Knish are often served with mustard, sometimes butter. I’ve definitely had them split and buttered, or with something stuffed up there. Easy way to turn a regular knish into a cheese knish is to split it open and throw some cheese in there. 

Before they were all replaced with Super Pretzels and similar commercial frozen trash the pretzels in New York were pretty decent. Pretty sure Giuliani is responsible for that one too.

That’s all likely available. I wouldn’t necessarily take Vice’s photo styling as indicative. Nor would I take Vice’s food writing as all that good. They sort of thrived of trolly trend pieces.

Most of the good places in NYC do a variation of “market style” service. Owing to early influence from Hill Country, which was…

Pizza snobs haven’t spent a disordinate amount of time deliberately leaving Black folks out of the story, pushing neo-confederate myths about about happy slaves, being weirdly pissed about Michael Witty not mentioning them enough, and so forth.

And peek at the marketing. BBQ stuff is all boomer dad shit about…

Since before Franklin Barbeque existed.

There aren’t even any visible spices or flavorings on those.

Yeah sure.

The article says it includes the building. 

Yeah that is remarkably cheap for a name business and with a building.

There’s a dive bar around here with a bunch of Pollocks. His house and workshop was nearby and he used to pay his bar tab with paintings. That made it a bit of a thing, and other artists would just drop paintings on them after a visit. Think there’s a Picasso sketch in there, something by Lichtenstein. But it’s mostly…

Right now our local lobster is about $12-15/lb.

Seriously. Even if everything else was fine (and it's not). If they weren't charging more for lobster there wouldn't be anyone catching lobster in another years time. 

Pretty much right up to COVID. And it was the result of the same supposedly inefficient approach. Canada and Maine coordinate closely and follow really similar models. Excellent fisheries management and a system based on coops and independent boats created a really healthy fishery and record catch levels for close to…

It’s also completely at odds with everything going on in the Maine and Canadian Lobster fisheries the last few years.

“used a spoon to press into the flesh of each half (another tip from our resident bartender”

I come from a big military family.

Two highly requested things when we were sending care packages to family over seas during the early Iraq war. Were that freeze dried camping food and cases of Chef Boyardee Beefaroni.

I’ve eaten a fair number of MREs, common enough for people in the military to give them to people…

Have we forgotten the 90's? Ports routinely required fan made patches and editing .ini files to even run.

A important thing to know is the military has actual restrictions on how long troops are supposedly to eat only MREs.

Why boil it first?

I mean boiling is sub optimal. But for 10 minutes? What kind of jank ass corn you got in the Midwest? Corn takes 5 minutes tops. Plus like I said above, no one boils it. Just steam it, which is what you’re doing in the nuker (which doesn’t require shucking anyway)
