I used to shop at the Far West HEB when I lived in Northwest Hills, and the kosher deli there made kick-ass sandwiches. The egg salad slapped.

Yeah, but it's limited, for obvious reasons.  (No cheeseburgers, pork, etc.)

I use my toaster as much as directly on the fire on my gas stove. Both work well, less chance of burning in the toaster when putting other ingredients together at the same time. Way more than 8-10 seconds though. Usually 20-30 seconds and then I pull it out and flip it over so both ends get high heat (they stick out the top an inch or two). As the first side starts to slide down it’s ready to flip, then the other side goes until it starts to puff up and then it comes out.

OK, the toaster method is regarded beyond words.  

Well now, you have to give credit for being authentically surly

Next you're going to tell me that the toaster isnt the best option to dry my socks right out of the laundry.

No, but it makes a great bath toy, especially if it’s plugged in.

I didn't realize it was a small chain.  Apparently they sold (sell?) them at Antone's Night Club, too.

I thought he was the brother that was kicked out of the Sammich/Meats business.  The one in Houston was pretty good back in the day.  I didn't know they still sold them anywhere.

Not being able to use any tool at your disposal to get the job done is regarded. Nobody needs a comal to reheat tortillas they bought at the store, you fucking hipster.

I guess no one needs to toast beard either, but it’s good

*upon reread, fuck no you don’t need a comal. Built in stove top griddle better anyway

What's the next best thing to Momofuku Chili Crunch?  $13 for a 5oz is ridiculous and I'm not trying to give David Chang any more money.

This is what I'm currently using, but it's not the same.

I think the toaster thing is what Torchy's does. 

I think when a comal isn't available the go-to Mexican move is just throw that shit right on the burner.

It ain’t HEB, and it’s not exactly the same….but I actually may like it better:

Made a simple stir fry the other night, sprinkled that liberally on top, and it was amazing.

You know how I know you've never had chili crisp?

I know what chili crisp is but it serves basically the same purpose as that garlic-chili sauce. Was just mentioning an alternative.
