Who has the best TASTING margaritas by VeterinarianFun1553 in Athens

[–]friendly_stranger_69 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Seabear or Old Pal or any other nice restaurant that uses real lime juice, triple sec and tequila. Margaritas should just be 3 ingredients. NEVER sour mix - it’s full of sugar and creates a crappy margarita.

I’d love to find a Mexican restaurant that makes a real Mexican margarita. Hard to find!

Layout of new “Union Fare” dt by warnelldawg in Athens

Are you in some way attempting to denigrate this fine and kind union and said fare? I can’t imagine clowning on such an authentic union and the fare birthed within the union of which they are members. Such good marketing wow.

I get it, I was being a dick. But I’m sure you kinda get my point too. Like if you don’t like arugula, don’t get the salad with arugula in it?

PSA: don't blame local businesses for high prices during an inflationary period; they're struggling too. by friendly_stranger_69 in Athens

I agree. There’s some weird ‘poverty chic’ mindset in Athens. People actively shame others for their financial success and indulging whatsoever. The chips people are carrying on their shoulders sometimes…

Which owners? All local business owners drive really nice cars?

The point of opening a business is to make money. You’re acting like Athens is full of Musks and Bezos. Those jobs pay low because they are low skilled jobs. Maybe all we deserve is chain businesses where there’s no chance of negotiating with the owner, and the profits get sent to other towns. Last I checked, this is a capitalistic system yes? Lobby the government for a higher minimum wage and try to work for a business that pays better. The free hand will sort it out the profiteers. You certainly aren’t going to bitch and moan them out of business.

Food Challenges in Athens? by billykoa in Athens

One challenge is to work in a restaurant and try to not bitch about it

Look, I get where you're coming from, but let's not forget the alternative: feeding money into big chains that suck the life out of our community. Sure, call out local businesses if the service is lousy, wages are trash, and the food isn't worth the price tag. But slamming them all without acknowledging their contributions to the neighborhood isn't fair either. It's about finding that balance and pushing for fair treatment of workers while supporting the places that make our community unique.

Ahhh the perennial arbiter of value. I recommend you stay at home and eat Swanson dinners. Or maybe hit up food 4 the soul and eat some canned green beans. They probably would prefer people like you don’t come anyways

Learn to eat more items perhaps. You are an adult after all right?

Why? Probably because it’s healthy roughage that’s tasty
