May 30, 20205 yr This is food related but not about food. I have come around on Guy Fieri. I am a fan. Dude is just who he is and I am sure he is aware everyone thinks he looks absurd. He just owns it. I’ve always liked him. DDD is my favorite mindless show after a hard day’s work. You’re correct he is who he is and owns it. I find that respectable in most folks. His Ranch Kitchen show is generally good too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
May 30, 20205 yr Plus he's done some good work raising money for unemployed restaurant workers, believe he's raised over 20+ million.

I can handle them in paper thin slices on something, but the texture just sits wrong with me. Same. Unless it’s in salsa or pico, I’ll probably throw out the raw tomato slices.
May 30, 20205 yr Plus he's done some good work raising money for unemployed restaurant workers, believe he's raised over 20+ million. Yep. I kind of see him as the matthew mcconaughey of food tv. He is who is and owns it. Does food things for people and seems genuine. 95% of the food he feature looks awesome.

May 30, 20205 yr To the raw tomato haters--have you ever eaten a home-grown tomato? They boast quite possibly the greatest difference in terms of quality of flavor versus what you will find at the store. Fresh, home-grown cherry tomatoes are better than candy, and a thick slice of perfectly ripened beefsteak tomato makes the B in BLT superfluous. I am not exaggerating. EDIT: I see my question was redundant. Oops. Still, if you had the right tomato ... Edited May 30, 20205 yr by Braff Zacklin

It's better BBQ than 98% of the BBQ in the US. There's a location in Phoenix, and I gladly eat there whenever convenient. That was me that said that. There's probably 5 or 6 places where I live that have better brisket, or sausage, or turkey, or whatever better than Rudy's. But overall, Rudy's is consistent, and consistently good to great. My aunt grew up in Houston, but has lived in Seattle for the last 30 years. When she comes to town you can feed her Rudy's and she's in heaven.

June 14, 20205 yr Author Applebee's has a few good things on their menu. I'll eat a kickass grilled cheeseburger with everything before steak. Bacon in/on everything was a stupid trend and I am glad it finally jumped the shark.

Pretty solid baby back ribs as well. Nothing wrong with Rudy's at all. I am not a BBQ snob, though. I got a chopped sandwich, potato salad last year in Frisco and it was damn good.
June 15, 20205 yr Texas isn't a great area for tomatoes. It's too hot here. Gotta get up to the midwest for really great quality tomatoes.

Yeah....I’ve rally come to judge folks mostly on whether they’re good and decent people. He’s cheesy and looks ridiculous...but by all accounts he’s a good guy. He genuinely tries to boost the profile of small businesses, he’s raised real money for restaurant workers - good dude in my book.
June 15, 20205 yr I'm generally with you, with the exception of bluefin being the clear king for sashimi and sushi.

Bacon in/on everything was a stupid trend and I am glad it finally jumped the shark. Good observation. I didn't really think about it until you posted it that yeah, the bacon with everything seems to be gone. Of course, I've been to a grand total of maybe 4 restaurants in the last 4 months. But it also did appear to take the "some version of Pork Belly" trend with it as well. That was getting very redundant.

I'm not sure I'd make a claim that salmon is better than tuna across the board but I can see it. And Rudy's spicy chop fucks. Their St. Louis ribs aren't bad either.

A coworker in my office lunch group always picked Panera bread when it was her turn to pick the restaurant. My wife also loves Panera. She subscribes to the monthly coffee service. It's not a bad deal for $9 a month.

June 15, 20205 yr Raw salmon is better than raw tuna. Cooked, the other way around, if the tuna is cooked correctly. Salmon is one of my least favorite cooked fish. Salmon is the only fish I don’t like. Cooked or uncooked.
June 15, 20205 yr I fucking hate Panera Bread.Somebody on another thread called it upscale hospital food. That’s exactly what it is.
