Thanks for the insight, Jessica!  I’m always more willing to get pizza from our local places than the mass produced things.  If I’m going all in with the calories, I want it to be made with love.  Thanks for doing all that you do, and don’t listen to the trolls in the comments (More than usual for a Takeout article!),…

I’m a millennial and I have always gotten a full lunch break, but then I’m a public servant, so I kind of have to get one. I would not work for a company that had a problem with me taking an hour for lunch to do as I please. Breaks are important for actually doing your job!

LOVE doing this, though I tend to tear my marshmallow into two for the size difference.

My sister and I always got the sour gummy worms for long trips! We usually did a cooler of water, some peanut butter sandwiches, and some small bags of chips for long trips north to visit relatives. We would of course stop for our gummy worms and Fruitopia back in the day though, and when we finally crossed the…

The ADA actually does measure clearances and door weights, and all of that is described in the codes. If someone isn’t complying, that would be really nice for people to know before they go.

My friend uses a wheelchair, and having gone places with her, the actual dimensions aren’t always the issue. Sure, your door is wide enough, but is it a heavy door that doesn’t have an opener? Is there a small step up when you enter? One restaurant we went into had an airlock that barely fit her wheelchair in it while…

The FDA wants them tested for chemicals if you’re going to use them in a food application? Um. Is that more sensitive than the way they’re meant to be used? Have they not tested them for chemicals in the first place?

I visited Denver last year and discovered the JOY of chile verde, but haven’t tried my hand at it yet. Thanks for giving me a weekend project!

I was headed to a corporate conference in Cleveland (say that three times fast, haha) with three coworkers and we were traveling through Ohio. One of my coworkers knew the area, and said, “We’re coming up on the Cheesebarn!” and we had no idea what she was talking about. It was Grandpa’s Cheesebarn in Ashland, Ohio.…

RIP to the poor employees who have to work quickly enough to make three small blizzards before the first one starts to melt.

Don’t listen to the sour jerks in the comments, David. The rest of us are always ready to read about your adventures, both in the garage and on the road. Can’t wait to follow the last of Project POStal and all the things you do after that!

You’re on your way! Give us a beep in Springfield as you head through toward KC!

I know what you mean about that paternal feeling. When the Taurus was redesigned, I felt kind of proud that my meh 2002 Taurus had grown up into a proper adult sedan. I’ve got a 2008 Fit Sport, and I would drive it forever, if the rear floorboards didn’t fill up with water after a rain. Once it dries out, I might be…

I mean, if anyone can do it, it’s you. Just take a photo every now and then and show us how it’s done. We’re rooting for you!

Yeah, I learned about respirators the hard way last year. Nothing a little bit of chemical pneumonia to make you take things more seriously.

I feel like I have more memories about the culture of the fast food places than the food itself. Like, Taco Bell was where we degenerate teenagers could hang out and talk as long as we bought food and a drink. Dairy Queen was where EVERYONE ended up on a Friday night, either eating a sundae at a picnic table out front,…

I worked in a grocery store for a couple of years, and they had the same internet radio station on. It was just inane and unoffensive 50's-70's pop, but the problem was that it was on an exact 24 hour loop, so the songs played at the exact same time each day. So if you worked the same shift, as I often did, you didn’t…

I just rewatched this! The magical realism of the movie just hooks me, and though Depp is a problematic figure now, (maybe he always was), but it lets me remember when he was just a handsome scoundrel that young me was a little obsessed with.

Recently, one of my favorite podcasts mentioned a video from a popular chicken chain, and encouraged everyone to go watch it because it only had a few views.  I want to see the face of the social media person for that chain as the video exploded overnight, wondering what happened.  I wonder if this could have been…

Should we start writing Richard Hammond’s crash report now?
