I thought you meant he was ODing on the cheese itself at first, and was thinking challenge accepted

Idk I’m not very picky about biscuits, as long as I have a drink or butter I don’t care how dry they are.

the beans and rice and mashed potatoes with gravy are good. can't forgive them for getting rid of dirty rice

never occurred to me to order mac and cheese, not really a cajun thing. probably just on the menu for little kids

Skyline is weird and fun. Regional quirks like that are wholesome

Besides I don’t think the actual food is prepared any better or worse than any other fast food diner type place

I haven’t had Gold Star (the other competing chain that’s only in Cincy) to compare with, curious if it’s noticeably different.

I ordered some packaged Skyline chili a bit ago, since I'm not going to Ohio any time soon, and I didn't love it. It had a couple strikes against it - the packaging affected the flavor, and I didn't give it the whole spaghetti + cheese OD treatment. I think you also have to go into it telling your brain it's not the default chili you can get anywhere, the difference in texture and spices is pretty jarring. I could see myself liking it, but I think it'd have to be the fresh version straight from the restaurant.

All the Illinois restaurants reminded me of a very aptly named town there, Sandwich, which used to have the best police vehicle design before they repatterned it to remove the comedy potential like a coward:



I've been there a fair number of times, because there is/was a big outdoor flea market every year, which was a lot of fun to browse around. I never actually ate anywhere in town, so I was curious to see if there was anything interesting going on in terms of terrible restaurants. Sadly, they mostly seem to be the usual mix of fast food and mediocre local places, but I did find a few funny reviews along the way.

There's a legal loophole in WI, at least in my city, where they pay out. I don't know what it is but my friend helped with finances for a bar that had them and he said I'd be very very surprised. People just sit on those machines all loving day at bars and liquor stores and poo poo. None of them talk. It's weird.

Also, all of that food is just :psyduck:

Is it like the Golden Tee bar machine? Ostensibly just a video game you pay 25 cents to play. In reality, a huge gambling enterprise. Golden Tee. Folks lined up to play and gamble.

No. Video slot machines and stuff. I think.
