I actually can though
And I do mine just a bit better than yours tbh
My dad could. (He’s not dead, he just doesn’t cook em very often)
yeahhhh they all say that ;)
Exactly!
Besides, I cook the best roast potatoes.
Okay, here's the plan. Everyone send me their potatoes and I will rank them as a certified lover of roast potatoes.
I mean, obviously each city needs a roast potato competition. I volunteer as jury.
Inside it's just potato. The best bit is the crispy exterior! You've got to fluff up the outside and get plenty of flour on to crisp up. Also smaller is better due to the increased ratio of surface area.
If they're bad I just drown them in gravy anyway
You don't need flour if you parboil them in water with a little baking soda before you roast them. Much better with the potato slurry on the outside getting crispy.
Toss the potatoes in some duck fat with salt, rosemary, and crushed garlic before you put them in the oven and you're all set.
FR, though. My sister makes the BEST roasted potatoes I've ever had. It's literally one of the best dishes at Thanksgiving, and everyone wishes she made extra despite making extra already. Considering her turkeys (yes multiple at one dinner) and homemade breads are already amazing, the potatoes are so good they usually take the top spot at her Thanksgiving dinners.
I think this is because they make it the best according to their preferences, which is different for everyone.
In the US, it's scrambled eggs. I'm a weirdo who doesn't really like eggs, but I've had to try "the best scrambled eggs ever!" about 100 times.
Cake pops. Remember the cake pops craze? They're worse than a slice of cake and worse than a lollipop. Who wants half a bite of cake?
cake for people who hate cake, and lollipops for people who hate lollipops, and dessert for people who hate dessert
Yeah I was going to say... I love cake pops and was so confused by this one. But I've never really been a fan of just cake so maybe your comment explains it 😂 It's just way better when it's denser to me.
More like a flavored brownie pop... or a frosted cookie pop.
They were also a huge pain in the ass to make
And involve a LOT of touching. I refuse to eat a cake pop at a birthday party unless they say it came from a proper bakery.
I agree but man do my nieces disagree. They are 6,5,3 and 2 and nothing is better then a cake pop to them lol
Cake pops are just a dense, overly sweet mush. In no way do they resemble cake.
I think it depends what you're eating.
They can be made either by mushing up cake with icing and rolling it into a ball (what you've had, I guess), or by making a sphere of cake which you then ice, coat in chocolate, or whatever - in which case they're literally a lump of cake.
My kids were desperate to make them so we got a mould. They're really easy to make, but also a complete faff to decorate. The end result is indeed "meh", mostly because you're wondering why you took the time to try and decorate a single mouthful of cake upside down.
I don't know, but I'm totally down for spend $5-10 for each one.
Only if it contains superfoods such as Matcha and Goji berry which will totally measurably boost my health levels into the stratosphere
Yes!!!!! In my 10 years on Reddit, I’ve never yelled out loud “YES!!! OH. MY. GOD. YES!” I did today.
Cake pops were fucking gross. I had one once and then saw how they were made. No fucking way. Yeah, the bakery might use gloves, but I guarantee my cousin’s boogery sticky-fingered kids don’t. Mashing all those boogers and dirt into the cake pops. My stomach turned when I saw the video of a lady making them and not wearing gloves. And she washed her hands on cam. And that was still nasty AF.
And aside from the hygiene problem, they taste like gluey shit on a stick. And the chocolate dip is always the cheapest shittiest chocolate they can find. Ugh. Gross.
Fuck cake pops. We can be friends.
I actually really like these. They helped me when I was losing weight. I didn’t want to deny myself goodies, but the cake pops were a great way to have a treat without eating a whole bunch.
Luckily, we have a local business that hand makes everything and her cake pops are the best ones I’ve ever had in my entire life (even compared to some “real” bakeries). She just started on FB and finally bought a store front last year because her goods are so delicious and the demand was so high.
