“We do things a little different around here.”
And then proceeds to do everything by the vanilla play book. Moreso for manbun burger places, but still works here.
“We do things a little different around here.”
Then proceeds to explain Tapas.
Or all you can eat with a tablet
Differently? Alright, what’s on tap?
“we serve coke products here, sir”
They charge differently maybe
This is what Mission BBQ is like, but add in the guilt trip to buy a $3 plastic drink cup “for the troops”. And the barbecue is not good. It’s not inedible or anything, it’s just that everything (including the sides) is loaded with sugar.
I had Mission BBQ onboard the US Ship Truman and did not pay anything so if you bought a cup thanks for your service. Like and unlike the Lincoln the total deployment time was 7 months with 2 port visits and in the gulf Arabian Sea the supply chain isnt always the most efficient.
I didn’t buy a cup FWIW. I assumed you guys were paid from the US military budget and hence from my taxes, not from Mission BBQ plastic cups.
There’s a bandannas bbq in town and I can get at least twice that amount of food for only $49.99
I mean the math does work out. Picture is $25, twice the amount of food for $50 is literally the same
Pickles? In this economy?
Oh if that’s what’s being served at $25 I’d wonder if I’m trapped on the Abraham Lincoln and just dissociating/imagining my daily life.
What is this? A meal on an Aircraft Carrier?
It’s the new barbecue place in town
The new barbecue place in town is a meme?
Yes
No, I heard those meals need to be “steamed” 🤪
Can’t be. Meat isn’t blue enough.
Couldn’t be, there’s protein on the plate
24 dollars? What? Does that come with a hand-job?
Where are you getting $24 handjobs?
Hey, I heard you have $24…
And it’s burning a hole in my pocket
It’s a quick handy, gotta maximize profits. A little rugburn is inevitable.
That’s actually the VD
From a handy?
Your mom
Finally, a career that I can excel at
Yes, but it’s not applied to your equipment, but rather your wallet.
Briskit is $40/lb at the last bbq place I went.
Which is insane. I remember 1/2 lb moist for $4.99. Brisket used to be a cheap meat because it was always thought horrendous, and smoking it was the only way to tenderize it enough to be palatable. Freaking ridiculous.
Second reference to a distinct “moist” brisket opinion. Wtf does that mean? I certainly don’t want it if it’s dry af!
So the brisket is generally an unappetizing piece of the cow corpse. A long time ago, some realized that slowly cooking it over a very long time, which has been ‘formalized’ into smoking it for 24 hours, makes the meat tender enough to eat. The brisket has different parts, some of which have more fat than others. The moist brisket is the portion where the fat is very thick. Generally the smoking process makes the fat shrink, but it’s still a significant portion of the meat. Think a layer cake where the icing is give or take 1/6 - 1/4 of the cake’s entire portion. That’s moist.
The lean brisket is usually where either the fat was thin enough to not be visible after the smoking, or it was deliberately scraped off before/during the smoking. The meat will not be dry like a piece of toast, but you won’t ever have a piece of fat in your mouth either. The way the particular bbq joint prepares it will differ, so assume these are broad strokes and not very specific designations.
Some people have preferences that are wild. My friend literally wants just the fat and will eat it like it’s candy, while my mother wants it the consistency of jerky.
Chicken wings is like 6pc for $10 and I didn’t smash enough of them when they were a quarter each, sadge
Which is weir, because chicken is one of the few items in the grocery store that I haven’t really seen a large increase in the price, and the all you can eat wings deals at restaurants have only slightly increased. Meanwhile, like you said, everything else that is chicken at a restaurant has noticeably risen.
all you can eat wings deals
Do restaurants still do that? I don’t think I’ve seen that deal in 10 years.
It’s spelled Brexit
There haven’t been a ton of bright spots moving back here to the south, but plenty of good bbq places is one of them.
Affording beef, in this economy? Fancy.
Rudy’s menu near me. 2.50 more for “moist”.
They are two different parts of the brisket. The “moist” is from the point which is fattier than the “lean” flat.
MOIST!
Always splurge for moist.
If you’re splurging and it’s not moist, you need to hydrate more
Yea, lemme get some dry brisket, because it’s good that way…
A half pound of coked ribs? That’s like 2 ribs.
I was about to grumble, but then I saw $3.49 for Cole slaw and can only believe this is a joke.
Depends ribs of what. Chicken ribs, you get lots of ribs. Beef ribs, only part of one. For babies, I guess it depends.
Rudy’s is good in a pinch but way better options across TX.
Ah yes the three item meal plus one other thing.
As a vegan, if you’re partaking of killing animals for their meat… and your result is that pathetic dry cut of flesh… it’s extra extra evil
At least make it worth it
As a non-vegan, I agree with you.
Yeah definitely, we should probably also use the other parts of meat too then. Do you have a newsletter?
Allegedly the USS Abraham Lincoln, perhaps even better conditions…
YUM
Nice sly reference to the company owning several well-known restaurant chains.
Yum! Brands, Inc. (sometimes called just Yum!) is an American multinational fast food corporation. Based in Louisville, Kentucky, the company operates KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Habit Burger & Grill, and several technology companies. Yum! is one of the world’s largest fast food restaurant companies in terms of system units. In 2016, Yum! had 43,617 restaurants, including 2,859 that were company-owned and 40,758 that were franchised, in 135 nations and territories worldwide.
They might not be updating their marketing materials.
I hear their tacos will change your life.
Yum! used to be Pepsi’s fast food division.
That’s like 16 Costco hotdog meals.
More like 15 here, sales tax sucks in WA
10.4% last I checked. Nice and regressive.
10.55% combined state + county + city in Seattle.
It’s somewhat made up for by there being no state income tax, but it is still among the highest sales tax rates
Yeah it’s great for people making six figures and not cashing in over $278k/yr. in long term capital gains
I hope you don’t like schools or an educated population
Sales tax is regressive.
