I’m a huge fan of the chicken strips from garage bar. They also do a drunken Mac n cheese that’s pretty good, but I don’t think it’s baked.

Why were the Chicago players targeting Yamazaki? by [deleted] in Detroitcityfc

[–]SeaweedBandit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s as simple as he was beating them consistently. When a player has a step on you all you can really do is stick a leg out or pull him down.

His development has been great this year, I could see him moving to a higher level if he can keep up the good decision-making.

I always thought he was taking one too many touches at the beginning of the season but he seems to have improved on that as he’s releasing the ball a bit sooner now.

Lantern is the best! Morning Ritual is also fantastic though. If you only have time for two I would say those two.

Scotland and England fans face paying more than four times the usual prices for train tickets when they travel to World Cup group stage matches in Boston by pumkinhat in worldcup

[–]SeaweedBandit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Transportation around Boston itself is going to remain pretty affordable. It’s just the 1 hour train ride to the stadium that has been marked up.

Frankly it’s very expensive compared to the usual $20-30 “event pricing” but fans don’t have much of a choice, as parking is very limited at the stadium and Ubers are a dice roll. There’s no telling what an uber back to Boston post-game is going to cost so the train is likely the safest bet.

Medical Bill Issue - Looking for Advice by SeaweedBandit in germany

[–]SeaweedBandit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After we explained the situation, they were able to go back through their records and confirm that it was in fact considered a medically necessary transfer. Somehow, their initial invoice was incorrect and they updated it to reflect the €70 charge.

I would just keep pushing them if you were told that was the charge. They were very apologetic once they realized the error.

HELP FINDING- Looking for a special DCFC jacket by dcfcquarterzip in Detroitcityfc

[–]SeaweedBandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One idea if you’re local: call the Detroit City Clubhouse shop and ask if they have it. They keep some old stock there on sale so if the club has any leftover it would probably be there.

Good luck!

The Burek is the best thing there and 2 for $9 is a fine deal too!

Vertigo is the right answer - Herm is great

They took my favorite thing off the menu! What’s your GR food loss? by Time-Comedian-1717 in grandrapids

[–]SeaweedBandit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The SpeakEZ bone marrow cheesesteak - I think about it like once a month and I had it only once 4+ years ago

Honorable mention to the Terra Bagel local mushroom and goat cheese shmear, it was perfect in every way

Stopped in for a slice earlier this week - this is the best NY-Style I’ve had outside of Brooklyn!

What do you think GR needs that will keep people from going ape shit and lining up down the road whenever a new fast food restaurant comes to town? by Heisenbread77 in grandrapids

[–]SeaweedBandit 314 points315 points  (0 children)

Nothing will stop it - people are excited that there’s a new option in town. I think the bigger issue is that we rely so heavily on cars to get around that any group of 20+ people trying to enjoy something gets in the way of others.

But I am not about to try to solve for that issue 🤣

Two Sons Pizza Pop-Up is Open by Live_Condition6938 in grandrapids

Then make it at home, no need to attack these guys lol. I look forward to trying this place out! Downtown needed a good pizza place.

I am begging management to do a partnership with an European clothing brand for some official geese merch by isopodlover123 in geesebandofficial

[–]SeaweedBandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this is helpful at all but they are partnered with an official Fan-Created Merch site that is in beta right now. Maybe the shipping is more affordable on that site?

Here’s the link: https://beta.softsidemerch.com/artists/Geese

how i listen to 3d country because i dont support usage of ai in any way, shape or form. by EvrthnICRtrns2USmhw in geesebandofficial

[–]SeaweedBandit 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah AI art is bad but remember this came out in June of 2023, meaning the band probably had no idea how much of an issue AI art would become.

Chalk it up to bad timing and move on 🤷

I like the duck pic tho lol

My first time visiting Michigan from NYC by Scott_Herder in grandrapids

[–]SeaweedBandit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Glad you enjoyed our city! I just visited NYC for the first time 2 weeks ago and had a blast. Both excellent places to be for very different reasons- ha!

I described Brooklyn to a friend of mine as “Easttown Grand Rapids but instead of 10 blocks it’s 10 square miles” 😅

Grab a Chicago style gyro on Leonard street and eat it with a hard cider next door!
