January 13, 201412 yr Had a Reese's Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treat yesterday. Yup, it's as good as it sounds.
January 13, 201412 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 13, 2014 -> 02:06 PM) An ex of mine used to make it for me...trust me, it is worth it...most of it is just giving the dough more time, if I remember correctly. The recipe i googled called for rye flour and wheat germ, as well as honey or barley malt. As it stands I have one of those ingredients in my cabinet(honey), lol. i have no problem giving dough plenty of time to rise. I actually have a perfect room to do it in also, my water heater/boiler room. It is constantly between 85-95 degrees in there, so I just put the dough in that room in the morning after I make the dough and forget about it until its time to make pizza.

January 15, 201412 yr Author QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 15, 2014 -> 02:12 PM) fun fact, most restaurant guac is half cut with mashed peas So that's why I usually hate guac. We ate at a restaurant in Minneapolis where they actually made the guac at your table. It was amazing.

January 15, 201412 yr QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jan 13, 2014 -> 01:52 PM) A bar out here in Plainfield called McBrides has the best $4 hamburger ever (on Sundays). Just awesome. I've been there but haven't had a burger yet. Speaking of Plainfield, Moe Joe's has a wild boar burger that is unbelievable. It has pretty much becaome my staple meal when we go there.

January 15, 201412 yr Second the Edzo's recommendation. Been to the one in Evanston a few times. So good. There's a Five Guys across the street from where I work, but I think if went there mid-workday I'd die. And Wite, what are these Scotch Eggs you speak of and where did you have them here in Minneapolis?
January 16, 201412 yr I love famous Dave's (chicken) and uncle Julios (chicken breast). Just sucks that uncle Julios is packed when we've wanted to go

January 16, 201412 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 15, 2014 -> 02:06 PM) Just got done stuffin my fat face with Chipotle. Their guac is the bestest. Chicken burrito bowl (extra meat), both rice, both beans, mild salsa, roasted chili-corn, cheese and lettuce. Every. Single. Time.
January 16, 201412 yr Author Having eaten both Chipotle and Panchero's, Panchero's is way, way better. Looks like the only locations in the Chicago area are in Schaumburg and Rockford.
January 16, 201412 yr I'm more of a Qdoba guy myself. But I eat at Chipotle much more often because it's right down the street from me.

May 6, 201411 yr Yeah I posted this in the catch all thread. Why isn't he selling? Take that lump sum of millions and go retire on an island somewhere.

May 6, 201411 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 6, 2014 -> 01:03 PM) Profit margins are sooo tiny in the food business. My friends and I are debating this over email right now. My arguments: (1) I bet he pays next to nothing for his location, (2) he has very little staff - himself, 2-3 bus boys, 2-3 cooks. I'm sure they're not making much more than minimum wage. (3) it's a cash-only business, (4) the food, while unique, isn't all that complex. It's not like he has to stock an entire kitchen for 40 entrees, (5) he has a 2 hour wait every day he's open, (6) he's been on national TV shows and won all sorts of national awards. Still, even if he hasn't pulled in that much, surely the place is worth that much. He should have opened up a couple of restaurants by now, but even though he didn't a buyer would. I think he could get several millions easy if he wanted to sell. Edited May 6, 201411 yr by Jenksismybitch
