I was in Chicago for work awhile back and ordered one because why not, right? I got to pick it up and the guy hands me this maybe 10x10" box. When I take it from his hands I almost drop it because I was not expecting a box that small that supposedly held pizza to weigh several pounds. I get it back to my hotel room and couldn't finish half of it. The thing was so thick and had so much cheese...it was basically a firm baked lasagna more than it could be considered pizza. Now whenever I see "Chicago Deep Dish Style" on a menu or something here on the Right Coast, I know that it's not really even close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I really want to keep contributing to this thread, but I think American cheese is my only hot take regarding food and that makes me sad! Do boneless wings count? Boneless wings are bullshit. Glorified chicken nuggets. It's fucking breast meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I have had bonless wings that were really made with wing meat. They were awesome. But then, one day, they clearly started using breast meat. It was the last time I ever got food from that place. Edit: Just looked the place up and they closed down.

I didn't hate it, it just wasn't special. To me it was an average fast food burger. I don't get why so many of the left coast transplants around here pine for it. But next time I am in the correct part of the country for an In-n-Out I will try it your way and see if that changes things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Oh, here's one. If you're feeling incredibly lazy, you can cook boneless skinless chicken thighs in the microwave, they come out fine. The fat content keeps them from drying out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Domino's used to have these Breaded Buffalo Boneless Wings where the buffalo flavoring was in the breading. There was no sauce involved at all, but they came with ranch. This was before Domino's redid their crust. I loved that shit. I didn't even want pizza from Domino's because I wanted that chicken. No one here would like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food goes in one end and out the other - what's the big deal? #futurepoop Ultimately, I kind of agree. I don't cook unless I'm cooking for other people, when it's just for myself I'll eat like a salad, a sandwich, and a multivitamin or whatever and I'm not particularly fussed about what it tastes like. But I do love cooking when it's for other people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After going vegetarian, then dating a vegan for 3 years (except she ate honey, that's a controversial subject amongst vegans), and also having 3 vegan roommates, I have had more fun cooking vegan food than anything else. You can have so much creativity. I made vegan potstickers that were honestly the best potstickers I've ever had, vegan or not. I made vegan ricotta that was fucking bomb. Chicken wings are my favorite food on the planet, and 100% of "vegan wings" are terrible, but buffalo fried cauliflower? Fuuuuuuck that shit is good. Not enough to make me not want chicken wings, but enough to scratch the itch. I don't put a label on myself. I do eat meat occasionally. I ate meat on Christmas. Every once in a while I eat a frozen pepperoni pizza because it's 3am and that's all that I can get at the time. I have no shame in it. BUT.... I love vegan food. Once you get out of the realm of "prepare your meat like so, then follow the bullshit rest of the recipe," you can have so much fun. The only thing vegan food can't replace is solid cheese. It's terrible, 100% of the time. Honestly though, at this point I actually prefer beyond/impossible brats/burgers, since they don't fuck my stomach up so much.

Keyser_Soze Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 If vegans called it what it was they wouldn't be able to wave it in front of your face. "I just ate VEGAN orange chicken and had VEGAN cheesecake for dessert!"

Bacon Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 As someone who will never be vegan I'd rather be lied to and eat vegan buffalo wings than breaded seasoned cauliflower. Now, you may be more disappointed if you tried vegan buffalo wings as your expectations are chicken wings, but many people wouldn't even give "breaded seasoned cauliflower" a shot due to cauliflower being in the name. Like, if johnny or Fizzzzle had the unfortunate experience of walking up to me and offering me vegan wings or cauliflower, I'd at least try the wings (before I knew it was just cauliflower) and I most likely wouldn't be willing to try the cauliflower.

Keyser_Soze Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Why don't you just be willing to eat cauliflower? Ever had those cauliflower noodles in the mac and cheese? Tastes fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
