what are you eating today?

[polishmike]

edit: what's with all the ibooks?

i looove ibooks

[the_state]

that's a shame.

i'm not gonna say that white castle > in n out, but you can find some great in n out substitutes in new york (without bible propaganda!). what you won't find anywhere, is a decent substitute for white castle.

[polishmike]

There is a place in JC called White Manna, Notesee had that shit with me and it's bananas. Way better than WC and open 24/7 plus at night it's all hookers and pimps in there. You have to come out for the Jersey meetup to try it.

I've heard some serious shit about White Manna. There's a slider joint near me in Red Hook called Schnack that's pretty on point too. Hookers and pimps they don't have, but beer shakes they do.

[hey]

What about Krystal? I hate that shit but I've heard its just like White Castle, though I've never had White Castle, being southeasterly and all.

Anyone had both? Compare/contrast?

[dizzle]

you can always buy frozen white castle burgers at the market if you really wanna try it...probably not as good tho

[the_state]

i lived in ATL for a few months, and saw my fair share of Krystal's... but if i was ever fucking w/ fast food, it was either at Varsity or Chick-Fil-A

[mis]

Have u tried green tea beard papa. Dat is yummy yum

[sleazie ninja number 47]

^ fine work, good sir.

the best part about those things is that they practically come pre-digested. it's like adult baby food but without the nutrients.

ps - i haven't had white castle in at least a year, i gotta check to see if there are in brooklyn in areas that won't result in me getting mugged.

there's one in east williamsburg/bushwick area. pretty safe. at least during the day.

[the_state]

good looks, but i'm a south brooklyn guy. there's one in sunset park that i might have to hit up.

The one by me has bulletproof glass and a little window to pass the food. It's next level.

i went to school in upstate new york and used to hit up a local kennedy fried chicken for my late night drunken jamaican beef patty fix. one night some bum rolled in, drunk off his ass, with a goddam sword and started waving it around while shouting at everyone. cops came in, dragged him out and probably beat him half to death in some alley.

anyway, few days later they implemented one of them glass joints. i can honestly say that nothing makes you feel sleazier than paying for grape soda in quarters through a glass window.

For the bacon ice cream, i would say make your creme anglaise and in a seperate pan cook the bacon to your desired doneness, and then dry the bacon with paper towel. And while the bacon and anglaise are still hot mix them together and let them infuse for an hour or so, then strain out the bacon and then add to the ice cream machine.

But on second thought, the creme anglaise is usually made up of yolks+sugar and hot milk or cream. You could render a bunch of bacon fat and mix that into the yolks and sugar and emulsify them together then add the hot milk. Damn I wish I had an ice cream maker, cause I want to experiment. At my work we make a cinnamon bun ice cream. Which tastes like actual cinnamon buns, I'm amazed how we get the dough flavour in the ice cream.

i recommend letting the bacon infuse, dont dry on a towel because you want the flavor in the fat. using just the fat, you wont get enough bacon flavor. one of our popular desserts is bread pudding w/ bacon creme anglaise

[hey]

Thanks for the advice. I've been busy so I haven't gotten around to trying a batch yet.

My roommate had what I think is a pretty stellar idea:

Make the creme anglaise with a very tiny amount of maple syrup, and then adding a liberal amount of bacon towards the end of the churning.

Opinions?

Also, mind if I ask what restaurant you work at?

these burgers are killer, leagues above white castle

though i love both, im partial to the spin-off manna in hackensack

the sliders there seem juicier and onion-ier

for my part i just tore through a box of specialty mochi my friend christine brought back from flushing

there is nothing like the black sesame filled sort from yee mei fong

i am covered with rice flour and unashamed

White Chocolate Mousse

[Ahlvahroe]

i just had some awesome 'comfort food' i made myself some chicken nugget sandwiches. so bad yet so good, lettuce, tomato, onions, little bit of cheese, hot sauce and chicken nuggets on potato bread.

[soepom]

called the macdelivery for breakfast some days ago:

out for lunch at a thai place

thai fried kway teow with braised ribs + thai lemon grass tea

later that day:

mushroom soup

bitter orange with peach tea

warm valhrona chocolate cake

with a girl friend the following day's lunch:

customary lo hei with raw fish, shredded carrot and green radish, and assorted condiments.

so you toss the salad for good luck, and say auspicious greetings as you do so.

dim sum was not bad but we were stuffed from the big plate of lo hei. imagine 2 girls my size finishing all the above.

Dinner at my favourite blue and yellow place:

[madeinkorea23]

how does chicken feet taste? i had dimsum today for lunch and everytime i go i always want to try it but i just cant force myself to do it. is there even any meat on the feet?

[soepom]

it's good! my favourite dimsum - but yes, not one of those things that everyone takes to. there's no meat, just skin and tendon that's very soft. alot of small bones that you have suck the skin off, and then spit out. i love the taste, texture and process.

[madeinkorea23]

so basically you eat the skin and tendons correct? i might have to try it next time i go.

[mis]

Chicken feet is one of the best things in life
