Food 2: Chew Harder • Page 61

Not the greatest photo but I made some beyond beer brats. Pilsner Urquell not pictured.

 

Looks look summertime.

 

3 months later i’m really getting the hang of this

 

I love mussels

 

Had friends visiting, so I took them out to some Vancouver/Portland restaurants.

doughnuts in a berry compote. Forgot to take a better pic of the actual doughnuts, oops


Fried chicken and waffle from the same breakfast spot. The waffle was pretty standard, but the chicken was so good.


Pizza from a brewery. Pepperoni, beer braised pulled pork, sausage, jalapeños, pineapple.

 

Love me some chicken and waffles.

 

Double post.

Wild Mushroom Ragu, Butternut Bolognese Liz-agna, and a giant ass Chicken Parm.


The highlight of all the food. A popular Thai/Southern BBQ place in Portland called Eem. This is the white curry w/ brisket burnt ends. Next to it is the BBQ fried rice w/ mushrooms, shishito peppers, chili jam, and fried shallot.


Also from Eem. Sweet and sour fried chicken w/ red curry powder and cilantro.

 

This bbq duck bao bun is the greatest thing I’ve ever eaten (it’s the bottom one).

 

Some extra spicy clam fra diavolo

 

what wine you sippin on?

 

I work in product development and spent the last few months helping launch some new ice cream bars that I think are incredibly innovative and delicious! if you can find them at a store near you I’d highly recommend picking them up. I think deep sea is my favorite but the brownie batter is sooo good too.

 

@Ken Can you please email me one order?

 

What's the best energy drink? I feel like nothing I try works and nothing tastes good. I drank a cup of coffee in the morning and a watermelon Red Bull a few hours later and I still felt exhausted, and the latter was still kinda gross. The other day I tried a Monster latte and that was fine I guess, still didn't get the boost I wanted. Maybe caffeine just doesn't work for me anymore. Celsius is the last thing I remember sort of liking the taste of

 

I normally drink rockstar zero. Bang is probably the one I feel the most but pricier

 

The Seaberry Redbull is the least Redbull-tasting variant I've had and I love it. Tastes like a squeeze-it (I'm old).

 

I like most of the Celsius flavors and the coconut red bull

 

Ghost and Alani are my go to’s. Ghost tastes very good

 

Full disclosure though I also sell those brands for a living. Gfuel which I also sell, I would NEVER recommend lol.

 

Crispy duck w/ vegetables, fried egg, and jasmine blue rice.

 

I don't have a NY times thingy to view the whole thing so if you'd be kind and could send me the details... this seems right up my alley.

 

What's your preferred sub size? I was thinking about how Subway 6" isn't really filling enough but I can't finish an entire footlong by myself either. I don't really know where there'd be other sizes, I'm not too picky with sandwiches so I never bothered to look, Subway (with coupons) is just convenient

Anyway back to the topic of energy drinks I tried another Celsius today and it definitely tasted better than any Monster or Red Bull I've had

 

A lot of our local pizza places sell 16 inch subs so I usually get those and save half for leftovers

 

I can't do a large sub as I think leftover sandwiches get gross. When the bread gets soggy, it's ruined for me and I can't eat it. I even get annoyed if I buy jersey mikes and can't eat it in 10 minutes as the bread starts to get wet and it's so offputting texturally that I end up eating around the soggy parts and throwing a lot away. It's really the only textural thing that bothers me.

So yea, any sub size that I can eat in one sitting is the best which can include up to a footlong if it's not like a super monster loaded sub.

 

Target had a deal on Reign Storm so I'm trying it. Not bad
