The Food Thread

[M.O.T.H.]

Gross. I really cant stand it. I like peanuts, though.

It's just an easy tool to pack on pounds...that and whole milk, which I also hate, unless it's in some sugary cereal or there is some serious chocolate or strawberry syrup in there.

I've always been a big cereal eater. Nothing beats a late night bowl of cereal.

[Brent]

I usually go crunchy, like 90 percent of the time. Occasionally I just crave the creamy style, idk why. Then I have 1 serving and regret not getting crunchy.
I usually go natty PB when cutting but JIF extra crunchy is pretty much the ****.

[Rob S]

See, I actually prefer the natural stuff. I don't care for sweet things in general, unless it's cereal. They are nice every once in a while, but, for example, I much prefer buttery/creamy desserts to sweet ones. I find candies like nerds appalling haha.

[Brent]

I dont care for sugary foods either, so, clearly, you havent indulged in JIF extra crunchy.

[Rob S]

I dont care for sugary foods either, so, clearly, you havent indulged in JIF extra crunchy.

I will have to give it a try (I think I have only had skippy and the store brands), I love the natty stuff tho.

[M.O.T.H.]

Nerds are heavenly. I def. have a sweet tooth. I just get candy cravings that come out of nowhere. I knocked out a whole bag of blow pops in 2 work days last week.

[Brent]

I will have to give it a try (I think I have only had skippy and the store brands), I love the natty stuff tho.
I love natty PB but there is something awesome about having actual peanuts in the PB

[Rob S]

[The Unseen]

crunchy peanut butter is a waste

[Rob S]

Do they not have crunchy peanut butter where you live??

No, I have had plenty of crunchy PB. There are never full peanuts tho, only chopped pieces. I buy chunky natty PB as my staple. I will have give Jiffy a try once I realize I am never going to make weight in time and stop dieting

JIF has like halves of peanuts, I cannot guarantee a whole peanut in there.

[Rob S]

JIF has like halves of peanuts, I cannot guarantee a whole peanut in there.

Yeah, I was expecting halves. Peanuts always seem to break in half unless you get em right out of the shell. Still sounds tremendous.

[Brent]

Yeah, I was expecting halves. Peanuts always seem to break in half unless you get em right out of the shell. Still sounds tremendous.
even if it was like quarters or so, how could you not love that? in fact, I am going to have like 3 spoonfuls right now!

[Splat]

Now I'm going to have to eat some peanut butter thanks guys...

[vikes_28]

I hate crunchy peanut butter. It doesn't melt on your toast like creamy does.

[Brent]

I hate crunchy peanut butter. It doesn't melt on your toast like creamy does.
yeah it does, but it also has peanuts in it, too! epic win!

[bhaarat316]

Yeah natrual BP with chucks means like crushed up peanuts, its not the sames as big as chunks.

[terribletowel39]

I tried the peanut butter/honey combo and it was a plesant treat, I must say. I ended up having 6 spoonfuls after I said I was only going to try it.

I'm enjoying a couple of PBJs and a tall glass of whole right now. It's delicious.

I remember when I was 7 too.

Co-sign. I'm normally into super healthy cereals like kelloggs and cheerios, but I've been known to keep a combo bag of Golden Grahams mixed with Cinnamon Toast Crunch for late night banned discussion topic situations.

Pesto mayo is delicious.

[CJSchneider]

Just ate a homemade BBQ jalapeno and cheese burger with some zesty fries.

[bhaarat316]

Just ate a homemade BBQ jalapeno and cheese burger with some zesty fries.

Don't add salt to your burger till you are ready to from the paddy and throw it right on the grill. You'll get a better formed patty. If you add salt early it breaks down the protein, and makes the insides not stick together. I stumbled upon it recently. Its looked legit in the picture, try it out.

[tjsunstein]

Mayo is awful.

Mayo is awful.

Agreed.

I just had a Pop Tart.

Mustard is by far the best condiment.

Eww, Todd. Eww.

Corn relish, now there's a condiment.

You are a very wise man.

Corn relish >>>>> any other relish

[yourfavestoner]

I've come to the conclusion that I don't necessarily like food, I like condiments. Foods are just an added bonus I get to eat with so many delicious sauces.

[TACKLE]

I've come to the conclusion that a good creamy ranch is good on almost anything.

when I make burritos, it's barely any meat or beans, just a ******** of guac, pico, and a whole host of other stuff.

