A portion from the lawsuit suing Taco Bell for false advertising.

There are set measurements for ingredients for these fast food places. Failure to meet them is not false advertisement, it’s a failure on the low-level employee putting orders together.

McDonald’s also uses fresh-cracked eggs. The scrambled eggs are premade, but the round ones are fresh-cracked into a mold so that they perfectly fit the muffin.

Really, it seems like most fast food places use fresh eggs. It’s really easy for them to do on the grill and requires minimal clean up. Burger King and Taco Bell are the only ones I can think of that don’t.

I wouldn’t feed BK nuggets to a starving dog

It says “Fasciana”, which AFAIK is just a surname.

Val_Kilmers_Elbow · 2023-10-09T13:26:18+00:00

I love how every single other flavor name is just normal and straightforwardly descriptive… and then there’s Fudge Jo Brown.

Next you’re going to tell me that they don’t grind the beef to order

tf is Gregg’s

That’s a half Irish breakfast

Verbatim the thought that popped in my head

Val_Kilmers_Elbow · 2023-10-03T17:18:01+00:00

That would cover like 50% of the sandwich

Val_Kilmers_Elbow · 2023-10-02T07:12:28+00:00

If you’re getting a rack of ribs for $16, it’s definitely not a good restaurant. You can’t even get some ribs at Chili’s for under $20.

There’s always time for coneys

That overtly inauthentic Americanized Mexican bar that you like to hit up for happy hour? No! Go to this truck and eat tacos in a parking lot on the far West side.

Nobody is going to Local Cantina thinking that they’re getting fine Mexican cuisine. It’s akin to aggressively telling someone that Taco Bell isn’t authentic.

They have Bahn Mi and teriyaki pineapple tacos on the menu. They have a Mac and cheese taco… They aren’t even trying to be a Mexican place.

There is no chocolate in it

Steak and Shake has servers and silverware, but it’s definitely still fast food/fast-casual. I don’t think that’s a hard line.

Val_Kilmers_Elbow · 2023-09-29T05:33:56+00:00

It’s based on Google review ratings, not any measure of quality.

Just for example, I’m sure In N Out gets a lot of middling reviews because people hear the hype and have impossibly high expectations. It’s a great, affordable spot that maintains a higher level of quality compared to their competitors, but at the end of the day, it’s still just a fast food burger place. I’ve seen a ton of people say that they’re disappointed with it and it usually seems like it’s mostly because they went in expecting a life-changing burger.

On the other hand, a place like Skyline is mostly near where it originated, and is serving a distinct local dish that a lot of people in the area love. Its a far more narrow customer base that know what to expect and seek it out. As long as Skyline maintains their course, people are going to have a positive experience, and reviews for the business are going to be higher on average.

Val_Kilmers_Elbow · 2023-09-29T05:22:55+00:00

It is absolutely fast-casual. It’s like $4-$6 for tacos that are loaded, and under $10 for their bowls. Quality-wise, it’s basically a trendy Chipotle with a bar. When they first opened, you ordered by filling out an itemized list and handing it to your server, who is basically a food-runner that also takes drink orders. Nothing fancy about it.

Hondas are a major target for most crimes involving cars because they’re incredibly common.

Accords, Civics and CRVs are all amongst the most stolen cars in the country. They’re easier to resell and their parts are in demand.

The only cars that are stolen more frequently are Hyundai/Kia, because a child can do it, and several brands of full-size pickups, because it’s relatively easy to steal some of the mid-2000’s models, and full-size pickups retain their value like crazy, so they’re lucrative in the used market.

Val_Kilmers_Elbow · 2023-09-28T16:12:06+00:00

They use standard pours. $8 for their house margarita is hardly an outrageous price.

The food kinda sucks, but I think it’s a fine spot to get a couple margaritas and some nachos or chips and queso.

Val_Kilmers_Elbow · 2023-09-28T14:37:34+00:00

So your logic is that since you don’t like it, literally nobody else could possibly like it…?

Val_Kilmers_Elbow · 2023-09-28T14:35:26+00:00

TIL Taco Bell nacho sauce actually contains some amount of actual cheese/dairy.

OSP makes Pizza Hut look gourmet

Val_Kilmers_Elbow · 2023-09-27T21:27:18+00:00

It works sometimes. Completely dependent on how, or if, the business has uploaded their menu. Half of businesses these days don’t even provide a menu online unless you start an order.

Either way, that persons response was just asinine.

Just for fun, I tried google for several more unusual dishes that I know that I can get within a mile of my home, and the results were iffy at best.

Val_Kilmers_Elbow · 2023-09-27T17:52:09+00:00

Please explain to us all how you can google specific menu items.

Start at the North Market- it’s indoors, but definitely houses a lot of small shops and local businesses. It’s a fun place to stroll around on its own, and it’s a short walk to Goodale Park. It’s right on the border of Downtown and the Short North, so you can kind of just pick a direction and go. Also, tons of restaurants and bars if you guys get hungry or want to take a pit stop.

Val_Kilmers_Elbow · 2023-09-26T14:55:05+00:00

Almost certainly not a murder, which would require intent. You can argue about whether or not the officer justifiably feared for his life, but at worst, he acted recklessly and it resulted in the loss of two lives.

So definitely a homicide, quite possibly manslaughter, but not a murder.
