You can tell a lot about someone by the kind of restaurant they would open if someone forced them to drop everything and open a restaurant.
@HG this is a fun discussion!
My pipe-dream is "run away to Amsterdam and run a late night American BBQ food truck in the red-light district."
What kind of American barbecue? It's a big and fractious country.
@HG ALL OF IT.
I'd want a home base to smoke meats, make sides & sauces, and whatnot. Then I'd load it on a food truck and serve it up street food style. Bun/Bowl + Protien + Sauce + Cheese/Coleslaw/whatever.
Dammit now I want a big ass bowl of fried okra and it's all your fault. It's not because I got really high during #Monsterdon . And fried okra is not easy to find in the middle of the night in Minnesotan suburbs, doncha know?
@LRRRonEarth you should punish HG or something for making me crave food I can't have right now.
THIS IS 100% A YOU PROBLEM.
@LRRRonEarth this is about FOOD. I thought YOU'D understand.
@HG
I JUST DON'T CARE ENOUGH TO BE UPSET. SOUNDS LIKE YOU MADE YOURSELF MAD. I HAVEN'T SEEN A HALLMARK CARD FOR THAT ONE.
@LRRRonEarth @RamenCatholic @HG Those are some weird s's... The capitals look like A's while the lower case ones are kind of a mix between an r and a g.
@LRRRonEarth of course I made myself mad, I'm hangry. Maybe I need a medicinal Poppl--- er, Snickers to calm down.
@HG
@RamenCatholic @HG @LRRRonEarth there's a restaurant near me that totally changes its theme and menu a couple of times a year, so you could hop periodically from bbq region to bbq region like a tour of great American bbq
@amiserabilist yes please. That sounds amazing.
@HG @LRRRonEarth
if you are in aberdeen, i will cook for you.
@amiserabilist if I ever make it out there I will take you up on that as long as you promise not to serve me haggis.
Dinner with an online friend in Scotland & a side-trip to Wales to nerd out in Portmeirion sounds like a fun vacation. Damn, I need to win the lottery.
fuck haggis
@amiserabilist it's just offally bad oatmeal.
I'm not sorry.
@amiserabilist @RamenCatholic I think fucking haggis would burn you very badly.
@RamenCatholic @HG @LRRRonEarth There's a biscuuit take-out place a couple miles down the road from me that serves pretty good fried okra, but I don't think they open until 7, and I had too much fried food today anyway.
@HG @RamenCatholic Only dry rub is *real* bbq. (Ducks)
@msbellows when we're all eating billionaires in the Climate Wars, you'll wish we had good BBQ Sauce.
