What is the name of that taco place in Vegas that is really popular and people will line up around the corner to get the food? Is it called Gordo's or something and location please? Thanks in advance

The two taco places are located just north of Encore on the Strip. The most popular one is Tacos El Gordo but when that one has a long line, I just go to the Tacos El Pastor which is closer to Encore, and has pretty much exactly the same menu, other than some specialities that El Gordo might have that we don't even order anyway.

El Gordo has other locations in Vegas, I don't believe El Pastor does.

I've pretty much always eaten beef or chicken for dinner - served hot

I was getting tired of it

yesterday, had a tuna salad sandwich with potato chips in the middle of the sandwich - my innovation - the tuna salad was made at my grocery store

it was a really nice change - I really liked it - will begin having that much more often

my favorite snack

a half potato chip sandwich

I take a piece of bread (I remove the crust) - then spread mayo or ranch dressing or some kind of cheese spread on the bread

then crush up some good quality potato chips - I use Utz or Lays - and fold the piece of bread over and then consume

love it

The 10.981 year old decided they wanted "coconut shrimp" at a certain pan-Asian buffet, so we all went along.
It was OK; the "coconut" tasted looked more like white walnut sauce. Good, but not coconut, and they couldn't tell the difference. (Is it safe to mutter about "kids these days"? Gotta be 21 to join the forum.)

I always like the broccoli from the chicken with broccoli in brown sauce. No idea why; the broccoli is better than the chicken in that dish.

Speaking of Asian food, I’m convinced that nobody actually likes baby corn or water chestnuts, they just tolerate them because of the food they come with.

I've always loved coffee - about 80% of the time it's flavored coffee - usually vanilla

last week I tried something new - I put coconut flakes in my coffee to flavor it - it's great - to me anyway - a little messy because I don't swallow them -

no more vanilla - I'm 100% solid with coconut flakes now - weird as it may be - it's where I'm at with coffee now

!!!! We get essentially beef with broccoli, hold the beef, from our Chinese take out restaurant. I always get a quart of hot and sour soup with 4 wontons added. Wifey likes Orange chicken. So although generally too sweet for me I eat some of that too.

I also do the hot sour soup, but add potsticker dumplings instead of wontons. I enjoy partially submerging the not-soggy dumplings in the soup individually about 47 seconds before I'm ready for another dumpling, to create the ideal balance of soupiness, firmness, and enhanced flavour from the toasted wrapper.

As much as I enjoy the wonton skins transforming into floppy noodles, I generally prefer the soaked potsticker texture.

Today, for breakfast, I made a roast beef and cheese BLT with roasted red peppers. Yes, I checked on the internet, and there was nothing saying I couldn’t do that.






This maintained sandwich integrity to the last bite.

This sandwich was AWESOME. Each bite alternated between tasting ingredients separately and tasting them in unison. If I ever opened a sandwich shop, this would be on the menu. (The dressing is home made thousand island, with jalapeños instead of pickles.)

Since I retired I’ve become obsessed with dining efficiency. The bacon is left from yesterday’s cheeseburgers, and the beef is left over from a ribeye we had Monday night.

I only eat twice a day now, and nothing between meals. I’ve lost 42lbs, without trying, just by being more active and eating less. Last weekend I went to a wedding, and the shirt I chose was so loose I looked like a turtle popping out of a shell, you could see the undershirt. I used to wear that shirt with a button extender. I picked a different one, and they were all the same. So, even with a huge sandwich, the total daily intake is still reasonable. No sugar stuff, no white stuff. That is some kind of sprouted grain bread that is pretty good.

Even if I wanted one, they're sold out pretty much nationwide. I think Arby's has a "mea culpa" deal where you can get half off on a smokehouse brisket or Greek gyro.

I feel that the food quality at Speedway has deteriorated since 7&i (7-11 parent) bought the brand.
It wasn't great to begin with, and now it's everything I've come to expect from 7-11 in the US.

I think the food at Casey's or Thornton's or Sheetz or Rutter's is much better. (Exception: I do not approve of the Rutter's cheesesteak travellers.)

