“Kosher pork chop?”

Almost everyone who lives in a city does, but I also like Taco Bell. Snobbery gets you no points in my book!

Like listen, anonymous commenter, Minneapolis/ St Paul is a test market for a reason, and that reason is because it’s actually VERY diverse. The MSP metro has a massive population of Somali, Vietnamese Hmong, Laotian, Korean and Indian folks (and is the largest concentration of Hmong clans in the US) , a large African…

Aspartame was developed in 1965 by James M. Schlatter, a chemist working for Searle. He was trying to make a peptide for a drug candidate and accidentally touched one of the intermediate substances, atfer which he licked his finger to turn a page.

Except I don’t think that works with truffles, as far as I am aware I don’t think truffles are or can be commercially grown.

Knows how much a truffle costs.  Imagines the price of a truffle sweetener.  Wonders how this becomes commercially viable. 

There is also more than one ‘American Barbecue’ flavor. But, most people understand that if you generically say BBQ flavor whatever, it’s going to be a kind of tomato-base with a little sweet, a little heat, and a linger of smoke.  That doesn't negate the existence of other types of American BBQ, like the mustard…

I’m glad Kristen was chosen as the replacement but the entertainment value of every new season of TC is always primarily based on how good the chefs are. The location is the least important part of it and often detracts from the season as there are all sorts of dumb challenges based on the city.

Kristen seemed like the obvious choice. I think she will do well. How many challenges in the season will feature some sort of combination of cheese curds, bratwurst or beer?

Article is attributed simply to “The Takeout”. Does this mean it’s a combined staff piece or bot?

that is true, there’s ONE case on record of someone giving out edibles on halloween and much has been made of it (and, I should point out as I’m sure the OP knows by their reference, zero cases of someone posioning Halloween candy to give out, the cases on record are all parents that poisoned their **own** children…

Then maybe find a way to secure or monitor your drugs 24/7.  Seems pretty simple to me, but I just have a 25 year weed habit and 5 kids so I could be wrong.

This seems like it crosses a little with the fears during Halloween, while the candy may look brightly colored and such, it also has a hefty price making it more likely you will protect your stash from kids/not mix them up. 

This is such a non-issue.

I am getting really, really tired of non-vegetarians bagging on plant-based meat substitutes. SOMETIMES YOU WANT A BURGER LIKE YOU REMEMBER. It’s not that complicated, for crying out loud.

Well, how many talented, creative chefs use ground beef at all?

My biggest problem with the products is their price at the store. If they stay at a luxury level of expense compared to even the monopoly-driven price of chicken, then they aren’t going to take off as an everyday product.

I have found Costco employees to be the most helpful and seemingly happiest retail employees I have ever met. Were you perhaps wearing your red hat that day?

Don’t remember ever seeing a chili dog with beans.

Chicago dogs involve 0% chili, and every chili dog I’ve ever seen never had beans in it. But now I want Portillo’s, thanks a lot 😅 (I advocate for potato chips or Doritos on almost any sandwich [although hot dogs, by definition, are not] much to the horrified looks of those around me. Weirdos)
