Jazz and Knicks discussing Donovan Mitchell trade per Shams Charania and Tony Jones

You gotta try what I said.

I just put aioli sauce on my list when I go grocery shopping tomorrow. Any specific type? I see a garlic aioli one and some others.
Aioli is super easy to make at home. A lot of recipes start with raw egg but you can basically just use mayo, lemon juice and garlic mixed together and you have standard aioli. I make a cilantro-lime aioli to go on breaded and fried tilapia and it's a hit.

Bro, not worth my time. I’ll spend the $4-6 on a bottle.
 
You'd get a better end result but that's fine if you don't like nice things.

I love nice things but there are so many “gourmet” condiments out there nowadays that are damn good. Could I make one better than that? Maybe, maybe not. If I did it a few times and tinkered with it, then at some point, sure . And it would be fresh. But then what? I have to eat all the aioli I made on every meal for the next 3-5 days just to use it all before it goes bad. Meh. I have a bad back and hunching over and making something like that is no bueno.
 
I need to circle back to the BK’s French fries. They’re not only not great, they’re some of the worst around. McDonalds, Chick Fila, Wendy’s (though by me they put way too much salt on them), Sonic (tater tots!) and pretty much every other place I’ve been to has better fries.

Sonics fries and Wendy’s fries are meh.

I said tater tots for Sonic. And Wendy’s are better and it’s not close and I don’t even love them…but there’s really flavor. BK’s are so small and overcooked and fairly dry or something that they taste like idk, canola oil or something.
 
Just wanna say a few things.

I’ve done JuCo (SLCC) and University (The U) and maybe it’s because I switched fields (pre-med at SLCC and Econ/PoliSci at the U), but I don’t find University any more difficult. Maybe even easier, honestly. Prestige is bull **** but it matters which is why I went to the U.

I’m a ****** vegan and am very happy that I can have fast food of any substance now (due to the emergence of Beyond and Impossible “meats”). It is an absolute god-send when traveling.

I’m a little sad that there isn’t anything that really approximates Arby’s. Hot tip: you’ll probably get the best roast beef late in the evening or early in day because the roasts on the slicer at those times have sat in a sham (like a steamer that’s just supposed to keep them warm, but ends up really softening and moistening the meat over time) the longest on average. I worked there for a while and the variance you get with the meat between one fresh out of the oven (rubbery and frankly disgusting, this is most likely to occur during lunch rush) vs stewing in the sham all night (melts in your mouth awesomeness) is night and day.
I worked at a Dominos for a couple of years and one of my managers loved to put meat on people's pizza he knew were vegan. He would do like one tiny piece. Dude was one of the dumbest people I've ever known.
 
I don't get the mania for a chicken sandwich that is 2 pieces of dry bread, a single slice of pickle, and a dry overcooked hunk of chicken. Dry as a wad of paper towels. And their sauce is sickly sweet and cloying. Overall just yuck.

And don't get me started on in'n'out. Since I've moved to Cali I've had far more of that in work lunches and such than I care to remember. Burger is unremarkable unless you go all "secret menu" on it, and the fries are like little sticks of powdered potatoes that haven't been fully reconstituted. It's a special talent to ruin fresh cut potatoes like that. Ugh.
I think the consistency is key at Chick Fil A. But the sandwich does need mayo, sauce, something.

I agree 100% about In and Out. Nothing special except the price point is pretty good.
