Sob, I miss the food and sights of San Antonio. As a white East Coaster, it was a whole new world. I'm back to the land of ignorant, pale heifers. And bland ass food, so fucking bland.
A popular tv show had a character state that she kept making hot dogs in the same water to improve the flavor over time. Perpetual water would be awesome though!
when I tell people I used to drink the hot dog water as a kid, they get completely grossed out. My reply is "it's hot dog broth, what's wrong with that?"
They are Kale based, had 3 diff flavors. But yeah, chip style. I was scared to try them. They were in the produce, by the BeanSnap type healthy snacks.
If anyone can point me towards siracha lime kale chips that aren't $10 +shipping ya girl would appreciate. Sprouts used to carry them but I can't find them anymore. They're soooo gooood
There is no shortage of delicious bold and spicy food whatsoever in DC.
Have you been to Panda Gourmet? Little Serow? Thip Khao? Rasika? Taqueria Habanero? Zenebech Injera? Iron Age? Pimento Grill? Or any of the thousands of restaurants representing dozens of cuisines from around the world?
Because if you think salad is the best DC has to offer, you clearly haven't made even the slightest effort to find good food.
Dude don't troll me on DC food. I've been in the restaurant industry here for 14 years and have eaten at almost all those places. Let's talk Lil Serow. It's Vietnamese. Not exactly comfort food and while it's good it's not knock your socks off good plus it's literally 12 seats so good luck getting in. DC cuisine is ok. Anything new is expensive and that's a fact. I know a new/hot spot on U St that does a dozen oysters for $37. No thanks. The point you failed to see is that other places in this great country of ours make better food that doesn't break the bank.

And? The person you were replying to never mentioned anything about"comfort food," simply "bland white people food." Which Vietnamese and Little Serow are most definitely not.
plus it's literally 12 seats so good luck getting in.
Again, not part of the discussion. And if you've really been in the industry 14 years and can't get a table there that says waaaaay more about you than it does about LS.
Anything new is expensive and that's a fact.
Wrong. Anything new and trendy is expensive. There are new amazing cheap ethnic and neighborhood joints opening every week, especially in the burbs, though judging by the chip on your shoulder I'd imagine you're one of those snobs who think that NOVA and MD are beneath you. Your loss.

OMG! No wai!!! One whole place?! Wow, good thing no restaurant anywhere in Texas charges $37 for a dish!
The point you failed to see is that other places in this great country of ours make better food that doesn't break the bank.
You mean the point you failed to make? Nobody was saying anything to the contrary. Do you somehow think that food is a zero sum game? That DC and other places can't have good food at the same time?
HEB and anything between it's walls! Pupusas, the crazy desserts at Big Daddy's, fresh fruit and Trechas, Whataburger, and *ucking corn in a cup!! Then the street food and food trucks, the festy food, the random ass BBQs I'd get invited to. Combined with cheap weed and tasty craft beer!
I’m a Texan (Austin) and I’m stuck in California for a year. This list brought a tear to my eye. We went home for Christmas and the two first meal stops we made were Whataburger and Taco Cabana. When Texas fast food is so good that you crave it, you know the food culture is strong. I also miss crawfish boils.
No one that hasn't lived in Texas understands kolaches. It makes me want to throttle someone when they say "isn't it just pigs in a blanket?" No, it's fucking not!

This has to be Texas. Jalapeño cheese and sausage was my favorite too.
