oj and chicken cutlets are as perfect as meatballs made with grape jelly. Don't knock til you try!

― Portable Dorkness (Dick Butkus), Monday, 23 October 2006 02:09 (seventeen years ago) link

I once saw an employee at the WTC Sbarro pouring orange juice over chicken cutlets, apparently because he thought the juice would make them more tender.

there's some truth to this -- all marinades are acidic, and they make meat tender as well as add flavor. but there has to be more than just orange juice in the marinade. also it does have to sit for a few hours.

The OJ idea sounds like something I'd come up with in one of my weirder food-crave moments, but the cutlets, IIRC, were already soaked in tomato sauce and cheese, and the OJ was that nasty reconstituted stuff that comes from the fountains, so I imagined they'd probably taste both cloying and corrosively acidic.

sbarro meets dr. strongo's neuvo cuisine thread?!?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Monday, 23 October 2006 02:31 (seventeen years ago) link

My mom used to use orange juice in chicken marinades - but yeah, combined with tomato that sounds foul.

― A-ron Hubbard (Hurting), Monday, 23 October 2006 02:49 (seventeen years ago) link

was he pouring it over the cutlets that were already cooked and sitting in the serving trays? that sounds like something a sbarro employee might do. i have used orange juice in fish marinade before - pretty good, but somehow i have the feeling that whatever this dude was doing probably didn't fall under the acceptable usages of orange juice in meat preparation. i'd think they get the cutlets pre-cooked and just reheat them or something since it is fast food and all.

I think the Westlake Center Mall Sbarro's is probably the worst food on the planet where money is exchanged.

there was a certain heaviness in the teenage gut tho that made that place make sense

― jergins (jergins), Monday, 23 October 2006 06:31 (seventeen years ago) link

I think it's the big bright Italian colors over the heated objects that's supposed to the food. Sbarro has a good outer frame.

I met a friend in Brussels once, who took us out for a slap up feed. In a Sbarro under a train station. We drank beer from a vending machine.

i don't remember doing so, but it's possible - i spent a summer commuting through there. i ate sbarro LAST NIGHT tho. broccoli/spinach/tomato pizza, and it wasn't terrible.

I'm trying to avoid the much better cafeteria pizza at work just for health reasons, and this thread being alive is honestly helping me from eating pizza bigtime. Please keep it up! :D

btw, chicken marinated in orange juice isn't all that out of the ordinary

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 24 October 2006 04:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Hmmm, just imagine the suction sound of that Minute Maid orange juice concentrate leaving its frosty paper container, hittin' that ravine of soggy Swanson's flash thawed fried chicken cutlets in that pool of dilute tomato water.

yeah -- after being stuck in stockton, ca (i.e., the armpit of CA) for a month now i can see why people who don't know better or have no better option would go apeshit over this place!

― Eisbaer, Thursday, 23 October 2008 04:19 (fifteen years ago) link

eh i mean most airports if they aren't new/updated have a burger king/mcdonalds, a sbarro and some type of "deli" place and maybe something "ethnic" like bad chinese or bad mexican and ill probably choose a hueg thin slice of pizza every time

― jordan s (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 23 October 2008 04:20 (fifteen years ago) link

ive never seen sbarro outside of a food court situation though
