Just list for me the acceptable restaurants, ok?

[GOPisEvil]

Sheesh, I've been here 2 minutes and I'm ready to sign off. So, please, oh masters of lives not your own, tell where I can and can't eat.

[supernova]

1. Indie restaurants in uber-trendy parts of town

With ingredients like Radicchio and endive.

[begin_within]

55. You mean the ones with incredible descriptions on the menus, but the food

when it's actually in front of you turns out to be just plain old food?

[Critters2]

59. And not much of it nt

[Arugula Latte]

65. Radicchio? ... Oh please. That's so 1989.

:D

[Ramsey]

72. You fogot vegan locally farmed sustainable...

Harvested by $50 an hour guest workers provided universal health care!!

I am ducking now!!

[XemaSab]

76. In Santa Barbara

Sambo's is an indie in the uber-trendy part of town. :hide:

[kay1864]

89. Good one, supernova!

:spray:

and

:thumbsup:

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. Only places that know how to make a decent biscuit & sausage gravy

Fuck anything else.

[SOteric]

10. Okay, I don't brag very often but this is an opportunity.

I make a really cosmic homemade biscuits and sausage gravy. All from scratch. I can't brag to Martin, 'cause he just doesn't care about biscuits & gravy.

I made my cosmically wonderous version for some friends and coworkers a couple of months back. One of them, - a particular fan of the dish disappointed at most versions, - took one bite and then said "Oh my Goodddd! Angels made this!"

*insert smiley for chest puffing out*

[GOPisEvil]

11. He doesn't care about biscuits and gravy?!

*gasp* The horror!

Now you have me craving biscuits and gravy, something that I almost never eat. :9

[SOteric]

15. Yes, well, remember he's British

and they've a long history of eating things we don't care about and vice versa.

[GOPisEvil]

22. True, but I can appreciate a good Shepherd's pie.

Ever make biscuits and gravy using chorizo? Oh. My. God.

[SOteric]

30. Oh heck yeah. Some of my favourite priests are hispanic.

I've gotten some excellent tips on making Migas and Chiliquiles. In fact that Molé recipe I passed along some time back was honed by exposure to a Salvadoran Bishop.

[GOPisEvil]

33. Migas = Food of the Gods

I'm glad I've eaten or else I'd be hungry. :)

[Critters2]

60. Baked beans on toast for breakfast

Blecch! And they call themselves civilized!

[Rabrrrrrr]

20. All the more reason to exchange me for him, then.

I **love** biscuits and gravy! And make some pretty damned good sausage gravy myself. I have received many accolades and kudos!

*insert smiley for chest puffing out*

Though I bet yours is better...

Now I am even more compelled to some day drive out to Seattle (I've long wanted to visit it and Washington state, as well as Idaho and Montana on the way). I thought dinner with you would be incentive enough... but if there's a chance for your homemade biscuits and sausage gravy... hmmmm.... (of course, I'm not implying it would be for breakfast; I don't mean that).

I like my biscuits and sausage gravy with an easy-over egg on top of the biscuit. Yum!!

[JVS]

3. Eat n Park

[Midlodemocrat]

4. OMG. If I weren't married....

:loveya:

[ForrestGump]

5. Food bar at Costco

Um....


Um....


Shoot...there's gotta be another one.


But Costco -- yeah -- I'm pretty sure about that one.

[SammyWinstonJack]

7. !

:evilgrin:

[ForrestGump]

16. I just hope -- I pray -- that he doesn't go to

Sam's Club, by mistake... :o

[SammyWinstonJack]

27. LOL!

He'd never hear the end of that. :yoiks:

[GOPisEvil]

31. Costco membership, I have. Sam's Club, not so much.

:)

[begin_within]

56. The "chicken bake" for $2.69 is a great deal.

[SOteric]

6. I'll be right over with my knives and saucepans.

Put some water on to boil.

[Magrittes Pipe]

8. It doesn't matter...

...as long as you give the local spots (owned by PEOPLE instead of corporations) a shot.

They usually taste better. :)

[GOPisEvil]

14. For the record, I don't usually eat at chains when I have a choice.

In fact, I rarely eat out at all. Local restaurants are better and generally care more about making you happy.

