FOOD THREAD VOL. GRUB LIFE

[spizike231]

I’m terrible at my water intake

But such is life

 

[DeadsetAce]

i shoot for 2-3 liters a day but am not consistent enough with that

 

[lawdog1]

This is nothing better than cold water when you’re truly, mouth-and-throat-dry thirsty.

Only been to Cava once but I got a harissa chicken bowl that I doctored up to my liking.

Good as he’ll. Would put it in regular rotation if there was one closer to me.

Cava: To me, easily my favorite Fast Casual spot of all time. Never gets old.

I had to do the conversion on this because I have never counted or looked at the bottles but damn…I guess you can’t have too much thought. I sweat a lot too when working out so it’s needed anyway.

Is sweetgreen a Poor Man’s Cava or are they #SameTier ?

 

[jape]

it replaced zoe’s kitchen where i’m at

 

[fluid hips]

Not drinking water for two years. Definitely not an athlete

 

[fluid hips]

Wish we had southern fast food up here like raising cane's, zaxbys etc

The conventional wisdom on water intake has changed a bit in recent years, based on things I’ve read. Some medical professionals/dieticians have backed off recommending specific volume amounts. The gist I got from what I’ve read is that if you don’t feel thirsty most of the time, you’re probably drinking enough.

And technically I think it is medically possible to overhydrate, but it requires consuming an insane amount of liquid.

At a super basic level.

Sweet Greens is a "Salad Spot."

Cava/Mezze are "Bowl and Pita" Spots.

You just pulled a Windy and avoided picking one over the other. Respect.

I like them both but I saw the Qdoba vs Chipotle back and forth earlier so I was curious

I"ve never even been to Sweet Greens. No interest.

Is it because you don’t really like salads? Or is too “Whole-Foods”-y for you?

I eat salads. I just feel like a sucka paying for overpriced salads.

So I refuse to put myself in that situation.

 

[fluid hips]

Only time I eat lettuce is in a sandwich or wrap

Not a salad person and I'm fit

 

[picasso swerve]

Fresh & Co has this one salad that I rock with heavy, its pricey but puts a smile on my face everytime I get it.

 

[spizike231]

I enjoy more salads these days

A good salad when you’re craving something light, is delicious.

I think that’s the thing I’ve ordered the couple times I’ve been. It’s good, but pricey for Mediterranean Chipotle.

Wifey ordered the lamb meatballs and they were frozen in the middle

Cava is ***

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

You would think that the bar would water down the drinks as the person got further along and more visibly intoxicated to avoid this scenario.

For real. Bartender(s) should have said no or gave him virgin drinks after maybe the 4th or 5th

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

I would probably do
Pancake
Waffle
French Toasts

Challah French toast
Pancakes
French roast



Waffles are trash

This is nothing better than cold water when you’re truly, mouth-and-throat-dry thirsty.

During the month of Ramadan when us Muslims fast & it's the time of day for us to break the fast NOTHING on Earth can replicate the feeling you get or taste better than cold water entering your body after hours of fasting. The sensation of relieving the thirst & feeling the replenishment of your mind & senses is absolutely heavenly. As the cold water makes it's way down the throat I instantly feel myself coming back alive again. No food, no flavors, nothing edible can replicate that.
