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.

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.

David Chang is going to sue you for using his trademarked term "chili crisp".

These chili crisps are my favorites from HEB, not too spicy but really good flavor.  They do have an Extra spicy one but I haven’t tried it yet.

I will admit, though, that the sushi counter in the Rundberg HEB is hilarious. The Asians who work it have a "Why are we here?" look on their faces. 

The spicy guacamole/al pastor rolls are pretty good though.

Yeah....and they're utterly mid.  The ones at Asahi imports are cheaper, and damned good.  

Sorry, these are a "miss" for HEB.

I know this sounds unbelievable but Costco now has sushi and it's good.  They have nigiri, sashimi and poke.  The sashimi isn't cheap.  I think it was 4 pieces of salmon, 4 pieces of Tuna and 4 pieces of yellowtail for $37.

I've had their poke, it's damned good.  We got a sushi tray from a Costco in SOCAL a few years ago on a family vacation, and it was at least as good as the HEB sushi, probably better (I dunno, I ate it on the deck while drinking beer and watching the surf, I wasn't being picky).

Bought the 1lb of Poke expecting my teenage son to be home to split.  Got home and wife reminded me he was in Kingsland for the weekend.  Wife and I cashed a pound of tuna Poke. It was well worth $17.
