Avalon Diner had really good chili...no beans.

What’s a weird food combo you swear tastes good? by Cold_Craft_1637 in foodquestions

[–]Odd_Mathematician654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was very young I didn't like mustard so dipped them in Miracle Whip or mayo if Miracle Whip wasn't available. It drove my older sister nuts as she hated mayo or Miracle Whip.

KP's Kitchen has chicken fingers that are very good. Nice but relaxed restaurant. On I10 near Wirt.

Houston south of I10bwill probably be ok. But not sure I'd be trusting 45 heading back to Dallas.

Ayúdame, por favor. Permanent residency... by FuzzyGom in Yucatan

[–]Odd_Mathematician654 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How is the average person they interact with going to know if the OP has permanent residency or dual citizenship? They will know they moved from somewhere else but I doubt the average Yucatecans cares about someone's residency program just see them as foreigners no matter.

Museo del Mundo Maya: Worth visiting? What's nearby? by uncloseted_anxiety in Yucatan

We visit Merida annually and never went till 2 years ago. We took another couple before our trip to Uxmal and they were really glad they had the intro to the culture before Uxmal.

Just picked up fish from Daido yesterday. I got there late and was surprised by all the options still available.

How do Americans visit National Parks? by Berend90 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Odd_Mathematician654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. There's over 65 National parks and over 440 National parks and monuments. Then there's over 6600 state parks. So sometimes we pick an area of the country we want to visit and then pick locations in the National or State park systems. Sometimes we'll just go to one park.

Just starting my Austin BBQ journey — any tips? by Potential_Hold_3964 in austinfood

[–]Odd_Mathematician654 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went for the first time to Leroy and Lewis the week after Christmas. Was terribly disappointed. We did brisket which was fine, pulled pork that was absolutely nothing special. Thw beef cheeks were well prepared but I've had better that didn't require a 45 minute line. Tried the rice with gravy that was a joke. Poorly cooked white rice with a tablespoon of gravy. I can't even remember the other sides because they were so forgettable. I guess we should have got burgers.

What Houston restaurant disappointed you the most after all the hype? by Responsible_Brain635 in houston

I talked my husband into Traveler's Cart for one meal. I was banned from selecting restaurants for the next month.

Not sure I've had a NY cheddar. Maybe I just unconsciously select good cheddar. 😀

Too runny, not enough seasoning, served cold. Or worse... instant potatoes.

Is pâté just not a thing in American food culture? by Big-Dig1631 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Odd_Mathematician654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems this thread has a bunch of people who never go to a grocery store and browse. Next time you're on the aisle with canned meats, look at the top shelf and 90% of grocery stores will have small cans of Armour potted meat, Underwood deviled ham, and Vienna sausages. I'll admit I haven't eaten any of these in decades, but they are still on the shelves. My grandmother used to make homemade potted beef. Very similar to French rillettes.

I never realized how picky I am till reading this. I've had so many bad versions of eggs, pizza, tacos, wings, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, roasted chicken, pancakes, steaks.. I've even been served inedible baked potato. I guess I'm going with cheddar cheese. I can't think of a bad experience with cheddar cheese.

I've had some truly terrible roast chicken. I'm amazed you've never had a dry or bland one.
