While I prefer burger over dog generally, I think I’m one of the rare people who prefers Shake Shack dogs to their burgers.

Burgers are easier to mess up. They might be a bit underdone, burnt pucks, poorly seasoned, etc etc. OTOH, a hot dog probably won’t make you sick if it’s a bit underdone, comes pre-seasoned, and might actually taste a little better burnt.

Under 18 not allowed? Is it a strip mall?

Why don’t they just convert the driver seat into a porta-potty?

The guy in that picture is a perfect representation of why I can’t stand most pot smokers.

I totally misread this as saying the trucks would be programmed with a “sense of urgency.” In my head, the resulting AI would behave like a human driver told that if he didn’t make his cross-country delivery in 24 hours, he wouldn’t be getting paid.

Perhaps a better question than mine. I kind of assume that mall rent is cheap because nobody is shopping there anymore, but Subways show up everywhere, is there really that many people looking for a $5 footlong? Are $5 footlongs really profitable enough to support some of the high end locations? Do they lose money on…

My local mall recently got a pizza cone shop, which I will happily argue is the absolute culmination of humankind’s food engineering skill.

Because the whiny millionaire babies needed some excuse for bilking the public into building them a new stadium to lose in. In 10 years well be forced to fund ANOTHER new stadium because they’ll complain that its too cold without a roof! 

I’d like somebody to explain the economics of pretzel stands. I rarely attend the mall, but goddamn, every 5th store is a pretzel stand. I appreciate a pretzel as much as the next guy, but are they really selling that many pretzels that they need 87 fuckin’ Wetzels?

Wanted to chime in about the best ramen town being in a mall: in numerous cities, the best ethnic food is out in the suburbs, since that’s the only area where first- and second-generation immigrants can afford housing and/or commercial space. DC is a great example of that: the best Chinese is up in Silver Spring,…

Definitely the case for me. Döner kebab (particularly the European style, not shawarma) is still pretty rare in the US, but the mall near me has a shop that offers German-style döner that I unfailingly order every time I pop next door at Costco.

They also have decent American-Chinese for the price, a much better…

I like a brown chicken stock myself...it’s a little more work, but is better than white stock in every way and can sub for veal just fine.

There is one or 2 people that cook fish either in the microwave or the toaster oven every so often. My office is across the hall from this kitchen (we have 2 in our suite). I keep a small container of Vicks Vapor Rub that I use to put a little under my nose to stop the smell like my mom would do when I was a kid and…

Ketchup by itself is hot garbage.

Mayonnaise with Bay Seasoning.

Malt Vinegar.

I will leave that for personal interpretation—ala Kubrick did....

But without a rigor mortise we can’t insert the rigor tenon and create a nice wooden rigor joint. How are we going to build this rigor frame without it?

it was too dark. not tonally too dark, but physically what-are-colors and who-the-fuck-is-that too dark.
