The burger at Acadia was pretty damn hard to top. Fantastic, and much better than Au Cheval.

If you want to try Au Cheval’s burger, I suggest going to Small Cheval.  The burger is almost identical, and depending on when you go, there may be no line at all.  There are a couple of locations, I think Wicker Park and the Loop, maybe others.

I’m with you on Au Cheval. That burger was the single most overrated dining experience of my life. Yes, it’s good. It’s no better than you can get at a million other places, including chains like Shake Shack, Culver’s, and Steak ‘n’ Shake. It’s certainly not worth waiting 2 hours (or even 20 minutes) in line for. Go…

In all honesty, I always thought the dude looked a little like Robert Redford, but I never cared enough to look it up.  I always assumed it was from some Busch ad in the 80's or something.

Shocked that Potbelly’s Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies didn’t show up on here. Perfect crunch on the outside, almost a brownie-like texture in the middle, plenty of chocolate, and enough butter that it soaks out of the cookie and through the waxed paper holding it. Too big for one person to reasonably consume after a…

I remember that, but only because I bet on them to win at the beginning of the playoffs. 

For the potluck guy: “Do I have to go” is the theme song of adulthood. If your chief problem with these get-togethers is the food, then consider yourself lucky.  Could be way worse.

If I’m going to have 1-2 of something, I would want something more interesting than Guinness. If I’m going to have 8 of something, it stops being interesting after the first or second one anyway. So in that case, I choose Guinness.

If you’re going to refer to a matter of personal taste as “right” or “wrong,” or if you’re going to refer to a well-made, quality beer as “horrible” because it doesn’t have the flavors you personally like, then forgive me if I don’t take anything you say seriously.

“Intellectually lazy is not understanding that GMO doesn’t automatically mean Monsanto evil.”

Not just risking their kid dying, but risking their kid, a bunch of other kids, and every elderly or immuno-compromised person they come into contact with dying.

I’m pretty sure post-ingestion processing is OK. Otherwise, digestion itself would be problematic. Swallowing would fall under post-ingestion processing, so it’s probably fine according to several highly scientific Facebook groups.

High ABV stouts and barleywines are my favorites, and 12oz is perfect for those. I prefer having the ability to have one whenever I want, instead of being forced to wait for an occasion where I know I can check myself out for the rest of the night.

Well, there’s that. And there’s the fact that Buttigieg is indisputably smarter than Beto, and he served in the military while Beto got arrested for burglary. Also, Buttiegieg doesn’t use a Hispanic nickname to make comically transparent attempts at pandering.

Yeah, I mean, it’s not like one of the main characters in the movie spoke with a Jamaican accent and the music was rife with steel drum playing.  I don’t know where they’re getting “Caribbean” from.  It’s clearly Danish, through and through.

Intelligence doesn’t have anything to do with it.  You have to want to see through it.  If you’re not willing to engage in critical evaluation, it doesn’t really matter whether your IQ is 80 or 180.

The difference is that the Benghazi investigation wasn’t pointless. It had exactly its intended effect, which was to make people not trust Hillary Clinton (even more than they may have already distrusted her).

Buying beer in a green bottle is always a mistake.  Buying beer in a green bottle brewed on the other side of the world is an even bigger mistake.

Yuengling would justifiably sit at #1 on this list, and yet, it’s somehow still overrated.  IDK what it is about that beer that makes people think it’s the nectar of the gods.  It’s a pretty good lager competing against average to bad lagers.

Isn’t “they lack the power to do so” a legitimate excuse?  So they vote to impeach him, then the Republican-controlled Senate looks at all the evidence and says, “Nope, nothing wrong with all this!” And then everyone goes home without anything changing, except some voters getting pissed off that they wasted all this…
