I don't think most restaurants being poo poo is a problem exclusive and unique to the United States

Toxic Mental posted:Come at me No because that's insanely stupid. American Chinese food is American Chinese food and when I think "BBQ" I think America. It's basically our national dish. You are an insane person. Do you turn up your nose at "Mexican" food here because they used ground beef in a taco or didn't make the masa in a mortar and pestle? I'm being aggressive on purpose. I'm not really mad at you.

"bbq in the states is bad" is just probably just a bad troll attempt really.

Nah most Mexican food in the US is great, if you're not counting Taco Bell for obvious reasons I'm not sure why Chinese places here gently caress it up over and over. Like, I've been to China multiple times and it's fine. Cashew Chicken or whatever just being this watery saucey mess on top of dry, bland rice seems to be the norm. I've been to a zillion BBQ places all over from Texas to Georgia and almost all of them are overly dry and bland served with a few pieces of wonderbread for $25 before tip and tax. Some of the best BBQ I've ever had was from an alleyway food truck in New Jersey. The best Chinese place in my city is the one near the university campus that operates out of a really dingy building and most of the signage is in Chinese and it's where all the exchange students go.

Toxic Mental posted:Nah most Mexican food in the US is great, if you're not counting Taco Bell for obvious reasons I strongly disagree with "most". I have eaten at a lot of taquerias in California, a state which likely has better mexican food than most. There are many that just are not very good. I'd say most of them do maybe 1 or 2 types of meat that can be called good and the rest of their meats are prepared poorly. DeadFatDuckFat fucked around with this message at 22:42 on Apr 7, 2023 |

Toxic Mental posted:I went to Tito's in downtown LA and thought it sucked mega rear end but I just hate Los Angeles I don't think the crunchy tacos at Tito's are bad. But again, thats the ONLY thing I would order there. The burritos etc are all very bad. And thats the point. Most US Mexican places are only gonna do a couple things well and a place like that I wouldn't call "Great"

My town is probably just privileged but we have at least 5 absolutely amazing food trucks and probably 3 really, really good sit down places that I can and do rotate around happily That said I live in a medium sized PNW city so I can only assume the selection in other areas is even better

Just had two 10mg gummies. Nothing on TV but game shows atm. Still got about an hour for the gummies to kick in. I'll probably play Mount and Blade Bannerlord soon. I want to play a base building or tycoon type game. I got to the 3rd or 4th hospital in Two Point Hospital but am running into an issue so I'll after either reorganize the whole place or start the level over and I'm too lazy to do that.

My Italian and very Catholic grandmother always watched that poo poo at Easter. Probably cause a local station always showed it then.

I had a Qdoba burrito bowl earlier and I was not pleased. I haven't been there in a long time but for some reason this time they had zero labels on the 30 loving items they sell. What's that red one? Mild What's that slightly lighter red one? Medium No the other slightly lighter red one? Oh that's hot. Wait.... all the ones on this side are hot. All the ones on this side are mild. Ok so what's the green one on the hot side in the middle? etc, etc, etc.... It was frustrating so I just gave up and pointed and accepted what I got. It wasn't very good and I'll be going to Chipotle next because they just opened one here!

MrQwerty posted:what did u have There's a place in my city that does the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. One little Mexican lady runs the truck. Huge loving amazing soft and chewy tortilla, really nicely cooked (not overdone) scrambled eggs, awesome homemade breakfast sausage, and a fuckton of cheese and it's $6. You can also get a japaeno salsa in it at no extra charge. The thing is massive, like over 1lb. I tip two bucks usually each time I go because it's amazing and she deserves it. A good breakfast burrito is heavenly.
