FOOD THREAD VOL. GRUB LIFE

[Comparison Ford]

No food on earth is worth a 3 hour wait.

As a matter of fact noTHING is worth a 3 hour wait

Eh...that depends on a lot of factors.

Waiting 3+ hours for one meal could arguably not be worth it, but what's the line situation like?

I wait on line in Brooklyn for beer at Other Half but the experience is pretty cool. It's basically a big tailgate party on the sidewalk where people are sharing and trading rare/sought after beers with one another. There's a sandwich table for people waiting as well. You can walk away with cases of beer and drink very well for over a month by waiting on line for a few hours.

If the line waiting for food was as festive as the line I wait on, I could see the appeal.

Different strokes.

Just speaking for myself.

Waiting in a line for food, nah. Too many options in this world

 

[Nawzlew]

waited 3 hours for kang ho dong first time i went.

worth it.

 

[B Sox]

Like, there's just no way that chicken sandwich can taste THAT much better than whatever other options are out there that require no wait.

Understandable. Just know that not all lines are the miserable communist toilet paper lines that they're depicted to be. Franklin BBQ's line is apparently a lot like the line I described above.

Having said that, I would never wanna wait on a 3-hour line where there wasn't beer, food, or other good times to be had while waiting.

 

[RustyShackleford]

I know a couple people that have waited in line at Franklin's.

Most said they went in skeptical, all said it was worth the wait.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I am trying to think about anything in life that I cherish enough to wait in line for 3 hours.

I just don't lnow man. That is a long time, no matter what is going on.

Yea, a fried chicken sandwich. Nah man

I also understand the mentality of "it's a chicken sandwich, how good could it be?" but Howlin' Ray's does look god damn spectacular.

Semi-inspired to make some fried chicken sandwiches on Saturday.

I've waited 3 hrs for pum pum (not in line ). I could hypothetically wait 3 hrs for food.

My daughter wanted a hatchimal for christmas so i stood in line for like 8 hours to buy one.

 

[Los Angeles]

I will add that the wait did not seem that long, the employees are cool as hell, always asking how everyones doing ... giving out cups of pickles, played some good old school songs as well ...

I got the “hot” sando w the ghost peppers n habaneros, damn i paid for it

I definitely feel that way about cupcakes also. In 2012, there was a cupcake craze in DC. Folks would stand in line for HOURS for GeorgeTown Cupcakes.

No cupcake is THAT good man. Some of our grocery stores have great bakeShops that product GREAT desserts.

Also, IF you wait in line that long, you are MOST LIKELY going to justify that when discussing it publicly.

There is too many damn BBQ spots in Austin to be standing in line for one spot for HOURS

My friends are adults, and do not feel the need to lie about something so trivial.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Damn, Figs waiting in line like the common man?

 

[DCAllAfrican]

It is a natural human approach.

Justification of one's action.

The same way folks will justify spending large amounts of money on overpriced resells. Same concept here

k

I'm not going down this rabbit hole with you, over something so trivial

 

[DCAllAfrican]

At all man.Thankfully that mess died down though. I really didn't get it.

Cupcakes were good but, they were cupcakes at the end of the day

Pie > Cake anyways.

 

[tupac jordan]

Longest I've ever waited was about 2.5 hours for this ramen place. https://www.yelp.com/biz/ramen-dojo-san-mateo My brother & I were 1st in line and we brought a cooler of beer & parked his truck right in the front. Got twisted & it was worth it but haven't been back yet.

Yea, crust > Anything.

Give me a beatiful Key Lime Pie or a Peach Cobbler

Speaking of white, is Apple Pie Cultural?
