Sonic’s burgers will not win any Zagat awards or anything like that, but they do their job in having something to munch on in between sips of their milkshakes and/or slushies.
I’ve never understood how Sonic can get drinks and ice cream and chicken (popcorn chicken and their boneless wings) so right and just shit the bed with their burgers.
It shouldn’t take them serving up a 2,000 calorie burger to get them to a palatable stage.
Good call! lol Read more
Eh...Chic-Fil-A starts fresh with whole, boneless chicken breasts, cubes them, breads them, and fries them. These appear to be whole pieces of chicken, so yeah...I think Dennis is a little out-of-line comparing these to McDonald’s and Wendy’s offerings. Those are formed-patties printed with slurry, but these seem to… Read more
They’re fritters, not nuggets. Similar to Chic-Fil-A’s fritters, so whole-cut chicken breast, just breaded in their mild-seasoning. Read more
I had the nuggests. Not bad but I wouldn’t shank you for them.
Not gonna lie, still kinda pissed they discontinued the jambalaya and sausage gumbo...
Popeyes tenders are so stringy sometimes, never know if you are going to get more breading than meat. Read more
Finally, after all these sandwiches, something that makes sense: breaded fried chicken that doesn’t need more bread surrounding it.
No Spicy = No Sale. C’mon now, Popeyes.
Yeah, I’ll just stick with the sandwich.
This book is great, and his mop sauce recipe is killer on ribs and pork butts. Rodney’s style of whole hog bbq relies on pork fat dripping onto the coals below, which creates smoke and flavors the meat. You get the same effect from the Pit Barrel smoker, which is basically just meat hanging over a coal basket inside… Read more

My main irritation is if you google recipes online most of them are for things like electric or pellet smokers, things like Traegers where you just push the on button... no shade on those, it just doesn’t directly translate for cooking time for other types. Read more
What’s a good electric smoker? I live in a city apartment and don’t have space for a real smoker (as a grill I use a Ninja Foodi), and would like something similar for smoking, so that I can try and follow through on this at least a bit.
I pawed through this the other week. It’s has a great ‘introduction’ and the cookbook part has some really nice recipes. The man knows what he’s talking about.
Fuck all these assholes who got chickens for the pandemic, most likely for Instagram likes, and now are just letting them lose.

I’m a city boy but I once lived on a ranch that had chickens, ducks, and livestock. There’s a lot to learn, and it helps you appreciate what goes into growing, raising, and harvesting what goes on your table. I think that urban chickens can be a great experience but as you mention there are some drawbacks, for sure.… Read more
