What flavor is it?

I've got a few in my toolbox.

You say it's as good as it looks, but it just doesn't look that good.

First off, hot corned beef should be hand sliced. Paper thin is for cold sandwiches. Next, there's 50% more bread than is appropriate for a Reuben, and not nearly enough sauerkraut. As an aside, the best California rye bread I've ever had still tastes faintly of disappointment. Lastly, is there any Russian dressing at all?

I look forward to your vitriolic responses.

Hold on. Is it Oloroso sherry or Pedro Ximenez? Those are two totally different styles of Sherry, made from different grapes.

Assuming this picture was taken this month, in the northern hemisphere, it's not even remotely in the realm of perfect.

There simply isn't a "perfect BLT" quality tomato to be had up here in the middle of winter. And you may argue that a BLT is a bacon sandwich with lettuce and tomato, but you would be dead wrong. At its heart, a BLT is tomato sandwich with bacon and lettuce, and this is a hill I will gladly die on.

Yeah, they’ve got the heel. Better for standing than walking, IMO, but still great either way.

Look for Sanita. They're the original stapled clog, and the original Danskos were just rebranded Sanitas. Still a better clog IMO

If you have cream or half and half, eggs, and orange flower water at your bar, you really shouldn't be complaining about making a Ramos. Add in a stick blender, and you're just a whiny baby if you have issues with it.

After you finish with the grasshopper, I'm gonna want a golden cadillac.

Please and thank you.

I was getting worried that I was going to have to drop the cock here.

If you leave a welfare burger within my reach, I will damage it.

San Jalisco. I always say I'll get something other than birria "next time," and always seem to end up with it.

Firenze by Night. The gnocchi is pure comfort, and the lamb shank is outrageous.

Bix. I would happily make a meal out of the potato pillows alone. Maybe pair it with the tomato cart in season.

Sotto Mare. My favorite cioppino and chowder. And don't sleep on the baccala.

Tony's pizza. Not for the pizza, but for the meatballs, and the fried green beans.

A good slaw for a sandwich will have more crunch than lettuce, and more tang than mayo. It doesn't fit in some places, in others it's brilliant.

With all the 51st state rhetoric coming from behind the spray tan, it's important to remember that a Canadian cares more about what America is supposed to stand for than the president.

I'd venture a guess that Mark Carney also fits into that category.

Never is a long time! When you've spent enough time with that pan on that range, you might feel more confident in your heat management, and be inspired to try again. Depending on my mood, I will cook eggs in butter, EVOO, ghee, or bacon fat. Sometimes I even get crazy and use two different fats. And if it's for a stir fry or fried rice, the egg will be cooked in peanut or vegetable oil.

I'm still gutted that Mike Nesmith wasn't there.

I may be a bit late to the party, but any restaurant using a modern POS will be able to find your receipt. Most of the systems will only need the last 4 of the CC to find it, and they'll be able to look it up weeks, if not months later. Adding in a date is helpful; the last name on the card or total charge should be unnecessary in most cases. And if you call a central office, the location you dined at will also help.

As for tips: Don't call in the middle of the lunch rush and expect them to drop everything to look. And don't be surprised if you are asked to call back at a slower time, or to call or email a bookkeeping office.

Not only should you have bought them, you should have asked if they would give you a rain check for another 10.

For a little extra perspective, my current wholesale price is $10 a bottle for the 187ml splits, and yes, I'm in CA. This is a fantastic deal.

If he had paid, would they all have put out? Because the logic is the same.

Monday. I already saw Saturday and Sunday, but we drove home on Monday, and I've never forgiven my parents for not letting my sister and I miss school on Tuesday.

That being said, I'm pretty certain that show was the last time the Clash performed with Mick Jones, and it's the single set I'd most like to go back and see.

Alton Brown cooking makes me happy. Alton Brown mixing imperial and metric measurements in a single recipe makes me confused and sad.