But they’re not for everyone, that’s for sure. They’re a great little snack for limiting yourself (or kids) but finding good ones, really good ones, is a challenge.
As a bonus, hers are only $3
In the Navy, on deployment, there’s a frozen chicken cordon bleu that people call “hamsters.” Everyone swears it’s the best but, on god, it’s the blandest thing I’ve ever had. I’ve had medium rare boiled chicken with more flavor.
I think people loved the hamsters so much purely because they were consistently good. There was pretty much no variation in quality, unlike pretty much any other food from the galley. If it wasn't cooked long enough it was just cold but still edible, and as long as it wasn't burnt to a crisp it was still pretty good.
My uncle was gifted some very expensive caviar I was so excited to try it on a cracker i spat it out its tasted disgusting like a salty sand texture. He thought this was hilarious he laughed so hard he spilled the rest onto a thick rug we both just stared at it for what felt like ages and both broke down laughing.
Were you two sober?
This is the answer I was looking for. Please can someone explain the appeal? It’s not just meh, it’s bad
The McRib. It finally came to Canada again a few weeks ago and I finally got to see what all the fuss was about. It's reminds of the cafeteria pork sandwich I'd eat on Fridays in junior high
Here’s the thing about the McRib. They can’t always have it on the menu because people think it’s disgusting. So they make it seasonal, people forget and go “Hey, it’s McRib time!” Eat one and realize it’s disgusting and then forget about it until it comes back around again
I think people actually hate it but because it's a limited time thing they forget and go buy it to realize oh ya it sucks. Then the cycle repeats.
I actually like it BECAUSE it tastes like the pork sandwiches I'd get in elementary/middle school
Expensive steak or chicken at a restaurant. $30 for a piece of chicken breast with some sauce on it is never worth it. I can do a better job at my own house.
Prove it! Table for one tonight.
*checks username*
Uh, maybe don't invite this particular user to dine.
Yeah if that person shows up with a bottle of chianti and fava beans, lock the doors.
I’ll disagree on the steak since a great steak can be amazing; but yeah. . . chicken breast is the boring cut
Crumbl cookies
You don't like expensive under baked cake-cookies with 3 days worth of you sugar in a disc?
sounds pretty good when you put it like that actually
I've never had one but it's so divisive when it's brought up. Many say it's just overpriced and nothing amazing. Others love it... I think it's just one of those novelty things and will probably not be around too long.
Sales people buy the hell out of them to give clients. They're really good when they're free
I think they're genuinely good and better than anything you can get in a grocery store, and they're a step up from Insomnia, but they aren't twice as good as something like Insomnia but cost 2-3 times as much. They're just really expensive. For cookies.
yes. When they opened a location in my city here in Canada the lines we're hours long. I never went and still haven't. I already learned that high-end cookies taste gross from similar places. I'll just buy a pack of m&m cookies from Costco instead. Those are good cookies imo.
Their ads/sponsorships were so annoying I swore to never eat any. Then people started sharing a clip of a Crumbl employee with a stack of cake mix boxes.
growing up in germany with a lot of tv series from the US, i spent most of my childhood thinking Mac ' n Cheese is one of the greatest meals on this planet... until i tried them. It was... ok? Was a bit dissapointed and would take Käsespätzle over those any day.
I guess the hype is mostly because kids in the US grew up with that and its nostalgia for them, which is fair.
Not sure how a meal as simple as Mac and cheese can vary so much.
Of all the foods, I think Mac and cheese may have the highest variance of how good it actually is.
Yea... can be anywhere from a 1/10 meal to a 9/10 lol.
I feel bad that you've never had a 10/10 Mac before. It's definitely a high you'll chase again forever but that perfect blend of slight al dente pasta, creamy flavorful cheese that isnt too much or too little, served almost immediately and topped with a nice bread crumb crunch. Paired with the craving, it's the perfect comfort food.
