a friend of mine has a "you might be white if ..." comedy routine involving bakesale betty's chicken sandwich
― sarahel, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 21:53 (fifteen years ago)
It is seriously tasty tho

it's ok, but you can make something just as good on your own
― sarahel, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 21:55 (fifteen years ago)
What does that have to do with anything.

Is Everett & Jones still great

it has to do w/the fact that the bakesale betty chicken sandwich is not some magical foodstuff, and fuck waiting in line for one!

I had one when we were recording in Oakland last month. it was allright. I didn't really see the point of putting fried chicken in a sandwich - like, fried chicken doesn't need the addition of bread and lettuce and mayo to be good. just made it super-heavy. but it tasted okay.
― Major Lolzer (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 22:44 (fifteen years ago)
there is no mayo on the bakesale betty's sandwich - it's coleslaw
― sarahel, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 22:45 (fifteen years ago)
whatever I just ate it I didn't order it or watch it's preparation
― Major Lolzer (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 22:48 (fifteen years ago)
I waited for like 5 minutes last time I got one, but I guess I could've made my own fried chicken sandwich in five minutes using my five minute fried chicken recipe.

I <3 sarahel but not as much as I like sandwiches.

arguing about bakesale betty's chicken sandwich is the oakland equiv of Cancun vs. Pancho Villa
― sarahel, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 22:50 (fifteen years ago)
Cancun all the way
― some kind of sickening...fedora (admrl), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 22:52 (fifteen years ago)

― sarahel, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 22:53 (fifteen years ago)
man i used to love breads of india - haven't been there in years, tho. that and pho 84 are arguments in favor of moving back to teh east bay.
― richie aprile (rockapads), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 22:54 (fifteen years ago)

― is breads of india still tite (admrl), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 22:55 (fifteen years ago)
Haha where is the SF/food thread where we had a huge argument about whether it is douchey to order Mexican food in Spanish if you are white?
― is breads of india still tite (admrl), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 22:56 (fifteen years ago)
Battambang is pretty awesome too; also late night sushi
― sarahel, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 22:57 (fifteen years ago)
Cambodian?
― is breads of india still tite (admrl), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 22:58 (fifteen years ago)
There is a Battambang in Alhambra that is just the worst
and about 90% of all of Oakland is built on land that would liquify during a major earthquake on the Hayward Fault
pac bell park/China Basin area, most of the mission, the marina = all landfill, too
slightly ot xpost

that 90% of oakland is landfill is total BS, unless that person meant emeryville, port of oakland and or alameda.

i didnt mean to malign oakland talkin abt the cops; i love working downtown here, and most of me and annie's friends out here live in and around lakeshore -- just the OPD is fucked up.
here are some food opinions:
never been to pancho villa; too busy at cancun and metate and vallarta.
also both bakesale betty's locations have a ton of non-white non-yuppie customers; shit is popular.
also i want to eat at lois the pie queen so so so bad right now.
ordering in spanish is fine and not douchey, as long as youre not a general douche.
battambang is aight.
lynn and lu's breakfast is A++
― 69, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 23:01 (fifteen years ago)
alameda is stupid except for grabbin cheap records at the flea market and doesnt have any records so dont bother
― 69, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 23:02 (fifteen years ago)
awwww Lois The Pie Queen love that place
― is breads of india still tite (admrl), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 23:02 (fifteen years ago)
Honestly do not remember the food but I just love hanging out in there
also cam huong can u hear me? where my shan dong?
― 69, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 23:03 (fifteen years ago)

― no turkey unless it's a club sandwich (polyphonic), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 23:04 (fifteen years ago)
alameda has forbidden island
― sarahel, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 23:05 (fifteen years ago)

― 69, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 23:06 (fifteen years ago)

Forbidden Island has really good bar food, besides having awesome drinks
― sarahel, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 23:10 (fifteen years ago)

― 69, Tuesday, 13 July 2010 23:11 (fifteen years ago)

This place is a shell of itself now.
― no turkey unless it's a club sandwich (polyphonic), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 23:11 (fifteen years ago)
that was the first place I ever had Thai food, about 10 yrs ago. nothing I've had since has ever really lived up to it.
― richie aprile (rockapads), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 23:13 (fifteen years ago)
Haha, sorry... it has been a while for me too.

They did make the best Thai you could get for years, and I'm sure they still have good weekends. But if I'm going to wait for an hour I want consistency.
― no turkey unless it's a club sandwich (polyphonic), Tuesday, 13 July 2010 23:16 (fifteen years ago)
