We've become friends with a fun group of former Mormons living in SLC. Hot Dr Pepper as a coffee substitute is apparently a Mormon thing. Weird AF.
I'm with you on gulf oysters unless they're fried up on a po-boy or I'm eating char-grilled oysters in NOLA. I've been known to consume gulf oysters raw but not usually by choice. Gimme the cold-water oysters all day long -- I'll eat as many as you give me.
I can only eat so much really, really terrific brisket because it's so rich and greasy. It's fantastic though and definitely sits up there with the best meats.
Blue Bell sucks shit through a straw and I will never willingly buy it again.
I prefer beans in chili as well and understand that's not Texas chili, nor do I claim it to be.
I don't really like pecans so therefore, I don't eat pecans. It's a consistency thing for me. I don't particularly like nuts in food but I like them by themselves as a snack (that's what she said). I'm an apple/key lime pie guy.
Whataburger has some of the worst service a fast food joint can have unless you're in a wealthy suburb. It's barely above Popeye's. McDonald's ain't got nothing on Whataburger, though.
Nobody older than 18 should ever be consuming Totino's "pizza." If I'm gonna waste calories on food that's bad for you, it ain't gonna be Totino's.