[Magrittes Pipe]

19. Except for White Castle.

Ain't nothin' local can compare to a proper slider! :9

[GOPisEvil]

23. Alas...none of those here.

Whataburger, we have and sliders they are not.

[WolverineDG]

45. Whataburger may be a corporation

but at least it's a family-owned Texas operation & they yanked all their ads on Sinclair stations when Sinclair ran the Swift Boat lies.

Oh, and damn good burgers too. :thumbsup:

dg

[Gato Moteado]

49. say it right.....it's waterburger

nt

[WolverineDG]

51. LOL

so true. :)

dg

[Gato Moteado]

48. oh geez.....those 4AM slider trips after a night of heavy partying!!!

i was a regular vampire hours customer to the one on addison and elston in chicago.

the only thing better at 4am is a polish from jim's on maxwell street.

[Bunny]

9. I've got just the place for you, hon:

:hi: David - how are you doing?

[GOPisEvil]

12. Now we're talkin'!!

:hi: I'm good. How are you?

[Bunny]

25. Doing pretty good!

I am hungry for a gigantic hamburger, too! :9

[GOPisEvil]

29. Served by the lovely and talented Brianna!

:bounce:

[Bunny]

42. She could cure most ills, I think.

Her and her giant burger!

Whoops, I'd best be careful or I'll drive this straight into the sex-thread ditch. :blush:

[GOPisEvil]

43. LOL...

...yeah, like my mind hasn't made that detour already. :blush:

[Richardo]

71. .

[Bunny]

74. You guys need to get out of Texas and come up here - we'll go

eat that delicious burger! :pals:








PS - I mean the food, not Brianna! :rofl:

[Richardo]

77. You nasty.

I like that! :patriot:

[Zomby Woof]

13. Cold Stone Ice Cream, DAMMIT

And I promise there will be no lynchings. :P

[GOPisEvil]

18. That's a chain I can support!

Although, in Austin, I prefer Amy's. www.amysicecream.com

[Zomby Woof]

21. Yes but

Amy doesn't let me dribble, I bet!

[GOPisEvil]

24. I dunno. She has small kids, she's probably used to it.

[Zomby Woof]

28. But no big kids like me?

x( DISCRIMINATION!!!!! :grr: I am suing. I am outraged. I am LIVID.

[GOPisEvil]

34. I'd pay to see her try to carry you.

:D

[Midlodemocrat]

32. Best. Ice. Cream. Ever.

I can hear my arteries hardening as I spoon it into my mouth.

[GOPisEvil]

35. If you go with Zomby don't let him order the cone-bowl combo thing.

It renders him incapable of controlling his drips.

[Zomby Woof]

39. The sidewalk bricks had a nice green hue when I was done!

Old Town will never be the same. :D

[GOPisEvil]

41. I haven't laughed like that in a long time.

That was some funny stuff.

[Zomby Woof]

37. Hell yes!!!

And GOPisEvil personally witnessed me make an unholy mess because of my attempt to eat a "Gotta Have It" size bowl in a chocolate coated cone! :D Nini and huskerlaw were there too. It was GREAT fun! :bounce:

[WindRavenX]

38. word

That shit is insanely good :thumbsup:

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

57. Oh hell no.

Any restaurant where the employees sing ain't a restaurant.

They even make the employees go through auditions.

:thumbsdown:

[Misunderestimator]

17. Hmm... Texas... how about El Fenix... They have one where you are?

Always loved the one in Dallas as a kid. Maybe there's only that one. :shrug:

[GOPisEvil]

26. Must be only the one.

No Taco Bueno down here either. Just Taco Cabana, which has slipped mightily since being sold by the original owners.

[Misunderestimator]

36. Well, darn... That's my favorite Tex-Mex restaurant.

If you're ever in Dallas you should try it. We went there many a sunday after church. I was always fascinated by the woman sitting in the corner making tortillas. I remember my grandmother admonishing me once for mashing up my enchiladas, rice and beans, and wrapping it into tortillas. Yummmmmmm. And the chewy pecan pralines at the cash register on the way out... a rare treat.

[GOPisEvil]

40. It's not Tex-Mex if there aren't pralines!

I like the hole in the wall places where you have to know at least a little spanish to order. :D

[Gato Moteado]

44. tacqueria arandas!

sure, sometimes the food will give you a stomach ache, but, damn the waitresses at the one on burnet were hotties when i was living in austin!

