In N Out Burger question for a newbie
In 'N' Out's patty is the same size it's always been.
The Habit
Which two locations? At that price point what do you consider a better burger?
Alcohol free Beef Bourguignon?
Per other posters, you may be able to find another dish using beef that is to your liking, but making this dish without the wine constitutes this no longer being the dish in question. It is essential.
In-N-Out Burger sucks (moved from L.A. board)
Read it again. He/she is not really agreeing with you.
Carls Jr The Big Carl?
Just ask them to add pickles and onions. They will do it no questions asked (and no charge).
For quick take out fried ckn in Berkeley - TC or Popeyes?
Why is the $0.99 Tuesday special $1.20 after tax (I am assuming) in SF? It's $1.08 in L.A. Is sales tax that high there?
MORI SUSHI - DONT GET IT
Neither is a 600% increase in cost. 350% gain for a 600% loss is just bad economics and actually makes the lunch special the far better deal despite negativity so far expressed.
Best Omakase in Los Angeles for $100?
I think you can still get Omakase with Katsu himself at Kiwami on Ventura Blvd for $100 per person if you tell them in advance. Blows away the other under $100 options I see listed.
Can heavy cream be replaced with reduced fat in a bisque without losing texture or flavor?
"Can heavy cream be replaced with reduced fat in a bisque without losing texture or flavor?"
No.
Laphroag look-alike???
Laphroiag is till $32 or $33 at So Cal Trader Joe's. Finlaggan is up to $19, I think, but is a hollow version of the flavors in Laphroiag.
Any Suggestions for the Best Mid-Level Sushi in Tokyo?
Thanks for the info, MoGa, and for confirming that you were not talking about eating the 3900 yen set.
Any Suggestions for the Best Mid-Level Sushi in Tokyo?
So, for 10,000 yen you received premium items not included in the "regular" set?

The set is the same meal as the omakase? Isn't a set usually a bargain meal that is the same every time and omakase is more of a no holds barred/seasonally influenced meal to the price point?
Who here really prefers the Double Filet-O-Fish over the regular Filet-O-Fish?
Why aren't they adding the second half slice of cheese? If I order a double cheese burger I get a second slice of cheese, or is this simply a request to add a second filet? Not a true double then.

Actually MoGa stated that nearly ten years ago he/she did the same for half the amount. That means that the price doubled in my book.
Questions after making coconut milk ice cream
Perhaps try a few things:
Replace half of the stevia with sugar (by sweetening power, not volume)
Bring the custard mixture just below a simmer and stop cooking.
immediately pour the mixture into a bowl set in an ice bath.
Whisk in a tablespoon of vodka while cooling.
The Best Chain(franchise) or fast food hamburger
Perhaps your taste buds are just too educated/experienced for fast food at this point.. Good thing you seem to be able to afford the resulting predispositions of your culinary edification.
My wood cutting board smells. HELP!
Onions and garlic do not stink, so if you think they do, that might be part of the problem.
Top 10 Mexican Spots in SD...
If you want to try the antithesis of taco shops for Mexican cuisine, try Candelas and bring your wallet. :-)
The Linkery (yeah, one more time) - SD
Just bump the posted prices by 18% and post "Gratuity included" then.
Short Order, Long Price
$26 per person for Dine LA week at a slightly upscale casual fast food joint is laughable. I don't care if Keller was cooking.
Bacon Milkshake
Tell you what, make a batch of maple lacquered bacon, reserving the rendered fat. Cool and crumble. Make your favorite vanilla milkshake recipe, but add 1 1/2 tsp of maple syrup, 1 1/2 tsp warm bacon fat, and a pinch of salt per serving. At the end of mixing, stir in 2 strips worth of the bacon crumbles. It can't be worse. :-)
Does low and slow work as well for NY Strip roast (top loin) as it does for Prime Rib?
Going long and low and THEN blasting after pulling the meat first to allow the oven to come up to temp has always worked best for me (with red meat, non-braising roasts). Flip the order for roasting cuts of pork and poultry.
Any Suggestions for the Best Mid-Level Sushi in Tokyo?
Off topic, but the price doubled in less than ten years with a terrible economy for four of those years? That is an insane inflation rate. No excuses of increased global energy demand, lease rate increases, labor costs or scarcity from increased fish consumption can explain that. Someone is getting paid! :-)
Costco butchers
Do you know that this is true from experience or are you assuming? I don't know either way, just asking.

The Hump at SM airport can deliver quite a hefty bill as well.