I had it one time on a whim from a high end bar a few years back and even that place can't replicate what I had that day. I don't eat it often but I absolutely know what my Mac and Cheese dragon tastes like.
If you have a Capital Grille near you (it's a chain restaurant), your description of mac and cheese brought back memories of their lobster mac and cheese. Definitely try it!
And price isn't necessarily an indicator of quality. I've had some pretty expensive mac and cheese from restaurants that was barely better than the instant stuff.
Conversely, I've had a $2 side of mac in a styrofoam cup served to me by a sweaty man in a hairnet that blew my mind.
It’s the quality of ingredients and preparation methods. The same would be true for any highly processed meal vs. more traditional “from scratch” cooking methods.
Käsespätzle is probably my favorite food of all time. I also add a shit load of Röstzwiebeln, but that is between me and my cardiologist
After reading Marvel comics in the 70s and 80s I was desperate to try twinkies and when I eventually did they were awful. Plus hersheys chocolate. Still haven't tried a Slim Jim but I expect it's just a pepperami.
Not as good as pepperoni IMO.
I dont know why every american teen book character i read was obsessed with twinkies. If there wasnt a texture difference between the wrapper and the thing inside i wouldnt know the difference
Honestly it depends where you get mac n cheese from, you can easily go to a place that make terrible mac n cheese. Most of the good ones are in BBQ restaurants or soul food oriented restaurants.
Some places will literally serve Kraft and that stuff is nasty to people other than children or those with picky taste buds.
I was in a soul food restaurant in New York and the "vegetables of the day" were broccoli or mac-n-cheese. That was 16 years ago - I'm still chuckling about it. And the mac-n-cheese there was very nice, but it was NOT a vegetable!
It's a Southern thing, any side item that doesn't have meat is considered a "vegetable side".
It is in the south
Käsespätzle
Kraft dinner can be a bit "meh", but home made mac and cheese using quality cheese and with breadcrumbs is amazing.
Mac and cheese with a proper roux base and a little spice will knock your socks off. And Kraft Mac will never taste one tenth as good in reality as it does in my memory of having it twice a week when I was a child.
matcha anything - and any overprioced wagyu burgers (it's just wasting money mincing it all up)
I love matcha but I hate almost all matcha products because they add too much sugar to sweeten the whole thing that you just can’t taste any matcha in it. The bitterness from matcha is like the essence!!
My local shop switched to unsweetened matcha and it’s great. I order it half-sweetened with vanilla and it’s just right.
Don't know what you're talking about... matcha is awesome.
Ceremonial grade hot Matcha is awesome. Super sugary shit with a pinch of shitty matcha is also awesome. Anything else matcha is horrible
Tastes kinda like dirt to me. But I have a friend that really likes it. Matcha Kit-Kats aren't too bad though.
I don't think they're still hyped, but the "pho-ritto", "sushi bagel", and "sushi burrito" phase was a *lot*.
Also, bacon. It doesn't need to be in everything.
I don't think they're still hyped, but the "pho-ritto", "sushi bagel", and "sushi burrito" phase was a lot.
Never heard of any of those. What region are they from?
Usually asian fusion places in the US. I disagree with the sushi burrito cuz the places here that make them, they are just uncut sushi rolls. The sushi burgers and bagels thing is just weird. Its just a plating method and doesn't add anything to traditional sushi.
There was a place by me that did "sushi pizza," but unlike the pictures you see where some place did an abomination of topping a pizza with sushi toppings, theirs was two strips of rice and nori that they pressed in a griddle so it had a crunch to it, with sushi filling in the middle, and they cut it to triangles.
Have never seen anywhere else do rolls like that, but theirs was so good.
Also, bacon. It doesn't need to be in everything.
When does the narwhal bacon?
It’s an older meme, sir, but it checks out.
"The Narwhal Bacons at Midnight" meme turns 15 this year.
