Anyone had a crappy meal at a cheap joint lately?

Mrs. Demon sprained her ankle today pretty bad, and has to stay off of it for a couple of days.

Upcoming dinners:

Sunday: KFC Bonless Bucket
Monday: Sandwiches from B.W. East's
Tuesday, if she stillcan't walk: Buffalo Wild Wings. I think they do like 25 cent wings on Tuesday, so we'll be eating a bunch.
Wednesday: She damn well better be walking by then!

Quote from: Father Demon on April 27, 2007, 10:17:50 AMI'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.

Pssst. A tip for you. Most Martian style restaurants don't cook anything like they do on Mars, either.

Yeah I used to carpool with a Chinese guy and ate over his house several times. Nothing like the crap we call Chinese here in the US and he wouldn't be caught dead eating that crap himself. I'm sure I'm in the minority but I just don't like Chinese restaurants.

I don't like Chinese food, so you're not alone. Then again, I am an extremely picky eater for a large man.

Americanized "Chinese" food is delicious.

Some of the comments left by the respondents were pretty funny:

Good-tasting, if only until your left ventricle finally gives out.

Love the cheese-flavored plastic!

E. coli is free with every order.

Best consumed drunk.

It's hard to tell where the food stops and the Styrofoam containers begin.

The only thing healthy about the place is the exit door.

They should be
cited for posing as a restaurant.

Not sure they
use real cows.

Responsible for the downfall of modern civilization.

Staff seems in some sort of psychic pain.

i'm in knoxville, tn for a few days and i stopped at some place Kristal to get some breakfast this morning. it was a cup filled with sausage, scrambled eggs, and a biscuit, covered in white gravy.

i feel like i might puke and maybe have a small heart attack.

paula deen made this exact thing on her show the other day except that everything you just listed was bedded on top of a layer of buttered grits

phattymatty · June 19, 2007, 09:10:44 AM

it was pretty tasty until the chest pain started.

That's why I want to make butt love to that old hag. It's like she makes food with the express purpose of giving you a stroke. I love her.
