A fair amount of American places have fries like that, just not Taco Bell. As an American, I'm not sure I would trust fries from a place that only does Mexican food (unless it's carne asada fries from a little taqueria or something).

When I was in college in LA we used to make fun of Del Taco (∇ Taco) for being so gringo they had loving french fries

It was otherwise unheard-of.

But I'm pleased to have learned today that Canadian Taco Bell deserves that Whitest Thing Imaginable award I was ready to give it in my mind.

That's a stunt on par with claiming to have invented KFC in Calgary.

But if you're eating at the Carnegie Deli it's not because you're there for the day-to-day practicality, it's because you've got tickets to Radio City in two hours and you've already budgeted for a night to regret, so $25 for a pile of dry pastrami while crammed into a phone-booth-sized table while people mill around you with no room to even stand sounds like a good way to pass the time

I've always wondered about this actually, thanks.

I like how Dimethylmercury is so bloody dangerous that it's also more-or-less entirely useless.

Though (as the dangerous chemistry thread noted when this came up last), the US military/NASA experimented with using it as a rocket propellant, because of course they did.

Currently a service manager at chipotle. All peppers, lettuce, and tomatoes now come pre shredded and washed. Steak also now is pre cooked (well heated in hot water before being shipped to us).. Really the only in house prep we still do is dicing onions and jalapeņos and making guac. Everything else is coming pre shredded and ready to serve at a central kitchen. Edit: no changes to chicken. Chicken and steak is still cooked on the grill. Chicken is still in house marinated. Steak is in house marinated as well just comes pre heated already and when we throw it on the grill it's only for 30 seconds each side..

Aw man... :( Sous vide against e.coli.

I guess you can only go for so long before learning the hard way why most restaurants do food shittily: because if you don't, you make people sick.

I have a queasy stomach when it comes to gross food in person. One of my old bosses brought Balut to a potluck at work, and once I saw what it was I had to make a mad dash to the bathroom.


I was not alone. My old boss was kind of a dick.

Yes but I usually figure bad "luck" at a potluck would mean getting someone's crappy bean casserole, or wanda's macaroni salad

So unless you're making the stupid and pedantic argument that this solid, edible substance is actually not food because the FDA says so, it's also dumb to argue that it's not cheese.

Standard poop things. If it's that kind of fish with the really delicate bones, just chewing them reduces them to a fine, calcium-rich paste.

I thought the deal was usually that if it's farmed, they keep it in a pond swimming around for like a day with no food so it's empty when they kill it.

If you catch it yourself though, lol

Awesome.

Anytime anyone mentions tamarind I think "Gee, I wonder if bad-candy.com has come back to life" and check, inevitably disappointed.

The lady at my Taco Bell drive thru is named Kim and I wouldn't describe her as 'peppy' but we do remember each other and she remembers my normal order so maybe TB employees are more human than BK or McD's. Maybe TB sucks slightly less life out of 'em or something. Maybe it's just that they're not overwhelmed like the McDs drive thru people proably are.

My local McDs drivethru is manned by either an earnest Hispanic lady or this middle-late-aged guy with a mustache who frequently tells me to "have a beautiful night".

I think anything on the franchise model is going to be as variable in its service as anything with a standardized menu can possibly be.
