The original Malnati’s in Lincolnwood was still quite good last I went (which, admittedly, was some 5(!!) years ago). I would be unsurprised to find more far flung locations to be lacking. The Pequod’s both in the city and the outpost in Morton Grove are still outstanding. The newly reconstituted Burt’s Place right…

They probably were ‘liemax’ theaters anyway. Good riddance.

also useable: thin bamboo skewers, which are longer than toothpicks and easier to get to the middle of a cake pan in a hot oven.

fugu as prepared by the assistant, when the master’s “skilled hands are busy”...

bad news, buddy... even Cadbury’s has switched from using only real cocoa fat to using other additives, EVEN in the UK and Canada. It’s still *better* than Hershey’s, but it’s not as good as it was 10-15 years ago.

> It comes in soooo many flavours though.

> For every American who was disappointed by Turkish delight, there is a Brit who can’t believe anyone in their right mind eats Hershey’s chocolate.

Imagine your grandmother’s, or possibly great grandmother’s, perfume. Now imagine that in gummy form, dusted with powdered sugar cut with 50% corn starch to keep it from sticking to everything.

then you want to give homemade containers of Magic Shell., the recipe I got from either right here or The Takeout (can’t remember which)

They also called the Caitlyn Jenner thing WAY WAY ahead of the curve. And then called attention to how far ahead of it they were when it got all official.

> Someone from the production had to have had a conversation with Johnston about it before firing him

If he was fired, I assume the folks from Bob’s Burgers might have zero ‘concrete, legally admissible’ evidence, but might know from actually KNOWING the guy, that he was there. Presumably, he’s always been a right-winger, but maybe he has gotten ever more obnoxious in the last 5-6 years. Maybe they’re just sick of his…

Co-starring Gina Carano.

Hey! This was filmed at The Last Bookstore in Los Angeles!! I recognize the book tunnels. A fabulous bookstore and worth the trip just to walk around the upper levels. Odds are you’ll find some decent used sci-fi up there, too...

She’s also intensely, INCREDIBLY funny. See her work in Peep Show, The Lobster, and The Favourite. Dark as hell, but literally laugh-out-loud hilarious.

Maybe. but maybe not. I remember when Matt LeBlanc made his ‘comeback’ on that HBO show playing a douchey showbiz version of himself, he made the late rounds, and everyone asked him “so what have you been doing since ‘Joey’?” “Honestly? Not much. It was really nice.”

No one deserves to be harassed at work.

If *I* was a 70+ movie star known largely (and as a result castable) in roles as an action hero, with not much in the way of acting chops that don’t relate to looking good firing a gun and quippy one liners, I’d do the same thing.
