    I have a friend that sous vides all the time and he made brisket for a Super Bowl party and it was probably the best I've ever had.

    My favorite Dorito flavor is probably the Tapatio one. Those are so legit.

    Yeah that was a good game last night. MN still can't compete with Spurs, Warriors, and Rockets though. Shorthanded on both ends. Plus classic Thibs riding starters into the ground.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I would have sex with almost all my female friends based solely on their attractiveness. So I guess I would agree with the statement that dudes don't befriend uggos.

    That is an extremely irrational fear. Would make for a slam dunk case though considering you are in communication with the owner and Airbnb knows exactly who they are. Airbnb is possibly the greatest thing to happen in the travel industry since the introduction of the airplane.

    I was down in the SLO area this weekend and Libertine Brewing had the Modern Times Ghost Train on tap. So damn good. Actually it was an overall A-grade beer experience this weekend. Central Coast Brewing is doing some great things down there and I had some above average brews at BarrelHouse...

    Which sports would you say have more parity? The NBA where we've had the same teams in the Finals three years straight? The NFL where its been the Pats on the AFC side like 5 of the past 7 years?

    Only one I've been to on that list is Kin Khao which is excellent. The wings there are extremely good - great flavor and spice level. Most surprising delicious item I've had there is the curry mushroom mousse. Sounds odd, but it's really good. I do have plans to go to State Bird next month...

    120 Min is disgusting. @Ameraves and I got to try some at a tap takeover in SF and both of us agreed. Pennsylvania Tuxedo is the jam though. Found some of that just last week in SF and I was amped.

    It's pretty easy. Here's what I typically do: In a food processor pulse the following until they come to a cookie dough like consistency: 1 can of chickpeas 1/2 cup red onion 2 tbsp parsley 2 cloves of garlic - or more if you really like garlic 1/2 tbsp lemon juice 1 tsp cumin 1/2 tsp salt...

    I'm strongly considering picking one of those up. I rarely fry, but I hate how much oil it takes and the mess it leaves behind when I do. The only fried things I ever make are fries and falafel. But I wonder how that would work with something like paneer.

    I know the lines are usually ridiculous. I've been to both NY Ippudo locations multiple times. It's worth the ~hour wait. And it's not like you have to stand there the whole time. The 51st St location has a bar and the 4th Ave location has a couple bars next door and they'll text you when...

    That's the issue. Especially when they're supposedly opening what will be their largest location in the world in SF in 2018. There are some really good breweries in Berkeley these days so we'll do some brewery hopping over there but usually the crew is too large to even bother trying to get a...

    I think I should give Momofuku another shot. I went to the one in NY but wasn't too impressed. But I did not get ramen which is what everyone says you should get. I got the big ass fried chicken meal that you need to order like a couple weeks in advance. But if I'm going for ramen in NY, I...

    It's not super expensive like the others you listed, but I think ABC Kitchen is the best restaurant I've been to in NY. I went with some friends and we ordered almost the whole menu and shared.

    This rivalry was full of injuries before Burfict ever came along. And wasn't even instigating anything last night. On the very first series Bell tried to instigate him and pushed him to the ground and Burfict just took it with his hands in the air and Bell got a personal foul called on him...

    The name is not appetizing, but the Gator Balls there are fucking awesome. Smoked chicken stuffed with pepper jack cheese and jalapeno wrapped in bacon and fried. It's a magical appetizer. But beware, they're like pizza rolls. Cut them in half and give them time to cool.

    I don't mind CJ at all. I think it's one of the better fast food chains. The ghetto ass one by the Powell BART station has a special place in my heart. Sometimes 24/7 availability wins out. And the only other 24/7 option around there is Jack in the Box - which deserves a hard pass.
