FOOD THREAD VOL. GRUB LIFE

[Mark Antony]

Cheeseburgers was a usual recommendation, sounds like they were right.

If anything be healthy all the way up until that day.

Yea just go hard the week before. In the gym and with the food.

But you CAN be conscious about the portions on the day of. We all are victims of eating things just because they are there and we don't really want then. Waste calories on things you care about.

 

[B Sox]

I’ve never heard of anybody saying they were gonna be healthy ON Thanksgiving. It’s always before and/or after

 

[jape]

i can not pass on aunties best dishes I get to try once a year
especially when I know they getting up early to put in work

 

[B Sox]

Yeah that’s definitely part of it, and reason to indulge.

Stuffing is once a year.
Mashed potatoes probably like 3-5x a year.
Mac n cheese probably like 3-5x a year.
Sweet potato pie/candied sweet potatoes/candy yams once a year.
GBC once a year.

Landed in Gary, Indiana for our honeymoon

Sausage roll from Greggs to start things off

Nando’s for an easy dinner

These Fanta wings were actually awesome. Our favorite thing of the meal:

Got the all-in platter with chips, peas, rainbow slaw, and broccolini:

Walked by my worst enemy afterwards

 

[Mark Antony]

Does UK Nandos have that "better overseas" edge?

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Mac and cheese is the overrated dish in American cuisine. It could go away and I wouldn’t miss it ever. I think I’ve had it like 2x in my life and sure it was fine but nothing worth mentioning. People look at me funny always when I’m at a bbq and pass on it and just get more roasted veggies or salad but I mean it’s nothing more than a carb bomb that tastes mid

 

[B Sox]

Nah that’s crazy

Cultural.

 

[B Sox]

How you only had Mac n cheese twice in life?!?!?

What if by some chance you just didn’t have a good one??

 

[DeadsetAce]

i was gonna say, there is def a lot of mid mac out there. but places and people that do it right....whew. can be an elite dish on its own or as a side

 

[biggie62]

Cultural.

It def is partially cultural. Being Polish it doesn’t appeal to me.

And to those that said I didn’t have good ones. I don’t know, the first time I tried it was at Gibsons steak house in Chicago for a work event when they ordered a Mac and cheese with lobster and the second one was when we were out in KC at some supposedly famous BBq spot out there for a work trip as well. I don’t recall that name unfortunately though.

 

[heelsandeers]

Lobster mac to me is no bueno

 

[heelsandeers]

Yeah.. when it gets main dish treatment it can be pretty good

I feel like the afterthought mac that's thrown together as a side is what a lot of people associate with it

As far as pasta sides go for me.... mac >>>>>> salad

Yeah you need southern baked mac. Those other ways aren’t what we’re talking about.

 

[tr1ll]

Yea....certain people....took mac and cheese too far. We dont need it on a burger or deep fried in a ball.

 

[heelsandeers]

Forgot a pic but had a fire buffalo chicken sub yesterday

Used to get these all the time but haven’t had one in years

Fried chicken sauced to perfection, with bleu cheese*, lettuce, tomato on a soft hoagie roll

*the ones I used to order would have a more neutral cheese but the bleu set it off
