someone earlier intimated that whataburger had a secret menu or maybe it was a joke that I took at face value but I feel like as much as people love or revile In-n-Out their “secret menu” thing is a comprehensive failure of design / just the whole idea why do they not your options on the board? why don’t they toast the buns regularly, or always grill the onions, when it makes your iteration of a burger better? anyways my other 2 cents: back when i could go to shows and bars whataburger was good after that- specifically, the bacon and egg taquito done rancho verde style, or the Monterey melt*. but the Monterey melt has been off the regular menu for a while and i pin the world backsliding to that event. *their patty melt is an ok substitute everything else on the regular menu is only so-so the trouble with their popcorn chicken bites is that so few people order them you’ll be told to pull up to the side door or lane B while they fry them ...also, Braum’s and DQ sell burgers? what?

(Or they're me and they want both grilled and raw onions.) It's not like some kind of insider trick, it's more "if you don't like their burgers because their buns are too soft, ask for them to be toasted twice", because somebody might not know that doing that is an option. (Dairy Queen burgers aren't bad. Never been to a Braum's.)

https://twitter.com/RyanWoodDFW/status/1372001774656176131 Second consecutive session blown in half by a secret recording. The senate rammed through a bill in one day calling for the repricing of ERCOT overcharges, basically about 4-5bn flowing from generators back to the munis and coops. Abbott and the House told them to pound sand, and now this comes out....Abbott is fuuuuucked. The House was slowwalking this, ERCOT contracts have to be settled within 30 days and that term lapses at the end of the week. Dan wins again.

Secret menus make sense as a result of fast food places extensively pruning down their menus to make things faster with customers. Popular things that you have the ingredients for but they're not good enough or distinct enough to be worth developing branding and taking up menu space goes on the secret menu. There's a McDonald's hack that's just like a slightly cheaper Big Mac if you construct it with custom orders. If it turns into a thing that gets hyped on its own or if people wanna make a big show of being some weird elite burger secrets, gently caress that. That's dumb.

Ordering a Mcgangbang was the height of comedy freshman year of college, though I think a strict manager was all that kept the workers from murdering anyone who ordered it.

Texas Monthly posted:D’Andrea indicated that he expects to remain the sole regulator over the electric markets for the foreseeable future. He said he doesn’t think Abbott is interested in appointing new commissioners during the legislative session, when appointees would have to be confirmed by lawmakers. “I went from being on a very hot seat to having one of the safest jobs in Texas,” D’Andrea said. “I think it’s just going to be me for a while.”

The backstory of Raising Cane's is awesome, basically the guy was a student at LSU and wrote up a business plan for a chicken finger restaurant and his professor told him that would never work. Him and his partner got a C- on the project. He opened his first restaurant outside the gates of LSU's campus and the rest is history.

Of course these people only get pissed off about things when it directly affects them, gently caress everyone else, but still, they're going to have to do something about it.

Cane’s vs Layne’s was a big deal in college station. Consistent chain restaurant tenders vs chicken fingers cooked up by a bunch of extremely high college kids.

I always preferred Chicken Express to Raising Cane's or Lane's, mostly because the tenders come with gravy. I just pop some of that hot serendepity seasoning in the gravy and dip the tenders in it.

Working at Cane's is a weird purgatory of awful. If you're up front you have to greet every customer with some stupid chicken-themed salutation and deal with hordes of college kids, and in the back there's literally four stations. Plus they close at like 2am and are constantly busy. So you just literally do the same thing standing in the same place for six-eight hours and then have to close the store and by the time you get home it may as well have been a night shift because the sun may well be rising depending on how much of a stickler your manager is. They're also the kind of place that absolutely won't give you food, even if it's leftovers to be thrown out at close. All for a cool eight bucks. Also aside from the sauce the only reason to go there is if you eat it immediately. Everything gets soggy like a minute after it goes into one of those lovely styrofoam containers, which leaves the chicken still ok but does in the already sad fries.
