I’m only going to be in town for a few days so I’m stocking up on my Mexican food cravings. I just can’t find anything decent here on the East coast.

Mi Nidito is also on my list.

They just added birria mini chimi's to the menu so naturally I started with those. They were alright but now I get to finish those enchi's for lunch tomorrow! They have 3 menu's right now: https://www.elcharrocafe.com/menus/

Their mango marg with tajin is incredible too but no drinks before heading back to work

Add Salsa Verde to your list as well. Make sure you order something with the red sauce or the mole. Amazing food.

Try and hit up up some smaller places too. Aqui Con El Nene, Ensenada Street Food, Tacos Apson etc.

Just got back from having dinner at El Charro. Both of my twins go to uni out of town, so had to stuff them with what they can’t get when off to school.

Chips and salsa - amazing.

I had the Carne Seca Plate. Still the bomb.

Aspen Deli in Flagstaff. It's like the sandwich your goy mother set out for you.

Took my very best friend and his family to our local beach today.

We were mega-hungover from a late late night of drinking bourbon by a camp fire, but we hustled in the morning to leave my house by 9:30 in order to beat the traffic and get our favorite parking and beach spot.

We hauled my giant ass cooler that I was convinced would roll on the sand (it didn’t) out to our spot and set up shop. And when lunch time rolled around we were starved.

But my wife is a queen…

We had thin sliced Virginia ham, honey turkey, Genoa salami, bacon, provolone, cheddar, aged swiss, lettuce, tomato, mayo, deli mustard, pretzel rolls, potato chips in four different flavors, watermelon, grapes, cherries, dill pickles, cucumbers, baby carrots, celery, and the best goddamn dill dip I’ve ever eaten.

When I tell you I put together a plate that a man on death row would have been happy to call his last meal, I am not exaggerating.

Transplant opened yesterday! All pizzas are $15-22 and are 8"x10" plus a few salad/app options, 2 pastas and the normal Grillers beer menu. This is the elote pizza (chicken, bacon, roasted corn, cilantro, mozz, cotija and cilantro ranch). Crispy deep dish but surprisingly lightweight. Very good!

oooooo! I've been waiting for this!

that definitely looks like my kinda pizza

$1 Ramen

Red and sour cream green chile smothered chimi from Poco & Moms

Mmmmmmm......

Salad and Go is opening a location at Speedway and Craycroft on Aug 26. It is mostly drive-thru only. Some locations do have a walk up window. Their menu is limited, mostly inexpensive salads that are big and organic as possible. Personally I love the Cobb salad. Their service is usually fast. BTW, they are environmentally conscious and starting pay for employees is $15/hr.

https://www.saladandgo.com/menu/

I was wondering what that place was. Sounds good, thanks

Not sure what it says about me but I generally hate buying salads, not to mention eating them. I'd rather have vegetables prepared literally any other way.

That being said, I enjoy seeing restaurants like this succeed. Especially since it shits on the chest of businesses and restaurants that insist it is impossible to exist and deliver quality food, reasonable prices, and good wages and benefits for their workers.

What I'd like to make is salads of cold cooked vegetables but I don't have time.

I saw In n Out hiring at $14.50 and $17.50 per hr.

One of the world's great sandwiches. Basically a Baggins unforgettable.

Whole grain bread
Herbed turkey
Thick cut hickory bacon
Avocado
Sprouts
Cream cheese
Mayo

I once had a cold goat cheese, beet, & brussels sprouts salad that may have been one of the top 15 things I’ve ever eaten.

They also have $2.99 breakfast burritos and every salad is $5.74. Place is gonna do great here!

I just found out my town has a legit Thai place (not a Sushi + Thai or Chinese + Thai where they do neither particularly well).

Might have to swing by for lunch tomorrow.

And large drinks are $1.

Trader Joe's Mediterranean orzo salad. It was surprisingly quite good.

I really miss Costco hotdogs. Just running around doing errands I would stop by and get a soda and dog for $1.50, with onions, relish and sauerkraut.

But when I developed high blood pressure, it had to go. 1090 mg of sodium. https://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/calor ... -142573524

I have a bunch of Costco hot dogs in my freezer.

But unfortunately my lunch was leftovers as per usual.

Bacon and potato soup.

You always go for flavor. Try mixing in some bowls of boiled, unseasoned yams.

Let me think about it.....no.

Mushroom ravioli and asparagus. But what I really want is one of Merkin's Costco dogs. When I'm on my deathbed I'm gonna commit suicide by hotdog and all the other shit I have to deny myself for the next 30 years.

The crack smoking will probably kill you before the hot dogs if I had to guess Mr. Deathbed Crack Smoker.

Fuck that. I'd much rather go out with Cohibas, bottles of single malt, Costco dogs made of pork belly, wheels of ripe triple cream cheese, titty fucks from Sarah Palin and ..... where's my list

I want literally none of those things.

Give me pre-rolled Indica joints, 10 year old bourbon, a pile of crab legs and bone-in ribeyes, and a big titty nurse who likes to flirt back when she’s giving me a sponge bath.

Also, I’d probably try heroin just to see what all the fuss is about.

Ribeyes are on the list.

Look Dove, you can hang out in my death den, but when the big titty nurse flirts with me I’m gonna need you to pretend you’re invisible.

I'm glad I currently have a lot of indica and married the big titty nurse.

It’s amazing how quickly conversations here can go from Salad-n-go to getting a sponge bath from a big titty nurse

That's why we stick around

I approve.

Speaking of hot dogs...

You can have your sponge bath when she's done with me.

Eww, DoveCanyon sloppy seconds? No thanks. I’d rather let Sarah Palin inject me with Invermectin or whatever horse de-wormer the Magastanis are yelling about this week.

In all seriousness, how much would you pay to get out of being locked inside an airplane lavatory with Sarah Palin? Like if you lost a contest or something like that.

I think I could make things so bad that she would pay me to get out. Especially depending on what I had for lunch (just to bring this thread back full circle).

On a big plate, I spread peanut butter like when you're frosting a cake. I use a trowel-like butter knife to do it right. It has to be salted creamy peanut butter with nothing but peanuts and salt.

Then I cover the peanut butter layer in sliced bananas.

Then I put sriracha on the layer of sliced bananas.

Then I cover it all in Cheerios, and I eat it with a spoon.

Just being honest.

I just had leftover tacos. Minus the sriracha bananas.

Roast turkey and provolone on wheat with an apple and bar-b-que pork rinds.

My brain has never registered a flavor for pepperoni. Nor nacho cheese flavored Doritos.

But I love the Italian salami that inspired American pepperoni ("pepperoni" in Italian just means bell peppers, and as a meat it doesn't exist in Italy), and I love Cheetos.

Other people seem to enjoy pepperoni and nacho cheese flavored Doritos, but for me it's just a complete blank. Like the flavor of air mixed with an overload of salt.

I pay for the rest of my life spent in a cell.

Maybe the only thing I miss about working in an office is going out to lunch. I used to have literally every cuisine in the world within walking distance. Bahn Mi on Monday, Chicken Tikka on Tuesday, Burgers, Pasta, Sushi… it was all right there to appease my gluttony.

Working from home it’s whatever we had for dinner a few nights ago. And if I’m lucky it’s edible reheated. Today it was pork loin and stuffing. Who the fuck truly wants three day old pork loin and dry-ass stuffing in the middle of a 90 degree day??
