Im hip.

That sandwich does look great, but can it really be called the ultimate grilled cheese if cheese isn't even the main ingredient?

This thread is nouveau almost-riche as gently caress. They say the middle class is dying but I'm convinced they're all just posting here. Looking down at dogshit supersugar fake-rear end artisan donuts, while maligning cuisine. What remains? The $35-a-plate joint downtown that serves microbrews? Pineapple.

Good food should be reasonably priced, locally sourced, prepared and served by someone who gives a poo poo, taste good, keep you going, and not be served in a shoe. These are all actually possible. Even with all that said it's still okay to eat fast food once in a while, or even go someplace where jackasses eat. There's no need to hold yourself to any arbitrary standard of purity or "authenticity" when it comes to the food you buy or consume. Buy the food. Eat the food. Feel okay about it.

The crazy long lines seem to have petered off (except for weekend mornings, when there's lines of 5-15 people at a time). The doughnuts are interesting and a decent occasional treat. But most of the time I wind up scraping off all of the excess stuff on the top and eating that separately. The Oreo one is good, though.  This is a Pulled Pork Sundae, available at TGI Friday's nationwide.  It contains pork, barbecue sauce, mashed potato, onions, and other "fixins."

Marenghi posted:The Food Network was expert at finding horrible hosts. Rachael Ray?  I remember seeing an episode of her "$40 a day" show years ago, in which she seeks out food worthy of this thread while traveling, on a $40/day budget -- I don't think I've ever spent $40 in restaurants in a day when traveling, and I'm on the road more than I'm at home. Hell, I find it difficult to spend the $25/day that my company reimburses me for, especially now that they require itemized receipts*.The tip that stuck with me was "Instead of buying lunch, save money and just have a cocktail instead!" Which is perfectly reasonable advice if you're a lush or even just having a fun tipsy holiday. Except the "cocktail" came in a fishbowl the size of her drat head. *back when they'd accept just the credit card slip from a place that sold food, when I was in Louisiana I'd get my whisky on the company dime -- LA is one of the few states that allow grocery stores sell hard liquor.

Delivery McGee posted:The tip that stuck with me was "Instead of buying lunch, save money and just have a cocktail instead!" Which is perfectly reasonable advice if you're a lush or even just having a fun tipsy holiday. I'm not a big traveler so maybe I'm entirely wrong here but I never thought it was reasonable to plan and budget everywhere you were going to eat, snacks and cocktails included, on a per-day basis during a vacation. Because to do that you'd basically have to go to the place you were vacationing ahead of time and get all the restaurants and prices and then put together your whole meal plan ahead of time. Or, you know, have your TV Network Crew do it for you. I'd think it'd be better to just have a per-meal budget, and pick a place that catches your eye while you're out being a tourist. Magikarpal Tunnel posted:The worst part of Voodoo Donuts (besides the fact that tourists love it, so it must be awful) is that the actual pastry part of the donut tastes fine, but they glop on so much super sugary icing and candy and cereal that the whole thing is kind of ruined. The pastry is also generic and plain as hell and the donuts are only notable for the weird poo poo on top. Agree completely with the Voodoo assessment; I've had a couple since people bring them into the office sometimes, and it's a mediocre donut completely drenched in the most overly sweet toppings imaginable. I don't get it, but then I also don't get why people vape cotton candy so much here. I thought I liked sweet things before I moved here but apparently I'm bush league when it comes to sugar. Blue Star has a good variety of flavors and they are very well balanced; not overly sweet. I find them delicious. They're also, where I've gone, $3-4 per donut. Not sure I'd call that "worth it" but as rarely as I eat donuts, I'd rather pay extra for Blue Star than settle for Voodoo.

TGI Friday's didn't invent this, they have a BBQ sundae at an independent and terrible BBQ place in my city, so I assume they're lots of places. This one is just cole slaw, pork, and beans.

Scathach posted:Artisan sriracha is pretty stupid. $14 for 6.4oz and it's just chilies crushed with garlic in vinegar. I can almost guarantee that original rooster sauce is tastier than this stuff. It's like claiming "artisan soy sauce" or "artisan ketchup." I have to jump in here. My son used to work at a sushi restaurant and the owner, who was indeed Japanese, made her own soy sauce from scratch and it was loving amazing. If that is what artisan soy sauce is, then hats off to her. It was delicious and savory and full of flavor as opposed to the brand name stuff which to me is just really salty water. God, I miss that sauce!!

PubicMice posted:e:content The Anti-Food Porn thread is here. Also I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, but I really, really dislike Asian fusion, especially since for the most part, the "Asian" part basically translates to some sickly sweet sauce. My favorite abomination was a "boba cocktail," which works in theory (I would have thrown boba into a white russian or a mudslide or something), but for some reason they went with what my friend described as a boozy Orange Julius with boba, so that not only did the brown sugar taste of the tapioca didn't mesh with the citrus flavor of the cocktail at all, but they iced it up so much that the tapioca hardened. I'm glad that place closed down.

Did you make it at home? No, you made it in the same commercial kitchen you make all your food, so it's not home made, is it? Don't tell me you cooked my burger here, but the relish you brought from home, because we both know that isn't true.
