September 11, 20231 yr I use Chik-fil-A sauces as salad dressing now. It's simply better than watery dressing in a bottle.
September 11, 20231 yr Jack the Italian Chef died 1 year ago. His channel always made his food look amazing. The whole heavily worn and smoking hot kitchen with the multiple burners on very high, and the bent-out of shape pans. It's too bad that he died young, it's obvious that the most likely culprit was his obesity:
September 12, 20231 yr bodybuilder cooking all of his meat for 2 weeks. I do the same thing with my meals. (a few hours to organize a 2 week prep for normal person meals)
September 12, 20231 yr One of my favorite, with garlic too. In Mallorca some people eat It too. https://www.directoalpaladar.com/recetas-de-huevos-y-tortillas/receta-cena-saludable-que-mi-padre-aprendio-desayunando-colombia-solo-tiene-tres-ingredientes/amp
September 20, 20231 yr 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 When I was younger I ate 6 or 7 with potatoes innthe dinner. Now, 4 vegetable as supper is ok.
October 3, 20231 yr 18 years ago this meal would cost $5 (a terrific deal at the time). Now it's $11-9
October 10, 20231 yr A Paris Baguette chain just opened within walking distance of my house. The stuff inside looks beautiful but is about 2-1.5 times more expensive than it should be. An average sized pastry is $5-4, average sized baguette sandwiches are $11-9, a small slice of cake is $7. I guess that's why they are so successful- by making their products so pretty and overpriced.
October 16, 20231 yr I ate at Paris Baggette franchise for the first time. There were ~40 new stores opened this year (total franchise has 180+ in the US). Overall, I like the place but don't like the prices. The Business model appears to be quite successful in the US- they have overpriced but superior quality goods, make good margin. Customers come because of the good environment and the unusually large variety of good items. It would be interesting to find out how many things they make in-house and how many things are shipped to them frozen. What makes the bakery items unusual is that they are obviously designed for maximum aesthetic appearance in order to justify the $4 donut. Interestingly enough the Cake section appears to be the worst part of the franchise. The cakes appeared to be designed mainly for their beauty than for the taste. The cakes are also very expensive for the small size, a relatively small cake is $40, $50. The pastries are all high quality in appearance and have huge variety. ----- The only reasonably priced item I bought was the raison bread ($5 for 1 lb loaf). It is high quality bread with a very fine and glossy-mildly oily texture. The Blueberry Yogurt Cake Slice was $7 for small slice. It was good but disappeared in a few bites. I would describe it as having a good variety of flavors but too light in taste. What is noticeable is the tasteless white cream on top, this appears to be the main thing on most of the cakes. Overall this cake style is Asian and not suited to American tastes. The cheese & Bratwurst croissant ($4) was very good and had a lot of subtle flavors. The Curry Croquette was good ($4) but could use stronger flavors.
