Would You Go to a Chain Restaurant on a First Date?

"If a girl suggested we go to cheesecake factory, friday's, chili's, etc., for a date i would drop her then and there. Forever. The end."
WOW.... this is possible one of the most asshole-ish things ive ever read. what exactly is wrong with someone who likes eating at those restuarants? i like eating a green bean fry from time to time, and i have to say im a pretty damn excellent date. although this post made me question myself for a second... and then had me questioning what the heck im doing on serious eats... cuz if its cool to make those sort of judgements, see ya.

Should Hot Dogs Carry Warning Labels?

i think they should have a label. "Caution: DELICIOUS."

World's Strangest Fast-Food Items

"loose meat" is just about the grossest phrase in the world.
gotta say, its weird whenever taco bell puts bacon in some new product. right now they have some kind of bacon burrito. it seems like there isnt really bacon in it, just some kind of bacony sauce or flavoring. the bacon crunchwrap supreme is bizarre but tasty... theres bacon glued in with the cheese that holds the crunchy shell and the gordita shell together. mmm... fat.

The Joys of Unnaturally Flavored Sodas

my friends and i were obsessed with fresca when we were about 13... useed to put pez in it to make it fizz vary the flavor, and drink it out of shot glasses to be "cool." now that im a semi-grown up i should try it with alcohol :)
squirt is also good... it has a weird flavor and seems more "juicey" than other sodas to me. every once in a while i get this weird craving for orange soda [and speaking of being 13, does that remind anyone else of keenan and kel?]... when youre super thirsty and orange crush tastes SO GOOD, like nothing else.

Bob & Timmy's Is the Fifth Best Pizzeria in the U.S.?

agreed with jlew911... one of my personal pizza requirements is that you should be able to pick up a slice and turn it sideways with minimal loss of toppings, maybe a stray olive or sausage here or there but the majority should be anchored with cheese. i like a lot of cheese though and that probably doesnt work on a flatbread pizza... but it looks like a lot of what theyre doing isnt working either.

I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...

and oh yeah, chocolate chips straight from the bag!
and i forgot my worst offense... shredded cheese. usually just a pinch when im making tacos or something, but i have been known to down half a bag as a "snack." its like crack, i love straight cheese more than regular food.

I eat ______ out of the tin/jar/bottle...

in high school once i ate a whole jar of that "goober" stuff.... you know, its peanut butter with stripes of jelly in it. that was GOOD. i started in lunch and just took it to class and ate the whole thing. well, it started out good, but after awhile you stop tasting it.
also in high school i ate a tin of cherry vanilla lip balm at a party... i dont remember what brand it was but it was DELICIOUS.
currently its just honey right from the bear onto the finger, reddi whip in the mouth, and if im making cupcakes, frosting from the jar [pink vanilla or cream cheese!!]. oh and i have been known to eat butter/margarine from the tub... fricking country crock is so delicious!!! any sort of really salty, sweet butter. the whipped stuff, in my opinion, is only made to be eaten straight.

I Haven't Really Shopped for Food in 3 Months

glad to know im not the only one who has a binge and purge attitude towards cooking/stocking the fridge. it really goes in cycles for me. lately ive been on a bad one, probably not to be improved soon as i just picked up a second job! unfortunately that usually means a lot of drive-thru pick ups as im running across town to get to the other job. can anyone relate?

McCafe: McDonald's New Fancier, Pricier Coffee

yeah, as said above, we've had mccafe in MN for a year and a half, two years now. its crazy that its just coming to NYC. personally, their iced coffees are my saving grace... like 1.75 for a medium and for just over 2 bucks you can get a large that will last you forever... its not too shabby and it keeps me awake at work or on a long drive, and i can grab on in the drive thru, sooooo easy.
i get the mochas sometimes, but its like paying 3 bucks for a chocolate milk with whipped cream, plus their medium mocha seems REALLY small, or like they put too much ice in it, because i always drink it in like three gulps. so its not really worth the money, but sometimes i just NEED one. with the cinnamon melts, its a pretty rad combo [can you tell i have mcdonalds often? its one of only three options near where i work, the others being subway and a gas station, so MCCAFE YAY].

In Season: Rhubarb

haha, my bf calls rhubarb "bum weed" since it grows in the alley behind his house... thus rhubarb pies are "bum pies," which i find hilarious.

Dijon Mustard/Grey Poupon Is Not Elitist

my dad's a republican [i can forgive him because he's my dad], a 100% mccain-votin-NRA-card-carrying republican, but even he can respect a man who likes some variety in his mustards! a real man likes mustard! all kinds of mustard! yellow mustard may be "all american" but any man who's eaten a brat knows yellow mustard is for pussies.

Domino's Launches Line of Bread Bowl Pastas

you remember that pizza that had little niblets of cheese baked in the crust, and you could tear them off and eat them? they should make the bread bowl like that, like a garlic cheese bread thing, that you could tear off and eat as you're eating your pasta. cuz if this is just a plain breadbowl, i dont really see the point. pasta and cheesy garlic bread, now thats a worthy invention. but anyways, i think they should just try to improve their pizza instead. like, how about using all that R&D $$ to roll out some new pizzas with better ingredients? i think that would go over much better right now.

Worst Sandwich You've Ever Had

i recall some incident with trying to make a sandwich with processed american cheese slices, mustard and i think... potato\ chips or something? i made this on one of the rare occasions i was babysat claiming "my mom lets me make this all the time" i know i ate too many cheese slices that night and then threw them up.
i kinda still make the same kind of food mistakes.
