I love it but every restaurant i seem to go in is serving it now. The novelty has worn off and I guess it's gone mainstream.

And I've been braising short ribs for thirty years and my mother has been doing it for sixty years so I don't need that in each restaurant now either.

Can we move on now? If someone would cook a braised chicken gizzards served over a wild mushroom risotto I'd kick their door down to eat it.

I'm tired of arugula as well. Taste like yard work.

I agree with you but I do enjoy braised short ribs and it's not like every restaurant has it.

There out there a good bit from what I've seen.

And I'll eat all of the items listed. I just get tired of all of the sudden everyone is doing pretty much the same thing.

Like a few years ago when it was tall food. Now it's gourmet burgers.

I haven't tired of arugula. I think I have an obsession with it, for some reason.

I dunno man. The fried oyster and pork belly sandwich at Borgne is fricking legit.

Do the short ribs at home. It's easy. Buy them at SAMs because they are full of meat. And use the bone in ones. They used to be cheap but not anymore. They do make the best gravy.

If every restaurant in the country starting serving it I would be happy about that.

I really enjoy arugula but I have noticed that what you get in a restaurant is so much better than what I am able to buy.

Have you found this too? If not, where are you buying it?

Yep, was just taken to Flip Burger(chain) at the Summit in B'ham. Essentially paid $10 for a slider and the worst fried dill pickles (they were actually bread & butter, not dill) I ever had.

Did I miss 'Tall' food? What was that?

When the food was stacked tall on the plate. A lot of cylinders etc...

And if I could find goat belly I'd sure try it. Can't get anyone to do the chicken gizzards?

Flip burger is awesome and is not really a chain. The owner won Top Chef All Stars.

Send your pork belly my way. Between bacon, cracklins and various other uses, I'm going through 5 lbs/week.

Yeah, real award winner, I'm impressed. It won the 'We cater to the under 30, cool looking chain with questionable food' award. The design team must have gotten all the accolades. I had the blackened shrimp burger (slider), kind of ground up shrimp patty, nothing outstanding. Person next to me had a Classic, ordered medium, was so dry she only ate half of it. Bill for dinner for 5, one kid included, $82.

It didn't help the we got the Goth, hair all combed to one side, I have to work because my parents made me get a job, attitude waiter.

I didn't win the Andouille Award, the only one I'm interested in.

Yeah , I, just like totally, won't listen to any music on the radio because I just don't listen to mainstream music.
