The big story this week in the STL was that a Shake Shack is opening here. Owner is a St.Louis native. It's going into the neighborhood known as the Central West End. I probably won't ever eat there. I can get great burgers, hand dipped shakes and frozen custard concretes a lot nearer my home and with better parking.

You're not missing out, that place was way over-hyped.

Central West End is a shitty place for it. I hate trying to park there.
Yeah - I would have liked it in Kirkwood maybe. Of course that would probably not be far enough from the 5 Guys in Sunset Hills...hmm; fucking CWE.
Steady and I went to the SRV tribute concert at the Pageant on the Fri after Thanksgiving - there was a parking garage that was a short walk from the venue and only 4 dollars - well worth it - we hit it just right time-wise and got a great spot. Normally it is a shitfest to park, I so agree with you, and ffs when you leave the area don't go the fucking wrong way and end up in carjack land.

I went to five guys for the first time today. It was good, I got a bacon milkshake and felt like I was dying a little bit.

I feel their sausage and biscuit is really solid. Otherwise they are not much better than any other fast food place.
Is it really any better than Hardee’s/Carl jrs? I haven’t had any other fast food biscuit that compares to theirs.

Its been a long time since I have had theirs since I dont have a Carls Jr near me anymore. So my memory might be fuzzy. Its similar biscuit taste and the sausage patty is much more seasoned than the Carls Jr. Over all probably similar level how ever you can also get a Redbull at Steak and Shake with your biscuit.

Got these jalapeno Doritos the other day. 7/10

Basically they taste like spicy nacho if the cheese was removed. They still tasted good but could've used a lot more seasoning - like cool ranch levels of seasoning. Barely any heat but would buy again if sold out of spicy nacho.

I prefer cool ranch, but I am a sick, twisted, perverted fucking degenerate
Nah I'd say cool ranch and original nacho are two separate entities that together prove Doritos to be the superior snack to almost every variant of chip. The ying and the yang

Nacho Cheese Doritos are the single best snack chip to ever have been invented. They will never be topped.

My feelings on Cool Ranch are well known.

I've been devouring Kettle Brand chips lately, and I really wish they were all crinkle cut. Some are traditional cut, and they just don't quite have the same crunch, despite being technically kettle cooked.

Our office has this Lunchdrop shit now with a discount on most purchases as so many people here use it (office of about 3000 or so).

I may increase my consumption of junk if this is the case!

That's ok I'm partial to nacho myself. I think they improved it in every way with spicy nacho but at that point it's essentially the same thing. I used to get a big bag when I left work and finish it on the commute home. Dangerous

got the XXL Nachos at Taco Bell (looks like maybe they're not nationwide yet? same as the XXL nachos tray they had a few years ago tho)

fuck, even with all my practice eating the $5 boxes lately, i couldn't finish the thing. made it about 80% through before i had to tap out.

Probably Old hat around here but these randomly appeared at the gas station near my house where I get breakfast tacos. One great thing about the Austin/San Antonio area? You can get breakfast tacos made fresh in just about any conceivable location. But that is a conversation for another day (all 3 gas stations near my house have a tacos frescas kitchen with old mexican grannies making tacos. Its wonderful).

But back to the chips. I'd never had these before but they are quite tasty. Fuckin' Canucks.

Yea, I think those are a full-time flavor now, grabbed them first time I saw them over a year ago - and they keep popping back up all the time, sometimes they'll be gone for a month, but then they're back then next. They're quite solid, definitely my Ruffle of choice when I'm getting Ruffles.
