Sounds good and yes please do!

Did ok, marinated a rack of ribs ( usually do two but it was just my wife and I.

Used Franks Hot Sauce, sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce and a few ounces of coke ( the Soda) LoL.

Trick is slow and low glazed a few times with additional sauce and let stand before slicing em up.

Looks great DP! I've never BBQed before but yes, I hear slow and low is the key to it.

You're ALWAYS doing shit that makes me envious ...where do u find the time???..looks so nice Dues...Gimme Some!!!...

Never? We gotta fix that.
Add New stop on your next trip to NY
If we are really Lucky maybe we could get Hood here on the same Schedule and all grill together bye me or meet up somewhere in Manhattan.






You Sir are always Welcome.
I’m blessed with time , its something no one can purchase and should never be wasted.

That sounds awesome but I only come up 1 time during the year (for Christmas). I don't know if you're gonna wanna be BBQing during December

Can Do.... or We could meet up in Manhattan and I'll take you and Hood to Lunch at one of Favorite places to Hang.

I might take you up on that. Might have some friends meet me in the City. If so, would love to meet up for lunch (would have to do pizza though). It's my favorite and when I'm back home, I stock up on it!

Nice.... you will get your pizza ( after you taste what my guys are serving) - and your friends are more than welcome as well.

Lets do it.... set the dates when you can, if it cant work no worries but lets try..
Hood? Check dates once we get close please.

As of now it's looking like I'm coming up on Friday, December 13 and heading back on Monday, December 30. I haven't bought my plane tickets yet but those are the dates I was looking at. And my friends I believe said they'd come up that weekend (like the 14th) and I'm not sure how long they would plan on staying. I told them because I made the trip last year, but I want to go back to McSorley's again! I love that place. I used to be able to get the beer in the Hudson Valley, which is where I'm from, but they discontinued it and now you can only get it at their place in the city.

Fun place, loaded with students and young guns.

Been there many times.

When the date gets close lets PM and see if we cane meet up.
We will try to get Hood as well or anyone else who wants to meet and hang.

Sounds like a plan sir!

Saw a commercial for KFC's new $5 fill up. I usually don't eat KFC, although out of the fast food chicken chains, I prefer it to the others like Popeye's and Church's. What got me in tonight was their new Mac-n-cheese $5 fill up. It has mac-n-cheese and bites of chicken. It comes in both original and spicy. I tried both and prefer the original but they were both good. Comes with a cookie and drink. Not bad.

For lunch today I tried the new impossible Whopper (plant based patty as opposed to beef). I did what they call a taste test, the impossible whopper and a regular whopper for $7. This was my second time trying it and honestly, I liked it more a second time around and for being plant based, it wasn't too bad. You have to download the BK app for the deal but I think it's worth it. I think it's only good until the 5th so anyone wanting to use it, you have a few more days.

Oh Yeah

Wife thought they look good too.

I will stick to my official order when I go to KFC

3 - WINGS orig.
3- Wings crispy.
1 - breast Orig.
No sides , or specials.

Usually a few pieces left over and they get whacked up later.

The person taking the order is so complexed when I order and tries to figure it in a better scenario for the order being filled out and I refuse.
They think I’m nuts but dont want to waste what they want to give me....
I just want what I want.

And there's nothing wrong with that. That's what America's all about!

Yes Sir.

We went a Applebees tonight, sat at table for ten minutes before anyone even looked at us after several women servers walked passed us.
It was early 4:30, before the rush of 6 - 7pm.

One of the servers walked past us for the 5th time , I said to her " do we have a server"?
sHE SAID " I will check"


We walked out and Went to Outback a few blocks away and had an outstanding dinner with Great Service , Food and Drinks.

Applebees was a goo place but now is just for Children who don't know the difference or care.

Yeah I've been in places like that too (Friendly's was bad about it). I LOVED their food but their service sucked. But yes, poor when you need to flag someone down just to come over to drop off menus and get your drink orders.

We actually had to head over to another area yesterday and saw a Applebees, we thought what the hell, lets go in and see if they are any better.

Service was fantastic and the food I know is the same from corporate but they made better food, pies were fresh and ho and burger and ribs were really good, better than other location and we let them know in a survey at the table.

Tonight chicken on the Q

New recipe I tried last night: Garlic Lover’s Burger on a pretzel bun with fries

That looks great i12

Love those pretzel Buns.

im roasting chicken breast in the oven with a Thai glaze on it, sweet potato and some green beans.

May make a salad as well, will see.

about to eat rice with beans and carrots

Thanks DP, as do I. This was my first time having them at home as I've only had them in restaurants before.

Hot Sausages, peppers , onions and some really nice bread.

I tried Burger King's new Pretzel King (a burger on a pretzel bun). It wasn't bad but it would have been better had the pretzel bun been warmed up. I also tried one of their taco's for the first time. Again, not bad, but could have used some more flavor (was kinda bland but what do you expect for $1?)

So I was really disappointed in both Burger King and KFC yesterday. Burger King I tried their new Pretzel King burger. It comes with mustard, cheese, and bacon. I ordered a double with no mustard or cheese and I had planned on eating it at the restaurant (as I always do). Well, yesterday something happened with the grill and they had the doors open and they were about to close the dining room due to all the smoke in the building. I got my food and had to go home as a result. I ate the taco first and then the burger. Didn't even take a bit in to the burger before I realized BOTH mustard and cheese were on the burger. I tried my best to scrap them off and since I was home, I wasn't willing to drive back up there to correct it (I let it go). After 2 bites into the burger, I realize it's a single and not a double. That was the last straw. I brought the burger back up to Burger King and they made it correctly the second time (luckily they hadn't closed yet and I had them substitute ketchup for the mustard). Again, overall the burger wasn't anything special and would have been better had the pretzel bun been warmed up.

As for KFC, last month I tried their $5 fill up Mac & Cheese bowls (it's mac and cheese mixed with chicken nuggets). These are only for a limited time (and looking at KFC's website today, yesterday may have been the last day for them since the website no longer lists it as a menu item), so I wanted to have them again before being pulled. I ordered 2 of them and they both were lukewarm, like they had been sitting out. They weren't bad but I finished the first and about half of the second before throwing the rest away. Disappointed in both establishments.

Its like a crap shoot lately.....it all depends on the crew working.
sOME CARE AND MOST DONT.

sUCKS

Very true. I only eat out on Sunday's (that's my "cheat day") and I look forward to it all week so it really sucks when you've built something up in your head all week and get a disappointing meal. Just means I won't be back anytime again soon to try it.

Last night I tried a new recipe: Cheesy Chicken Parm Gnocchi
