Cult Icon Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 I ate a buttered 20 oz steak today, very good. Also last week I ate at the 'best fast food hamburger' joint Shake Shack: two grilled to crispy patties w/ fried pickles, bacon, spicy cheese, bbq sauce- very good and fresh (9/10). I wish more places had fried pickles. The only issue is that I barely tasted any beef and I don't think the patties had strong enough beef flavor. The texture of the patties were good though. The add-ons had so much flavor that they overwhelmed the beef. The burgers I make at home have 3 times stronger beef flavor. This burger cost $13 by itself with tax and has about 950 calories, which is a meal by itself. This makes this 'fast food' burger the same price as burgers in restaurants. I would rate the burger on par with steakhouse burgers except for the quality of the patties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cult Icon Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 what I learned (too late) from baking bread 25 times: DO NOT cut the bread right after you take it out. It causes the moisture to escape from the bread. Let the bread cool by itself and it'll come out great. Otherwise the bread gets really dry.

Cult Icon Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I ate a Stew Leonard BBQ rib sandwich on a grinder ($13) for the first time in 21 years. The last time I ate it was in a high school cafeteria. It was instantly somewhat disappointing. I was expecting them to put their leftover bbq rib meat in the sandwich and instead I got this processed pork sausage (coated in bbq sauce) shaped like a BBQ rib, just like high school lol. Overall, OK- won't buy it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cult Icon Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Japan Eat - YouTube Asian casual eats have the US completely beaten (our is overpriced and lacks quality). It also goes to show how hard food workers in asia have to work though- and with low pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cult Icon Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Now orange juice has 'shrinkflation'. Also most of the store ice-cream brands are now reclassified as 'frozen dairy dessert'- meaning that they are not legally considered 'Ice cream' due to lack of milk and more than 50% of it composed of air. one more sign that half the US is turning into a 3rd world country...

Otherwise the bread gets really dry. + after the bread is done, keep warm in oven for 15 minutes or so to allow the crust to harden. The texture inside the bread will improve even further.

Cult Icon Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 It is interesting to see how UA reviews fine dining. It is obvious that he is a fish out of the water; and to him Western fine dining is mostly overrated and inferior to asian cuisine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
