Jesus, I can feel the smarm from your post despite the fact that no one calls them “chicken wings.”

I thought the TJ noodles, or at least the sauce, were pretty bad. After the first one, I ditched the sauces and just used the noodles. The Momofuku ones are pretty good, except ironically the Korean sweet and spicy one, but nothing outstanding 

Saying you can buy 10 cheap fire pits for the price of a solo stove is like saying why buy a ribeye when you can get 10 lbs of ground beef for the same price.

My 11 yr old is an huge Taki fan but asserts that Trader Joe’s “Takis” are much better than real Takis.

It’s one hell of a leap to go from a pretzel bite that almost cracked a tooth and a latte that had an acrid chemical aftertaste equal “mostly well executed, and it’s inventive within its format, but at its very best, CosMc’s could be described as fast food firing on all cylinders.” But then again I sure as hell…

Hard pass. Coconut flavoring sucks and shredded coconut is even worse.

For me, less hate and more why? Often over cooked or even if cooked properly just doesn’t have the best texture. There is nothing angel hair does that other shapes (linguine, spaghetti) dont do better.

Big fan of the various silken tofu dishes like Mapo tofu, kimchi jijgae/soondubu jjigae, etc. but just can’t get down with firm tofu. Tried it in any number of ways and just don’t love the texture and taste.

It’s pretty said that I can’t tell if that is a joke or not.

It’s not the higher price that’s the issue but the lack of disclosure/false advertising. I’m pretty sure Instacart is upfront that the prices may be higher than in the store.

The only “benefit” of any of these restaurants/shops is that they are post security so you don’t have to worry about lines at TSA and can linger longer than if you had to deal with security again. I’ve been to a few airports where the restaurants are all pre-security and it’s a nightmare, especially when flights are…

The shape has nothing to do with it. I’ve had ones that look like the picture above and others that look like normal donuts. The texture is what sets them apart. Chewy but in a good way. Not tense or tough but not the soft bite or cake texture you get when eating a regular donut. I’m a fan.

To me, coming from a NY/NY perspective, a calzone is folded into a half moon shape, has ricotta and no sauce on the inside. Some Neapolitan places do give a light coating of sauce on the outside pre-bake.

The number of toppings (fillings) does not make a calzone, it’s the use of ricotta cheese that differentiates it. I would argue that most common calzones have at most 1-2 non-cheese fillings.

Except not every steak feels the same when cooked. No way does a medium rare filet feel the same as a medium rare strip or skirt steak

Agreed. The question is why isn’t the Sausage McMuffin with egg the standard when it’s 1000x better. 

Will it have as much orange sauce as it does tomato sauce? Because if the sauce doesn’t reach lava-like temps and scald your mouth on the first bite are you really eating a pizza roll?

To this day I’ll never understand why these places don’t “build” the burrito in a bowl before putting in the tortilla.

Should stuck with IHOP’s OG Pancake Taco - pigs in a blanket.

It is very strange. Either way I’d prefer a straight Taylor ham, egg and cheese on an everything bagel
