Champagne taste on a beer budget

Servers in sit-downs usually pool tips (another practice I don't believe in) so the dollar or 2 that makes you feel good doesn't amount to much when split amongst the other waitrons, and I would consider it insanity to tip a full 15 or 20 percent for someone just to take my money, and there is just not the involvement and time in processing a takeout vs. table service. I don't buy into the whole unsung hero garbage of wait staff. You want to really help someone, and give a tip to someone who could really use it? How about the poor ecuadorian line cook slaving away 12 hours a day

Do you tip at a place like Mcd's, or a sub chain where they even make the sandwich for you? Of course not...No tip at takeout

I bought Petria a few months ago, mainly because I liked the can. Took a chance, as I had never heard of it either. I found it very similar to Pompeian, my go to olive oil. How much were they asking?

I think how it's cooked is way more important than the accessories. Over hardwood charcoal, toasted bun...the rest is fru-fru...But save me as little bacon, Kevin!

Soft serve, bleah! And those flavorless carvel cakes that were around when I was growing up. I'd take baskin robbins over ANY softserve anyday

Old thread, I know, but there's a cookoff in Somers tomorrow

tahini, sage and tarragon. definitely a little messy, but no more so than a flour, eggwash, breadcrumb coating routine. it's a keeper. made sandwiches from the leftovers yesterday

Just watched the video....I'm going to try it tonite!

Good delivered pizza = mutually exclusive. I grew up in the area and know it well, so for pizza's sake, take the walk, air!

No! Say it isn't so? Where else to get good ice cream around here? And no, soft serve doesn't count, bleah!

I always rinsed chicken, out of habit, mostly. Then got to thinking recently about cross-contamination, and all, and rationally I see no benefit. I have to say, though, Biscuitboy, when I clean up, everything gets doused with my 'sanitizing solution'. Capful of bleach in one of those industrial type spray bottles, then hot soapy water. Makes me feel better.

Gilbert's in Glastonbury, or my grill in the backyard....Strip or porterhouse, no bland filet!

Mine stay on the shelf above the stove. I would think the cold may dull the flavor?
