@Tago-Mago Two of those 11.5% beers do not count as two beers.

@Mizmazzle Hell yea brother!

My happy place is a California burrito:
Carne, French fries or potatoes, cheese and sour cream.
Some people do pico and guacamole, I’m allergic to avocado and can’t do cilantro.

@goosehd 12oz is 12oz!!! Hahaha

@Danimal506 ...there are some breathalyzer machines that would debate that point...

I once had one of those heavy hitting beers on an empty stomach and felt tipsy before I got to the end of the first glass. The second one though went down much smoother.

@seawolf can I horde in on that invite too?? Making my mouth water over here.

@Tago-Mago more blue crabs out that way.

His *current state of residence, New Mexico, has some of my favorite regional cuisine in the States, especially in the north of the state. Simple and delicious. Stacked blue corn adobada enchiladas and Hatch chile stew changed my life.

[goosehd]

@mclaincausey he moved back to Maryland...

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd you and I have to read everything @Matt posts, @mclaincausey can just ignore him if he so chooses

Speaking of Maryland and blue crabs, this may be an unpopular opinion: Chesapeake blue crabs is the #1 national seafood dish, and Old Bay is a better condiment that ketchup.

[Matt]

I wouldn’t argue that.

[steelworker]

Marylanders are delusional regarding Old Bay and crabs are a social affliction.

Unpopular opinion: eating blue crabs sucks. Sorry @WhiskeySandwich

It's the messiest food ever, and the juice isn't worth the squeeze. If I'm working for 30 minutes to get two tiny bites of food, I'm not having fun. I'm with @steelworker on this one. Just get a lobster and move on with your life.

Here's another unpopular opinion: I think a hotdog is a sandwich.

Dude. Yes. Same. Green or red sauce?

[pechelman]

@seawolf, there is no thinking on this; it IS a sandwich. This is fact.

[mclaincausey]

I grew up in the Deep South where blue crab is also revered. But stepping outside of prejudices, it is way down the list of shellfish. That’s why Atlantic coast people have to put Old Bay on it and southerners Tony Chachere’s. It’s just not that flavorful on its own and needs help. And yes it’s a pain in the ass to eat.

My (incomplete) shellfish hierarchy is something like:
Stone crab claws: the mustard sauce is great but you don’t need it or anything else for them to be delicious
King crab: excellent naked but drawn butter is welcome
Snow crab
Oysters
Dungeness crab
Lobster
Langostines
Crawfish
Shrimp
Blue crab

It’s not especially helpful to think of a hotdog or for that matter a burger as a sandwich when there is a specific term for it but sure, technically call it a sandwich if you must.
