The Fogo in Chicago used to be fantastic. I’ve been to many Brazilian steakhouses, and this one was by FAR the best. The meat was always perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked, and the moment any of your side dishes started to get cold, they were immediately replaced by a fresh one. This was 15 years ago though. It…

“A banal tweet, a clichéd comment, but I couldn’t shake it. Every time I started walking up an escalator, I was filled with dread, like a hypnotist had planted a trigger in me. Walking up escalators feels bad.”

Yeah, because the first thing I think when I crack open a Pepsi is “wow, I wish they could get rid of these bitter and acidic flavors so this would taste sweeter.”

I appreciate that the leading photo on the Hater’s Guide is Bruce Pearl, the slimy orange weasel who told lies to get a college program investigated because he was pissy about losing a recruit and then went on to commit multiple ethical infractions himself.  I’m sure he’s going to leave Auburn in a few years after…

I don’t see any reason to criticize her unless she starts conforming her message to what Fox News wants. If she wants to take Fox’s money and go on the air to talk about progressive messages while the panel of talking heads shouts her down, in the hopes of possibly reaching the half-dozen Fox news viewers who might…

I mean, technically you can be a white nationalist without being a white supremacist, if you believe nations work better with a racially homogeneous society but believe all races are inherently equal. And technically, you can be a white supremacist without being a white nationalist. I don’t know if the Venn diagram…

Welp, let’s look at Kavanaugh’s record so far. He has had 1 unanimous decision, sided with the liberal justices 3 times, and sided with the conservative justices 2 times.

I am highly skeptical that drinking even 1 soda per week would have any effect at all on health. I don’t know how they controlled the study, and I don’t really even know how you could, because you can’t force thousands of people to eat the exact same thing for years at a time.  My guess is that people who drank sugary…

I’ll second this. I mean, they’re fried cheese, they can only be so bad. But I never order them. The burgers with butter (and bacon and cheese) are fatty enough as it is, you don’t need to add more fat.

“I was amazed the bare combination of onions, chicken broth, and time could produce a bistro-quality dish I’ve longed wanted to make at home.”

I mean, it depends. I like Guinness, and Bud is OK. I also like McDonald’s. None of them are remotely the best thing out there, but they have their place. 

If you’re comparing Guinness to a bottle or can of lager, then I could maybe see that, although it’s not the case for me. But lager on draft is less carbonated and goes down like water on the first one.

They should put that on the label!

Double down: Guinness is the best beer for day drinking, period. It combines relatively low alcohol content with a sufficiently bitter flavor so it never starts to taste like sugar water, which does limit your consumption somewhat. Obviously, once you have had a few, they go down a little easier, but not as easy as…

Maybe Colin Kaepernick should try not sucking. Seriously, I have all the sympathy in the world for him, but he wasn’t very good. He’s certainly better than the worst QB in the league, but he’s not going to make your team good. Why should someone pay a guy millions of dollars to turn their 5-11 team into a 6-10 team…

I had too much frosting once. I tried eating frosting straight out of a jar. After about the 5th bite, it was too much frosting.

BTW, you’re underestimating the amount of protein peanut butter has.  Potbelly’s PB&J sandwich has 33g of protein.  That’s plenty for lunch.  It’s pretty high fat though.

Yeah, but plenty of people eat plenty of unhealthy stuff, it doesn’t make them children. PB&J is less unhealthy than a lot of it. Also, how much sugar and how little protein it has depends a lot on how much peanut butter and jelly you use. Lots of PB and not lots of jelly means lower sugar and plenty of protein.

This is absurd and just wrong.  Why would you not eat something that is delicious?

Counterpoint: Yes it does so.
