Every time I go to taco bell I just roll a die and order a random number meal. It's basically all the same. But if I wanna get fat off a penny, I get the family taco meal.

I take what I said about Ugly Delicious back .First episode was solid, second episode has already brought up Stormfront and now illegal immigrants.

Why can't we just talk about food, fuck. Why does political shit have to get drug into everything I love .

First episode was not solid. Going on a delivery route with Domino's? Having the guy run around like it's a very important job? Really?

I don't really like David Chang though. We talk about mouth breathers here a lot but he actually breathes through his mouth and always sounds congested. It's also kind of gross watching him eat.

And what do you expect from a food show? There isn't a chef on earth who isn't pretentious about food "culture" and where it all comes from and what it all means and how it's God's work bringing local ingredients to the tables of the masses to remind everyone how important this specific type of Oregano is because your grandfather almost died putting it in his sauce.

He's a piece of work but the show is tolerable. Fat guys with breathing problems are absolutely who you should listen to regarding the quality of food.

If you're in Ventura county, check out Topper's for pizza. Small chain, about 7 restaurants total. Always crowded, always wins local newspaper readers/viewers choice awards and it is worthy of them. Good pizza, salad bar. Don't bother getting black olives, though. They are tasteless.

Topper's is a chain in the Midwest as well. Had one at my college. Had pretty fucking great "stix" which were basically pizza's made without sauce. Their Taco Stix were the tits. Fucking cheesybread + taco meat. Was very awesome.

The part with Dominos was dumb, however, I really liked the differing opinions and viewpoints on pizza. They also brought up good points on why Dominos is so popular (Which has been stated here many times), and you can tell he didn't like doing that segment. He even said so at the end, that this was stupid and he didn't want to do it to begin with. I feel that was forced on him by the producers.

I'm okay with them being pretentious, it's expected with chefs. I just want differing opinions and open conversation about food. These dipshits can't stop dragging politics into it and that completely ruins it for me.

I really enjoyed how that guy from Brooklyn was completely against anything but normal ingredients on pizza be taken around to try other things such as clams on pizza, etc. He even enjoyed it, and that to me is good food tv. A chef that is closed minded about what they do is not a chef, they're just a cook.

froze at the Taco Bell counter. completely blanked, so I ordered a crunchwrap supreme. It was fail. distribution is way off. Maybe if it was customized, like add spicy ranch, but by default, it was basically worthless.

I want to like idea of loaded nacho fries, but they just don't seem worth it. I'm a big nachos guy and their regular nachos don't appeal to me either. any thoughts?

The most important part of the Taco Bell visit the Baja Blast. You can pretty much never go wrong with that Doritos Loco's meal thing or some Chalupas.

Don't insult me, of course I ordered the Baja Blast! That's why I went inside, for refills

I also ordered side kittens like $1 quesadilla extra sauce, but that didn't make the first story cut for brevity sake.

Almost put this on what's rusty rustling you thread.


Fucking inlaws that love Olive garden. Outside of pasta pass just garbage. This being like 3rd visit inI at the go without me stage. Whole i like their kale saidSure soup, the food is just oil cream and salt on the cheapest ingredients and charging nearly or more than $20 an entree. So even if you go for 5bowls of spaghetti i don't see it being with the money.


I tried the seafood open lasagna. Kinda tart cream sauce over just big square sheet noodles. While thing had like 8 decent sized shrimp, which was fine though served tail on inflates size whole making more work. But what triggers need so bad, is in my giant bowl of $18 pasta..... The scallops were like 5 little dime sized pieces that seemed to based on texture clearly just be the little muscle piece you normally remove off a big scallop....

Course after helping inlaw move no consultation on dinner, they wanted this since they A have no taste and B it was close.... If id known sooner id have warned first really warm Saturday evening going to be a shit show. Sure enough nearly hour wait watching the awfull mix of trash and yuppies this area of state is. Skrillex looking mom's with comb over and soo with matching hair cut. White trash family whining and getting in because they didn't think it fair others called ahead ie reservations basically. Shitty skater boi kids and father playing foot hockey after they drop the table waiting disc rather than picking it up. Let me play with your phone the same way in sure you won't mind?

Fucking shitty overpriced cooked from a bag shithole and the trash that frequent it.

Man Carrabbas is so much better then olive garden for about the same price. They usually have a deal like buy a chicken dinner and get free lasagna. Can't pass that shit up.

Carabbas is actually a nice restaurant. At first I thought you were gonna say "Carino's" and I would have stabbed you in the throat. Ever since they went from Johnny Carinos to just "Carino's" (they franchised), they match Olive Garden in generic. But just like Red Lobster, I don't go for the food - I go for the breadsticks and cheddar bay biscuits, only Carino's doesn't serve anything like that.

Carabbas is just nice all around. Had the best steak I've ever had that wasn't at a steakhouse.

I used to rock the 5 for 5 in college all the time. You could get an order of mozz sticks, two sandwiches, a curly fry, and an apple turnover. For $5. Robbery.

Ate Olive Garden for the first time in like a decade b/c gift card.
Menu excited me, but I stayed rational and got bottomless spaghetti, fettunci, lasagna, and soup for $15.
service was uber slow so i didn't get to have even one of each. lasagna was crazy dry, but decent once I dumped it in the minestrone; again super slow only got to get two bowls of soup. only one of bread.
verdict: frozen grocery store lasagna 100% of the time instead of this for half the price.
