Fast Food - A "Guilty" Pleasure….

@mclaincausey
agree 100%. Feed lots are all carbs/corn to fatten the cattle. Does the same thing to us. Have you read the newest update on the weight and height of the average American. It’s astonishing. My biggest problem is that I like beer. Not exactly no grain no sugar.With you on the beer. Looked up the update you mentioned. Wow.

Not only is it sad for those who will suffer through metabolic diseases and their loved ones, it's sad for society as a whole, which will bear the economic burden of this disease.

I could only eat 5. Soon my size ups will be size downs. Thank God I am going back to work next week.

Houston Hobby airport, terminal E, really excellent food. Except the bread was pretty cold and gross.
-
Yeah, terminal E has some of the better restaurants at Hobby. There's a Niko Niko's over there, right? If you like Greek food, you should definitely go there the next time you're passing through.

That looks tasty. There are a couple of bbq places in town I want to check out specifically for the brisket [emoji1786]

Man, Penn Station has the best Italian Sub I have ever eaten!! Holy smokes!
-
I just ate Chick-Fil-A for the first time a few weeks ago. It was fine. Not a fast food eater so that may be my problem.

Pastrami on burgers should be more common.
-
There's a place on the beach in San Louis Opisbo, California called Mr. Pete's that puts pastrami on their burgers. So good.
Five guys

Five guys is great!
Let's talk about that tomato pulls up soapbox and steps up. I haven't had a decent tomato that wasn't homegrown or purchased at a farmer's market in over 20 years. Fast food and mid-range restaurants aren't using tomatoes, yet people still ask for them. I actually love a tomato slice on my burger, but the plasticky, anemic, pink slices of so-called tomato aren't worth it. Why do we tolerate shitty tomatoes? We need to vote with our wallets.
Or maybe you enjoyed that tomato slice? If so, more power to you.
Grape tomatoes are the last good ubiquitous tomatoes. I'm sure we'll find a way to screw those up too.

@seawolf I have had some good tomatoes in Florida and also in South America recently. It is that they are all GMO and out of season now.
-
Why they specially engineered a 90% core tomato for use in fast food sandwiches is beyond me.
I haven’t knowingly eaten an unprocessed tomato since my honeymoon in Greece (in 2013). Unless you can show me where you grew it I’m not interested. Even those would probably be a poor facimile of a Greek tomato.

Crown Burger here does pastrami on their burgers, and they also have steak fries as pictured above.
While I do enjoy it, I normally go double bacon cheeseburger there.

Yep! Can't wait for summer. That's when we should be eating tomatoes

There's nothing quite like a good tomato.
-
I eat tomatoes year-round, if you count processed tomatoes for things like Bolognese
There are some great growers around here and we hope to join them in 2020. Nothing like my wife's tomato pie made from home grown maters.

sliced tomatoes and Old Home cottage cheese = yum
