I'm with you, but one caveat: I'm not down with places that try to sneak a pile of calamari or garlic bread on there just to pad it out - I see that and automatically assume I'm getting screwed on the wings, fried mozzarella, etc.

Pfft, they can pile on the calamari and the garlic bread for me. Suckers! That's what I came there for!

This made me realize I haven't had a pu-pu platter in probably 30 years and I could absolutely demolish one of those right about now.

Being a pescetarian, the appetizer sampler is pretty much what saves me at like 99% of restaurants.

See you and I would make a great sampler platter team - my girlfriend and most of my IRL friends all like the same stuff, so the calamari always just ends up in a pile at the end along with the lettuce bed and sprigs of parsley - I feel sorry wasting food, but I'm just not a fan (I make it a point to try seafood every 5-7 years, too, just to see if that whole 'tastebuds changing' thing is a work or not, but it always ends the same)

Edit: I wish I clicked reply a second sooner, your stance makes more sense after seeing you're a pescatarian

Oh I grew up in coastal environments, so seafood's always been my thing. Being pescetarian is more because a few years back my body decided to stop processing most meat that I ate. Fish, though, is for some reason fine? I've never been able to figure out why fish is fine but poultry or pork isn't, but my body is a strange place and I don't make the rules.

(I also don't get why chicken is a no go, but eggs are fine. I dunno. My doctor can't figure that one out either.)

It doesn't really bother me all that much aside from the people who seem to get offended that I ask for a veggie option and are all "well I'm going to have meat! Meat is what I will have! ARE YOU TRIGGERED?!" and I can't be like "yeah man I'd love to have it too, but if I do, I'd throw up on your carpet" because then somehow I'd be the rude one!

Unless, of course, referring to the noble combination platter while ordering from a fine local dining establishment.

We really need a food forum for you and @Octopus

Now I want somebody to get high and watch CM Punk matches then review. May be the only way I could get through one of those hour draws (there were more than one, right?). This Galloping Ghost I've got would work just fine. 

I wanna watch his iwams delirious trilogy high now.

[SirFozzie]

Bah, get an 8-ball and watch old Big Japan Deathmatches. And Ken the Box matches.

 

They'll speak to you on a whole new level.

 

(the level being ":Woah, colors!)

My greatest legacy from my (brief) period as a Mod on the DVDVR Discord is creating the Tay-Melo-Food-and-Mainly-Pizza-Channel.

Which I started as a joke, then looked at it an hour later (thinking it would be dead and I should delete it) and it was the most active channel on there.

Well she is eating for two

Was having a celebratory dinner with my gf at an Indian place Monday for our moving in.  She went to town on the garlic naan.

And she calls me the Black Hole princess...

Naan's great. I could eat a shitload of naan. I forget the brand but there's one that Shop Rite sells that's thicker than most I've had out to eat, and it's great warmed in the toaster with roasted garlic, butter, jelly, cinnamon sugar, basically anything you'd do with like a croissant or toast (also congrats on the moving in)

Being Greek I quickly realized why the meze style is so popular over there.  You get to try a bunch of awesome food and you're not committed to just one entree or sandwich.  When I went five years ago I got an entree and was the odd man out but it meant more of the meze for the rest of the crew (which with the Ouzo flowing meant it still got demolished in no time anyway)  Here it's the reverse though I feel like getting a sampler next time.  And yes the more calamari the better.  Though I can quickly detect the frozen stuff so if it says hand breaded at the restaurant then I'll get that as often as I can.

I love the food channel even though we haven't seen Tay eat pizza in almost a year.  I just made a slight title change but can always revert if needed.

@zendragon I can't remember if this was you that made the comment originally, I feel like it might've been @Nice Guy Eddieor @Curt McGirtpossibly - but whoever said that Buddy Matthews should be R. Budd Matthews, I now cannot refer to him as anything else - it's canon in my house

[Curt McGirt]

It was probably Eddie. But then, I did put Budd on the cover of one of my band's demos/unreleased EPs (don't worry, it's not graphic, just large)

It would just be me talking about mushroom quesadillas and whatever candy I was eating that week (See's toffee-ettes, if you're curious).

Most Mediterranean countries had the right idea with the small shareable dishes so you get a little of everything and aren't constrained to one dish like a sucker. I should find a good tapas place. (Is Spain Mediterranean? Ah whatever.)

Punk & Mike Gill made fun of the firing situation on the CFFC show tonight.

Which is on UFC Fight Pass, which is UFC’s steaming service… under the TKO umbrella. Lol.
