The other concern I have is it appears they’re not toasting their buns. That greatly adds to the amount of jus (or any other liquid/sauce) a sandwich can hold.

I go to Chik-fil-a a lot.  I know many, many people who also go to Chick-fil-a a lot. None of us give nary a shit about their politics.  It’s all about the delicious chicken, and drowning waffle fries in a myriad of sauces.

Great, now its time to update this bookmark to thetakout.com/latest

LOL, awesome! I just commented without even watching, but he’s totally right! Peasant cooking evolved in relative isolation and with available ingredients varying wildly from region to region.

I met Alex in 1990 in Anchorage. He and his new bride were honeymooning, but he stopped at the Alaska Zoo to see a musk ox that he had “adopted” after a question on the show made him curious. I was there as a cub reporter for the Anchorage Times (moment of silence, please).

I don’t have anything to add to this comment I just like it a lot. 

I don’t want to be overly dramatic here but leaving Dennis Farina out the Oscar In Memoriam is a crime and someone should have went to jail over it.  

But the actual chicken is good.

I teach at a very prosperous New England girls’ boarding high school. I work with many wonderful, talented, dedicated colleagues in the faculty, administration, and staff. The food service is, without question, the best run division of the school. Terrible weather, coronavirus, late nights, early morning, schedule…

Until last weekend, I worked at a local fast food joint and we offered a similar chicken sandwich which was our only use of pickles. The last couple weeks I’ve seen some just absolutely enormous pickle slices, like over 2" in diameter. I saw a couple that were almost the size of our tomato slices.

I tend to get mine wet / sweet and hot when I visit, but I’d absolutely get garlic bread if it were an option.  And yes, sometimes with cheese just to change it up.

Garlic bread is a good hack for just about any savory sandwich. Butter and garlic go with everything.

You’re missing red sauce as an additional option.

Just saw this on Cooks Country or ATK.   They said slices instead of cubes.

You brought them into the US? But you didn’t declare them, right? Right?

Roots has pretty good pizza, but the best thing on the menu is the “mozzarella sticks you’ll be telling strangers about,” which I am doing now, strangers.

I feel you. I have the stevia problem, although if it’s mixed with erythritol, I can tolerate it. Also with the supertaster. Brussel sprouts taste like chewing on rubber bands. Vanilla Lik-em-Stiks gets rid of the aftertaste, btw. Coffee and teas are no goes without sweeteners. My preferred is aspartame, and Splenda…

The eighties is when I became familiar with Piper and I have one of those other author’s Fuzzy paperbacks somewhere. Probably published by Ace or Ballantine maybe? I’m pretty sure Piper’s been out of print for decades so I think the obscure label applies but I think you know that! He was obviously an influence on…