Sushi Burritos are fucking great. Basically Poke Bowl in a wrap. At least the ones I've seen.
red velvet cakes, just so meh to me
Nobody actually likes red velvet more than other cake. It's just more socially acceptable to ask for red velvet cake than it is to request a bowl full of cream cheese frosting.
When I want cream cheese frosting, I get carrot cake.
I prefer carrot cake too, but I feel like normal carrot cake has a reasonable amount of frosting spread on it. Red velvet seems to have accepted its role and just has that stuff glopped on in quantity.
Carrot cake is the much better vehicle for cream cheese frosting, plus you can tell yourself it counts as a vegetable
So here's one thing I can say, I work for some celebrity d-bag that made me go to the drawing board on red velvet cake for about a week. Ended up making a moist oil based cake with liquid cheesecake center ( momofuko) and what I would do for the icing is meltdown some cream cheese with bloomed gelatin blended in with whipped cream to make a cream cheese flavored whipped cream that was pretty light so that's the only time I've ever liked red velvet and it's horrible but the d bag did make me better at it.
( momofuko)
Samuel L Jackson's favourite cake.
my partner wanted a red velvet cake for his birthday cause it’s his favorite. im a pretty good baker. once it was time to eat i tasted it and was like, yeah this is just cake.
Red velvet is usually served with a cream cheese frosting. As someone with strong preferences on baked goods until I grew up to be a chef, I didn’t realize I just strongly preferred cream cheese frostings, and the cake they were on didn’t really matter.
I'm entirely the same way. In fact, I personally feel like too much buttercream can easily ruin an otherwise delicious cake. But too much cream cheese frosting only enhances what might otherwise be a mediocre cake.
Interesting. I wonder if I’m the same and what I’d think of carrot cake without a cream cheese frosting.
Carrot cake at least has an interesting texture.
My favorite thing about red velvet cake is the number of people who hate chocolate but love red velvet… red velvet these days is just white cake mix with cocoa powder and red food dye (the red color used to come from a chemical reaction of ingredients). So it’s basically a red dyed chocolate cake anyway.
I never tell them though, because I don’t want to ruin their favorite cake by telling them their least favorite ingredient is in it - I’m not a monster.
You would make a good parent. Why ruin someone else's good time if it's making them happy and not hurting anything?
I'm the opposite lol. I like chocolate cake, and know red velvet is just chocolate, but usually dislike red velvet. And I don't think it's the frosting because carrot cake is also my favorite cake and that is always that?
Turducken. The one I tried basically had all the ingredients cancel each others flavors out so you were just left with the texture of flesh.
I don’t eat food with any references to rectums, anuses, or fecal matter in their name. That goes for hot sauces with names like “anal angst,” and that goes for turducken.
Plus, it’s just a rock-stupid idea to begin with.
Tomahawk steaks. You're literally paying like $50 to $100 extra for bone.
Macarons
People talk about variation in quality with Mac and Cheese, but macarons have the highest chance of being great or absolute crap. I always felt “eh” about them but then a bakery opened up from a high end baker in the area and the macarons are phenomenal with tons of different flavor combinations. It’s an incredibly mixed bag.
disagree they're magical if you get good ones in france
I think you just have to get it from the right place. I had the same opinion too till one time I got them as a gift and I liked them! I thought I would hate it because I tried it at this place and I hated them. It really depends.
I feel like there's this big fandom for oysters and they just seem gross in every way
I love them, I think they taste great! But I can definitely understand why people don’t like them.
Maybe cos my dad got me eating them at a young age they're one of my favorite things on the planet.
Mediocre oysters can ruin someones whole perception of them. If you have good oysters, god damn, theyre good. Lil lemon n hotsauce? Say no more!
The smaller, cold water oysters are divine
The thing is, you could splash a little lemon and hot sauce on a pile of trimmed pubic hair and it would probably taste good.
As a huge seafood fan that comes from a 5 generations of seafood restauranteurs in the Pacific Northwest, I can totally understand this.
