heydude93 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 The fact that Emperor is not much of a fan of real east asian cultural imports but loves Shadow Warrior is pretty interesting I have to say. It's becoming difficult to not imagine him as an IRL version of the Will Sasso character in Entourage after saying some of the stuff he does.

marioandsonic Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I don't eat sushi, as I've never been a fan of seafood. I am, however, a fan of ramen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Well, I did manage to find some sushi. But what the hell is up? There’s nowhere near the selection like usual. I haven’t heard of any shortages on that front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heydude93 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Still no response, Wade, if that is your real name? I hope you reconsider soon. Just know that screenshots have been taken of all the bigoted things your "persona" has said. Your fate is now sealed, I just thought you'd want to issue a statement about the fact that your platform will be soon be taken. That's right, Wade is given an early retirement.

I’m not checking daily, but the last several weeks when I’ve gone into the store, they didn’t have my usual, which is the most common. I ended up getting a tray from Whole Foods that was part of what I liked and the other half was the sashimi style. And there were only two of them left.

My guess is that Jose has better local access to fresh seafood. chicken is the odd one for me, personally. I'm in Atlanta. we have a lot of local production facilities. it's still hit or miss what i find. my guess is that it has to do with distribution contracts.

I've seen that shit in real life. At my last job a VP from Salt Lake City flew in and asked for recommendations for local places to eat, people said there was an Olive Garden and a Chilis near his hotel. Same at my current job when some trainers flew in from Chicago to train us on this new software, they told them where the nearest Buffalo Wild Wings was located, it's like come on people.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I mean, I recommend actual local places if someone is asking. There's a ton of great places to eat in my city. My in-laws eat at Red Lobster every single time they come to this city. It never fails. They live in a podunk town two hours away, so Red Lobster is like fine dining. I've tried to get them to go elsewhere. No success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I remember when they opened up the Texas Roadhouse here a couple years ago. The employees were staying at the hotel and they brought that cinnamon bread over every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just as much sushi as butter chicken is South Asian food. I love spicy tuna hand rolls but I don't remember it having crunchies. I usually get it with scallops. 15 hours ago, Jose said: The worst wasn't even that they did that. I mean it was bad, but the dressing at this restaurant was legitimately excellent. The worst was many customers would basically try to bite your hand if you tried to remove the empty salad bowls from the table because they were saving the pool of leftover dressing at the bottom for the sushi to come. Fucking gross. I think I have had that on a skillet but I didn't save the dressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Eh, I'm somewhat of a foodie, but I'm also a big fan of trashy junk food. I love me some Texas Roadhouse or Red Lobster. Let's not food shame, there is a reason so many restaurants like that exist... it's because that's what most people like. If everyone wanted authentic Thai street food* (insert your own "good" food here) they would be on every corner, but they aren't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anywho, Wade, I just saw your DM from yesterday - the paragraph about all the anime you secretly love watching. It turns out that Wade does in fact watch lots of anime, so rest assured everyone, there’s no need to check him on if he actually enjoys meaningful cultural experiences or not 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
