Mc Ribs is coming back september 30th 2k11

[xenomorph42]

Taco Factory is my fav....L-size drink is like 2L!! (and 2L of Horchata is amazing! ahaha)

Most Japanese probably couldn't stomach Horchata.

It's funny reading these enthusiastic posts notwithstanding the fact they aren't really about the McRib.

Don't blame us, homie! You just had to talk, show and distract us with these tantalizing pics of the most awesomest sandwiches, how can you not talk about them? Mc Rib, who?

Curse you!:cool:

Yeah I f*cked up on that one. Sorry for the thread hijack.

Yeah, like totally yer fault, we was speaking aboot McDo then you started speaking aboot real food...

Which is...

Quite an improvment in fact...

No picture but back in Paris there was a sandwich shop making Chicken-Tandory paninis... it wuz awesum...

I did go and have a double McRib yesterday. I asked them to hold the mayo, and got some bbq sauce used for McNuggets. No problems with the ordering or getting the bbq sauce, even though the girl did not wear the uniform of management. Had to scrape off that awful soggy lettuce that the the tiny bits of freeze-dried onion had stuck to. The bun was cold and a bit soggy where it met the meat. The meat itself was meh, and the bbq sauce was definitely the only thing that saved a rather mediocre product...

Mediocre McRib, so therein lies the rub.

I guess the bar was set pretty low given the fact we were discussing the bastardization of McDonald's - master of mass produced food-like units.

[Mike Oxlong]

They use real chopped onion on the Double Quarter Pounder, so it's not like they don't have at least some of the right ingredients on hand. This is not a BLT or some sort of chicken sando. BBQ sauce and/or mustard is the way to go...

true that... Japanese people dont drink/eat milk/dairy products as much as latinos do...

about the mexican food... if you are mentioning restaurant names... it aint mexican food or texmex... that would be guerro food (a distant cousin of texmex).

if you want good mexican/texmex, go to a place without a fancy entrance and sign, no parking, and where you see no white/black/asian people eating there.

bring a latino that speaks spanish with you so you can get latino prices and extra portions.

Not sure about that, I know far more Chinese/Koreans that can't stomach dairy...

...but then again, Horchata isn't dairy and has rice. The only thing it has going against it for Japanese is the sweetness.

Just market it as nigorizake.

Depending on who makes it there is a small amount of condenced milk... i never made it but my grand ma nakes two or three different batches with different ingrediants... i could be wrong... cocktails is my gig... but not horchata...

Wow! I am truly amazed that you had the balls to go and buy one of those crappy, really crappy....can't even call that mess a sandwich.
You are more of a man than I am, that's for damn sure!

Yeah but he'll have the chance to make it up grubbing on tacos, tortas, and burritos in a few months. All is forgiven.

cocktails == drink
horchata == drink
one who makes drinks usually know the general know how on how to make other drinks based on taste/texture/trend... and me being a mexicant drinking horchata for many years... it is sorta dumb that I dont know how to make horchata.

my grandma still holds a grudge on me about learning Japanese before Spanish. but she is a bit more happy now cause my kids will get better* jobs knowing japanese rather than spanish.

*to my grandma...
knowing spanish = working construction or other mexican work
knowing japanese = working in a nice office with electric stuffs or cars

Tell your grandma it ain't 1985 anymore.

BTW, you'r right about how to find good Mexican food. My brother lives in Arizona and we basically figured the best food must be at the place my step mother refused to go to.

I think another way to tell whether or not it's real Mexican is by what beer most of the customers order. If they sell more Corona than Bud Light there are too many Gringos stopping by.

You can also tell by the choice of meats. If the choices include brains and internal organs you're getting the real thing.

[quote="Samurai_Jerk"]Tell your grandma it ain't 1985 anymore. ]
grandma just cant get past 1985... really old school, but love her to bits.

if they have nama beer... count it out...

right on about the beer and meats...

IF they have menudo or pozole... you are at the right spot! sooo bomb... get a corn tortilla with a couple dabs of salt and lime (limon)
menudo on wiki

[Doctor Stop]

Do they have a stamp card for 10% off angioplasty after 30 or so McRibs?

I remember them having bacon on them in Japan ten or so years ago. Just like now, there was much less sauce than was acceptable.

Bacon can save anything...well, almost anything

I'm quite familiar with Pink's in any event since I hail from that town.

Just been researching a bit as the trip is not too far off now...

It's boom time for hot dogs in L.A. Pink's and Tommy's are going strong, with newcomers Dog Haus, Federal Bar, Slaw Dogs, Coney Dog and Papaya King raising the stakes.

[travlr1134]

The pork bits that make up the meat include "tripe, heart and scalded stomach," which is bad enough. But the chemical additives that go into the sandwich are even worse. Allegedly, when the additives aren't binding lung and liver bits together, they're used for keeping yoga mats springy and shoe soles white.

A hot dog isn't a sandwich! What are lung and liver bits? I bet they're kinda like that Cratz stuff.

I'm already cutting slices all the wife's yoga mat for my lunch sandwiches. Not bad with a slice of cheese on thin salted matzo.....

Not sure if that's kosher, but we're deep into pig parts here, so my apologies to the rabbi and the mohel who did a bunch of biker crank before he snipped more than he should have....I know I was hung like John Holmes at birth.

Holy Shit! I got a freezer full of Hebrew National Hot Dogs. Don't tell me they were opened by a mohei selling leftovers.....

[Greji]

On the second thought, the hot dogs are kinda curly. Do they practice on pigs at mohei school?

Papaya King is a transplant from NY. I've gone to to the L.A. location many moons ago. Not the same and not worth it. I wouldn't go back. (Read: this place sucks & is overrated). Pink's is iconic for L.A. so there's a much stronger argument to visit there. I've heard of some of the other locations you mentioned above but I haven't been.

Another trend regarding "food in tube form" has been the emergence of a handful of German sausage joints (perhaps loosely) modeled on the concept of a biergarten. The first & foremost among them that began the trend is a
joint called Wurstkuche, original location near Downtown and a second location which recently opened in Venice.

Good sausages, good Belgian fries, and a large selection of imported German & Belgian beers.
