FOOD THREAD VOL. GRUB LIFE

I like lettuce on some things but not hot subs or hot sandwiches. But I can do lettuce on burgers and also don't mind slaw if available. We can all agree this is going too far though ...

What’s wrong with a lettuce bun? You can’t even tel the difference between that and a regular bun tbh.

burger the other day

Yea there is no way you are being serious.

Sometimes when I go to five guys I get the lettuce bun and you really can’t tell the difference. Then I spray my fries down with ketchup and enjoy them too.

Question to the Beef Boys.

After "Ribeye Steaks" talk from last week, I want wondering about the concept of freezing steaks.

I don't know the science off-hand but it just seems like that ISN'T the thing to do.

I could understand meat that you are stewing, but for a cut of steak that you are preparing like a Ribeye, isn't freezing a bad idea?

I come in peace.

not a beef boy pause but my thoughts are it’s not ideal

if you flash freeze, package it well, and don’t leave it frozen too long you can get decent results, but they’ll be dryer on average

I froze a flank steak a few weeks ago after making carne asada. interested to see the results from frozen

Successful trip out to Montauk/The Hamptons yesterday.

2 of each at Levain:

Was initially planning on buying pizza at Best Pizza, but they decided to close up shop for a week after I made the hotel reservation, so we ended up going to a spot close to our hotel called Cittanuova.

Fried calamari/zucchini sticks:

Meatballs:

Diavola (hot soppressata, san marzano tomatoes, oregano, grana padano, mozzarella cheese), and Fughi (wild mushrooms, taleggio cheese, fontina cheese, white truffle oil, parsley) pies:

So would you say the Leviathan cookies are worth the $4 each?

No disrespect.

I knew this was gonna come up Forgot. Hungry.

Broccoli, Kale, Celery, Carrots, & White Radish cooked with Chicken Broth. Rice, Eggs & Sausage.

No disrespect.

Depends on your sweet tooth. I’m not a big sweet-eater in general, but my girlfriend is. She would say absolutely, I’d say yes but YMMV.

Ultimately I think they’re worth trying at least once.

 

[tay1]

$4 for those big *** cookies aren’t a bad price

 

[DCAllAfrican]

**** that place, reason why it's called Five Guys cuz only five of them like it. Overrated.

I remember McDonald's in Vegas in the 90's sold pizza. This was at the Circus Circus. I remember always going there with my sis. Lasted a few years.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Now I want cookies from insomnia cookies. If they were open best believe I’d be walking there rn.

sugar cookies from Insomnia please and thank you

you need my address ?

Insomnia cookies

12 cookies for $15 at Insomnia Cookies https://slickdeals.net/f/14850427-12-cookies-for-15-at-insomnia-cookies?src=catpagev2

 

[jrp44]

Grilling up some pizza tonight

 

[walkingBred]

Great, now I need cookies. Hate this thread. Are Insomnia Cookies really good? There's a few in my area. Never tried them but reviews don't look too promising. Debating on trying them or going somewhere else.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t tempted.

Can anyone recommend a decent overall chefs knife/knife to cut meat and veggies and stuff? I'm tired of buying cheap *** knives that get dull after like 2 months.

my girl bought me a set of J.A. Henckels from Costco and they're pretty legit. nicest set i've ever owned and not crazy expensive. she was sick of using my Fabreware and Ikea knives

This is my current chef’s knife:

Pricey, but worth every penny IMO.

 

[heelsandeers]

I have a Tojiro chefs knife and vegetable cleaver. I think they were around $70 each

they’re pretty good. I’ve only sharpened them a couple of times in the 3-4 years I’ve had them

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Still using my Cutco knives from damn near 20 years ago.

I will upgrade eventually.

Once I become a master fisherman like mplsdunk , I will invest in a CHef's knife.

 

[SC kid]

I have a shuns classic chef knife

Nice weight.
Good grip
Super sharp

 

[rhinosport]

Cutcos here. No complaints.
