  1. Cheesesteaks are a vastly overated sandwich that has been overhyped nationally by food shows. And they certainly choose smaller steak shops than the big two touristy joints. The locals recognize the great sandwich of Philly is the roast pork with broccoli rabe, sharp provolone, and long peppers. It’s awesomeness that I wouldn’t trust outside Philly/ north Jersey.
  2. He’s gone to ground likely because he thinks zosia , if not Bella, will tell Kevin and Harry that he tried to murder Bella, and his goose is cooked. Bella protected her son even though she swore her allegiance to Kevin. At the time she had zero choice as Maeve and Conrad were still locked up. I believe Bella has likely continued some relationship with Conrad and she’ll be very fluid which way she goes.
  3. You made a killer sandwich but with those tomatoes I’d also try one of my dad’s favorites from the depression. take that bread and griddle it in bacon grease. Lots of mayo, those great tomatoes, heavy salt and pepper. It’s really fucking great. They are it when there was no bacon in the larder.
  4. There is a black hole of doom that contains the Texas shithole companies like Dickeys barbecue and blue bell. Whataburger is circling into the suck ring and is about to join them. I don’t tell out of towners to eat there anymore. Don’t want their disappointment backing up on me.
  5. Had a buddy years ago that was a dentist. He lectured parents of pediatric patients about effects of candy and cokes. He’d pump raisins as the perfect sweet food. Put one of those little boxes of sunmaid raisins in their goody bag with their ninja turtle toothbrush and toothpaste. He said these raisins are like sugar bombs that just stick to teeth. Perfect little cavity makers. Gotta make future biz somehow.
  6. No I simply dont know where he is? I don’t recall seeing him after he was hammered by Kiko or Zosia. Soon after, it showed the women outside the house just as it blowed up. So my question was: was Eddie blowed up or did he escape another way. now that we know he’s back for S2, it looks like it will be an internal war between Conrad/Maeve/Eddie vs Kevin/Harry with Seraphina/Kat lining up outside of them.
  7. I thought Wiley was the weakest in the cast. Didn’t look like a baseball player but Lin later loved the kid.
  8. I watch Australian cooking shows and they eat a lot of kangaroo.
  9. That’s my issue with the cold climes. It’s basically a race for fat, and then outlasting the other starving players. I’d rather it be a set time and survivors split the pot. Say 75-90 days. Australia is very limited on what can be hunted or not. Most things are protected for natives.
  10. Maeve is not blood related to Eddie. Where the fuck is he? He was not with the women who left. Did he runoft or get blowed up? Seems the news that Conrad was his father with Bella, Maeve’s weirdass proposal, his relationship with Kevin might send him to ground for a bit. Bella didn’t tell Kevin that Eddie tried to kill her. Is she protecting her son over husband? Has Conrad continued to bang Bella thru the years? She opened up about her father raping her as a child, but not about her son nearly killing her. seraphina is moving while Harry is hanging tight with Kevin. Does he know Maeve is hammering the Harry is the mole story?
  11. Frank Ragnow, arguably best center in nfl, suddenly retires today due to issues with ongoing injuries. Really hurts the Lions to lose him after OTAs. 5541 snaps in his career, gave up 6 sacks.
  12. We’re thru 8 eps of dept q so far and it’s slow to build but it’s really good for a cop show with no guns.
  13. Excellent wrap for S1. Pretty straightforward without any our more outlandish theories. Did we see Eddie after the “event”? Bella didn’t tell Kevin the whole story. Gonna get ugly.
  14. I worked at McDonalds as a teenager in Memphis and cooked a bag of Big Macs for Elvis who was at the drive thru on his Harley. I still eat McDonald’s on occasion. For breakfast I like either the sausage McGriddle or the sausage McMuffin, neither with egg. The usual burger order is either a royale with cheese or if I remember, the triple cheeseburger. I’ll eat a McRib if they’re back.
  15. Bought a bag of these Cheetos. The dill pickle is very forward and bright, then the hot flies in. Wife did not like. I didn’t at first but they are oddly addictive. Not go buy another bag addictive though.
  16. Supposedly Burghoff was disliked by the entire cast. He should be dead instead of some of the others.
  17. This episode was meh but the droid factory scene was good.
  18. Well the show wrapped and it was ok. But I’m not jonesing for S2. The show has better actors than writers. I hate the 2nd person narration. Especially Olivia Munn’s. Lots of holes in The police work. the evolution of the son was good. Amazing how one can go from total depressed angry teen to attentive respectful kid simply by getting laid. Pussy again the antidote.
  19. This show is one of the top sitcoms ever made. Gary was brilliant in this. It was a very good guest host on the Tonight Show, and he was always hyped as a successor for Johnny Carson. the trio with Larry, Artie, and Hank was perfection. Artie is a perfect character and rip hammers it.
  20. This is true genius, elevating two lowly items and making a new construct of awesomeness. All I’d add would be a round of fresh jalapeño. im ignoring that white substance to the side. I hope its not miracle whip.
  21. When I make any braised meat, usually a chuck roast, I will remove the meat and veg to get to the sauce. Once it sits a few minutes I remove the large pools of grease with a turkey batter, sucking up the pools and putting in a bowl. If you’re needing to serve now and it’s thin I strain it in a China hat and then put in pan to reduce a bit on higher heat and balance seasonings. I have no issue using a little corn starch slurry to thicken. Best is as WW suggests and cool in the fridge and pull off the fat.
  22. All correct. Right with you. We are seeing the same thing in Texas barbecue that has happened with TexMex and country cooking. The hyper elevation of traditional foodways and then the denigration of the originals. Same thing happens everywhere. Look at red gravy Italian in New Jersey. Chinese American food. The tings that built this country as poor immigrants were presented with the abundance of America. The stupid normalization of the term “authentic” by dumb young foodies. Snows is an institution and Tootsie a state treasure. She learned from butcher shop days of the make something from nothing of scraps and waste. It’s a pilgrimage to the old school places like Snows to keep one rooted in Texas traditions. I know Joe T Garcias isnt the best TexMex but I still go out of respect occassionally. Same deal.
  23. I thought I was the only kid who lived Delaware punch but that was in Memphis back before the earth began to cool.
  24. I think in many cases in this list we are seeing Daniel Vaughan’s and team’s boredom with top notch basics of Texas barbecue. He’s been chomping on craft made prime brisket and great sausage for over a decade. And it’s now ubiquitous everywhere vs the past where dry brisket dogmatically served without sauce was the only game in town. So he seems to focus on new school focuses on new ethnic influences, different preps, burgers, fancy sauces and especially sides. the top places have long lines to eat their standards and they just don’t invest much time in developing new things. looks like he also has decided to punish the mini chains like Hurtado, Terry Blacks, and especially Heim which appears to be erased (and should be). I am surprised smoke n ash with a Michelin rec and ny times top 50 restaurant of any kind ranking hammered to the 50-100 list. It seems to check a lot of boxes DV likes. And Slow Bone isn’t that great; I don’t like their high temp technique. Where is 407? we are a long way from a shack on the highway selling chopped beef sandwiches, a bag of chips from the rack, and a Grape-ette from the cooler box.
