The first question, all the time!

[demik]

ive learned that i love garlic bread.

ive learned that i love garlic bread.

Ever been to the Gilroy garlic festival?

The first question, all the time!

This will probably sound silly to you, but as a Chicago "native" (born in a hospital outside Chicago) living in the west coast, I really miss a good deep dish pizza and those hot dogs.

[demik]

I have not! I've gone by there a lot though. Funny thing is, I don't like garlic on anything. But I love garlic bread.

Ugh, now I really want some garlic bread .

I've always wanted to try human flesh. Not like an entire meal, just a taste to satisfy my curiosity. Maybe a nice cut from the buttocks, I hear it tastes like pork

Forgot to add slightly* because I was thinking of pizza.
My parents lived in Chicago but the hospital they choose wasn't.

You've come to the right place! Who wants to send some sacrificial human buttock to our dear patient?

We have an amazing poutine place here in Timmins. And I'm a Canadian so I have tried many a poutine in my day from many places. I know some people from Vancouver who make sure they get it when they are here. You could ask for dill cheese curds or BBQ cheese curds that are made fresh a few hours out of town. Add bacon, add fried onions, add whatever you want. They will literally chop up a whole burger and add it in if you asked.

it seems like "a few hours out of town" is a short distance in canada

[YoungMichael88]

well you can drive all the way through my town in about 20 mins from one side to the other and where I live I can be out of town in about 2 minutes flat. So from there it's open highway in all directions. So distance wise it's far enough I guess.

I just looked up poutine...I don't know why I've never heard of that.  It sounds delicious.

My new favourite Dominos pizza:

Pineapple
Chorizo sausage
Garlic butter
BBQ sauce base and BBQ cheese stuffed crust

**** the pineapple pizza haters, and I thought garlic butter was weird the first time I was recommended it, but hot damn it was good...

Q.  Ever wanted to try something but couldn't because you live in the middle of nowhere?
A.  No, I live in the center of everywhere.

Q.  Ever wished the guy or gal working out next to you in the gym didn't smell like his/her lunch?
A.  Yes, but because I'm a New Yorker I'm never afraid to tell them that they stink. 

Q.  Ever had an inexplicable craving for food you saw on the food network?
A.  Not really, but I have wanted to try some of those places Guy Fieri finds.

Q.  Ever been an expat in a foreign country?
A.  Of course.

Q.  Ever miss that regional specialty only found in your hometown?
A.  Well, tbh, I do miss the cronut when I leave NYC.

Q.  Ever had to kiss a garlic lover?
A.  No.

Q.  Ever wanted to smack yourself for relying on yelp?
A.  LOL, yelp.  Wait, were you serious?  Just remember who writes the reviews on yelp:  the public.  Yes, the untrained, unsophisticated, uncultured yokels of yelp.  Typical Yelp review:  I loved this place in the big city that I went to!  The brick oven pizza was black on the bottom and cold on the top.  The waiter told me that's the way it's supposed to be.  I'm a bumpkin from the boondocks, so I believed him.  And I loved it!  You should go here and pay $50 for a cold, black pizza.  Soooo good.  ummy in my tummy.

Living in a small ****ty town in Ontario sucks for food. I dream of bigger cities with a plethora of huge grocery stores...and Asian groceries, oh how I miss those.

Chez Nous is only good a) when you are super drunk or b) when you are super stoned. Otherwise it's just some greazy ****. The options are nice, but meh. The new McDonalds poutine is strangely delicious..them shoestring fries at a 1/1 ratio to the cheese.

And do not forget the cottage poutine YM, you cannot deny the extravagant orgasmic poutines that we have crafted out there!

Oh yes, I haven't forgotten the cottage poutines we made. Fried mushrooms, onion, bacon. Different gravies and fresh outdoor deep fry fries. What else did we put in there? Steak. I remember one time we had steak in it.

Mmm..all these Poutine pictures. Haven't had one in a while. I don't understand why Americans don't have poutine still...it's so easy to make. It's literally 3 ingredients tossed together. Fries, Gravy, Cheese curds.

Finally got my fix :D

You can't see it in the picture, but in the lower layers of fries there is guacamole, sour cream, refried beans, and of course I added the red and green salsa along with lime.  Normally I'll make a Michelada to go along with these, but I don't have any Clamato or Modelo handy, so beer made with with toasted coconut added will have to do.


To those not fortunate to live in a part of the world where you can get these:

What I want more than anything in the world right now is some quality sushi. Went to Japan this summer and lived on sushi and ramen (something else that can be hard to get good in the US). You'd think living in VA bout  an hour or so off the coast you could get good stuff here but nope. Or some kobe beef. Man I wished I lived in japan 

[quickcrx702]

You can make semi good ramen yourself.  Just buy miso paste, fresh(not dry) angel hair pasta - you can find this at some of the better grocery stores, eggs, and whatever else you want to add.  Just boil water, add miso paste along with whatever else you want in the broth, then finally add the fresh noodles and cook for 45 seconds to a minute.  I've also been to Japan, and the ramen I just described isn't nearly as good, but it's 100x better than the ten for a dollar kind.  I'm mostly referring to the quality of the noodles, the texture from using fresh noodles vs dry, though making your own miso broth tastes better too.  Aside from the texture, you don't also have to deal with the calories that come from the deep frying process used to dry the noodles in 99% of common ramen brands.

The grocer didn't have the mallow treat ones though. Probably a good thing.