There are good things about 7-11, although I usually prefer to dine elsewhere.

The line at Roy Rogers was about 45 minutes long, but I endured.

Double R burger & a holster of fries. That barbecue sauce is unique, almost like a sweet-heat (with the heat turned down), but with a smokey Asian twist.

The drive through line at Mighty Taco was only 3-4 cars long. I didn’t pay full attention to how long I waited but I’d guess 20 minutes plus or minus a few. Pre pandemic it would have been 5 minutes, maybe a few more. When I finally got my order, the girl politely apologized for the delay, and mentioned that there were only ‘a few’ working on her shift. Pre pandemic likely 7-9 kids there.

I had a super mighty taco, and a super mighty burrito. Adequate. Not super.

Today we ate on Captiva Island at the Bubble Room. It is very odd and eclectic and was recommended as a good lunch destination.

The food was very average and over-priced but the decor was interesting.

__________________


I was looking to order a very good burger yesterday and I looked at the Cheesecake Factory

they require you to choose how you would like it cooked and they offer the choice_____________𝙧𝙖𝙧𝙚

I was very surprised by this as no other burger place near me that I know of offers any choice at all - they just automatically cook it well done

in searching I found that some restaurants do offer medium rare



this is from a food safety website:



"Unlike a rare steak, a rare burger is risky because the germs from the outside of the meat have been ground inside.

An outbreak of E. coli this past spring that sickened at least 12 people — and hospitalized seven of them — was caused by ground beef burgers cooked rare and medium-rare at restaurants,"

Exactly. Yet some people will say “but I ground the beef myself and therefore I can eat it rare”. As if that makes a difference

I've eaten at Taco Bell recently a few times - yeah, it's not great food - cheap - but I found it tasty

but I noticed I was getting rush style headaches after eating their food - I googled around and found that I was far from being alone

the image gives info on their ingredients - and the link rebuts Taco Bell's own claims that their food is healthy and cannot cause problems

for me - this was eye opening stuff

Wife cooked up a tasty meal today that I love: it is easy to make.

Put cut up chunks of onion, potato, red pepper and mild Italian sausage in a caserole dish..

Season to taste with onion powder, garlic powder and Italian herb blend.

Bake in a convection oven for an hour at 400 degrees.

When putting the sausage chunks in put them on the side initially as that allows the center to cook thoroughly.

Damned tasty.

I have chicken tenders with my own recipe for the breading for lunch today.

Almond flour, flax seed meal, pork rinds (ground down into powder by a food processor), salt, pepper, cayenne powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and then using a grater zest and entire lime skin into the mix.

Carrabbas. It’s a chain but doesn’t feel like one to me. I get their appetizer ‘mussels in white wine’ which is a giant vat of them swimming in varying sized chunks of garlic and of course the white wine based broth. After downing the mussels I use a spoon for the remaining soup. After the spoon I sop up what’s left over with the very good crusty bread they serve. No main course needed. I’m sure I still stink of garlic this morning.

I went to a Carrabba's about a week ago for only the second time in my life. Not to my liking and now I know why I haven't been there in 20 years. I still prefer Olive Garden just for the soup and breadsticks. I think all of their entree's are below average.

Almost! (... but not quite.)

Had a couple of coworkers get surprisingly nostalgic about cabbages they'd eaten in the past when they saw me cooking some for lunch - literally just coarsely chopped cabbage in a frying pan with a splash of oil and a sprinkle of salt.

The cooking method changes cabbage significantly.
Boiling it until limp and lifeless... meh. Quashes the natural spiciness. It is hard for me to disagree that overcooked, boiled vegetables are boring.

This is probably why I don't like mashed potatoes.
May the cards fall in your favor.

I am proud to say that I do not eat a single one of those items.

So, zucchini squash, other squashes (like yellow squash), spinach and kale didn't make your list? And I imagine that onions, turnips and radishes were too non-boring to make the list?

I have verbally praised a good cole slaw, which is cabbage.
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.
