The Sun giveth and the Sun taketh away. You must make sacrifices to ensure that it returns. edit: the recent infatuation with bacon is the dumbest, most baffling, most American poo poo. I can't loving stand it.

Bacon is good but extremely overrated. I can't go vegetarian because barbecue is insanely dope.

Pork pork pork. edit: which is hosed up, because I'm fully aware of the intelligence and adorableness of pigs, but I get by by not thinking about it. You know... the indifference of good men and all that.

It's just the trend of the day (and I think it's actually dying down). Maybe two years ago, every goddamn restaurant and QSR joint was featuring something on a pretzel bun. Two or three years before that, every goddamn thing was "chipotle-flavored." Next year I fully expect "breakfast for dinner" to be a major part of a lot of places' marketing mix.

I mean, the bacon thing has really already passed. There's just still some people who haven't given it up. Since then we've had the sriracha craze and the ghost pepper craze. I'm not sure what we're on now.

I don't get going someone and paying someone to make yo ua grilled cheese. They sell cheese and bread at that store. Any kind of cheese and bread you could want. It's like the eaziest possible at home comfort food. The poutines thing I get. Even Wendey's has a knockoff poutine right now. edit: I love the idea of street food. I don't like the hipster food truck craze. I want a card of actually cheap, decent food, where I go up and give the person some money and they hand me a tasty food. The overpriced novelty of a food truck in a college town is garbage.

Pork products are good but out of all the meats it's the one I could most easily go without. Beef on the other hand...man, I know there are hella problems with the beef industry but I just have to submit to being part of the problem.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:There's this local place here in New Orleans called The Big Cheezy and they're all about gourmet grilled cheeses. But it's not like the only sell standard grilled cheese sandwiches. They sell delicious sandwiches with all kinds of cheeses, all kinds of breads, all kinds of meats, all kinds of sauces, etc. And granted, you could probably make the same thing at home if you tried, but that's kind of true of any restaurant, so if you're using that line of reasoning, why go out to eat ever? Right, but at this point it's not a grilled cheese craze, it's a sandwich craze, which is again, understandable. Eating out is where about 60% of my money has gone. I hate doing it, but I have friends who use eating out as a way to cheer up when they are sad, and when they are sad is the worst time to be a dick to them about money. I drink the rest of my money. Hence upcoming sobriety attempt number whatever. if was up to me I would cook 98% of my meals. I love to cook. I cooked all day on christmas. I baked cookies and made ham and made mashed potatoes. I made a loaded baked potatoe soup on christmas eve, and last night I made steak with mushroom and red wine sauce. Also I just ate hotdog rice. Which is significantly less classy. It's where you cut up a hotdog and throw it in the rice cooker with your rice. it's like a 50 cent meal.

In my case, I enjoy eating out because it gives me something to do and somewhere to go and I'll be around people and I won't just be some depressed fucker cooking for myself at home  Also because there are a lot of dope restaurants in the area and I like food. Food is good and cool. Except when it's hot.

Alfred P. Pseudonym posted:I go to food trucks because it's the only way to get Indian food where I live which is some bullshit Indian food is amazing. It's something I wish I had discovered years ago. On food chat, I got a gift card for Chili's through my works secret Santa. I'm convinced this was a re-gift. It expires pretty soon so I should probably use it. I've never bothered going there before and I've only heard negative reviews. Is anything there worth eating?

Trying to do an Oscars sweepstakes at the office and I'm a bit clueless about what are likely nominees for screenplay. Like, what counts for and against a screenplay? Talky films are good (Steve Jobs, Hateful Eight), but other than that I have no idea at all.

I don't know, Ex Machina. Maybe Sicario. For adapted, I'd think Steve Jobs, The Martian, The Big Short, Carol and Trumbo.
