ubkev Posted September 3, 2017 Report Posted September 3, 2017 Pig roast #2 to Mark the coming end of summer. Fantastic! Eating the skin off of those guys is just damn delicious. Quote
Eleven Posted September 4, 2017 Report Posted September 4, 2017 I just had the worst breakfast possible. I had ordered a chocolate / caramel tart from Left Bank the other night and it was in the fridge. that was amazing. I am dreading working it off, though. Quote

I had a sensible bowl of rasin bran for breakfast and a salad for lunch. ....but I ate half a pig last night! That thing weighed 80 lbs. Quote
Ogre Posted September 6, 2017 Report Posted September 6, 2017 (edited) Zucchini bread in the oven! I like to toast zucchini bread in the toaster oven to crisp the edges. I then butter the hell out of it and add two poached eggs on top. Nice yolky poached eggs. Salt and pepper. Good God! I am just now realizing that I should fry the bread in the butter and really caramelized the sugars before adding the eggs. Hell next batch I'm going to try it as French toast!

Eleven Posted September 20, 2017 Report Posted September 20, 2017 Had a Shake Shack burger for the first time today; I was in Brooklyn. (Sorry, freeman; I didn't have social time, otherwise I would have dropped you a line.) Not quite up to the hype. Pretty salty. A good burger but Ted's is better. And just to show you all that I'm not being a homer, Five Guys kicks Ted's ass. I'm about to rid myself of this grimy city and board a plane back to sanity. So, with respect to the second half of the title, a vodka and pineapple. I've made major strides cutting back on the drinks, but you if you think I'm getting in an airplane without something to settle me down. Quote

I too prefer 5 Guys to Shake shack, mostly for the breadth of toppings available and it being less greasy. Both are walking distance from my office, although the exercise/calorie/cost calculation means I don't make the trip very often. Quote

That doesn't speak well for SS, cuz I got a burger from 5G and could see through the tinfoil it was so greasy. It pretty much made me come to the decision that the only way I'm getting a burger now, is if I'm sitting on a stool and having a couple of pints with it. Quote
North Buffalo Posted September 21, 2017 Report Posted September 21, 2017 Just had a steak and provolone cheese with onions and peppers from M$R Deli in Mt kisco NY, bread is closet thing to a Western NY sub roll I have found downstate...mmmm! Quote

Eleven Posted September 22, 2017 Report Posted September 22, 2017 Shake Shack is definitely more greasy than the Five Guys I remember. Like a LOT more. That said, I haven't had Five Guys other than the original locations around DC. So if they've gotten bad after expanding, I may have to reevaluate. Quote

Little Tavern still down there... they were pretty bad greasy? Quote
The Dominator Posted September 22, 2017 Report Posted September 22, 2017 Also, let's make sure we are separating grease from the burger and grease from the fries. I'd say Five Guys' grease from the burgers is almost non-existent compared to the grease from their fries Quote
darksabre Posted September 23, 2017 Report Posted September 23, 2017 Took advantage of the nice weather to grab a late lunch at Pautler's today. Probably the last weekend we'll be able to eat outside for many months. Winter is coming. Quote
Weave Posted September 23, 2017 Author Report Posted September 23, 2017 Birthday dinner for my wife. We are at an old historic building ( built in 1820) that used to be a restaurant/tavern that burned to a total loss years ago, and bought and restored over the last 10 years. Reopened a couple months ago as a fancy-shmancy restaurant. The place is gorgeous. The food delicious. The service excellent. And now we are enjoying an early Fall evening on their patio overlooking a waterfall listening to a really good jazz trio. Fantastic. Oh, food and drink...... Dinner was a seared duck breast over a bed of quinoa and veggies, with a cherry gastric. Bulleit bourbon, rocks, and jazz now. Quote

Headed out to an oyster fest sponsored by Guinness. Irish bands, matchmakers, and plenty of Guinness. Slainte'. Quote
