It you were to add Marmite to a beer brew, would the yeast get prion disease? Could you call the beer Mad Yeast Stout?

Squashy Nipples posted:I have a specific restaurant in Kyoto I can recommend. It's vegan, 5 course of tofu. Gave me a new appreciation for tofu. Here you go, this place was specifically recommended by my Marketing Professor, a native Japanese guy. This is in the middle of the ceramics district in Kyoto (where shop keepers go to buy the beckoning cats), so it's not really in the middle of the woods... but WHAT an illusion!   Frankly, the best meals I had in Japan, I was taken to by various local friends/classmates/colleagues. You probably aren't going to get into the really exclusive places without someone who speaks the language and knows the culture. This place isn't very exclusive, it was just difficult to order without Japanese... and there are only two things on the menu.

Squashy Nipples posted:Here you go, this place was specifically recommended by my Marketing Professor, a native Japanese guy. That's pretty interesting / awesome. Thanks for digging it up! I worry about the language / exclusivity thing. But, though it'll be my first trip to japan, I don't plan on it being my last, so not going to worry too much about it. But, I appreciate tips like this, which I would never have come across most likely. Anything similar anyone knows of in Tokyo also much appreciated. That's where I really worry I'll miss out on the cool poo poo. I'm game to just blindly wander and walk in to places though, so hoping that'll work out.

What the hell is wrong with you people? Rotting cabbage, burning peppers, hanging raw meat in a closet and fizzing bacteria farm yoghurt is fine but vegemite beer is what makes you go 'ew gross'? Shame. I'd drink it. Probably not great, but there are a lot of cheap lovely beers. There's a noble honesty about jailhouse hooch.

are burritos in san francisco actually really good, beyond what you'd find in another major city with a hispanic population? this is not a trick question. only been to sfo once and did not eat a burrito. need internet authority in a moral argument about burritos.

Mission burritos are grand, and not everyone does them quite right. That said, places like chipotle and qdoba do a fair impression of a mediocre mission burrito. The very best are going to be named specials at some places in the actual mission district, if you're going for authenticity. e: the hands-down best mission burrito i ever ate was in Berkeley, so

burrito "quality" is all about ingredients and assembly, two things that can ebb and flow over time at small businesses, even day to day depending on who's working, what suppliers came through, and a million other things. pointing to one taqueria or w/e like people do is usually a fool's errand and/or just clickbait for the kinds of people who won't go anywhere the internet doesn't tell them to what makes the Bay good is there's a shitload of the kind of talent you can't really teach or recruit, dudes who grew up getting taught by their grandmas to make carnitas and mole and poo poo. that kind of skill can be found elsewhere too; it's just been here a little longer in greater quantity so the reputation is established. plus it's a lot easier than most cities to find stuff like lengua and tripas; it's like a whole city that has the kind of selection you normally only find at specialty hispanic carnicerias

Mindphlux, if you're coming to Tokyo, you're going for monja/okonomiyaki with me. Monjayaki is a Tokyo Bay area creation, thinner and more soupy than okonomiyaki. There's also a surprisingly large group of goons here that are good people off the forum, who are always up for an impromptu goon meet! Don't have PM capability, but I'm happy to answer questions and help out with anything else. Get me omegabeardsa at that google domain.

Don't like seafood, so as long as it's not exclusively that, I'm good. In Vancouver (assuming you mean Vancouver BC and not WA). More recent place I have been to is The Flying Pig (http://theflyingpigvan.com/) for brunch, I had the corned beef hash and it was quite good. It helped that the server played/entertained our 1.5 year old daughter during the whole thing, so it was quite a pleasant time! I also liked Pidgin (http://www.pidginvancouver.com/) enough to bring my brother when they visited; I think they changed management, so not sure if this is different, but when we went the prix fix menu would be expanded with more variety the more people were at the table. Which was a good thing, instead of just getting the same 5 dishes (for 2 people), we ended up getting, I think, 9 different ones (for 4 people). I've heard good things about The MacKenzie Room (http://www.themackenzieroom.com/) which is on my todo list. Also on my todo list is Frets Whisky Kitchen (http://www.whiskykitchen.ca/), apparently they have a stupidly large selection of whisky and the food is good too. Les Faux Burgeois (http://www.lesfauxbourgeois.com/) is a not crazy-expensive good French food restaurant. L'Abattoir (https://www.labattoir.ca/) has a French-touch, but is local fare food, and quite good. We have repeated these two. Vij's (http://www.vijs.ca) has good modern-Indian cuisine. They don't take reservations, so you have to be there before 5pm and line up to get a table. If you don't get into the first seating, you can order drinks while you wait and they will serve you bite-size appetizers too. If you want really upscale, there's Hawksworth restaurant (https://hawksworthrestaurant.com/). Went there a while back, but it was good and has a good rep, on the expensive side though. Another upscale restaurant that I quite liked was Lupo (http://www.luporestaurant.ca/), they had a good selection of wine and the food was good, though it was also a while ago and I can't quite remember what I had. For more day-to-day eating out. There's plenty of vietnamese restaurants with good pho. There is a great dosa place called House of Dosa on Kingsway and Knight that has great Indian/Sri-Lankan food. Dim Sum is also a thing to eat here, served around 10am-1pm, we sometimes go to Sun Sui Wah (http://www.sunsuiwah.ca/) on Main street, or to Kirin on Cambie (http://www.kirinrestaurants.com/). Banana Leaf (https://www.bananaleaf-vancouver.com/) has pretty good Malaysian food, they have good lunch menus. I could go on, but maybe say more what kind of food and dining you want to do.

Look what someone left in the garbage room: http://imgur.com/a/zYgzM You can see in the photos I've already cleaned the first two (Bar Keeper's Friend!), but I'm not sure what to do with the Calphalon, or if I even want it. I'm not even sure what kind of material it is exactly. Edit: I believe this is the All-Clad but I can't be sure, there's no model number on it.
