I don't really see why anyone would use ketchup when barbecue sauce exists.

I mean, I'm not opposed to it, I just don't understand.

Barbecue sauce can be good if it doesn't have the overwhelming sugar flavor (which is also why ketchup is terrible) that most popular ones like sweet baby rays etc have. It should have at least some spice to it if you're going to use it at all. Generally though I think barbeque that is dry-rubbed with no or very little sauce is just better. When I get a pulled pork sandwich that is half pork and half sauce it feels like i'm eating very sweet catfood.

Yeah, the only things I feel should be sweet are candy, sodas, and fruit. Keep it out of the sauces and most food dishes.

Even those things shouldn't be so drat sweet. Fruit can do what it wants because it grows naturally but candy should have flavors other then "every last molecule of sugar we could cram into this size."

All the cooking blogs and newsletters and such are in full-on seasonal fumbling to outdo one another w/r/t grilling ideas and such, and so it only just occurred to me that I've never had a satisfying "stuffed" burger - by which I mean a burger in which there's ingredients, usually cheese and some other traditional favorites, put inside the patty before cooking.

Leave all that poo poo on the outside of the patty. Just build it normally. The patty is not a dumpster.

The real reason is for Instagram.

IIRC they failed because the color of a food has a way of loving with your perception of its taste.

That colored ketchup set off so many subliminal red flags I felt ill just looking at it.

Like, you could honestly probably sell green ketchup by making it a natural looking green and calling it "tangy/zesty green tomato" ketchup and putting a pic of some chopped green tomatoes next to bowls of spices on the label. But they went all out with "Our poo poo is so fake we can just dye it any color because it's just a bunch of chemicals anyway! Here's some neon!"

I should have gone into marketing imao, but I am cursed with having a soul.

E: lol you could probably even sell purple ketchup with some vague reference to heirloom tomatoes. They just hosed up by making it look like Nickelodeon Gak.

A bar that opens at 9 should not turn the jukebox on at 9 because absolutely no person who wants to slam some coins into a jukebox at 9 should be allowed to choose any music ever.

Taking the term "Koopaling" to a whole new level since 2016.
The colored ketchup did taste differently, I remember, but I always figured it was because of what they used to change the color of it. I do think that with proper marketing, they could easily sell green ketchup.

I always wondered why they never did different colored mustard.

From my experience(was an unemployed drunk for six months about 7 years ago) people who hang out at bars in the middle of the day are some of the most non-judgmental people you'll ever meet. Which makes sense, you don't just end up at a bar, four drinks in by 10am for no reason, everyone there has their own poo poo going on.

Simply in terms of flavor, satiety, and service, I've never had a bad time at the much-maligned Olive Garden.

It doesn't make my list of "discretionary calories/income," but if someone genuinely loves the place and wants my company, I know I'll have a perfectly nice time.

That said, I'm never touching another Olive Garden breadstick after discovering that just one of those squishy garlic planks is the nutritional equivalent of like 1/3 a cheese pizza.

Not many and the smell still makes my stomach clench up. Smelling them for 8 hours a night really kills wanting to eat them. Every once in a while I'll be able to eat one now, but even then I sometimes smell it and decide I don't want it.

A glazed old fashioned is the best though. That much I know.

A big part of what makes chain restaurants like Olive Garden and Applebees bad though is cleanliness. Inevitably you have people in positions of responsibility who don't really care about the overall quality of the restaurant, they have no sense of ownership because it's all corporate. So the entire staff will do the absolute minimum required to keep their jobs, and it's a gradual decline where these places are usually pretty decent when they first open up and then within a few years they smell terrible because the carpet never gets cleaned and you'd never want to eat there again if you saw what goes on in the kitchen.

Kerplunk, Dookie, Insomniac, and Nimrod are all great albums that have held up. After that they fell into the music industry trap of "let's make an album that rides on one hit and one or two other good songs. Everything else is filler." Minority and American Idiot are good songs but basically everything else around those songs is forgettable.

People dig on pizza places and workers all the time but having actually *done* it I have total respect. It's actually not that easy guys. Take Domino's for example. Every day you're prepping products, the dough is hand formed, you're memorizing weights and measurements, and most employees care a great deal about keeping things sanitary. It's not just throwing stuff in an oven, there's LOTS of pre-planning and work involved. Take Pizza Hut for example. There's loads of different crusts and combinations and those things are all hand prepped (the stuffed crusts are a major pita btw.) Give your pizza place the benefit of the doubt. Most of us give a drat and work like dogs so you can have a good experience.
Note: except Papa John's. gently caress those guys.

The only reason I think Green Day is noteworthy is that they created the song that 90% of highschool senior classes throughout all of history and the future will use for their graduation song. It's not even a good song but if you go to a relative's graduation you better believe you're going to be listening to that song.

Exactly. It's not the most employee friendly place on Earth (don't get me started on auditor bullshit and antiquated uniform rules) but genuine effort has gone into the food lately.
I worked there before 13 years ago and also after the turnaround and the difference is night and day. The drivers don't even do coke off the bathroom toilet tank anymore!