Mine are the opposite. I love loading them with beef and melted cheese. It just tastes so damn good.

The truth. Bantx speaks it.

Blue cheese will end your life.

[SuperMcgee]

This makes me miss the chicken patties from school lunches. They'd be on the menu about once every 4 days, you could have them with either bbq sauce or mayo, and either way it was the most delicious crap lunch ever.

[Go_Eagles77]

Blue cheese will end your life.
Yes. Oddly enough I'm the only person I know who loves it. Perfect complement for wings/salad/burgers/pizza. (Yes, pizza)

Also, ranch is disgusting. Blue cheese>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Ranch.

*I should also note that usually when I'm eating salad, I'm eating healthy so I don't put blue cheese on it, but on the few occasions I do, it's glorious.

[Sniper]

False. Extremely false.

Ranch and Bleu Cheese are both fantastic.

It really is so good. You can use it as a marinade it is so good.

I love tabasco, pretty much all the flavors. Nothing beats hitting up Denny's when plastered, ordering a grand slam and covering everything but your pancakes in tabasco.

Regular Tabasco has too much of a vinegar flavor for me. I will admit, though, that it's my favorite on eggs/breakfast foods. That's about the only thing I'll put it on.

[Brent]

fresh, artisan sourdough bread, toasted with a little butter is soooooo good.

[SuperMcgee]

I almost never drink hot tea, but if I do, it is green.

So I was recently at a pancake house, and a heavyset friend of mine was visibly upset when I ordered turkey bacon as a side, saying something along the lines of "You're not fat, man, and you're insane if you think you are!" (I'm very much not fat)

So my question - Is it wrong to prefer turkey bacon?

You need to be locked up in an insane asylum. Bacon should be pork. When I was in the Middle East for a little while, they served beef bacon and it paled in comparison. Turkey bacon is even worse.

[Chucky]

No...he is lying

[SuperMcgee]

Turkey bacon is great and is only improved when syrup seeps onto it. A top breakfast side. Pancakes, eggs, turkey bacon, and wheat toast usually do it for me and I see no problem with that!

[The Unseen]

my dorm area had a Paula Deen party to celebrate her influence of fattening foods on America. We had Flutternutters, deep fried oreos, cinnamon buns, and hot chocolate.

mmmmm

[draftguru151]

Fried twinkies>fried oreos.

[bhaarat316]

Fried twinkies>fried oreos.

Fried oreos are okay, but they get so soft and mush inside no crunch, I guess since they soak up all that oil. The batter doesn't do much to protect that from happening.

[Brent]

clearly, you two havent been to the Texas State Fair where deep-fried oreos were perfected.

[bhaarat316]

They also have deep fried Snickers bar.

[draftguru151]

They have everything deep fried there.

And I've had damn good deep fried oreos, but a deep fried twinkie is the most delicious thing I've ever eaten. The cream inside it basically melts and crystallizes into this sugary heaven.

[Paul]

The fact there aren't more deaths at the TX State Fair due to cardiac arrest shocks me.

[Brent]

The fact there aren't more deaths at the TX State Fair due to cardiac arrest shocks me.
the food is so processed that the deaths happen when they get home because of how hot their car is on the back.

on a sidenote, has anyone here cooked pork belly? the pork belly sandwich at cochon butcher in new orleans was about the best thing i've eaten in a long time, trying to replicate it now.

[Brent]

just ate a very late lunch with a close tejano friend of mine's family.

his grandma made, probably, the best beef fajitas I've ever had. that meat came apart like wet paper. amazing. I am suffering from full-on itis.

[CJSchneider]

Damn the "itis"!

[Brent]

Damn the "itis"!
The thing I love most about Texas is Mexicans; especially the illegal ones. They make the best food, they work all the time and don't do anything but work and drink beer. They are the nicest people (probably the Catholic guilt).

Around here, having Hispanic neighbors is the best. They're never loud and all they do on weekend is sit around and drink beer. I love 'em!

I have had pork belly slider sandwich from a trailer in Austin. It was their best selling item and much different tasting than I had ever expected from pork belly. Really sweet and tasteful if I remember correctly. I think it was part of the anthony bourdain austin episode too. Gourmet food from a trailer, good stuff.

