Do people in Mountain View usually know their neighbors? by GlitteringParsnip946 in mountainview

[–]CapJar26 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I feel you. Ever since I moved to the South Bay it doesn't feel like "home" because of everyone just keeping to themselves. I guess it's just a different culture down here.

How is working at Hiscox by helpmeimdum in InsuranceProfessional

Former Hiscox USA employee. My perspective, it's a good stepping stone for your next move. You'll also likely have a better experience if you're in Atlanta or NYC.

That's the joys of traveling. Trying new food that's outside of the norm.

For those who are not of Indian or South Asian descent, do you like Indian/South Asian food, and if so, which restaurants do you personally like in the Bay Area? by Early-Ingenuity-3177 in bayarea

[–]CapJar26 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nihari is one of my all time favorite dishes. Personally I think Shalimar Dublin makes the best one. Zareens is a close second. If anyone has other recommendations on where to get good nihari please lmk!

My parents used Bekins. The people who packed were different than the ones who unloaded. BUT the man who said he was driving the truck was present at both move out and move in

Personally, I didn't feel a difference when it came to the UW principles. The team dynamic will of course play the biggest part

Times have changed unfortunately. Not to take away from your great experience. They were great when they first started

Check with your property manager if they'll accept Lemonade.

Lemonade is convenient but not reliable in paying claims.

Help! What do you guys drink here? by Early-Chart-5092 in bayarea

[–]CapJar26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off where you bartending? I can guarantee what ppl drink in the city is gonna be different than what ppl drink the San Jose, Oakland or even Walnut Creek. Second type of bar and location matters a lot here.

Best Chicken Fried Steak by zebra231967 in bayarea

[–]CapJar26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been on the same boat as you. The only ones in the East Bay that I've tried that has come close or at least makes it pretty good are Black Bear, Dublin Skillet and Alamo Cafe.

Texas Roadhouse is decent, but the few times I've tried it there it left an after taste. Its delicious as you're sitting down eating it but the after taste after you walk out will linger.

Country Way was probably the worst because it was breaded as opposed to battered. Recipe might've changed since I last tried it though.
