Chinese carryout only place nearby still open. They even have cheesesteak eggrolls. All chinese family employees. No idea about that claim a chinese restaurant can't get stuff from china...you can get that shit at the local grocery store unless you're ordering gray wetmarket chinese food. Pretty sure there hasn't been a post here about pangolins or bats, Harshaw

I have no idea what they get from China, but it's no stranger than the Greek restaurant that gets all their olive oil and shit sent over from Greece. Also, If I want anything short of some basic asian staples I have to order it off Amazon or drive about 90 minutes to an actual Asian grocery. I'd kill to be able to go to the local grocery and get shit like gochujang or miso paste, but that don't happen where I live.

Are you sure it's a Fast Food Thread Chinese place? Is there a steam tray full of bright red sweet and sour pork in there?

Yeah, I'm lucky my local supermarket even has gochujang paste. Can't even get choy sum. I have to bug my friend from philly to hit china town for anything authentic.

Tried my hand at making some brats cooked in cider and onions tonight with some herbed potatoes. Didn’t turn out too bad, though I can’t dice an onion for shit.

The trick is not to cut the root. Not only does it hold the onion together while you dice, as a bonus you won't tear up as much

BrutulTM · Apr 25, 2020

When I first got my chef's knives I lost a fair amount of blood trying to chop onions fast like the TV chefs. I can demolish an onion in no time now though.

Yeah, this was the video I watched before trying. Bitch of an onion just wouldn't stay together and I probably have shitty knives (even though they're new). I'm also super paranoid about cutting myself, so probably not doing well for my holding position.

95% of restaurants including Chinese ones get their food from sysco deliveries, those cheese steak egg rolls come frozen from sysco. The 5% of non-high end restaurants that don't, and shop for themselves, are almost always awesome places - it's so much more effort for them

Fogel · Apr 25, 2020

Sysco is just the distributor though. I don't know what percentage they get imported as I don't deal with imports much but I'd be shocked if they didn't get stuff from China.

Are you saying all Chinese food places use the same Sysco shit just like pizza places?

I've seen them get deliveries from trucks with nothing but chinese written on them, but I'm sure its also area dependent. restaurants in urban centers are more likely to have an asian specific distributor near them while some in the more rural areas will have to rely on the big boys like sysco or US food

I saw some gochujang sauce thing once there. It wasn't actual straight gochujang paste though. Our Walmart Asian section is pretty small.

Old bay On the corn

McCheese · Apr 29, 2020

Fuck yes. You know a real man by the size of his old Bay container.

Oblio · Apr 29, 2020

Every single product I have tried from Kinder's is fan-fucking-tastic. Here is the latest thing I have tried and God Damn it is good. Day 86 of Carnivore this probably not 100% Carnivore, but it is close enough. I am dropping weight and feeling great.

Koushirou · Apr 30, 2020

I've never understood why the rest of my family won't try Old Bay on corn. It's goddamn perfect for it.

Day 2 of living in Florida, ordered a cheese steak, meat too thick and roll is as soft as a hotdog bun. I miss Jersey already
