Yeah more like a corn pie. Nothing like a tamale. Thats what the Chef called it and I dont question her magic

Polenta casserole.

Every taco tasted the same. Disturbingly sweet in that gross way that Pace salsa tastes. Sweet corn in everything. No corn tortillas, except those industrial formed hard shells, like the ones made by Old El Paso, or else bad flour tortillas, or flour tortillas wrapped over a hard shell.

I've eaten there and thought the same thing. I had a consulting gig for 5 months in Pittsburgh and was actually surprised how their downtown was built up with a lot of new bars and restaurants.

Could never get over how they did their Pittsburgh sandwiches like Primanti Bros. Cole slaw and Fries on the sandwich?

I've yet to try a Primanti's fresh. I once ordered one delivered, but stale fries may not be representative.

What passes as flour tortillas in most places makes me sad for the people that live there.

Agreed. I know people that have moved from Arizona and are shocked that there's nothing but mission tortillas available. It crushes them.

Asked for a tortilla with my meal on my last trip to Philly and they called it flat bread

Okay I tried a Primanti's fresh and hot on the spot. It's a big improvement not having stale fries. The only problem is that the meat sucks. Sorry TJ and Sean Miller.

I had one on site a few years ago and thought it was just OK.

A favorite: spaghetti and meatballs sandwich with mayonnaise

The Safeway deli by my work has a deviled egg potato salad that is fantastic.

I was saying the other day that there should be a deviled egg sandwich. It would be an improvement on an egg salad sandwich.

Went to Rupert Jee's Hello Deli today for anyone who remembers him from The Late Show with David Letterman. His place is still around.

I had the Biff, wife had the Letterman. Pretty tasty and reasonably priced and Rupert made our food.

After a morning workout: medium rare beef filet; grilled asparagus/red and yellow peppers w/onion and garlic; fusilli mac 'n cheese; Duckhorn Merlot. Mrs. Dove rocks.

Just had what I believe is my first Jimmy John's sandwich and let me tell you..................it's nothing special.

And Jimmy is a colossal asshole. Don’t put money in that fucker’s pocket.

Company lunch meeting.

Soup and sammy: bacon, poblano, pepperjack, mayo, Italian Everything bun (kinda pretzely/seedy/grilled in bacon fat, tomato bisque; cabernet plonk. I love my wife.

Cornbread chili casserole.

Just inhaled 8oz of a medium rare 13oz marinated tenderloin, 2.5 inches thick atop a bed of couscous and Portobello mushrooms in a reduction sauce washed down with a half bottle of Mendocino Zinfandel. Eat your heart out tailgaters!

Remember how we were just discussing grocery bill inflation? This seared-to-perfection deeply marbled butter-soft filet cost $13.50.

..... at my wife's cafe.

In case you are not kidding, does she really have a cafe? If so, tell us more because you are the type of people I want to support.

Nah, she's in our kitchen. I thought that maybe folks might think there was some restaurant in Pima county one could get a 13oz. filet for $13.50. Eating more at home is a whole lot more financially important these days.

The wife took the kids to the mall so it’s corndogs and bourbon.

Going to McGurkee's for lunch today.

Don't sprain a shoulder picking one up, or a mandible putting one in your gob.

Pork meatballs with melted asiago in red sauce with grilled red and orange peppers over orzo. Cabernet.

I'm craving a high quality cheeseburger today. Not a fast food one, but not one of the hipster arugula and havarti cheese ones either.

Neither one of those is anywhere near me. I'm in North Las Vegas near the Aliante Casino.

Shucks

Greek food in Modesto.

Pretty damn good gyro

Ended up going to Habit Burger. I really miss Harvey's Wineburger.

Gnocchi (pan-fried to a good toothy scald) with Gorgonzola crumbles; Caesar salad; Cabernet; nap.

PB and J samiches.

I don't understand the cult following of chicken and waffles.

Just got some fried rice for lunch and the fortune cookie note had a coupon on the back for up to 40% of tuition at NAU.

Arby's brought back potato cakes.

I love Arby’s. It’s a true struggle to decide between the Mozz sticks, the potato cakes, and the curly fries. One day I may order all three and go out in a blaze of glory*.

Yes, but they provide a crazy straw.

Jalapeno poppers are decent as well

Favorite fast food hamburger is the Santa Barbara Char at Habit. With onion rings. Drool.

Arby's actually has decent fun food?

I have been to Arby's maybe once in the last 25 years or so since my father in law liked the sandwiches. I'm not even sure what meat Arby's had on their roast beef sandwiches but it wasn't roast beef. Some sort of processed meat product you would find next to bologna. Maybe it's better now than it was decades ago.

Same. Something I would never order, but then again, I never order fried chicken. All that batter is just gross. Lightly battered fried chicken is great, but hard to find fast food.

And good luck finding grilled chicken in the South. Every place we went in NC the chicken was fried. Not even an option for grilled.

But loved the little corn muffin things which came with every meal.

I used to love Arby's. I had it once a couple years back and it was so bad. I was very disappointed.

I never get the beef. Their Chicken Bacon Swiss is tits.

"Stop, you're gonna get Arby's on me!"
