September 8, 20214 yr Jif Creamy Peanut Butter is the best Peanut Butter ever. I know there are tons of craft and artistan and organic and all-natural's, but the OG Jif cannot be beat.

September 8, 20214 yr This is close to the ideal of a base for naoch. The Vermillion in Brownsville. Lots of melted cheese, parts of it toasty. Jalapeños. Sturdy homemade chips. Adding pico de gallo or fajita meat to this would be a good idea, it can handle it. Lettuce on naoch is bad. Adds no flavor at all and just helps to turn the plate into a watery, soggy mess.

I would smash that.I always liked how Freddie's place did it. All the ingredients plated, chips separate. Make it how you want.Even better, would be the above with a plated side of toppings.Guess I'm making Noach this weekend.

God you're 50/50. Just when I think you have a string of good posts you advocate for Jif creamy. Extra crunchy or fuck your mother. Here is the thing. I like you as a poster. You seem like an even better human being. So I took your advice and picked up some Jif Extra Crunchy during my weekly refill of JIF. I'm just not here for it. The crunch is weird. It's too much peanut, not enough butter. (Reminds me of this video "Larry loves butter and Larry loves scotch, but you'd never seen Larry loves Butterscotch"
September 16, 20214 yr The Joe T's "nacho" is just a precursor to a LOT more goodness. It isn't the best Mexican food ever but it's pretty solid and plentiful and when you couple the simplicity with the setting and the margaritas...it's greatness. Family Style Dinner Two cheese nachos as appetizers, two cheese enchiladas, rice, beans, two beef tacos, guacamole, and corn tortillas

September 18, 20214 yr cheesecake is not cake. its disgusting and you should be ashamed of yourself for eating it.

Fair, but also unfair. Those cities have a more DIVERSE food scene -- they are all super-international (you literally just named the three most internationally diverse cities in the country). So, yeah, you can get kick-ass Senegalese food in those places that you can't get in NOLA. But NOLA's food scene really doesn't need diversity. Nobody bitched about Earl Campbell because he couldn't streak down the sideline and beat DBs for a 50 yard pass. Nobody bitched about Earl not having Barry Sanders moves. We loved Earl because what he did....he did better than anyone else. He fucking trucked your ass, and bulldozed into the end zone whenever he felt like it. NOLA is the Earl Campbell of creole/cajun/gulf coast cuisine. It doesn't have New York's Barry Sanders moves. It doesn't have Houston's Jerry Rice WR speed and hands. It doesn't have to. It has this:

It is ultimately very derivative, as many US cuisines are. I enjoy it on occasion, but if I am picking a food city to go on vacation in, I am crossing the pond, going to Mexico City, or just cruising the 5 boroughs in a staycation before heading to NOLA.

September 20, 20214 yr The brief is unpopular food opinions. Now explain your Chicago opinion? I think it’s vastly underrated. Most top food critics would agree.Now, we all know you like high-end things so maybe Chicago’s offerings aren’t upscale enough, Lulz.

Maybe your first point is valid but I’ll have to strongly disagree on the “quality from top to bottom” point. But I’m not as a sophisticated foodie as you.
