    A good prime rib steak with some horseradish on the side, mmmm mm.

    House of Prime Rib in San Francisco would suit you. Old school, been
    there since the early 50s.

    https://marga.org/foodblog/2024/06/a-foodie-in-san-francisco-house-of-prime-rib/

    Gotta love any place with 4 menu items - small, medium, large, and
    chicken.

    Martinis at the bar while waiting for your table are compulsory.

    I get an urge for KFC once a year - the old-school mash and gravy, cole slaw and 3 piece extra crispy. That tides me over for another year.

    I do like those sides. I'm not big on fried chicken due to dealing with the bones, but I do like it sometimes. For KFC, these days I tend to get their chicken strips or chicken nuggets since they don't have the bones. But now, I wouldn't mind eating a chicken breast and maybe a leg..

    Here in Utah we have Ihop.

    We have IHOP here too. I like them, but I haven't been there in a while. We also have some of our own local restaurants & chains which I think are pretty good (Tom's Pancake House, Black Bear Diner, Elmer's).

    We do have a Black Bear Diner, they're good.
    Of coarse we have Denny's but Denny's really suck here in Utah.

    Also, Many years ago they (KFC) had a wing ding meal for $4, 4
    wings, 2 sides + 1/2 cobb of corn.
    That used to be a favorite of mine.

    I get an urge for KFC once a year - the old-school mash and gravy, cole slaw and 3 piece extra crispy. That tides me over for another year.

    The wife and I hadn't been to KFC for years, then we got a good coupon for a bucket of chicken with a few sides.

    There are no Waffle Houses on the West Coast, we have to get by with
    local diners. I have one in Moss Landing that serves fishermen
    heading out to the harbor that does a killer breakfast. Great
    chilaquiles, a fish and eggs breakfast, with a couple of fishes
    caught about 500 feet away, and a great eggs and carnitas breakfast
    with tortillas and beans.

    Ok, now I'm hungry.

    There actually was not one in my town (of ~30,000), either, until about

    They were similar to Denny's (and I'm disappointed to see they've closed a lot of locations too).

    Lyon's restaurants in the SF bay area competed with Denny's. There was a Lyon's near my college campus, we'd go there around midnight, get the breakfast deal - 2 eggs, hash browns and toast for $1.99, and drink endless cups of coffee while we did our homework. We were polite and quiet, we tipped as well as we could being poor college students, and the restaurant was empty, so they didn't mind us taking up a table for an hour or two.

    Yep. I like to get a fish sandwich sometimes when they have them available. And I wish they had them available all the time. I think McDonald's is the only one that permanently has a fish sandwich on their menu (or maybe I'm wrong?).

    One thing I remember as a kid was going to McDonalds, and my mom would always get the filet-o-fish, fries and a coffee. I thought it was odd, since she wasn't a big fish fan, but when I grew up and did the same, it seemed to made sense. Go figure.

    I don't recall Burger King having those.. Maybe I hadn't
    noticed, or they're regional items.

    They were in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

    I think Burger King's chicken is okay. I'd prefer chicken
    nuggets from KFC or McDonald's though.

    I've bought the frozen ones from Tyson, that I could microwave.

    I was having acid reflux fairly regularly (and possibly GERD).
    I started taking 20mg of Omeprazole daily, which has been
    helping a lot.

    I take 40 mg of that twice a day.

    What did you think of working there?

    Not bad. I still remember the instructions from "The Manual Of
    Operating Data" on the proper way to make a Whopper (R).

    My first job was at a Dairy Queen (1996 to 2003). Not too long
    ago I was thinking back about the people I worked with there,
    and particularly the people I really enjoyed working with. I
    had found one of them on Facebook and messaged him, but he
    didn't remember me. :(

    I ordered a deal from Burger King this morning via DoorDash...buy
    one double sausage egg and cheese croissant, and get one free. I added
    an order of tater tots, and a large Dr Pepper.

    I have enough food and drink now to last until March. As long as I
    can keep power, I'll be in good shape, and won't have to order out
    or eat out until spring.

    One time, I ordered a pan of it to take home. All that fiber messed

    But when I do order from KFC, I make sure to get some.

    Nick,

    Yeah, I'm by no means a competitive eater, either. I tend to
    like Chicago dogs, which usually have mustard, onions, pickle,
    tomato, and some mildly spicy peppers on it.

