I hope that's all for you and not for two. I have to be in the right mood to enjoy White Castle and Krystal.

I love white castle. That said, there isn't one super close to home or close to the office, so, when we go, very rarely, it's a treat. One of the few restaurant chains that has grape pop on tap. I don't usually drink pop, but, I'll take Root Bear @ Culvers or A&W as top pick and Grape Pop at White Castle as a second best choice.

soda
No, I'm talking about pop. I'm not baking soda or sodium bicarbonate or soda water or whatever other nonsense you are writing about.
And no, not coke, I'm talking about Grape Pop, not Coke. Coke is the wrong flavor of pop.

Do they not have other pop besides coke where you live? What country are you in that only has coke? What other words do you not have in your language?

Fight me IRL.
 
I've seen cans of grape soda. I don't think I've ever seen cans of grape pop.

I don't know what made me do it, but I ate half a Costco pizza today for lunch. That was six hours ago and I'm still full ... and falling asleep again.

I just finished the first episode of Ugly Delicious on Netflix, which is where David Chang (really cool chef) does episodes on different food topics. First one is on pizza & they eat pizza in NY, Italy, etc. (btw New Haven-style pizza is still the best, HOLLA!). One of the things he talks about is that despite being a great chef, he grew up on Dominoes & still orders it every couple of months because he likes it, despite having access to really amazing pizza all around NYC. He articulated it pretty well in the show, about how it's not bad to like things just because they're mass-produced or cheap or inferior products, which I appreciate because I still like Whoppers, despite making amazing sous vide burgers, charcoal-grilled bison burgers, smash burgers, and so on at home.

Food is such a complex thing. I've been through so many food-related phases in my life. I went through a period where I swore off eating out because I just thought it was a waste, and didn't really know any better until I got exposed to better (I'm sure it's in a forum post here ten years back, haha). I went through another phase where I made everything exclusively at home, and another one where I'd only eat at places that I knew were going to be good. I've kind of rebalanced now to the point where I prefer to make most of my food at home, but still enjoy going out to good-quality places, and trying new things, and still like to eat my comfort foods, like a Whopper with cheese.

Yeah I went through a rough Taco Bell addiction in my 20's, I've been clean for about a decade until I had a relapse recently (damn you nacho fries). Now I prefer taco trucks and local Mexican places.

I recently discovered David Chang courtesy of Kimmel last week

Thanks for the Netflix suggestion 🙂
 
Nah man, Taco Bell has gotten a lot better. I was off them from like 2005 to 2015, kept getting sick. They are legit (for what they are) again.
