    Sometimes, all you need is a burger and fries.

    I would take Cliffy's sticky ribs and 'slaw, Gambs' butt rub and your burger and fries any day.  Thinking the burger needs cheese though.  I don't believe I have shared my love of cheese.  :lol:

    Yeah. I normally would put cheese on my burger but I made a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch and didn’t want to overdue it with the cheese today. I did put on lettuce, tomato, and avocado. So that was delish.

    Sticky ribs with an Asian slaw 


    I have got to get ribs this weekend. There is a bbq place in my neighborhood that will deliver. They have good slaw as well. This photo is making me hungry even though I literally just finished dinner.

    I got up at 3 to put that Boston Butt Pork Shoulder in the smoker.
    I was reading through some hardcore barbeque forums and thinking about it a fair bit yesterday, and I find it interesting that it's an entire field of gourmet cooking that is dominated by good old boys and gals.  
    It's sort of the polar opposite of culinary arts in the haute tradition, and it's very rural and experimental.  It's interesting, I love the blend of art and science that makes cooking good food so special.  A classically trained French pastry chef combines ingredients down to the gram, a sushi maestro massages octopus and practices perfect cuts, an Italian Grandma moves by taste and instinct, a pitmaster from years of experience experimenting with temperature, time, and method...none can do what the others have mastered. We live in a time when we can experience them all.

     I made my own rub, based off a basic Memphis rub recipe, and I'm going to make a classic Carolina thin vinegar sauce for finishing.  For slaw, I'm going with the KFC clone recipe because I just love it.  Might make some Mac n cheese for the wife and child, but that's just empty calories taking up room in my mouth that would be better filled with pork.

    Gambs I love the intent with which you approach food.  

    Juggs...five guys is ruined by their junk fries.
    I do like their burgers.
    Ever Red Robin?
    I'm a fan.  Casual sit-down chain usually means slop.  I feel like their burger game is pretty strong.
    (Especially if you communicate just how you like them done )

    Shake shack is pretty damn good.  

    My wife and friends would stab a fool over in n out but I found them to be average.  (Great fries, though)

    The dressing. Sesame oil, rice vinegar, sesame seed, soy sauce, etc.

    Banana bread with chocolate chips. Jury is still out on whether it will keep the bottom in the pan or if it will follow on with the rest of the loaf. Decided not to try to turn it out until it is completely cooled. Smells good!

    Thanks!  I definitely have a complicated and deep relationship with food lol
    If people frequent this thread but not the "shape up" thread they might be surprised to find that half the year I only eat 1 full meal/day lol

    There is a Shake Shack about a 5 minute walk from me. So good. If I didn’t have a burger last night I might be hitting that up. I might order from my neighborhood diner today. I want to make sure they are getting business. They make a mean turkey bacon club and pierogies. I could go for that.
