Not being critical, but curious - is that how it comes or did you chose those ingredients?

I like to add a few more veggies to my Mongolian BBQ.

 

[spizike231]

It’s AYCE and you make your own ingredients

I had dinner at Lucille's yesterday because I haven't been there for months. I also aware they have happy hour specials from 3:00PM to 7:00PM on Monday through Friday. But it's valid until close on Wednesdays during football season.

I had a chicken sandwich for $11 when it's normally $15. It was originally a Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, but I opted to have it without the hot sauce based on my waitress acknowledging it's highly spicy. It's nice to know that I can have it prepared without the hot sauce.

I chose BBQ beans for my included side. I tried a little bit of the red hot sauce in the cup and realized it was too spicy for me. I opted to eat it with the white Alabama sauce that was included and liked it that way.

You gotta get that spice level up Texas Rattlesnake!!!

"White alabama" is so funny for so many reasons

That’s a little light in topping choices compared to the Mongolian bbq I’ve had

You make your own from the line g

I tossed a ton of onions and mushrooms in there, and baby corn as well. It just wasn’t at the top.

But ultimately the lack of colorful veg was my choice

Social media somehow turned everybody into professional food critics

 

[lawdog1]

This is true. Y’all bougie.

I go to Olive Garden regularly because my son loves the Minestrone there and they’re usually pretty busy when we go.

The people who hate on it are just louder about it.

 

[spizike231]

I dislike Olive Garden now because I’ve had good Italian food in my city, and would pay around the same price if not a small bit more to get good food there as I would at Olive Garden for meh food.

The breadsticks ain’t what it used to be either. Wifey went there with a friend a few months back and said that after 2 rounds of breadsticks their server brought them 1 breadstick

And those spots put care and take pride in their food. Just tastes better.

Olive Garden is overpriced imo but I don’t care what anyone says, that Alfredo is crack. Chicken and Gnocchi is good too.

This is true. Y’all bougie.

Although it's mostly social media, most restaurants use cheaper ingredients, which makes the food not as good as it used to be.

There's plenty of small businesses that suck though.

Not at allllll. I've always scoffed at the idea that those places were nice, and I've always known plenty of people who've felt the same way.

In all aspects, all the internet has done is expand the awareness of dialogue that people were already having; it hasn't created any dialogue that wasn't already there.

Haven’t been there in over 15-20 years but Cheesecake Factory was higher quality than Olive Garden, never been to Red Lobster.

Most of the meat and veg I added was at the bottom, apologies for not improving the plating before taking a pic for NT

I've never been to a Mongolian spot that didn't mix in the food after cooking.

Unless you took that picture before you handed the cooks the food.
