Also a banner year for honey production.

Vegan Pancakes with scoop of vegan protein.

Topped with Almond Butter

Square up. Presentation isn’t key. Taste is.

Y’all food might look amazing, but has no flavor.

DUDE got olives, chickpeas and boiled chicken pieces in his whole wheat wrap.

Come on man. How you going to knock his food when those pancakes look pre-digested.

1st time trying this spot
SALATA
Very very good slaps chipotle in d face if it was a human.

Got one of those near my office. Hit it up for lunch sometimes. A lot of choices, good quality ingredients. For a place in a food court it’s very solid.

I was trying to take a little off of what I really felt.

Since we got some plant-based content going on today, I saw that IKEA is working on a vegan version of their Swedish Meatballs. If I ever try them, will report back on whether the vegan version is just as mediocre as the animal based ones.

Au Jus Mushroom Rice

Threw it in a burrito with thin sliced ribeye

 

[titang545]

Was this the #2 choice on the menu?

I see you.

With all this cheesesteak talk can anyone vouch for the places in their city. I guess it says something about the spot if people in the city aren't repping it.

Certainly will need to check the spot out in LA unless it is just trash.

Nothing crazy but anyone like Inside Outs?

Pretty much a pizza but inside out. Cheese/sauce inside

That rice and mushrooms would have never made it to the burrito. Smashed on sight !

The homerism over cheesesteaks is so funny to me because there's nothing unique to Philly about it.

It's not like they have some ingredient that's only easily accessible to them. The sandwich can be, and is, replicated everywhere.

Had a few cheesesteaks when I visited my brother in Philly and was fairly underwhelmed with each one. Chopped cheese>Philly cheesesteak. At least the chopped cheese is cheap.

Honestly have never heard of something like that being called an Inside Out. Always known them as Calzones. I like them, but never quite as much as regular pizza.

Sounds good, but wouldn't that be like a calzone?

If it's the place I believe it to be, it's not that good or I just don't think Philly Cheeseteaks are that good.

Can this same logic be applied to NY pizza or

Can this same logic be applied to NY pizza or

I would say no in this instance. What separates their pizza is what makes it a NY pizza. And what makes it different than a Chicago Deep Dish pizza or other regional pizza.

You can use that logic to let's say a California Burrito. It's nothing super exclusive about it to California. It's just popular here. It's called a Philly Cheese steak I'm assuming because it's a city favorite. That's all there is to it.

 

[lawdog1]

Or any regional signature dish, like Memphis BBQ or Maryland crab cakes?

WHAT is it though that separates their pizza from anyone else’s? Because from the logic he used, people anywhere can recreate a NY slice or CHI slice by using the same ingredients and methods unless there is some ingredient(s) only NYers have access to. I’m genuinely curious because I’ve heard from countless NYers who tried pizza outside the boroughs that people market as a “NY slice” say that it doesn’t hold up. I’ve heard stuff like “it’s the NY water” and other similar hullabaloo as to why it can’t be replicated. It all just sounds like homerism to me.
