This is an amazing review

"The dark, deafening dining room — it’s on the second floor, but it feels like a basement — is all sharp angles and oversaturated colors, like a supervillain’s lair. From the dark recesses of a window booth, you can see a silhouetted ring of people lustily shifting their weight from one foot to the other in the cone of bright light that engulfs the grill. This must be what it feels like to have dinner adjacent to a cockfight. "

That's just how processed cheese looks when left in the oven for an hour, I have first hand experiences.

Also can it even be called lasagne when you use rotini pasta?

Wal Mart sells escargot, I guess. (Shells that you have to sanitize first and then slip in canned land snails.) There's caviar, too.

Jesus christ, these still exist?

I ate at one back in like 2009, at the Palisades Center mall in Nyack. It was exactly as described in the review, just ghastly. But then it was closed and gone like two months later. I assumed it was just a, uh, flash in the pan.

Why are these apparently thriving and the actual Mongolian BBQ fad that gave unholy birth to it is over?

I've become a fan of BD's Mongolian Grill mostly because I have working taste buds and a general sense of how to cook, so I'm able to combine ingredients that taste good together and give it to someone else to cook it for me. Unfortunately, not everyone is quite this lucky and ends up just mashing together weird poo poo because they've never cooked in their lives and think that mashed potatoes and calamari would probably be great mixed together and slathered in cheese sauce.

We had a BD's near my house, but it closed when the property owners raised rent to an untenable level. The only time I get to eat it now is infrequent visits to the Detroit area.

That looks suspiciously like rotini to me. Did they really gently caress it up to the point where they used the wrong pasta for their pasta dish?

That place sounds OK to me. You could go there and eat something horrifying, but that would be on you, not the establishment.

I get that it seems pedantic but the name of the noodle used is identical to the dish in this case. Carbonara actually can be made using different pastas because the dish isn't named after the type of pasta it's made with. I don't really get what you're going for here.

Pizza melts are a real thing, I mean, it's usually a thing you get on a dingy east coast boardwalk after playing drunken minigolf on top of a dollar store and perusing a comic book/magic the gathering store's stock that hasn't been rotated since 1999 but is priced like it's 2035.

It's not even the worst kind of boardwalk food. One time in the early 00's on the New Hampshire boardwalk I go what was termed an "extreme pizza twist" which was a cooked pepperoni pizza that had been rolled, battered and deep fried. My entire life has been a perpetual quest to find any food that tasted that good again.

To make money.

Poor people like to feel fancy sometimes? A lot of people in the US would have to drive well over 100 miles to go anywhere else that sells those things.

Meh, some dweeb lost his mind about carbonara a thread or two ago and I was just calling back that more than commenting on this.

The important thing is that it made me laugh.

Only until that burger is technically a pizza, at which point there are no pizza rules.
If pizza on a bagel is a pizza, then that pizza melt is also definitely a pizza.

They weren't even normal taco shells, they were taco shell boats I guess you could call them. Right around this time a major grocery store was getting bought out and they deeply discounted their stock and when I went to go check it out there was tons of these taco shell boats-I bought a pack and they were the same ones served to me at the restaurant. It was a "fusion" cuisine place, and we were also served some pretty okay sashimi as well at the same meal.

This is one of those mental images that'll be in my head forever, so thanks for that.

As I lay dying due to an unfortunate injury sustained while gathering morels, I'll say my prayers, send mental goodbyes to my friends and family, and with the time left before the light fades from my eyes, I'll reflect on the time someone went to a restaurant, got drunk on cheap wine, ate canned green beans in a taco shell, then ate raw fish after being served canned green beans in a taco shell
