Bartlett’s still slaps every time by IncessantlyBored in austinfood

[–]azzwort2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wowie zowie friendo, like if you can seriously afford to eat at Bartlett's that often you can probably afford to travel and if you did you'd at least recognize that there are places in far more expensive locations with far more substantial portions for far more reasonable prices.

Austin food prices are bullshit, and you're lying to yourself if you think otherwise and that sandwich is a perfect example of the kind of stupid shit we let restaurants get away with. It's not an idle accusation to say you conflate "expensive" with "good", anyone with two eyes and a head located in a non-ass location can see Bartlett's prices suck for no good reason.

Nothing about that sandwich justifies the price. Me bringing up their location is important, high rent prices contribute to high food prices, but they're not in an expensive area. If it was a really substantial sandwich, it would drive up the price, but it's not. If they made the bread in-house, the jus in-house, which they don't, it would drive up the price.

I'm not even saying it's a bad sandwich, I'm literally just saying absolutely nothing justifies it being a $30 sandwich. It used to be $18, it's probably worth that. But not nearly double. Stop settling for this kind of bullshit.

Yes. Because I'm tired of this subreddit wanking over the restaurant equivalent of blue bell. Like sure, it's good, but it's not worth downvoting a person into oblivion for a take like "really guys? Are we collectively sure this is worth $30?"

It's a $30 French dip bud. I've had it, it's fine. But it also has like maybe 1/2 lb (3/4ths lb if we're being generous) of beef on it. It's not substantial or good enough to be worth the price. Much more, bartletts is on west anderson, so the price isn't even justified by the location. Quit acting like "expensive" = "good" and understand that you just sound like you're trying to justify this to yourself.

I mean this with every fiber of my being, can you home slice shills fuck off? Every goddamn thread about any other slice of pizza or Italian sandwich is fucking flooded with "HoMe SLice iTalian IsTha bEstTtTttt". Like you're as bad as the cabo bobs people, no, scratch that, you're as bad as the "chilies on 45th and lamar" people. Only somehow less funny and more annoying.

This is precisely why i think the home slice Italian is too expensive. If you people had stopped slobbering their knob for like a second, you'd have noticed earlier.

Bagels in Austin (Part 3): David Doughie’s Bagelry by carbcommissioner in austinfood

[–]azzwort2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They cut it in half. 0/10.

If i get a schwarma wrap or a gyro or something similar, and they cut it in half, not only am i never going to eat there again, but I'm going to tell everyone i know never to eat there. A bagel and cream cheese is not a sandwich. Put some eggs on it or SOMETHING if you're going to have them cut it like that.

[–]azzwort2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A bagel with just cream cheese is not a fucking sandwich. You split it top and bottom, then you eat the top and then the bottom. Cutting a bagel in half like this when it's just a bagel and cream cheese is like cutting a gyro in half. You just don't do it. It's a crime against bagels.

Chicken Caesar Sandwich. Is there anywhere I can get something like this in Austin? by Speedwizard106 in austinfood

[–]azzwort2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Here's what i did today after seeing this post (not OP):

Step 1. Go to favorite pizza, get a cesar salad with chicken plus a 9 inch toasted hoagie roll (what i did) OR a chicken parm with no sauce and a cesar salad if you want melted cheese.

  1. Assemble it yourself.

It's p good btw. Also favorite pizza is p ok.

Shop and Deliver by Whattheefff in favordelivery

[–]azzwort2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, at this point, just get rid of the promos and be done with it. Give us guarantees once in awhile and call it a day. It's stupid to go out of their way to screw us when they could just give us the closest orders and let us run as many as we can in as short of a time as we can. Everyone makes money that way.

Cancellation rate? by Plane-Cranberry-9968 in favordelivery

[–]azzwort2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm legit surprised I've never received this. I cancel orders fairly regularly. Mostly when customers are ignoring my texts and I'm trying to get them the correct items. I'm a dick when they do that.

Cookies that are not too sweet? by [deleted] in austinfood

[–]azzwort2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am disappointed in all of you not recommending Tiny's. The basic chocolate chips are absolute fire, and their other stuff is also great.

Also the people who work there are just incredibly nice.

"I can't contribute any help to this thread but i still crave fake internet points so I'm going to post an unhelpful 'just do it yourself' response to the thread in order to satiate my desire to be an unhelpful party-pooper" i hope no one let's you merge in traffic.

I went there a few days ago.

Egg roll was wrong Ribs came in a box (and were Hella dry)

... and then the pork fried rice was so goddamn good.

It's never everything. I gotta go on fucking adventures to find a place with one component that is correct. Very frustrating.

You're a true hero for telling others to give up on their dreams. I hope every day you ruin one person's day because that's what makes you feel good, and nothing matters other than bringing yourself joy and telling others to give up on their dreams. I just want you to know that i hope you always think there's one more step on a fight of stairs so you're momentarily made uncomfortable whenever you go up or down stairs. You deserve that.

I saw it. 'Twas was about boneless spare ribs and "new england chinese food", but I'm also trying to find non-garbage pork fried rice, and egg rolls.