If you didnt open your fridge while the power was out a lot of stuff should be alight. The cold should stay trapped for a while.

no freebirds around here but last time i was down in texas i got the chance to try and it and yes it was quite delicious but IMO not > chipotle. its a matter in preference of ingredients i guess. i will say freebirds has more options and i like the diversity you can get there in multiple trips but my best burrito and chipotle i think beats out my best burrito at freebirds.

different burgers. tough to compare. both are fantastic.

[njx9]

meh. five guys is, imo, terrible. if i'm going to spend that much, there are far better burgers.

[BuckNaked]

I need to try Five Guys. I hear that it's better than In n Out.

Five Guys is very very good and may be the best that there is to offer hear in New York. But nothing compares to when I've been to In n Out and gotten animal style burger and fries. Incredible.

[Bosanac01]

Currently contemplating what to have for dinner. I never been to five guys either.

Freebirds > Chipoltle

Bull-*******-****

[njx9]

can someone explain the chipotle thing to me? even qdoba is vastly better, and qdoba's generally awful.

[terribletowel39]

Because Chipotle is delicious. Great ingredients. Delicious steak. Wonderful shredded pork. Awesomely marinated chicken. Amazing hot salsa. Just wonderful.

Freebirds is close. It is always tough for me to decide which is better and I jump from one side to the other after I have had them. But Qdoba?? No way is that better than Chipotle.

[GB12]

What? I love QDoba. The Chicken Queso Burrito is so good.

[njx9]

meh.

illegal pete's (local) may have biased me, since it's so vastly superior to anything chipotle's ever done. but i guess i just don't get the appeal of their burritos.

to each their own.


What? I love QDoba. The Chicken Queso Burrito is so good.

i usually get their pesto one... the queso sort of scares me. but yeah, i'd still rather have qdoba than chipotle.

[SuperMcgee]

Chipotle is enjoyable, but I prefer my food to be in more of a platter form. The meals at El Canelo >

[bernbabybern820]

I like Shake Shack better than Five Guys. The Five Guys burgers are a little more greasy.

I need to try Five Guys. I hear that it's better than In n Out.

It depends what you're into. In-N-Out is very clean and simple tasting. Five Guys is a lot greasier but a lot of people prefer greasy plus the huge choice of toppings (bbq sauce, grilled mushrooms, grilled onions, steak sauce, jalapenos, etc.).

[mdmgrand]

Qdoba Ancho BBQ is the best... with pork.... and the hottest salsa... just amazing

[SickwithIt1010]

I like Qdoba too, but Chipotle is the way to go!!!

So my cousin invited me to this crazy restaurant for a pizza. Him and I ate two large pizza's by ourselves. It wasn't your regular pizza though.

There was Feta Cheese on the whole pizza, instead of the usual, and also light Parmesan cheese on top of everything. It had onions, green peppers, and mushrooms. It had 3 different types of meat, beef, chicken, and lamb (gyro meat). The sauce was regular, but it had shredded peppers over it, kinda like the taste of paprika, so it made it really hot.

It was just amazing.

Pizza with meatball, sausage, pepperoni, ham, and bacon on it is delicious.

[Rob S]

Making a massive batch of meatballs and gravy for tonight and tomorrow. What a delicious family tradition!

[Brent]

we're going to a tex-mex place because that's what you do when you're sick of ham and turkey.

[Chucky]

Just had a bloomin onion from Outback. **** is ******* epic

[thenewfeature06]

You can put me down for Chipotle, the hottest salsa is addicting which is a problem for alot of people haha. I can handle it but I like the shredded pork, steak and chicken as well as the shredded beef. They do it right and I go with the black beans too.

[DBNYDP]

Chicken/Pinto/Extra Hot/Rice

Egg white omelet with mushrooms and turkey with a side of green peppers and hummus. Yummmmmy.

you should have a free day and get Freebirds.

[eaglesalltheway]

Where I stand on Chipotle (common theme the last two pages).

I love Chipotle, though I've never had Freebirds or QDoba (never heard of QDoba). Most of my friends and I like Chipotle so much we stop there for food when we go to Philly instead of the Cheesesteak places. (We've got a place that makes better Cheeseteaks than any place in Philly, and I'd imagine Chipotle is marginally healthier at least). So in summation, yay for Chipotle!!!

[TACKLE]

Went to 5 Guys for the first time ever today. I got the bacon cheeseburger with the cajun fries. SO DAMN GOOD. I can't believe I waited this long to go there.

