It is well known that when humans began to cook food, our brains got bigger. We're evolved to eat cooked meat. It tastes better and it's better for you. It stands to reason when you eat sushi containing uncooked meat, your brain gets smaller. (The tempura stuff is just ok at best, regardless.)

While I acknowledge that rice is a staple food critical to the development of many cultures, plain white rice is stinky doodoo akin to eating to eating little rubbery balls of semi dry glue, and most rice is in fact only tolerable based on the seasonings added to it.

Maybe they should make the rolls with fried rice, or even better, french fries? Potato is the far superior staple carb.

I love escolar or white tuna as many strip mall sushi places call it. It's rich buttery and cheap but like 1/10 people are genetically predisposed to getting the shits from it. Its like the olestra of sushi

One time I tried some escolar we were serving at a restaurant before I knew what it was

And I got the shits and googled the fish and welp

I spent a week with this Sushi chef and every day we'd go down to the harbor and he'd buy fish and then make sushi. It was great!

Did any of it taste better than, say, a hot and juicy Wendy's Baconator?

Hard to say. I'd eat like 50 pieces of sushi every day.

If I could eat a similar sized amount of Baconators, maybe I could judge.

You have to eat so much sushi because there's barely any meat, one double Baconator with two quarter pound all beef fresh never frozen (unlike sushi fish) patties (square because they don't cut corners!) always leaves me satisfied. Well, maybe with some French fries.

Sushi is just basically small clumps of rice and even tinier clumps of whatever else you want as filler.

So if its so good why isn't it being sold in McDonalds.

I'm sorry you can't appreciate my logical argument against eating sushi. Shouldn't be a surprise though from someone whose brain is likely already dangerously shrunken from eating too much raw fish.

I just remembered that when we used to break down tuna steaks for dinner service, someone would mince the scraps and pass a bowl of em around with soy sauce and sesame oil mixed in or something and that was great and novel during a kitchen shift.

But sushi is still not nearly as good as everyone pretends it is

Like we'd do the same with scraps from breaking down PSMO tenderloin packa into filets and just a little salt on a piece of raw beef was good, but give me a goddamn steak please, my brain needs cooked meat

Yeah I shouldn't have said Vegas was the one exception, it's just the one exception I've encountered. I'm sure cities like Phoenix, Denver, and Austin (not in a landlocked state, but might as well be) have good stuff. But yeah, it comes with a premium.

Plus, if the stuff Phoenix is getting is better than the stuff that LA is getting from the California coast, a place in LA always has the option to just go for that instead. Options are never a bad thing.

Speaking of Austin, I lived there during my 20s. I guess if I'd have ever gone to the world-famous Uchi and spent a mortgage payment on a sushi dinner that amounted to a Baconator and biggie fry's amount of food I might feel different.

But alas, I was never wealthy enough for such an opulent experience. Instead, my buddies and I went to some trashy Chinese buffet on Riverside inhabiting an old movie theater. Only one of us was brave enough to reach for the mystery sushi rolls, which turned out to be cooked ham rolls. :yum:

I heard somewhere, and someone can tell me if this is wrong, that originally the rice for nigiri sushi was to hold and display the fish atop it, and got discarded rather than eaten.

Certainly seems like an improvement, to say the least

The Baconator comes with mayo. Not sure if you can ask for Kewpie, but it's worth a shot.

Now that we determined that sushi is "pretty mid" as the kids say, I guess this thread can be about Wendy's

I like the double Baconator just the way it comes. It's perfect.

Sometimes I get the special promo burger that's like some combo of pretzel bun, ranch, ghost pepper, onion strings, jalapeno, ghost pepper cheese, what have you, but I always end up wishing I'd just got the drat Baconator.

Also we don't have Wendy's here but we recently had Carl's Jr pop up and it seems pretty mid, so I'm gonna assume Wendy's is that but square patties (I think they're the ones who do that).

I'm not trolling tho I checked and Wendy's has square patties so I'm guessing it's cause I said Carl's Jr was mid and I dunno if it's a thing lost in translation or something but it wasn't especially impressive when I had it. It was kinda like Hungry Jacks (which is its own mess of history) but a bit different.

Agree with your BK assesssment but my local Wendy's fries are perfect like 90% of the time and McDonald's fries are perfect like 25% of the time. Also, I can get an entire meal for $5 or $6 at Wendy's and McDonald's think their piece of poo poo basic-rear end 2 oz hamburgers are worth over $2 now.

After their approximate 200% price hike on pretty much everything on their menu and completely eliminating every single deal they have in their app except for the BOGO, which they castrated by removing the Filet O'Fish, McDonald's is unequivocally the shittiest fast food place in the northwest and it's not even close. The appeal for their poo poo food was the cost and now that they're more expensive than every other place out there you have to wonder why, when every other place out there has much better food. Like I can literally go to a local mom and pop hamburger joint and get real-rear end food, for the same loving price.

gently caress you, McDonalds.

In and out fries are garbage tier
they cover them shits in cheese and thousand Island to trick you into eating them but don't fall for that fail rear end trash food, get yourself some hot and crispy Wendy's fries. If they aren't hot and crispy, they'll give you a new order, no questions asked. The dumbass at the in and out counter will just drool and pump more salad dressing on top of them.

My favorite sandwich for this isn't available at wendys:

Toasted Cheese

Two slices of cheese melted between a toasted bun and loaded mayo, lettuce, and tomato. May be ordered with bacon.

You wouldn't expect it but the lettuce, tomato, mayo on a grilled cheese is insaaaaaaanely good and I never do grilled cheese without it anymore
