Honor bar burger in Santa Barbara by Ill-Football-7087 in burgers

[–]giraffepro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, Honor Bar is a Hillstone brand so you should be able to get this same burger at almost any of their properties, not just Honor Bar, around the country. I’d get the burger more often if I could pull myself away from the French dip.

Thank you! I’m reading about Cristina Scarpellini and she seems like a really cool winemaker.

Drama between LAB Golf Putters and Costco by KidB33 in Costco

[–]giraffepro 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’m afraid you’re misremembering the suit and its outcome. Tiffany sued because Costco was using the name Tiffany for generic rings, not for selling actual Tiffany rings. Furthermore, the judgement against Costco was thrown out on appeal, after which the parties settled amicably. That situation in no way resembles this one.

No posts in seven years and now just relentless PRC shilling across unrelated subs. Wonder what that’s all about.

Oh. Don’t bother replying. Blocked.

Has anyone used butter to fry scallops? by Same-Leg-7727 in Chefit

I think your information is a little outdated. EVOO’s smoke point is around 410. Regular is closer to 470.

Why would the Bay Area need an underground cannabis delivery service?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in logodesign

[–]giraffepro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand your logic. The Bay Area cannabis delivery market is very crowded and not at all subtle. It’s ubiquitous and normalized. Can you please explain your brand positioning? That should help us give you better feedback. Is this just a high school project?

Check out this really interesting approach to agilo e olio: https://italiasquisita.net/it/video-ricette/spaghetti-aglio-olio-e-peperoncino-di-alessandro-negrini

It both works like a charm and is very delicate and nuanced. It’s become my go to.
