Seriously, whale is probably the most underrated meat in the world. When it goes bad it goes *really* bad, but a good whale steak with a nice wine and some appropriate garnishments is absolutely delicious.

ReindeerF posted:Hey guys check out this rice and b- Okay, when you say plantains are you talking about tostones or maduros? Also, ReindeerF, how is Cambodian? I'm going to a Cambodian place this weekend and allowing for the likelihood that stateside Cambodian is a whole different thing, I figured I'd solicit input.

More bars in the Atlanta area are serving boiled peanuts as appetizers. They range from worthless to pretty decent. Please contribute opinions about boiled peanuts (p-nuts) thank you.

The Warszawa should make it a part of his trip to follow 538's burrito-bracket recommendation, given that the Bay Area apparently reigns supreme in this department.

There is something weird with strong tasting bad food where people who are brute-forced into liking it in youth end up REALLY liking it. (I am like this with Totino's Party Pizzas.)

Majorian posted:Does anybody know any good bbq in the Santa Barbara area? I've been living here for a year and I don't know where to go. If you include pit stuff in your definition of bbq then there should be plenty of decent Santa Maria style tri tip places around you. If you want anything outside of that your best bet is to just make your own. The Warszawa posted:I've never actually been to California but I really want to go. Not sure whether to go to L.A. or the Bay Area. The Warszawa posted:I'm either doing tourism really right or really wrong because my itinerary is always the same: As an LA native who actually really likes LA, I still usually tell people to do tourist-y stuff in the Bay Area because the Hollywood stuff people normally do is lamest poo poo on the planet and the Bay Area is much more compact and easy to get around. However if you stick with that itinerary and also really like Korean food I'd say come to LA, the food and night life in Koreatown can be quite fun and the Getty museums beat all the cultural institutions I've visited in the Bay Area. Though it'll still suck overall if you don't rent a car, public transportation can get you pretty much anywhere, but the sprawl means that it'll take forever.

zoux posted:I thought you were Native American? Jagchosis posted:I'm just curious, but in Westminster what would you say the proportion of Catholics amongst Vietnamese-Americans in that community is? I ask because my fiance's entire extended global family comes from the tiny minority of Vietnamese Catholics. First I'm curious if Catholics made up a disproportionate part of the refugees. Second, because I only ever hear about or deal with Viets that come from a Catholic/filial piety/even more patriarchal family background, and I'm kinda curious what the familial politics are like in Buddhist families. it does remind me that one of my mom's stated reasons that buddhism is better than catholicism is because you don't have to go to church every Sunday.  Warszawa, if you ever go to the l.a. area, swing by Westminster, it's like an hour south; there is some fantastic Vietnamese food and shopping.

I guess I'm late to this conversation, but if you're going to somewhere in California, just go to the Bay Area. It's got everything you want to see and do, and it's ridiculously easy to get around.

Vox do it as well, and it just makes them feel like a newspaper-slash-BuzzFeed for the cool kidz. EDIT: RE falafelchat, if you're ever in Paris, one of the places in the Jewish Quarter has the best loving falafel.
