quiddities and agonies of the ruling class - a rolling new york times thread

there is bad bacon going around too. in cheap diners. horrible horrible bacon that tastes like death and deadly chemicals. must cost ten cents a pound. again i blame sysco or whatever bulk crap company makes that stuff. bacon is already deadly, no reason for it to taste deadly too.

crinkle cut have no purpose. regular fries or waffle fries or gtfo

scott is otm. I have a friend who go to go to a food distribution show for companies like sysco to sell restaurants their pre-made crap and it was all bizarro pseudo-food and prepackaged chicken cordon bleu and shit

there is more to the burger story:

Come to Fort Lee and try Five Guys. Their burger is a 2 patty affair. The fries are also terrific.

crinkle cuts are always cold

always

brownie otmfm

brownie have u been to Sweetie Fry in Cle Hts?

have you guys had those crunchy "seasoned" fries at a burger place before? they oughta be outlawed. so fucking bad. i'm outraged just thinking about them. i never should have thought of them.

One memorable night, I ate half a dozen burgers in Brooklyn and downtown Manhattan, traveling with a half-eaten Shake Shack burger in my pocket for reference purposes. (If you want to try it yourself, get a single burger, no cheese or other condiments. You’d be surprised how well it holds up to this kind of treatment.)

btw i am a huge pete wells fan for no other reason than the fact that he infuriates eater/chowhound commenters

i hope it was his back pocket.

did he eat all the burgers sans condiments n cheese im confused

i aways get the shack burger its p dope

they should have just had eric asimov do the regular reviews. he was fine.

are you saying his test was not scientific enough because he was comparing condimented burgers to a burger stuffed in his pocket

they should have isaac asimov do them i be hed come up w/some neat ideas

brownie have u been to Sweetie Fry in Cle Hts?

no! never even heard of it.

best clevo fries i've had are at sasa matsu on the square

he would def have a more scientific system. like he would put the other burgers in his pocket also. xp

it's on Lee Rd up the block from the Library. They do regular and sweet potato fries w/ a variety of dipping sauce options; and also a bunch of homemade ice creams. They had a Left Hand Milk Stout chocolate last month that was A+.

hmm

would clevo fap with brownie and phil d one day to conduct a scientific fries experiment.

I gave myself a double blind taste test by putting all the burgers in my pocket and pulling out burgers at random

hs, i will even wear my bills t-shirt

also will be wearing dayos's trousers

we can put fries in one pocket, dipping sauces in the other

I'm going to need more pockets

going cargo

I will have Rob Liefeld draw me a bunch of pouches for sauce storage.

:P

save pocket space for pierogies imo

She is currently a yoga teacher at Laughing Lotus Yoga Center in Manhattan and San Francisco, and an editor of gay romance novels. But there was also a two-year stint as an online celebrity gossip reporter and several years as a Latin instructor at Saint Ann’s School in Brooklyn. And she earned an M.F.A. in creative writing from Hunter College; she is in the beginning stages of writing a book about spiritual and emotional rebirth.

I stopped at "Laughing Lotus Yoga Center".

t/s that pararaph vs:

(Ms. Krause, 41, has a similarly eclectic résumé: born in Sweden and trained as an architect, she moved to New York in 1996 and worked as a dance instructor at Equinox gyms before starting a line of handbags. She and her business partner, Tracey Sawyer, founded their design firm, Krause + Sawyer, in 2010, but she still teaches a class at Equinox “for the joy of it.”)

How can a lotus laugh? Anthropomorphism has gone too far.

“It was the kind of apartment where you didn’t care if someone spilled red wine,” Ms. Stone said. “Now, no one is allowed in my bedroom with anything other than a clear liquid.”

are the best parts imo

That has a whiff of "dogs must be carried on escalator".

Mmm clear liquids.

This condo actually isn't too far off of my tastes. The text is a cautionary tale.

Also, not sure how I feel about a $6k rug

Now, no one is allowed in my bedroom with anything other than a clear liquid.

This seems like a rule that you get some sort of erotic thrill from violating.

Look I poured red wine on you! You can't move without it spilling on to your furnishings!

reminds me of a classic quiddities article from upthread:

Two of his favorites in New York are Sushi Yasuda and 15 East. They’re not cheap, but Mr. Gelb has some advice for those of us who can’t afford to achieve sushi satori on a weekly basis.

“Instead of eating sushi ten times a month, eat it one time a month, but pay ten times as much,” he told me. “That’s how you can really experience what sushi is about.”
