Wing Stop has my favorite ranch. Probably the best thing about the place.

Make your own ranch with a packet, it takes 5 seconds.

I think ordering a steak out is silly 80% of the time. Most competent people can make something comparable with minimal practice/one read through the steak thread here. The same can’t be said for a lot of other dishes.

My beer taste may be stuck in 1993, but I have no problem saying that a plain ol' American Amber Ale is as good as it gets.  Full Sail, Anderson Valley Boont, Sam Adams Boston Ale, Creature Comforts Reclaimed Rye - could drink nothing but those and be happy.  No need for the super hopped-up stuff.

[Rimbo 25976]

I need more shrimp in my diet. It's a helluva food.

Give me Black's in Lockhart over Franklin's any day.

Line independent? That’s an impossible position to take.

Pretty much any store bought ranch is dogshit.  Ken's Steakhouse Ranch is passable.  Barely.

This variety is damn solid.

Also a fan of this (as a dip/condiment, not a dressing)

Sam Adams Boston Ale has always been a relatively underrated beer.  Not a huge Sam Adams guy, but I've enjoyed that one a few times.

It's too damn early to be as hungry as you're making me.

However, as much as I love Old Dutch, you can't beat Dean's + these:

[utee94 15832]

I like the Boston Ale, can't stand the Boston Lager.

[Cousin Strawberry 1261]

Icing is the worst part of cake or cupcakes and they would both be better without it.

 

 

[hopkinsnhorns 533]

It's critical to have the right ratio of icing to cake.  A little bit goes a long ways.  Too often nowadays cakes/cupcakes are slathered with an inch of frosting.  No one over the age of 10 wants that shit, unless it's coconut pecan frosting on a German Chocolate cake.

i used to get dean's until i bought helluva good.  that stuff is legit. 

bulk ingredients in dean's: skim milk, whey (milk), palm oil, water,

bulk ingredients in helluva good: CULTURED PASTEURIZED MILK, CREAM AND NONFAT MILK,

Pterry's is not good.  Taco Ranch is worse.

Not sure how Taco Ranch stays N Business. Terrible

I'd take a P Terry's burger and chocolate shake over damn near any other quick service establishment in Texas.  That's one of the things I miss most from Austin, and I'm sure to stop there at least once every month or so when I stop by.  The only knock on them is the drive-thru only locations.  How the fuck am I supposed to eat a greasy burger in my car?

[Paco 1934]

The first time I had P Terry's was years ago not long after the one on Barton springs. I went through the drive thru and then parked over by Butler pitch n putt to eat. Homeless dude walks up asking for money. I said nope, but you're welcome to these (nasty) fries if you're hungry. He asked if they were from P Terry's. Yep. He says no thanks and walked away. Csb.

[HornsOverIthaca 2334]

I’m not sure I’ve ever come across a ranch I didn’t like.

[Deej 76830]

P. Terry's fries are like those canned shoestring potatoes, if you left them to soak in cold fryer grease. Awful.

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

P Terry’s is extremely overrated. Only thing really worth the praise is their shakes.

The jalapeño ranch they have is quite tasty.

I've always had my CFS with brown gravy and lemon. I find you white gravy devotees little better than rank ruffians.

[utee94 15832]

Chicken fried steak should have yellow gravy and should be ordered at The Stallion.

I am equal opportunity and like pretty much any gravy with CFS.  If forced to choose, I would choose gravy spiked with jalapeño or green Chile.

I...it’s like...but....I don’t even know you anymore, man.

[Henry Hill 3156]

Worst CFS I’ve ever had was at Fred’s in Ft. Worth. Not sure if it was an off day but it was damn near inedible. Still ate it but hated myself a little more for it.

[spystud13 2371]

Damn, that is surprising to hear. They usually don’t fuck around, badass burgers too. 

[elfenix 34312]

i prefer CFS gravy on the side so the crust doesn't get soggy

Agreed. Dip each cut.

[Junior Miller 1502]

Hopdoddys sucks ass. 

Five Guys is the most ridiculously expensive overrated garbage burger. 

Truly Authentic Chinese food sucks ass. Give me General Tso's and Szechuan Chicken all day. 

Thai is the best Asian food

Saltgrass is overrated over priced and mediocre (except for one thing - Range Rattlers)

Pappadeaux used to be great but has jacked it's prices up by like 70 percent over the last 8 years and now is just laughably over priced. 

Indian food is the worst food. Smells the worst too.

I would LOVE to see what group you hang out with that necessitates you EVER needing to defend your opinion about fucking Saltgrass.

I don't really hear any one praise Saltgrass to where it would be overrated. It's your typical chain restaurant quality food. Nothing special about it at all. I ate there last year for Mother's on a family gathering and it was pretty meh. Texas Roadhouse is much better.

i've been liking near rotten bananas lately.  if they're a little boozy that's perfect.

Those are the best bananas to use for banana pudding and banana nut bread.

Any icing with shortening I agree. All butter cream icing I'll fight Vic's harem for it.

Bananas are disgusting in all forms-green, near rotten, pudding, nut bread, you name it. Their revoltingly mushy texture is complemented perfectly by their nauseating flavor.

[Underdog 28711]

No.

Agree with way above. Coffee is burnt tire water. I only drink it to wake up.

[Junior Miller 1502]

For people who don't like coffee buy a bag of medium or light roast from La Columbe online and try that. I hated coffee my whole life and discovered it's because all the garbage you buy at the grocery store or restaurants/Starbucks is burnt, low quality shit. Then I tried making some really high quality single origin sourced coffee in a light roast and with just a splash of milk/half and half it's great.
