Your unpopular food opinions

[Ths71 472]

Yep. I don't care it is right out of the tree boiled up fresh in a shed out back. Maple is a horribe flavor. 

That reminds me. I love these.

Yeah I dont get the rib eye > filet crowd.
A filet is a fucking filet and when done right is the best steak you can get imo

Theres a reason most filets are served with sauce

Really?

Steak au poivre or sauce bearnaise doesnt ring any bells.

Probably the 2 most common ways a filet is served in any decent steakhouse or restaurant, or the chain driven wrapped in bacon.

I can dig a filet from time to time but due to how lean it is it lacks the flavor of a rib eye and strip

Not sure what kind of sizzler bonanza salt grass shit you’re eating at, but every good restaurant that serves those steak toppings has it available as an add-on to any of their steaks...not just the filets.  You should should try a “decent steakhouse” sometime

 Wings =  Fried chicken with less chicken per bite and batter so bland they need a bunch of bullshit flavored sauces to liven it up.  Plain old fried chicken legs and thighs from any decent place is far superior. 

[Parliament 14357]

Regular fried chicken legs with Tabasco dribbled onto each bite. Tastes good.

[Surly Bevo 25318]

Regular tabasco isn't much of a hot sauce but as an addition a drink it's fantastic....the vinegar is key there.  

 

For a great summer drink, tall Yeti, fill 2/3 with Deep Eddy Grapefruit top off with 7-Up add 3-5 splashes of tabasco.  

 

To make this an unpopular opinion Monsanto has improved the lives of the average American

Pretty much this. I think of wings like crawfish, it's a snack, and you shouldn't pay entree prices for it.

You know that first time you have really good brisket? If you ever try twice fried wings, the ones they do in Korea, it's the same experience. I'm not arguing that american style reaches that level, it doesn't. But chicken wings fried twice is fucking magical.

[Hank_Hill 18949]

While I know what you’re referring to and it is different, most decent wing places fry their wings twice

Best wings I've ever had - sous vide and then fried at the end.

Life's too damn short and fragile to be worried about spending 10-13 dollars on a batch of wings that you didn't need to make, served on dishes you didn't need to clean, washed down with a tall beer you didn't need to pour while watching sports you didn't need to play

You talking cream gravy on CFS and chicken fried chicken?  You mean, proof of the divine as well?

Wanna take your life to 11?  Sprinkle some Louisiana hot sauce (I'm a Crystal man) onto your cream gravy over your CFS.  The angels will sing, women's skirts will seem shorter to you, the sun will shine brighter...it's life-affirming shit, man.

[Loco 3754]

My old southern granny used to make the most incredible fried chicken, and I would sit in horror, trying in vein to dissolve sugar granules in cold iced tea, as my grandfather would pour that nasty stuff over gloriously crisp fresh fried chicken....  It made me hope I was adopted

 

also...  unless your chicken was pan fried in a cast iron skillet, you're doing it wrong

I waited tables at a Black-Eyed Pea in Pasadena one summer. They had a smoking section. I don’t think a further explanation of what I was dealing with is necessary here. There were three dishes ordered in that section at what had to be an 80% clip of what was ordered back there daily. 1) CFS or 2) Pot Roast or 3) Meat Loaf. Chain smoking was a given as one of the sides.

With any one of those, mashed potatoes and coffee were constants as accoutrements, whether lunch or dinner. If the CFS was ordered though? It was almost certainly bathed, and I mean fucking soaked, in Tobasco and/or Louisiana Hot Sauce. 

Working in that section was a lesson in people watching and behaviors, but picking up the hot sauce on cream gravy trick (although not bathing CFS in it) was well worth it. 

Also, I’ve discovered that most of the people I dealt with during that time had offspring that eventually wound up posting as regulars on the Movies & TV board on Surly.

I waited tables at Convict Hill restaurant in the summer of 89.  Was hotter than hell that summer.  When I worked the lunch shift, we drew a lot of blue collar types from the nearby Motorola facility.  They invariably ordered the lunch special: a CFS, mashed potatoes, salad with ranch.  Some of them did the hot sauce routine.  But ALL of them ordered coffee.  It puzzled me, it still does (and I'm a coffee drinker).  It was 104 outside....and they all drank coffee instead of iced tea.

 Spectacular thread. 

Filet>Ribeye>All other forms of steak.  

Indian>Thai>Vietnamese>Chinese

Eating more than 4oz of brisket at one setting is doing it wrong 

Baby back pork ribs are fantastic   Beef ribs are horrible   

Raw onions and green peppers should be abolished.  

Bacon is a side for breakfast and BLTs and should never be paired with any other food.  

For the margarita snobs (although I agree on the rocks is better):

1 Can Frozen  Limeaid then use empty can for the following:

1 Can Tequila

1 Can Beer (no IPA)

1/2 Can Triple Sec

Ice

[UT Lax 16]

This will be popular here, but not to NYC foodies:  Texas brisket is the hardest dish to perfect in the world.  You can teach Aaron Franklin to cook the best dishes by Arnaud Donckele, Michael Troisgros, Allaine Ducasse, Gordon Ramsay, etc do, but you will immediately chop up their shit brisket and smother it in sauce if these "World's Greatest Chefs" had to cook 10,660 lbs of brisket a week by "feel".
