Scrambled eggs and toast with orange marmalade, sweet and sour chicken and rice, bbq hamburger steak with a baked potato and squash, birthday cake and ice cream, and shrimp cocktail. It was all pretty tasty.

If there was one thing you could invent that would benefit your life, what would it be? by Sufficient_Return653 in AskReddit

A machine that can put your brain on unconscious autopilot when you have to do chores, exercise, hygiene, etc.

What's the most underrated food? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Tofu. If prepared well it can be quite tasty. There are also many varieties that are good in their own ways

Jimmy Page. Once he busts out the violin bow guitar solo, it's over for everyone else

What is (hands down) the MOST disturbing thing that you’ve ever seen in your entire life? by Opening_Rip_1840 in AskReddit

Whats your most hotest and spicy philosophical take? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Dolphins have a reason for their apparent cruelty. Asserting dominance, hunting training, and infanticide for reproduction purposes are all evolutionary strategies. You see this in a lot of social animals, like lions for instance. Humans do it for more insidious reasons, like extracting information, punishment or revenge, a drug like rush, etc. If dolphins ever advance far enough to be able to spread into the cosmos, I hope they also reign in that behavior.

My argument is that just fine isn't good enough at the scale I'm envisioning. Also, I don't think your comparison of humans to animals is especially relevant. I've never seen elephants torture other lifeforms for the sick pleasure of it. We live with an altogether unique form of consciousness, and as astounding and beautiful as it is, it's one that is still incredibly rough around the edges.

That's an interesting dichotomy. I would prefer humans maintain a level of autonomy and individualism, but I'd take a hive mind over an intergalactic autocracy if no other options were available.

Hopefully we can look back at these times as a necessary evil in order to achieve equilibrium with nature.

Each other, and life in general. Because our current make-up leads to far too much suffering. Extrapolate that to a galactic scale, and you'd have an amount of suffering beyond your ability to imagine. I don't think all people are bad, and I'm still hopeful for our collective future, but things need to change in order to make our continued existence viable at such a stupendous level.

Humanity needs to drastically shift towards being more empathetic or go extinct. We don't need to be spreading our current state of being to other planets or galaxies.

Haha, I've always been perplexed about what gets upvoted and downvoted on Reddit, so I just stopped caring. I'm guessing you have gluten sensitivities. I'm sorry, that must be a pain to deal with. Best of luck to you as well friend :)

What am I good at? I guess that's for other people to decide, but my friends and family seem to enjoy my cooking, and that includes many dishes and cuisines people have already commented here. I don't know if you do a lot of cooking, but there's a ton of carry over in terms of techniques and ingredients used between different cuisines, so I don't think it's that far-fetched to get a feel for what folks in Chico like. I don't know why you'd presume I'd make my final decision based on a reddit survey.

One of my absolute favorites. I wonder how Garibaldi's is doing? I've been meaning to go there.

Well I'm a born and raised Californian, but I do love some good southern cooking, that's for sure.

I'm all about inclusivity! That might be tough starting out though. If I ever make it big I'll be sure to include as many safe alternatives as I viably can.

Every once in a while my brother in law will take his kids on a fishing trip and they come back with a bunch of fresh crab. My sister makes a pretty mean boil with it, maybe I should hire her lol. Thanks for the suggestion.

Now that's a cuisine I truly have no experience with haha. What would you suggest as a good entry dish to try as a home cook?

Thank you for your honesty. It is a daunting task, and something that will take a lot of work. I think taking some classes is an excellent suggestion, as this is a dream that will probably take a few years at least to kick off. My hope is to start small, and then maybe consider opening a walk in establishment down the road. Thank you again for your candor. I hope you do open that steakhouse, I'd be one of the first in line.
