I googled it, it was rice flour and potato starch. 

Lawson’s Chip Dip (french onion dip) - it is the only remaining link to the original convenience store chain and dairy.

I remember Burger King doing that for their fries, when they were calling them “extra crispy” or something.  the batter you speak of was just a thin wash of a different starch, I think. 

what a shitty, ignorant comment. I’m not talking about “they wouldn’t go to McPuke’s or the BK Lounge,” I mean they wouldn’t go places like Slow’s BBQ, or a decent steak house, or anything like that*. or even the tons of Indian or Mediterranean places. Just totally uninterested/unwilling to step outside their bubble.…

The one thing I would most love to learn how to make at home, though, is McDonald’s French fries. I am deeply addicted to them, and it would make me very happy to get them crisp and hot in my own kitchen.

I’ve worked for a few Japanese companies. in my experience, in general they are the least adventurous, culinarily speaking.  when we’d have teams visit from Japan, most of the time they’d just go to one of the several Japanese restaurants in the area.  

I remember we had some sort of soft-serve ice cream in a squeezable pouch when I was a kid.  

spatchcock & dry brining.  flavorful and easier to keep any of it from over-cooking when spatchcocked.

for a second I thought that was some sort of “healing crystal” bread or something.

I’ve felt that way about pretty much any food trend or fad I’ve ended up trying.  almost always “ok, it’s good, I guess, but...” 

the first time I went there I was amazed at the ubiquity of 7-Eleven stores.  And it was the first time in decades I’d seen a Lawson’s,  there was like one of those in my area in the ‘80s but that was the only one I’d ever seen in the States. 

“molasses-infused beet juice” is not a string of words I would ever have expected to encounter. 

or like when Alton Brown did a short video making dalgona coffee, it made an ungodly mess.

please don’t turn it into an action flick like the recent films. 

when I was 4 or 5. my dad was grilling something on the Weber kettle. I walked over and because I wanted to watch what he was cooking, I went to stand on the lid of the grill which was on the ground.

well, now that the olds are on it, TikTok is done.

I’m just trying to wrap my head around making something less bitter by adding grapefruit.
