So do any RPGs have robust cooking systems? What game system would I use to run Iron Chef?

Ars Magica. The wizards are the chefs, and their underlings scour the world for ingredients. Maybe Rolemaster, but you'd have a 10% chance of water catching fire every turn.

Hearing over the years that he'd bounced from tabletop gaming to Microsoft and various other companies, I was afraid he was kind of lost and adrift professionally. I'm really pleased to hear he made "I could retire today, but..." money, he certainly deserves it. Ettin posted:Are you talking poo poo about my boy DJ Devastator?

Next time you're at a proper buffet, try nacho cheese on spaghetti with some fried chicken wings on the side. Absolutely delicious greasy abomination, if someone's come up with better I want to know about it.

American barbecue is what you get when you combine the South American outdoor slow cooking idea with the French putting sauce on things idea.

Where do I find a buffet with wings? I guess a buffet with good chicken wings would be functionally equivalent to all-you-can-eat chicken wings for me. Why would I want to fill up on spaghetti or whatever when I could instead pack in more wings?

The buffet is clearly a plan to upsell the steak, it's all salad and potatoes. But it doesn't work because everyone just made a meal of the wings.

Looks like those don't exist in Canada. Nearest one to me is Niagara Falls across the border. Golden Corral is even farther - I'd have to go to Rochester to find one. I don't know that I've ever seen the equivalent around here. The closest I can think of is places with really extensive salad bars. Jimbozig fucked around with this message at 21:03 on Jul 14, 2017 |

It literally just occurred to me that ponderosa is Latin for "heavy, ponderous" and that the ad wizards probably should have thought of a different name for an American steak restaurant, no matter how much they like pine trees.

It's actually named after the Cartwright family ranch from the TV series Bonanza. Somehow I can remember that 25 years later but not the combination for my bike lock.

You don't just pour ranch on top of pizza like some kind of horrifying waterfall. You dip it.

We had a very similar chain where I grew up called Quincy's, and my dad always joked that they named it after a TV medical examiner so you'd know where you'd end up after the heart attack.
