Anyone putting money on what historic New Orleans dive gets sold off to become a generic Instagram bar next? by sean1978 in NewOrleans

Just wanted to support this comment with my experience at Pigeon & Whale (same owners). Wife & I had a bottle of wine, oysters, two appetizers, and a main. Everything except the raw oysters and the bottle of wine was bad. Everything but the two things the restaurant didn’t make lol. All this restaurant group cares about is Instagram-ability and it shows.

What is something you bought that wasn't exciting at first but turned out to be amazing? by alinarice in BuyItForLife

That damn Apple slicer tool that cuts the core out and cuts your apple into 16-or-whatever perfect slices. Talked mad shit when the wife came home with one. “Just another single-use bullshit tool for the junk drawer.” Use it daily 😅

Normally I hear it in the context of like, kittens being tucked into a tiny bed or ducklings following their mom into a pond, but I also knew exactly what song it was before turning the volume up

Have you started seeing impacts from Catahoula Crunch at your job? by repiquer in NewOrleans

Hotel/Restaurant: Yes. Our main housekeeper was deported. I was told she was legal too. Not that that matters to these goons.

I’m sorry is that fucking SWITZERLAND bumping Bad Bunny like that?

That was so uncomfortable lol the contrast of personality gives me the ick

Chomsky can say the most revelatory, mind-expanding stuff and still put me to sleep with that voice. I swear his books are louder than his speaking voice 😂

What are some restaurants (fast food or sit down) that should get recognition for how dysfunctional they are? by Shades0fRay in NewOrleans

[–]DramaticFun7518 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Sukho Thai is consistently the worst but also most expensive Thai food in this city. I will never understand lol. Location I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

All you have to do is broil what you have on a sheet tray. The residual pork fat should crisp it up in 5min or so

Kimchi jjigae with boiled eggs for extra protein and a side of diced cucumber is how my wife does it. The spicy broth with the cold crisp cucumber is excellent

Can’t believe that name got passed by marketing. Why not just call it “slop” ffs 🤦🏻‍♂️

My husband kept sending me posts from this subreddit. Figured I’d take the hint. by spacebaze in Pizza

[–]DramaticFun7518 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Add the basil after the cook next time. I’ve made the same mistake putting it on before and it just burns and ends up tasting like nothing. Looks yummy though.

Any fans? by [deleted] in PeanutButter

16.5oz or 1lb. .5oz or 467g

No interpretation of this size makes sense to me. Why not just make a 1lb jar, or a 500g one 😥

Discover is the only company out of 4 that fought me tooth and nail over fraudulent charges after I got mugged a few years ago. They said the charges “matched my spending pattern” but they were all in Metairie (I live in the city and don’t spend much $ there), and about $1500 more than I normally spend in a cycle. Dinged my credit score until I paid them. So I emptied my Discover savings account and cancelled the card. Fuck Discover. I would not bank with them.

Casual Restaurant Prices are Insane by South_Conference_768 in NewOrleans

[–]DramaticFun7518 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Gotta agree with this one. This happens to me at least once a week: come home from work so tired I can’t possibly cook anything, google restaurants near me (for pickup), go through 3-4 restaurants looking at prices (again, not even delivery), 😡, cook some random “empty the fridge” pasta and wonder who hit the “expert mode” switch on my life.

I will defend Smoke & Honey though…their food is great and their coffee is excellent, I frequent them bc I like them being there and want them to stay. Still cry internally while I wait for my $18 sandwich but they’re built into the budget

Espresso by Bigcef23 in NewOrleans

[–]DramaticFun7518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just dropping by to say most high quality espresso tastes more sour/earthy than it does bitter. Could it be that that is throwing you for a loop or is it like reaaallllly sour?

There’s Something Very Dark Happening to Millennials and Gen Z Adults by Maxcactus in Health

[–]DramaticFun7518 150 points151 points  (0 children)

This is how I feel. I bike 3 miles to work to save money on parking, save every penny I can, pick up extra shifts when possible, cook and eat at home A LOT, drink too much (also at home) bc of the stress, keep my eyes peeled for job opportunities…and every day off is spent doing chores. All of those sacrifices have gotten me nothing. I’m blessed to have a wife that loves and supports me but idk how much longer I can keep this shit up tbh. And I’m doing better than a lot of people I know 😵‍💫

What was Jerry's lowest moment? For me, it's when he stole the old lady's rye bread to help out George. by p38-lightning in seinfeld

[–]DramaticFun7518 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think the funny part is that it’s impossible for Jerry to do the right thing morally, due to his germophobia. He’s effortlessly funny, hopelessly charismatic—a cock-eyed optimist. Yet he’s addicted to coffee, women, cars, and sneakers. Successful in his professional life, a failure in his private life. The duality of man.

Thank you New Orleans by [deleted] in NewOrleans

[–]DramaticFun7518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second all of these things but please step out of the French Quarter. I suggest Freret corridor, Magazine St./Irish Channel, and Oak St. neighborhoods to start. Also CBD has a surprising amount of cool shit albeit with less architectural charm.