[GOPisEvil]

46. I haven't been there since you left.

I don't eat out much, as you can tell.

[Gato Moteado]

52. well, as soon as i get back to town, i see an arandas trip will be...

...in order.

maybe we can have a DU meetup there.

[hfojvt]

47. eating out is so bourgeoise anyway

what kind of elitist crap is that??? :wtf:

[jobycom]

50. Glad to see the anti-snobs are finally rallying

:woohoo::yourock:

[Iniquitous Bunny]

53. I tend to like local places.

We ordered out tonight from a local BBQ place, but we eyed the Outback Steakhouse menu first. I'm not "anti-chain", but try to be a patron of local places as much as possible. Plus, the food and service are usually better as an added bonus. I don't judge though. Plus, my kids love places like Rainforest Cafe or Bugaboo Creek (and I like those onion thingies at Outback). :D

[Taverner]

54. Salt Lick, Salt Lick and um...Salt Lick

[GalleryGod]

58. Hi,Dave ! Can you believe this Horseshiite !?

At least we had 2001-4, Eh?

[YellowRubberDuckie]

61. Anywhere you want.

It annoys the crap out of me too when people tell me where I can and can't go. Screw em. Go where you want.
Duckie

[Joe Fields]

62. The Big Texan Steakhouse in Amarillo.

Try their 72 ounce steak.

[Gato Moteado]

69. is that the heartstopper special?

do you get a free prostate exam after eating that one?

[Pale Blue Dot]

63. Wow, David.

I've been here for nearly 5 years and that's the snarkiest I've ever seen you. Cool!!

:thumbsup::D

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

64. If you don't know the cool versus uncool places to eat

then perhaps you should just eat shit and die :evilgrin:

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

66. Any place that serves corned beef hash is cool by me. And has pie slices

under those glass containers.

[swag]

67. Trust your gut.

[Blue-Jay]

68. matcom's house!

Grill me a burger, BOY!

[Ramsey]

73. matcom's specialty

Is oven seared filet mignon with blue cheese, if I recall.

[LSK]

86. Children are most welcome at Matcoms!!!!

:rofl:

[NightNurse]

70. This is so very,very, mature.

Live a life,first, children, and ne-ver dictate terms. Got it?:argh:

It's my hard earned cash...I'll eat where I want to eat...
apparently "Birdman" was absolutely correct, "JAFO!"

[Midlodemocrat]

75. If these threads bother you so much, why do you post in them?

Hide them.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

78. Ma'am, I have the thread JUST for you.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x5454611

[mwooldri]

79. ANYTHING - from McDonalds upwards.

Heck if you're hungry McDonalds does nicely. Even though half on the things on the menu are ready to give you a coronary.

Mark.

[bridgit]

80. i have 2 for 1 hamburgers, or 20% off your bill @ Denny's coupons...

:bounce: :9 :thumbsup:

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

81. You'll eat where I tell you to eat!

GOT IT!? :D

[ProfessorGAC]

83. Oh No! It's Where I Tell Them To Eat!

So, to clarify. Vash says "Eat There". Ignore. Professor says "Eat There". Then eat there.

See how simple all this can be?
The Professor

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

84. Hey! Stop usurping what little power I have!!

My snobbery is bigger than yours damnit!! x(

[ProfessorGAC]

85. Don't Be Ridiculous!

NOBODY'S snobbery is bigger than mine. But, i'll tell you what: We can arrange a power sharing. You tell them where to eat, and i will only veto that with cause. Otherwise, it's your call.

Now, that seems a fair way to share absolute authority.
The Professor

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

87. Do I look like a Republican Congressman to you?

I'm not giving up jackshit! You'll eat where I tell you to eat too! AND you'll like it! :grr: :argh: :D

[ProfessorGAC]

88. Oh No I Won't

Even if i eat there, i won't like it. Now, you had your chance to share power. Now, i'm revoking the offer. You have no power. None. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Niente. See what happens when you challenge the size of my snobbery?
The Professor

[XNASA]

82. Pok-E-Jo's BBQ in Round Rock.

[LynneSin]

90. Mikimoto's in Wilmington

although if you can't make it up to Wilmington, the Bamboo House is a good substitute
