What I like is when I Google some combination of 'Red Lobster Crab Cake', I get inundated with 'copycat' recipes. Almost as if the Red Lobster recipe is the de facto yardstick to measure crab cakes by.
One of these days I'll have to drive up that part of the coast and gorge myself on crab cakes and lobster rolls.

Turns out these kinds of nuts are super easy to make too if you do. Whip up your preferred mixture of sugar/spices toss some nuts on a baking sheet, sprinkle liberally and bake em for a little while.
GF decided to make some of those sugary holiday nuts last Christmas. Not something I'd eat every day, but pretty fucking good, and cheap as balls when all you gotta do is buy bulk nuts and use spices you already have anyway.

Mentioned these to my office mate and he said he tried them and they aren't that hot. However, I need to caveat that with the fact that this guy grows his own reapers, scorpions, etc. (and gave me a couple plants I'm growing this year too) and can bite off the end of a fresh one and chew it up without dying. I cannot, so for all I know those almonds might blast my face off. I lean more towards them not being that hot though, because I don't see massive warning labels all over it.

Finally made it to Mcdonalds to try the spicy crispy chicken sandwich... Dog shit. Pure dog shit. If it was half the price of Popeyes or CFA, maybe it's passable but at full price? When Popeyes does what Mcdonalds is trying to do better in every way? CFA where it's always fresh, though a different iteration, and actually spicy?
That sandwich and an Oreo McFlurry (stale as fuck oreo's) was almost $9. Fuck outta here McD's

Fast-food giants cut value meals and cheaper items during the pandemic — and some, like Wendy's and McDonald's, are now pushing luxury burgers and pricier family combos instead
McDonald's scaled back its cheaper $1 $2 $3 menu, and has promoted more expensive combo deals instead, like its $10 BTS meal.

One thing that East and West coast people forget about the 'flyover' states is that they have access to amazingly high quality foodstuffs. Even the goddamn McDonalds in Iowa had fresh beef that was extremely high quality and this was decades before their recent push towards freshness.
I always have to laugh at the 'locavore' types here on the East Coast as I grew up in the Midwest where locally grown vegetables and meats were a no-brainer. Restaurant suppliers only sourced from California during the winter months when local greenhouses couldn't meet demand.

If I see them at the store I will give them a shot. Blue Diamond will always have a soft spot in my heart for being the first with their soy & wasabi almonds.

For those who might want to eat vast amounts of chick-fil-a nuggies without paying a premium for the privilege Costco apparently carries some rando frozen ones that are very very similar.

Some places aren't being very shy about prices atm. Last time I went to McD it looked like almost everything on the menu was 30% higher than my previous visit. Mcdonalds is not worth the price of a real meal.

Finally got around to trying new KFC sandi. It's very large, especially for $3.99. thick, juicy, crispy. Pickle good touch. No sauce needed
Oh and Lays Extreme Cheddar baked kettle. Delightful texture and solid flavor. Not sure what they remind me of but they're good
