Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By WIC: i wish we had more taco johns around here Last time I had Taco Johns was in Colorado. I was excited to eat there because they serve tater tots and you can get nacho sauce. Their tacos are underwhelming in a taco bell sort of way, but it's not every day you can get fast food tater tots and dip them in nacho cheese sauce. So I was excited to get eat there for the tots, I bought some long forgotten taco and a large tater tots with nacho cheese sauce. I drove back to my hotel, went inside, turned on the A/C and HBO, kicked back on the couch, and popped the a tater tot in my mouth... SALT. Lots of salt. Tons of salt. Enough salt to turn a lake into the ocean. I'm willing to give them a try again but the last experience was not pleasant. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 80085: Do you remember what the cost was on the food? I'm disappointed in the slaw and bean portions being so tiny. In fact meat portion is looking slim also, but understandable for a lunch. I am perplexed why, what I assume is a BBQ place, has a bottle of ketchup and mustard on the table. People are dipping their brisket and ribs in ketchup? Why yes, yes I do. Because it cost too much for such crappy food. $16.95 for the main plate, hot links sausage was + $3.95, beer was $8 It was dinner, not lunch. The brisket pile was a decent size and quality, but it came out with BBQ already on it. The BBQ sauce too hot and lacked flavor, rather it took away from the food. Beans were meh. Jicama slaw was meh. Hot link was meh to bad. Frankly the fries were the best thing on that tray, and I am not a potato fan. The ketchup and mustard was there before we ordered. It is a general uninspired restaurant. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 80085: Flat trigger fiber Friday Found a p365 night sight tac pack with 4 mags and the shittiest holster imaginable for $409. It arrived about a week and a half ago. Used a 11% off coupon at optics planet for the WC grip frame and the sig flat trigger. Free shipping! Both back ordered.  Both items shipped from optics planet 3 days later. Dodged the optics planet curse and saved some money. The curved trigger felt like a gravel road. This flat trigger isn’t great but it’s so much better for whatever reason. https://i.imgur.com/MAybC9N.jpeg It does look better as well. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rbb2: Food truck Friday. The Thai one is back. This dish (pad kra prao (spelling maybe?)) was much better than the drunken noodles were last time, which had too much fish sauce. And we always have to get the fresh rolls. These have both cilantro and mint, which is a bit different than what I'm used to. And they serve them with peanut sauce for dipping, not sweet chili sauce, which is also atypical, at least in my experience. Still super yummy though. https://i.imgur.com/GPyXBM3.jpeg Cilantro and mint does occur as does the peanut sauce, maybe a regional thing? |

That's why I didn't say it was "wrong" since I don't know what is "correct" or if both ways are, it's just not what I'm used to at the other places we've gotten them. |

Or maybe they need a cool operator to assist them when demand is high. |

I didn't mention that I made knives, just that I worked for the machine dealer down the road. I'm not sure I have anything to really offer them when they have relationships with real knife designers.