Gotta get double rice, and double tortilla for free!

5 Guys is good but I prefer Jakes there shakes are awesome. As for chipotle call me a hater but they are average. The meat is always cold and there are better places out there.

Say what!? ive never ever had cold meat.

[diabsoule]

I've been doing a lot of cooking lately. Nothing fancy but just putting some things together that sounds good. For instance: last night I made panko covered tilapia served with homemade tartar sauce and homemade cheesy scalloped potatoes. The other day I made homemade loaded mashed potatoes complete with cheddar cheese, finely chopped bacon (homemade bacon bits, if you will), sour cream, butter, salt, and pepper.

Today for lunch I again made panko covered tilapia but made some homemade wasabi tartar sauce. That **** turned out amazing.

[CJSchneider]

That sounds awesome. I made some tilapia last week. Nothing special, some lemon pepper and garlic salt. Then I had fresh, steamed broccoli and cauliflower. Nutritious and delicious.

[Brent]

I cant grill in this apartment, but per suggestion of APS, I cooked a Montreal steak in my oven last night. It was fantastic. Also, since I am iced in, I made my grandmother's chili recipe for lunch, which was also a fantastic idea.

[njx9]

new york strip and ribeyes also cook indoors really nicely.

anyone have a good beef stew recipe? i have one for beef bourguignon, but i can't remember if i have red wine, and it's cold enough that the drive to the liquor store on top of the drive to the grocery store is highly unappealing.

sounds good, I'll email her and just post it when I get it.

also, I shall embrace your oven steak suggestions. it was soooooooooo ******* easy to do.

[njx9]

for the strips and ribeyes, i have a big, thick cast iron pan, so i'll sear them and get a good crust (just salt and pepper) on the stove top (though you have to get the pan screaming hot), then throw it in the oven at like, 400+ to bake through. i don't usually broil because i find the sear on the pan bottom works better.

I have a small pyrex pan that I lined with foil and put on the middle rack. Left it in for a while at 420 and it turned out perfectly. I was very pleased and shall be eating more steak as a result.

I could not agree more. My wife and I both teach and I would bet 1/3 of what we cook during the week during the school year is from a crock pot.

[njx9]

it's so easy to just start something in the evening for dinner the next day. any kind of soup or braised meat is ridiculously easy. chiles... the list goes on.

george foreman ftw

[CJSchneider]

george foreman ftw

I refuse to cook on a foreman griller and so should any card carrying man. BBQ grill or bust.

[bsaza2358]

I live in a condo now and don't have access to a grill in the winter. Come spring/summer/most of fall, we have a rooftop deck with propane BBQ's. I look forward to getting up there with some steaks and chicken!

[yo123]

1 million times this.

im a big griller, but a foreman gets the job done quick and a grilled cheese never tasted so good.

[bsaza2358]

Tonight I'm having red meat for the first time in almost 3 weeks. Started the P90X, so I've been going the fish/chicken route for my protein. However, saw a nearly 2 lb angus ribeye steak at the market on sale and had to "rescue" it. Going to cook it Ruth's Chris style:

Putting a cast iron pan in the oven and heat to 500 degrees.
Coat the steak in canola oil and plenty of salt and pepper (using himalayan pink salt, which is money).
When the pan and oven are preheated, take the pan out and put it under a burner on high.
Put the steak down at 60 seconds on a side for the sear.
Move the pan to the oven and cook 2:45 per side with the oven still at 500 degrees.
Move the steak to a plate and cover with foil, rest for 2 mins.

Serving it with sauteed spinach and mashed sweet potatoes made with orange juice and orange zest (no butter).

Gonna be AWESOME!!!

[njx9]

you're missing the slab of melted butter on the steak, post-cooking

[TACKLE]

qft.

grilled chese on the foreman is out of this world. i don't know if i can ever go back to using a frying pan.

P90X diet. Limited fat and carbs at this phase. I think most of the diet will involve limited butter.

[ElectricEye]

Had Five Guys while being holed up in a train station parking lot during the storm. Best burger I have ever had. Might have had something to do with the circumstances of being starving and trapped in a parking lot for two hours.