    Never thought of tomato on a hot dog...but I do enjoy them.

    Ketchup has no place on a hotdog. All that is required is
    relish, mustard, and saurkraut. ;-)

    Forget the saurkraut and relish...only ketchup or mustard for me.

    Yep. I like to get a fish sandwich sometimes when they have
    them available. And I wish they had them available all the
    time. I think McDonald's is the only one that permanently has
    a fish sandwich on their menu (or maybe I'm wrong?).

    have them during Lent.

    There's another restaurant chain in the western US called

    years ago.. I miss them. They were similar to Denny's (and
    I'm disappointed to see they've closed a lot of locations too).

    All the Denny's in the Little Rock, Arkansas Metro area have been
    closed down as well. I'm not sure if there are any left. It's like
    Shoney's Big Boy and Krystal...they're gone from Arkansas as well.

    Sautee onions on a skillet, make a burger patty next to them. Smash

    You get all of the hamburger grease cooking with the onions.

    Slice of american cheese on top a few moments before taking it off,
    and don't forget to grill the bun. Perfection.


    that's wrong. that's not how you do an onion burger/ white castle style burger. the onions steam the meat and the bun.

    I produce a whole lot of cabbage at home, therefore I produce a lot of sauerkraut as a cheap way of preserving it. I remember watching a video review for a fermentation tank and the guy running the review said "I don't know who would need a tank as big as this one". I have 6 which are about the same size as that one.

    Sauerkraut is "really good" with most basic meats. You roast a chicken in the fireplace, sauerkraut will work fine with it. You roast ribs, same thing. It is a classic with sausages or burgers.

    No Sauerkraut is an abomination, IMHO.
    My wife loves it, I hate it, I love Blue Cheese dressing with lots of Blue cheese chunks, she hates blue cheese period.

    There really is an art to simple dishes, I always screw around in the kitchen and its easy to muddy up the flavor profile of things by dumping them full of spices and not letting the individule ingredients make kinda layers of flavour, somethings i do like alot of spices like when smoking a turkey it kinda lets it infuse

    During Lent, places that normally don't sell fish (Arby's, Wendy's,
    etc.) have it on their menu, so they can pick up the Catholic
    clientele.

    Lore has that this is why one McD's franchisee created the Filet-O-Fish
    in the 50s and then the entire chain adopted it.

    I believe Burger King has one year round. Arby's and Wendy's only have them during Lent.

    A couple years ago, I noticed Popeye's has a fish sandwich
    during Lent too.

    They have to pick up the Catholic clientele.

    I think sauerkraut is only really good with certain things. A
    bratwurst or Polish dog is probably the only thing I like
    sauerkraut with.

    There's a family in the Xenia, Ohio area...all licensed ham radio operators...mother, father, and daughter, and they all LOVE sauerkraut.
    They even attend a yearly sauerkraut festival up there.

    Sautee onions on a skillet, make a burger patty next to them.
    Smash the patty down, and when you flip it, put it on top of
    the onions. You get all of the hamburger grease cooking with
    the onions.

    Slice of american cheese on top a few moments before taking it
    off, and don't forget to grill the bun. Perfection.

    White Castle burgers...are affectionately known as "gut grenades".

    I've also heard them called gut or butt bombs. I love 'em.

    I think it's the onions that cause all the gas.

    Unfortunately, since the prices have shot up, I get them much;
    six bacon-cheeseburgers for $13.xx? Fuggetaboutit!

    I haven't had them in awhile. I'm doing good with my tuna salad

    For me, it was just the opposite. While most people were at work/school, all the boards were freed up. After about 6-7, things got noticeably busier.

    Nowadays, I've spent so much time working with ham radio and square

    He lamented that being Colonel Klink defined his career. Yet, he was

    Another thing...Colonel Klink said "this guy has a terrible scar on
    his face". It never occurred to Klink that his monacle was scratched. <G>

    Another episode had the wife of Bob Crane (Hogan) as Klink's Secretary.
    Klink couldn't dance worth a flip, and when Hogan said "I haven't danced
    in years", she said "I thought you'd never ask".

    While they're dancing, Hogan tells her "Careful, honey...you're steaming
