OK, it’s day nine, so i double masked and distanced and got takeout from the window at Burgers Never Say Die.

Glad you’re feeling better and that covid didn’t kill your fast food/greasy food cravings!

I’m sick of soup, leftover Hoppin johns, pork shoulder, and all the healthy crap I’ve made.

Today I had to give in.

I’m REALLY craving roasted vegetables LOL

I think most of you find Mian to be just ok, if I’m not mistaken, but I have to say that I am obsessed with their Crispy Skin Chicken. It has such perfect shatteringly crisp skin and moist meat and the seasoning that comes with it is so damn good.

Their other stuff is very satisfying to me as well.

@SpockSpork said recently, “There’s a smashburger place that’s supposed to be good, and it’s got a funny name…”

Me: “‘Burger Never Say Die???’ @Gr8pimpin talks about it all the time [relatively speaking]!” :slight_smile:

Glad you are feeling well enough to be up and about.

Really great. I needed something with salt!!

The patties weren’t as crispy as I’ve had. The fries weren’t as crispy.

WAIT… maybe COVID messes with your ability to detect crispness.

LOL , ha ha. Yep!!

Thank you!! Appreciate you :slight_smile:

Didn’t have enough time to get to the Win-Dow’s new location for a bang x2. Had to get back home for a zoom meeting.

Has some truly excellent cold Sichuan noodles recently at the W. Adams locale. Other things I have had there weren’t so great (hot noodles and dumplings). But I really loved the cold noodles.

I was out in Lynwood for a Covid test (all thanks to the Curative website) and found myself at the local chain Bobo’s Burgers. Since I don’t think I’ll be back there in a bit I got the fried zucchini, the onion rings, french fries and a chicken breast sandwich. ($22 total)

The food was hot and quick - my ranking went onion rings, french fries, zucchini. The zukes were fried large slices, almost wedges. If cut thinner the rankings would shift fast.

No pics but had a Jon and vinnys picnic with my usual suspects meatball, mushroom pizza, vodka fusilli, and spicy salad. Went with a wild card which turned out fantastic ham and yeezy pizza def a must order.

I miss having a Jon and vinnys nearby.