Five guys is pretty good, their generousity with fries is awesome. Also love eating the free peanuts while you wait for your burgers. Being starved also does help a ton. I ate five guys after running a half marathon once, tasted good as hell but considering I only had a glass of OJ and a granola bar prior to the run the grease reallly started to kick in after I ate it. Down in D.C. five guys is definitely a top 5 or 6 burger.

i know nothing about this p90x thing.

[nepg]

Five Guys is amazing. I wish I didn't just make an oath to stop eating unhealthy food... Not that I could get to one now anyway what with being snowed in and all...

I also love Chipotle. We call those burritos "babies" (because they're about the size of one). I have no idea why you'd want double rice. The rice is just filler... The only reason you'd get an extra tort is if you just want a double-baby.

[bsaza2358]

It is an intense workout/diet regimen. 90 day home workout routine. First month is fat shred, so it's high protein, low low carb, extremely low fat. Second month, you eat more carbs, but still some protein. Third month, it's all energy and "good" carbs. I don't think there's much use of butter. They tend to push the olive oil and such ahead of butter.

[nepg]

I've got P90. I need to get back on it and graduate to P90X.

which is funny because butter is generally not all that bad. unless you use it in paula dean quantities. *shrug* whatever works, though, can't argue with success.


also, five guys is mediocre, at best. i've never understood the love.

[hobbes2053]

I get Five Guys maybe once a year even though there's one right by campus. Whenever that day comes, my friends and I are usually drunk and it is the bees' knees. That right, multiple bees.

I've got a giant bag of dried fruit and nut trail mix next to my desk that I made and it had might as well be candy because it's out of this world.

[bsaza2358]

While I can appreciate the use of butter, I tend to have some dairy issues. Rather than tempt fate, I'll stick with the existing implementation.

With Five Guys, you just can't get a decent cheap burger in a lot of places. Like in Kansas City, pretty much the only restaurants are corporate chains. Five Guys has the cheap, local place feel.

[bsaza2358]

I brought fresh strawberries as a snack today. They are damn good. I also love blueberries.

but five guys isn't even cheap, it's like $10 for a burger and fries!

[thefalconer]

but five guys isn't even cheap, it's like $10 for a burger and fries!

this. it's not worth it. many many better burger places out there.

unless he was talking about the way the burger just comes wrapped in foil paper and the fries are all over the bag giving it the "cheap" feel.

[bsaza2358]

Yeah, I'm coating the steaks in canola before I cook them. Prevents sticking, increases the cook temperature, and doesn't overwhelm with flavor. Plus, olive oil burns at around that temperature. Looking to get the finish without burning.

[hobbes2053]

Had some trail mix given to me that had chocolate and white chocolate chips in it and white chocolate-covered raisins. It was amazing.

While I do enjoy the mixes with the chocolate chunks, this batch is strcitly fruit and nuts. Mostly tropical fruits too (e.g., papaya, kiwi, pineapple, banana chips) with some apricots, strawberries, cherries and other goodies tossed in. Chronic.

[bsaza2358]

That sounds like a great snack. In moderation, it is very healthy, but destroying a 3 lb bag is about as healthy as eating fast food. haha. I should make some trail mix for myself...

[ElectricEye]

Five Guys is not cheap. 10 bucks for a burger and fries just doesn't cut it when I can go to McDonald's and feed myself for days in the same amount. It probably isn't worth the price you pay for it contrary to the perception, but it's still good stuff if you don't mind overpaying every once in awhile(IE: Starving in a snow storm and across the street). You do get better, more quality tasting ingredients for what you pay for and the peanuts are a plus.

Grilled cheese is different. I'm talking burgers and steaks.

I disagree with that. George Foreman Cheeseburgers on wheat bread toasted with the George Foreman helped me gain 15 pounds of muscle last year in delicious fashion.

if you are doing low carb, I would suggest unsalted peanuts as a moderated snack food. unless of course you dont like peanuts.

Can't really compare a Mcdonalds burger to a five guys burger, btw if anyone's ever in the D.C. area have to stop by Ray's Hell Burger in Arlington, best burgers I've ever had. Problem is though that on almost any day you have to get there right when they open at 11 or you will have to wait in a massive line. During the normal lunch rush they close the door every 10 minutes to avoid violating fire codes and open the doors after enough people leave. They have about 10 tables and people are hounding you down to finish and go. If you are claustrophobic not the place to be. Worst of all is Obama will drop in every once in a while especially when there is a foreign dignitary visiting D.C. Then it is hopeless waiting.
