FOOD THREAD VOL. GRUB LIFE

[xwestbullyx]

Gonna be in Raleigh, NC for a weekend next month. Any food suggestions?

Hit up Dame’s Chicken and Waffles, it’s in Cary, Durham and Gboro...Cary is probably closer but I haven’t tried that location yet, nonetheless a must. Alpaca for some decent charred chicken, and most of the breweries have some good quick food (burgers, wings, tacos).

Yea fries with SUCH a liquid-based condiment like Sasla just doesn't work. As the Kid said, fried potatoes need some sort of stickiness substance to be used on them.

 

[HNL HI]

is a piece of steak in a baguette even a burger tho? and why would they give me salsa for it?

 

[plansb]

yeah thats an odd looking "burger"

 

[D.Josey]

so many questions tbh

Whole picture looking like an optical illusion.

 

[SC kid]

Is that a chicken under the bread?

 

[DCAllAfrican]

On my way to Chicago as we speak, flying in from New England for All Out.. def. Hyped. Anyone recommend good eats in Chicago area?

Someone help him

**** gonna be the death of me to have these in TriBeCa.

Bottom one is grilled cactus which I tried for the first and likely last time.

Horchata and adobada tacos not pictured.

 

[SC kid]

Can you describe the taste of cactus

 

[illphillip]

I didn't really get much flavor to be honest. Hence my lack of interest in it.

Plus they cut it up into small pieces. It was kind of like having less flavorful green pepper in there.

Didn't like that. Would have preferred it in strips or something. If I have to do a veg taco I'd rather it just be peppers/onions/guac or avocado etc.

I come in peace, but when would this ever be a situation?

Keywords, "Have to"

You are a fascinating human being

You are a fascinating human being

I'm dead serious though. When will you be in a situation where you HAD to eat a Veggie Taco?

If you are a carnivore, the hell are you eating veggie tacos for. Unless you gotta pretend for a female.

This is consistent with my experience eating cactus. It wasn’t in a taco, but was the feature in a side “salad” served with Huaraches. Just tasted like the vinegar they soaked it in and not much else. Wasn’t bad really; just nothing special and not better than more standard Mexican sides.

I’ve had some pretty tasty non-meat tacos. The Lotteria Grill in the West Hollywood Farmer’s Market makes a good potato and corn taco, and one of my neighborhood spots has an egg-based Breakfast Taco that I get regularly.

Sorry I didn't clarify.
What you're seeing there is a carne asada plate and a grilled chicken plate. Buttered bread to go with it.
Not burgers

 

[akajae]

I'll throw some cactus on a taco but wouldn't have a cactus taco.

Tried the new Jamaican "jerk" turkey sub from firehouse

They describe it as having "a hint of Jamaican jerk seasoning"

And they are liars.


It's not even close to a hint. It's like if you're spouse came home from work and said "guess what"?

It's a good turkey sandwich by itself.
They do not skimp on the meat.
Cheese was nice and melted.
Veg was fresh and crisp.
Solid sub.

Its tasty but I would be fine if I never ate this again in my life.

Very effective way of dealing with him
