How do you not like gouda?

Had a box suite for the A's game on Friday and they up'ed their food game. Full cheese platter. I didn't even bother with the hot dogs and sliders. Crackers and cheese all night.

i'd be interested in making one of these funky cheeses one day, i only make moz for lasagne and now pizza, since i can't find whole milk moz (can only find part-skim)

I've never made my own cheese. I've considered making my own paneer but it's just easier to buy it.

moz is the most basic cheese to make, b/c you don't need to buy special cultures (the tang and taste from most cheeses is the bacteria strains), all you need is whole milk/ citric acid (you find it in the canning section) and rennet (you find this in the yogurt section).

of course you can buy better liquid rennet online and silicone gloves would make folding the moz easier, it's the most basic.

if you care about cost, it'll pay for itself at 1/4 the price of ball'd moz. if store bought ball moz at 8oz is 4bucks, and a gallon of milk (at 2bucks) will yield a pound of moz.

Good timing!



Louis Lunch is ok, the meat's doneness is really hit or miss. Worth it just for understanding the basepoint of the original hamburger.

Steamed cheeseburgers are ok, not really my deal as I like my char.

Shady Glen, the burger is amazing but the whole environment really brings it home.

Steamed Cheeseburgers are terrible, and Ted's should be ashamed.

There's a spot up in Napa of all places that does a burger like this. Never been but I really want to.

That's a Squeeze Inn burger with their famous "cheese skirt." I know this because the original was a tiny hole-in-the-wall place a couple miles from work that made the world's best burgers (it was actually on an old episode of Diners Drive-Ins and Dives) until this shitty fucking sue-happy cripple in the area brought a lawsuit against them because it wasn't handicap accessible. They had to move locations (now even closer to work!), and I believe they got bought out and someone made a small franchise out of them, so there are a couple around the area. Napa is close enough to Sacramento that I wouldn't be surprised if there's one there too.

Either that, or someone stole the cheese skirt idea, because that looks exactly like it.

Honestly after eating plenty of those though, I am always tempted to get it without the skirt anymore. I don't, because that's almost like telling Weinerschnitzel you don't want a fucking hotdog; it is what the Squeeze Inn is known for. But the novelty of a fuckton of cheddar cheese around your burger wears off fairly quickly and you just want a normal burger with a normal (large) helping of cheese.

I went to a legit mexican place Saturday night and a couple inventors spent like 20 minutes having the waiter go over every item on the menu.

Made me question humanity.

JUST ORDER SOMETHING

zombiewizardhawk zombiewizardhawk can confirm but thinking on it I believe the point of this shit is so they can complain that X is not as described and thus should be free eatning 3/4 of it.

You could be right. They changed what ingredients were in their food minutes after ordering and the waiter had to run back to the kitchen
