The best barbecue dish is barbecue.

One other thing to consider is the cost of getting to the things you plan to do. Gas, parking, Lyfts, taxis, etc. can add up quickly, which narrows the price gap between the cheaper apartment further away and the pricier apartment right where you plan to spend a lot of time. 

Do you have a beer cooler, some Ziploc bags, and a decently accurate thermometer? Congratulations. You have a sous vide machine.

They could also make a lot more money if they stopped making the shakes by hand. Or opened a separate drive-through line for milkshakes. Or only allowed you to order milkshakes inside. Or became Cookout.

I wouldn’t be surprised if parenting is a big contributor, too. Too many kids were told that anything other than perfection and sky-high achievement was unacceptable. That’s a recipe for giving anyone anxiety and depression.

Also about the time you realize all your rowdy friends have settled down.

If you’d posted this yesterday, I would have been fully ready to defend Coors’ superiority. But last night, I discovered the BevMo across from my office (in California!) sells Shiner, which means all other cheap beers are now dead to me.

It’s almost like airport security is mostly theater.

I absolutely would, but my wife starting law school means we’re downsizing from a 600 square-foot 1BR to a 500 square-foot studio. Space is going to be very limited for a while.

So you’re saying I should buy a smoker, a massive amount of pork belly, and enough salt to cure it all? Because that’s what I’m hearing.

FWIW, I would have preferred more profanity.

I get it, dude. Booze and fried chicken probably made up 90% of my diet my junior year of college. It’s a magical combo.

No one can be that terrible to someone else without already being a hateful, toxic person themselves. It also says a lot about a person if they enjoy watching people be abused for their own entertainment.

The fact that chefs think there’s enough of a reward for winning the show to make the abuse worth it doesn’t change the fact that it’s verbal abuse.

Which just means he’s willing to abuse people for money, and he doesn’t care how many people use his “act” to justify abusing their employees, too.
