I suggest Jenna’s tweet sprung from her reaction to the bill while having no health insurance. I know it’s not her bill, but the tweet is in reaction to it.

No way she bought into ACA. Maybe her realty gave her insurance options, but I bet she passed. PM Yaba. It fits with the MAGA business owners I know (a very small sample.) Outrages are so plentiful these days, something has to kick one out of orbit.

 

I didn’t know you could put your parents on your insurance policy.

As I stated, I know it’s not her Bill. She saw the bill, and assessed it like someone who’s uninsured.

As the AP notes, Malliotakis is one of several GOP lawmakers to promote benefits of the bill they voted against. Others include House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy; Representative Elise Stefanik, who appears poised to assume the leadership position currently held by Liz Cheney; and Senator Roger Wicker, who was criticized in March when he tweeted that “restaurant operators have won $28.6 billion worth of targeted relief,” declining to mention that, while he indeed pressed for restaurant relief, he ultimately voted against the bill that awarded it.

I won’t dine at either. I guess maybe the difference was that when I was a poor college student I sometimes ate at Applebee’s because of their cheap appetizers, even though their cheese sticks were green.

After school I ate at a Chili’s once. Once. One of my friends never got his order. They didn’t screw it up. They just never delivered it. The manager wound up comping the rest of us for our meals but that didn’t do him any good. We still had to stop at a McDonald’s so he could get something g to eat. I thought it was nice that the manager comped my meal but it wasn’t good enough to ever make me want to go back again. That was pretty close to 30 years ago.

But I too love the chips and salsa from Chili's. The delicate crispiness of the chips is serene.

That's a good connection, particularly if his parents wanted to ensure that he had no loot.

I started the original Shank thread with a photo of my purchase of pork rinds and Pearl beer. You think my love of chili’s chips and salsa should be a negative? Bitch please.

And yeah, it’s like a kickass salty tomato dip. I don’t care, I like what I like. I like real messican salsas too - I love em, in fact. But that salty tomatoey dip stuff? Love it. Shit, may have to go pick some up for tomorrow’s Austin FC game watching.

[Walden Ponderer 12639]

Chili's chips and salsa were my daughter's first solid food. She was six months old at the time.

That was the last time we set foot in a Chili's, though. 1999. We had a gift certificate as a late baby gift from my aunt. To be honest, I'm surprised Chili's still exists. They don't suck, necessarily, it's just that there's nothing they do well, with the possible exception of putting chips in a basket, but that's not enough for a franchise. They are the ultimate strip mall restaurant for the United States of Generica, I suppose.

As long as we’re getting off on a tangent, there’s a Japanese steakhouse here in town who has a salad dressing that is just awesome. You can buy a bottle of it for $5. (Back in the day it came with a $5 dollar off coupon for dinner so they were practically giving it away.) I used to joke that I’d drink it in a cocktail with vodka. So one day I did. It wasn’t bad at all.

On impulse I bought some New England style Bloody Mary mix a couple of months ago.  I would swear it's just cocktail sauce (for dipping shrimp).

In 1969, a very good year, there was a restaurant called Jamie's across from the Shamrock Hilton on South Main.  The house salsa y chips were quite good.  The salsa was hot without scalding the roof of your mouth and zesty peppery without causing sweat runnels on your forehead or numbing your lips.  Chips were  warm, thin, strong and good and tortilla-y.  Best of all, the salsa was thick and beany, meaty more like chili.

An innovative bonus - each table had a centerpiece doohickey with a miniature hoistable and lowerable Texas state flag attached to a little flagpole.  When you were ready to order, just hoist the flag.  No hovering waitstaff - ever.  You need something, raise the lone star.  Great burgers, too.

The early days after immigrating to Houston. Getting a good report card back in elementary school meant something like a free meal at Pancho’s—truly thought that was the height of dining sophistication back then.

On the restaurant thing, I think the last time I ate at Chilis was in an airport.  Pretty decent burger as I recall.

When I was dating the wife, there was an Applebees near her abode.  She confessed to being a fool for their spinach artichoke dip, and I have to admit that it was a pretty credible version.  Back then, they also had a two entree for $20 thing, so we'd use it as a quick, cheap meal a step above fast food for not much more money.  Sure, it ain't haute cuisine, but really not that shabby considering.

Coming off of a 4 day stomach bug, where the most of been able to keep down was some white rice, my first real meal was a burger at the chili’s at love field. As I recall, it was a decent burger. Then again, I was really hungry.

Not worth trying to overthrow the government over or anything like that, though.

We have sort of a mini Chili's shoehorned in between Walmart and Lowe's in Decatur. Only been there twice and had the cheeseburger. It was decent.

Oh yeah, and the salsa bowls were some kind of brass or copper.  It was the Texas flag not Mexican with cartoon Pancho.  They had big juicy burgers in a variety of styles.  Ond was stuffed with bleu cheese, and to quote Cousin Eddie, it was gooooh-hood!

[WhatTheBuck 28781]

The burger at Max & Erma’s blows the Chili’s burger away. They have killer fries too. Sadly, the store closest to me succumbed to the pandemic. Apparently the store at John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) is at least temporarily closed too. (I need to check if the store in Hilliard is still open.)

They also made French onion soup that was to die for. The melted cheese on top was perfect. It clung to the crock bowl just right so you could carve bites out of it with your spoon without it coming detached from the side of the bowl. But, when you were ready, it peeled away easily from the edge of the bowl when you were finishing it off and needed that cheese for the last few spoonfuls.

It would really suck if that business dies. Back in my college days they had a big restaurant with three floors. They had a bar on the top floor where I had oysters Rockefeller for the first time and they were really good. They had a Sunday brunch buffet that kicked ass. There was even a video arcade on the bottom floor. Also on the bottom floor of the dining area they had a telephone at each table and you could call up the diners at other tables to chat or, ahem, hit on them, or whatever. That place got closed down in favor of bigger corporate interests years ago.

My first trip to Texas, the 80s, in some big hotel conference center in Dallas flogging whatever I was selling back then.

After two days I don't think I'd stepped outside, so I grabbed the van and rolled off in a random direction (maybe ENE) until I was drifting through generic suburbs. Didn't want Mickey Ds or similar, but didn't see anything interesting. Finally saw some "Mexican" joint called Panchos. Went in.

Didn't understand whether it was cafeteria style or order after sitting down, so I asked the dude in front of me in the line. He was a smaller version of the Sam Elliott cowboy narrator from Big Lebowski, like a 5' 5" time traveller from the 1880s. He told me I'd get the first tray here, and it'd be about more than I could eat, then when I wanted more, I'd "raise the flag."

"Raise the flag?"

"Yep, just raise the flag."

Place was full. I spotted a cardboard flag that was almost as greasy as the food, lard-based concoctions of corn and beans that wasn't noticeably worse than other 1980s chain food. I forgot the Alamo, and raised the flag. Got more food. Eventually drove back into downtown Dallas and re-submerged into drop-ceilinged strip-lighting commercialism.

A couple years later I met some Mexican guys from Texas. Mentioned Panchos, got hooted at, mocked. "Panchos? Only white people eat at Panchos!"

I didn't tell them that the little cowboy and I had been the only white people I saw that day in a crowded Panchos.