But just like anything else, when done right, oysters are amazing. Raw oysters, to me, are like the apex of sushi. The problem is there is a fine line between being a great experience and being horrible and most people and places tend to fuck it up. That’s just my take on it.
I like mussels, clams, and oyster......cooked. raw oyster is just snot that tastes like seawater, tried them once a couple years ago and was not a fan at all. Deep fried oysters on a po-boy is the most heavenly sandwich. Im a huge sushi fan too, but raw oyster are gross (how they are seen as an aphrodisiac blows my mind)
I didn't get them until I lived in Massachusetts. Also, still cannot bring myself to enjoy cooked/fried oysters or even just non-New Englands
Similar, I'd only ever had raw oysters from P.E.I, and never understood why anyone would ever want to cook them. Then I went New Orleans, and had oysters from the Gulf Coast, and realized why.
I'm assuming that the oysters from the colder, northern, waters have more fat in them, thus making them tastier so no need to cook them.
Never understood it. I'm the least picky eater in the world, but oysters would probably be a last place choice.
I love oysters but I’ll never knock someone who doesn’t like them or even want to try them. They look gross haha
Tex-Mex style tacos. If the place is charging $8 per taco and constantly shown on social media you’re going to get the most weakest taco experience imaginable unless you have bland taste buds.
If the person making your taco barely can speak English that’s how you know you’re in the right place.
If you roll up to the place and there are more minivans than contractor vans, you're not getting good tacos.
If you're pretty sure you've gotten lost trying to find the place and end up in a parking lot packed full of dented-up pickups and work vans, that's a good sign. The sign out front is either tiny or handmade, bonus if it is a room tucked behind another, barely related business or the kitchen is on wheels. You walk in and see a lot of dirty dudes wearing faded hi-viz and packed shoulder to shoulder around mixed matched tables. You've found the right place. Loosen your belt, it is time for a culinary experience.
Same goes for good barbeque.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more accurate description than this
There's a place near me that is obviously family owned, only the daughter speaks English and she works the front. She's probably 16 or 17 now, but she was around 12 when I started going there. Delicious, inexpensive, and they have authentic Mexican Coke!
You definitely went to the right spot, either that or you’ll see a 10 year old at the register translating for their parents. You can easily get a meal for $10 bucks.
Their homemade salsas can’t be compared!
I'm spoiled rotten. I live minutes from TJ, and the food trucks are like every block. Sometimes some Mexican couple will be outside of a bar serving street tacos.
"BABE PULL OVER, LETS GET LIKE EIGHT AND NOT COOK TONIGHT. PULL OUT CASH FIRST. FUCK, THEY ALSO HAVE TAMALES!"
I have to disagree with the English bit. That has nothing to do with being able or willing to make your food with love. I've had plenty of bad tacos from poor English speakers.
Takis!!! They are so over seasoned and taste like crap but everyone seems to love them.
Velveeta. I'll take a box of kraft over that brick shiy any day. Fight me.
Turkisch delight, read in several books how people craved turkisch delight because it was so so good... its not... its like a really weird gummi treat.
Lol, someone’s been reading the Chronicles of Narnia. . . Happened to me too, heard how that little traitor wanted them so bad and sold out his family for some sweets then when I finally try it I was like “dafaq is this!?”
I just read this book to my kids, and it's clear that the Turkish delight Edmund gets is magical. So just sprinkle some opium on it or something for that extra addictive effect
Someone online pointed out that the kids were dealing with war time rationing (and were British), that single plate of Turkish Delight had probably more sugar (and flavor) than Edmund had eaten in the past couple of years combined.
Personally, I like Turkish Delight, but it definitely isn't worth betraying your family over
Oh yeah, I remember hearing that take and it makes a sense and helps put it into perspective, but yeah. . . Edmund had a problem, lol.
I had the same experience. I was a big fan of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, in which a character pretty much sells out his family for some Turkish Delight. I thought it would be some type of amazing, fluffy, creamy, dream candy. Nope. Jelly candy covered with powdered sugar or (much, much worse) coconut. What a huge letdown that was.
