Quote from: SunMo on June 12, 2011, 12:50:58 PMthey had great wings though. huge things that came out as the wing and leg connected. really good.
I've been to a few places that do that, and I have to say that I'm against it. Eating regular wings can get messy, but with the big ones it's unavoidable. Half of the wing is jutting out at like a 70 degree angle from the rest of it. The whole table starts looking like a chicken holocaust. The amount of work to get the meat goes up too, like I'm at a crab shack or something. I just want some farging regular hot wings.
Maybe some places (like Moriarty's) have figured out how to do it well, but everytime I've had the big ones I've just wished I had a larger quantity of normal sized wings.
Speaking of wings, last weekend I was driving through Buffalo and stopped at Duff's on a friend's recommendation. Unfortunately they had a one-hour line and I was just passing through town, so I didn't have the time to kill. Anyone been?

I've had deep fried hot dogs before. Not a fan. I don't think that's the way God intended them to be eaten. It's like the Chicago style dogs. Putting tomatoes & pickles on hot dogs is just too weird for me, even though I've had them and they're surprisingly delicious. Yes, I'm weird.
i'm in Chicago a lot these days and am really starting to warm to the chicago dogs. the pizza i still can't appreciate but the dogs are really good. i'm in awe of the unnatural color of their relish.
lol - it looks like it got hit by the same radiation that turned david banner into the hulk.
shake shack is coming to philly next year....gonna be across the street from village whiskey
you been to the one in DC?
new york
it wasnt anything special...i was more posting it for informational purposes
i feel like they would serve a much larger purpose if they werent in cities...like if there was one by my house id probably go on a semi regular basis...but in a city theres gonna be at least five places much better within walking distance
shake shack is meh.
they just opened one inside nats stadium too.
the four horsemeals of the eggporkalypse
Ha. The fact that I actually know what you're referring to is upsetting but sort of awesome.
Care to share it with us, sir?!
i was in a rush this afternoon so had to bang out a quick lunch at mcdonalds. they have a new thing called the daily double, which is just a double cheeseburger with lettuce tomato onions etc. $1.89. i'd eat it again.
So it's the McDouble, which costs $1 and comes with pickle and onions, and are charging you an extra 89 cents for a piece of lettuce and a tomato slice.
that would seem to be the case.
i didn't know doubles were only 99 cents.
The meal I usually get when I get a McDonad's craving is the 2 cheeseburger meal, fries, and an orange Hi-C.
zesty food never tasted better.
Had some delicious fried trout at this small Bar/liquor store up the road from me Saturday night for the fight. This place was always a convenience store for the tourist that came through. The guy who bought it popped in a bar, stopped selling toilet paper to campers, and has menu of wings/burgers/fried trout/meatball subs. The "carolina water" at 2am was pretty good too.
mcdoubles are like $1.29 now.
they are on the "value" menu, which places use to call the dollar menu but they changed that so they could start creeping their prices up again

Ditto...a McDonalds lunch is not the same without Hi-C orange.
Also, everyone I was with got apple pies with their meals...is this something new they do now?
McDonald's burgers and fries might be the only food in the world I eat in full taking about 2 breaths and not one sip of soda during.
It's one of the most disgusting and fascinating foods of all time. True genius.

isnt the far superior double cheeseburger 1.29 and the mcdouble is a buck?
Any faux burger meal is incomplete without a fake apple pie to top things off, obviously.
People are fat.
Anybody ever have the peach or cookies and cream milkshake at Chick-Fil-A?
Holy Christ.
cookies and cream is incredible haven't tried the others
so i had some friends come over to my house yesterday morning and we all got really high and decided to find the best fried chicken in dc. (ironic racism because it was MLK day not realized until later, honest coincidence). long story shot, we spent over $40 in a cab going from place to place to place and everything was closed for the holiday. ended up going to bojangles. still delicious as farg but in a city like this it should not be that hard to find some really good fried chicken.

I'll see your racism and raise you a stereotype.......all the good fried chicken joints are black owned, thus took the day off.
in Baltimore, it's Chuckie's in Hollins Market
To celebrate MLK Day I spent the afternoon beating a round white thing into the ground with a bunch of iron clubs.

problem with dc is it has fine upscale restaurants but terrible low end street type food
which is probably why the best fried chicken in the city is at georgia browns
Walts chicken (http://www.waltschickende.com/) in Wilmington was the best in Delaware, which IGY will say is like being the smartest mongoloid at the special olympics, but they have damn good chicken. We always had them cater parties, prices were good, and their hotsauce was the perfect combo of vinegar/heat.
yeah theres no doubt that place is average at best....and probably terrible
The greens were not terrible.
favorite new chain: Hip Hop Chicken and Fish
Whoever started this place is gonna be rich rich rich.

Wow. That's not just a bad review, that's straight up hatred.
Between the article itself and the pics, it looks like he just opened up a 3 story Applebee's but doubled the menu prices.
the prices are unreal
$30 bucks for a guy fieiri entree.....riiiiiiiight
He's on my top 5 most hated TV personalities.
not counting fox news of course
They would account for 97% of any list.
btw speaking of food and tv anthony bourdain is going to cnn and will have a new show there starting next spring

I cook asparagus the exact same way only I use a Weber with charcoal. I use olive oil and parmigiano-reggiano on it and it's freaking delicious.

The Juan Valdez stand in the Wanamaker Building farged up my non-toasted poppy seed bagel with butter on 2 occasions.
The first time, they gave it to me & said they didn't have butter. I handed it back & said use cream cheese. He handed it back & said they are out of cream cheese. I handed it back & said give me my $1.10 back, then her got all pissy.
Today I asked for it non-toasted, then watched him put it in the toaster. He took it out & handed it to me without butter. I had to ask for butter & he tossed some butter pads on the counter for me.
I hate to sound like a little bitch but it is a farging bagel with butter, that's it. If you can't do that without farging up, then you need to jump in front of a bus.
I love reading old posts like this. Literally busted out laughing at the last line.
I have a charcoal webber as well but I didn't wanna take the time to build a fire yesterday with the games on and it was only me and my ho piece and really fast cooking food
What did you coat it with?
olive oil s&p
