I don’t even expect to see fettuccine alfredo on the menu of most Italian restaurants. It’s not particularly common in that context here.

That sounds like a shitty book full of the sort of “advice” and tricks entitled people come up with to supposedly ensure they get better treatment than everyone else.

I would not say that either thing is true.

To a certain extent brunch, prix fix menus, and restaurant week are all situations where simpler, higher…

Probably more that it doesn’t sell so there isn’t a point to putting it in the main menu.

There wasn’t anything I particularly hated waaaaay back when I was still a cook.

A lot of pros hate doing breakfast foods. A lot of them are finicky, or just kind of stock. Cooking 200 eggs in a row gets old (as does making gallons of mimosas). The crowds for a brunch shift can be heinous and demanding. And working that shift usually means a double after getting off late on a Friday. It’s a boring…

That depends. Something like pizza if you have the ingredients, or close subs, and they’re prepped. It’s literally no extra work, disruption, or difference. And even places that focus on specialty pies almost always do custom pies anyway.

What self respecting American Patriot uses salt?

He just might genuinely like all tacos and not care. As some one who isn’t a a picky eater, plenty of times I just order a bunch different shit and eat whatever. Especially if it’s something I’m into.

Because the consoles don’t appear to require you to use their payment processing for in app purchases or block purchases made through other platforms.

Nissin Raoh Tonkotsu for Japanese Ramen.

That’d be the one thing with making that one besides dumping it all in. You're supposed to drain the noodles before adding the packets. BUT plenty of people seem to like making it as a soup too. 

Because a bunch of small independent companies with 80% of their business gone don’t have the time and money to fight out a civil lawsuit against a huge company that’s well funded enough to literally burn cash. Most restaurants also don’t have a formally registered trade mark, though their still entitled to…

Stew Leonard’s is about as pretentious as a Cracker Barrel, and emulates a farm stand about as much as one. Like straight up down to the crazy crap on the walls.

I think it’s off base to lump Stew Leonard’s in as well.

People keep repeating that. Epic’s claim seems to revolve around Apple requiring the use of it’s payment processing through the ap store, including for in app purchase, lock out of purchases made on other platforms, and application of the 30% fee to the same. Combined with the inability to post your own store front,…

Afaik Riot is obliged by law to defend their IP or risk losing it.

Steam, meanwhile, has held more or less firm on its 30% take, with the cut lessening the more money a game makes, a system that makes more money for larger, richer publishers, while penalizing smaller indies.

Chicken manure isn’t “toxic”.

Maher is a long time “vaccines cause autism” type, he spent a lot of time doing the “just asking questions” dance around HIV/AIDS denial as well. 

I think the references to alternatives means sustainable and grass fed beef and other meats. Which *are* a hell of a lot more expensive. And tend to have really limited availability outside of wealthier, whiter areas.