I think you have to see it through the lens of the times too - these were kids who were escaping the London Blitz - so 1940s kids in the middle of heavy rationing. They weren't modern kids with easy access to candy and junk food at will. They can't stop at the store and get some gummy worms.
That might genuinely been one of Edmund's favorite sweets, and he might not have been able to have much for candy at all for some time.
Ok you probably never had good Turkish delight then. Most turkish delights sold like in Europe and NA is gross. I grew up eating Turkish delight with biscuits in the Middle East and it was the best treat. My favourite was rose water turkish delight. But in Canada the turkish delight tastes a little artificial and idk. I haven't had a good one since my childhood living with my grandma.
Yes! I never liked Turkish delights, but I just came back from Istanbul and they are delicious! The stuff we have back in Canada is not the same at all.
Cheesy deep fried banana was a viral food in Malaysia. It tastes so underwhelming.
Cheesy deep fried banana
Wrap it in bacon and conquer Scotland with it. Make a fortune.
Loaded fries. They're just a soggy mess.
Yeh, if you’re eating this, just use a fork. But even then, it might as well just be a loaded baked potato
Caviar.
Bro, it's salty fish eggs. It's not all that!
I had some expensive caviar at a friend’s birthday party. They had a little caviar bar. It was a great time and it was delicious. We didn’t know which one was more cost-wise, it was revealed later. You could absolutely taste the difference. It was a 1920s themed party and it was a blast. Definitely not a thing to do often, but it was fun for the birthday.
I have nothing against caviar, but in the grand scheme of all the things you can eat? I'd say it's definitely overrated.
Even tho I do like pancakes I am rarely in the mood to eat them. So when I see people going out to to eat them it's just so weird to me. It's a plain meal but especially it is off putting when all kinds of sweets are poured on them.
Pancakes are good in theory but any time I'm at a breakfast joint, there are better breakfast foods that I rather order so I just never end up getting them

It is my humble opinion that the fast food burger is superior to the gourmet meat slab burgers.
Since I spent the night on the toilet throwing up in a bowl in my lap, I will say “leftover sushi” is always a bad idea.
Okay I was born and raised in Cali and I love the food, but In-N-Out. The reason why I say that is because people from out of state have the highest expectations for it. The reason it's so good is because of the value and quality compared to other fast food places, so it's a nice option to have when you don't want to think about what to eat. But when you're coming from out of state and never tried it before, expectations are through the roof and I could see why it gets the overrated label.
I like it because it’s very consistent and the place is always clean. They also have rigorous standards. It was even endorsed in Fast Food Nation, the book about how terrible and gross all fast food is.
White chocolate. It's just too sweet and disgusting.
Yes. Because technically it's not even chocolate.
If it's not chocolate what is it? I'm genuinely curious. I don't eat it because I think it's gross but my kids like the cookies and cream candy bars every so often.
its made from cocoa fat but not the rest of the cocoa
Not a food, but any spice that burns your mouth. I don’t see the appeal myself.
I like spicy with flavor. Spicy just to be spicy is gross. Like flaming hot Cheetos and stuff is gross. Pho with jalapeno is delicious.
Truffle…anything
I think with the right mix is delicious because it has such soft and nice flavor, but it needs to be on top of something with a delicate flavor as well, such as an alfredo pasta or garlic butter.
But it might still not be everyone’s cup of tea.
Also depends if they're using actual truffles (good) or just truffle oil (gross).
Yeah I’m talking about they go with the truffle in hand and they grate the thing right in front of you.
I don't think truffle oil is gross, it's just nothing compared to actual truffles. And it's often an excuse to charge way more for something that supposedly has a "fancy" ingredient but actually is artificially flavored.
