If I take the fam out, it’s $100 even for a simple deli dinner. I can make a gourmet dinner at home for half that.
I actually feel safer about our power plants after reading your post. You’re smart.
Sounds so yummy.
I just made homemade bbq beef ribs for the Jewish New Year, still enjoying the leftovers. The whole huge pile of ribs - grass fed mind you - cost $40 but that is what ONE serving would cost at a restaurant.
There is no time of day or night that there is not a line of cars stretching into the street at our local in n out. Business is not hurting.
Glad you were able to get some. Yes, it’s a very good product.
I like What-a-Burger. There’s none near me unfortunately. Though I couldn’t go a lot, I’m going to Five Guys less and less these days. The quality of the meat seems to be going down. Seems like they substituted something far less quality in terms of burger. Shame, too. I started enjoying it (on rare occasion) about 5 or 6 years ago.
In and Out
My boys insist on daily stops when we’re traveling the NorCal
They have a couple between Dallas and Austin now but it’s like you said
Lines all the time
We have a new chain in the mid south and Caroline’s called Cook Out
Same sort of deal
Great shakes and made to order burgers
I know the dad of the founder
Flea Market folks in Huntsville AL
My free safety 13 year old makes me drive the 25 miles one night a week to Vandy area to get some
It’s like an outing
I think Nashville of any town east of Big Muddy deserves an In and Out
They are all company owned
Man I’d love a franchise
Things are not good, even in the Bay Air-head area. Within the past week, two moderate-priced, family-friendly restaurants within a mile of each other closed abruptly near me. Both were outlets of small restaurant chains, which make it doubly bad.
Great economy? Low unemployment?? Maybe in the Beltway, where Obama-lama-ding-dong and his cronies ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE just keep adding more and more bureaucracy to keep us minions out in the rest of the country in line.
Pray for a Trump triumph next month.
A good Cook Out burger is the equal of Five Guys and far less expensive, but they do have issues with spotty management from one location to the next. Their headquarters are somewhat local to me here in NC. They’re not new, they’ve been around since the 80’s at least. You knew Junior Samples?
Yeah, that is money making. But they don’t franchise. I love watching them from the car make the fries: peel a potato. Slice it with a fry slicer. Dip em in the oil. Salt. Done.
Like you, we had an acquaintance who owned a few Mickey D’s (his were in South Central). He was a black gentleman, conservative, raising twin boys in a lovely house in a good neighborhood. I still wouldn’t eat that crap but it served that family just fine.
Yes. No doubt that the price was high.
I knew a fellow back in the eighties who had a bright idea about how to get a bunch of free money. He did a slip&fall at a cheap motel then found a cheap lawyer. He won $30k. For that he spent 3 years until the settlement not working and hobbling around with a neck brace and a leg brace and had to refrain from working lest a judge not believe his case to be valid. After he got his settlement he had to spend another year as an invalid in fear of shadowy insurance agents with cameras. So. He made 30k for four years’ actually difficult and uncomfortable work and somehow thought himself a winner, cleverly living off of someone else’s money.
True, but what if you can’t afford to buy a house? What if you can’t get approved for a mortgage? What if there’s more houses on the market than people to buy?
Can’t afford to buy? Well, owning a home is an entitlement. Generations of Americans worked to earn the money for a down payment on a mortgage. People get turned down for loans for various reasons. Some are able to work with banks and loan companies to qualify.
The really good Chinese place in my neighborhood I think is run by a Laotian lady.
She is very nice and knows if nothing else I will go for Crab Rangoon and orange sauce. Whenever I order from there I ask her not to change anything. It’s great as it is.
It’s a small but very well kept up place.
In and Out only builds a new restaurant if it’s within an easy drive from one of their depot/warehouses. That’s how they assure that their food is always fresh. Nashville would have to have enough In and Outs to justify a warehouse. And they don’t franchise.
They plan to build I think a dozen in Texas....two up already
But that is more than 300 miles away
Cookout is the Reaves family
I think the son is the one running the big territory expansion these past 10-15 years
Never knew Junior
Wish I’d known some of the HeeHaw wimmin
