soo...whats the consensus? There's a 5 guys by my place but the burgers look out-right disgusting and unappetizing so i haven't tried it out yet

in n out for life. i forgot to say that, the five guys burger looks so blah, the toppings saved the burger for sure.....but the fries are good.

If that steak was a woman it'd be Salma Hayek in "from dusk till dawn".

Damn!

City Market Barbeque in Luling, Texas. Noted as some of the best BBQ in Texas (and thus, in the country), and easily the best I've ever had.

And that's from someone who has lived in the state his whole life.

I will finally be hitting some of the other best places before I leave the Austin area (graduating in December).

They open at 7am. I got there around 10:15 am (I was actually driving through the town for another reason). I didn't have to wait in line, but by the time I left there was a line 15 or so deep, and growing.

This is the meat room. You go in to order meat, but buy everything else (sides, drinks, whatever) at a different counter. If there are saunas in heaven, they smell like this room. Note the sign saying to keep the door shut.

My order. Got a little brisket, a couple ribs, and a ring of sausage. Plus obligatory white bread, pickled jalapeno, pickle, and a thick slice of raw onion to cut through the richness of the meat. Came to about $10.50. By the end of the meal I was eating that onion like gari to cleanse my palette between bites so I could get the full effect of the meat every time.

The sausage was, surprisingly, the most amazing thing. I think it was all beef, pretty loose-packed. It was staggeringly rich and juicy and perfectly spiced. Casing still had an awesome snap, but the inside just melted.

Pork ribs and brisket were also just spectacularly good.

The ribs had a bark that literally crunched, but gave way to this amazingly moist and buttery meat. Came clean off the bone, but you didn't have to worry about the bone breaking (this sometimes happens when ribs are allowed to cook for too long). Seasoning was great but didn't overpower the meat.

The brisket was deeply smokey and very tender (except for one small section of one of the strips that was a little dry...that's pretty much unavoidable, though). Even that drier part was not chewy at all, like lesser brisket can be.

It was so good.

Feel bad for people who will never know real barbeque.

Big cook-up with a group of friends, one of whom happens to be a sous chef turned organic butcher.

Started of with this;

The moved on to duck fat roasted potatoes

Animal-fat free potatoes for the vegans

With roast pork belly (not for the vegans, obviously);

And finished it up with a little magic brownie;

After all the wine, this little nugget of emerald cacao almost finished me...

Shitty lunch before dropping down to Citadel and walk around. Generic US Chinese fast food with one of my favorite chili concoctions and favorite apple soda

Went down to the Greek Festival that ended today in Long Beach.

^I had some bomb ass German meatballs a few months ago... klopps. They were a veal/pork blend, cooked in a mushroom/white wine/sour cream sauce thing.

[WillKhitie]

On Official Business.

Siphoned cup of Coffee.

Molten Chocolate Cake. (Shaved Pecans, Almonds, Walnuts, served warm with a scoop of Vanilla.)

"One of those days." Lunch while doing store rounds. Not the best looking plate of food. Food court Steak and Eggs.

And a snack to tide me over til dinner, Pizza Baguette.

Please excuse the horrendous cell phone pic

Last night I ate at Brian's 24, a 24-hour grille in downtown San Diego, and ate the Chicken & Waffles there... so bomb! The sandwiches there are pretty good too, and the appetizers.

[infamousmilli]

Past couple of days

[spaces]

Foreign Cinema, San Francisco.

This place was lovely, eating outside was awesome.

Some bruschetta stuff with white cheese, tapenade, and some raddichio.

Tasted really good.

Organic burger with Acme bun, heirloom tomatoes, grueyere, and tarragon mayo. The burger was really good, fries tasted like they were from in n out, which isn't really a bad thing i guess.

[WillKhitie]

Faded, two in the morning, and on the hunt for something situational-y appropriate.

Back at the 24 Hour Persian Coffee shop. Again with the samplers, again with the Mixed Kebab (Lamb, Chicken, and the other meat that they're allowed to eat). If anything, it felt like eating the contents of a small farm, Barn and garden included.

Morning after Turkish Coffee. Something to get my potentially fat/alcohol clogged arteries back to working condition.

..and in some freak stroke of luck, the family had Callos (Spanish Tripe Stew) at home for lunch that same afternoon.

Dinner out, oddly enough went down the Spanish fare route again. Paella Valencia for two.

First attempt at Enchiladas (I'm Asian btw) Needed more sauce, but in the words of my Korean (from Korea) friend: "This is the best Mexican food I have ever had"

Made some wings marinaded in beer, onions and a bunch of spices.

Steak & Eggs from Boston Cafe in Diamond Bar, CA

A bit of food from this past week:

Islands:

In red meat:

..and in white:

First Peruvian meal after a couple years:

Garlic shrimp w/ potatoes

My first try of Inca Kola. Not bad, rather light compared to its strong bubblegum smell. Tastes a bit like Japanese Ramune.

[Solix]

Self Explanatory. My personal favorite franchised sit-down eatery. Set higher than even Cheesecake Factory, I love my bbq.