So musty, I like earthy flavors but truffle everything is annoying. Truffle fries? Really? Did you sprinkle them with a half teaspoon of truffle oil? Cool. Because I don't think this sports bar is buying black truffles from france at $150 an ounce.
100% agree, can’t stand the stuff. The taste just lingers and over rides most other flavours.
Cheap artificial truffle flavoring has ruined truffles. Simple pasta with butter and real black truffle is amazing. Truffle flavored nachos made with synthetic truffle oil?? ((Shudder))
I've come to realize that other people must taste something completely different when they taste truffles. Because every time I've tried truffles they tasted like dirt and feet.
I'm with you. Have been fortunate enough to eat at some high-end restaurants and some will grate a load of truffle on certain dishes, but it just ruins the dish for me.
Moon pies. I actually don't even care for them. But "meh" is about the most I've ever been able to muster as a reaction to them.
Not really a food but, beer. Don’t get me wrong, beer is good and some microbrews and specialty beers are downright awesome but the mainstream beers that most people drink is just “meh.”
Bud Light. I poured the last one I got for free down the drain. Because that's where it belongs. The only mainstream beer I drink is Budweiser. I've tried all domestic beers and came to the conclusion it's either.
1.piss 2.watered down hops 3.soggy wheaties. 4.Aluminum
Starbucks
Chick-fil-A. I don't get what the big damn deal is! It's a decent chicken sandwich, but it's just a frigging chicken sandwich! Why the slavish devotion?
I'm convinced that the Chick-fil-a obsessed people and Disney adults are the same group of people.
Damn. You nailed it.
It's a fast food place that is very consistent in their service and product. Now that so many fast food places have just tanked in service they stand out as a place that's consistent in quality and friendliness.
If you wait in a 30 minute line for it, yeah it's kinda dumb. It's just fast food chicken, it's not life changing.
On the other hand, yesterday I went to Wendy's and they were so understaffed that getting through a drive thru line of like 4 cars, ordering, and waiting in the parking spot for my food took about 30 minutes and the order was wrong.
Meanwhile, last time I went to CFA I ate in a clean dining room and staff brought me my food, checked on me twice while I was eating, and brought me a refill. So I'll take CFA any day.
It came up while on a first tinder date that I’d never been. She insisted we go. She ordered an extra side of the sauce and drank it. She also later tried to convince me that computers aren’t real even though she was an x-ray tech that used a digital x-ray machine.
Whataburger
When they got bought out, the quality went way downhill.
Their best thing by far though is the 11PM-11AM Breakfast. Drunk taquitos and biscuits after bar hopping in my college years was the best
I woke up to a honey butter chicken biscuit sitting on my chest after a house party, best hungover morning ever. Plus, it was a solid reminder of how great my friends are

Lobster. I live in Maine and don't get the appeal. Even if they weren't so outrageously expensive, I wouldn't eat them.
Truffles. And truffle oil. "Oh please, let me spend an exorbitant amount of money to make my meal taste ever so slightly of dirt!"
Just going to say...while it is stupidly expensive, if you are paying for truffle and it tastes like dirt...you got scammed. It does not taste or make things taste like dirt at all .
Dragonfruit. It tastes like nothing
Nobody likes dragon fruit. Just the crazy way it looks.
Quinoa
Kale
Kombucha. I was expecting more than not very sweet or flavourful juice with much residue within.
I don't get the hype about Chic-fil-A. Perhaps I ordered the wrong thing off the menu it wasn't bad, but to me it was just meh.
Caviar. Had it at the seafood buffet at the Wynn in Vegas recently. It was underwhelming.
I've never had caviar before, but I have eaten at a buffet. If this particular buffet is anything like every buffet I've ever been to, this was maybe not the best representation of what caviar is.
Caviar
Turkey during thanksgiving
In the UK, it's that friend or colleague who claims they cook the best roast potatoes.
Then you try them and you think, yeah not bad. But I've had better.
In the UK, everyone claims they can cook the best roast potatoes.
