Tangent time...
Pretty natural evolution though. Restaurant and hospitality industry was legitimized through Bourdain and food media obsession.
Farmers Market, sustainable agriculture, animal husbandry, disaster relief and feeding first responders, etc... all of this has given chefs and restaurateurs a voice and a very needed voice. Put them on the national stage so to speak. Only natural that they turn to be outspoken for the causes they believe in. Good for them.
Now, havent had that pork and peppers yet, but I did always enjoy the lamb roti. Will try next time.

boycotting an establishment because they support something you deem immoral is virtue signaling
No, it isn't. It is if i'm talking about it to everyone. Which by the nature of a message board, is unavoidable. But, i enjoy spirited debate from both sides, so i gave my opinion, and i signaled my virtue, in doing so. But again, if we are debating opinions on a message board, then really, all exchanging of ideas could be construed as "virtue signaling". But i am not holding a public fundraiser to state "i am for/against this". I'm simply conveying my opinions on the matter.
quote:
In your opinion, abortion is immoral...if something is immoral, it is not a virtue.
In my opinion, correct. However, on the flip side of the coin, abortion IS moral. Thus abortion, to the left, is a virtue.
quote:
So, from your point of view, a bake sale supporting reproductive rights is actually not virtue signaling.
Pump the brakes. Abortion has nothing to do with "reproductive rights". They can scew whoever they want, and however they want. But whenever you are pregnant, and decide to kill the living being in your womb, you are denying every single right of humanity to that child.
I know that could be seen as philosophical differences between you and I, however I see that as a morality issue.
quote:
Boycotting a restaurant because of a perceived higher moral standard actually is.
And well, the difference is i see abortion as a complete lack of morality. And often an escape from responsibility at the cost of human life. We can have this conversation on the political board, but you said you have to get back to work. Enjoyed the back and forth though.

OP - is this the plate? Looks so delicious. I’m a sucker for a homemade roll. Cajunate on this board could visit my house anytime!

I really wish you would boycott this thread.
The food was objectively good. I don't support their views but that doesn't mean they don't make a great meal.
I'm sorry you felt the need to bring in politics into the Food/Drink board, snowflake.

Also love how the knock is "they serve a bologna sandwich...one I eat when fishing." Please take me fishing with you so I can compare your bologna sandwich.
I think you are underestimating how much fresh speckle trout slime elevates a simple bologna sandwich.
And are people really supporting the killing of babies in this thread ? I remember when New Orleans was a very catholic community.

I despise the overtaking of what feels like every thread by the Polifolks, but if you are avoiding these restaurants then there are also a bunch of companies that have donTed to Planned Parenthood. Do you avoid products/services of all of these companies too?

If i'm aware of them, and if i can avoid it, sure. Hell, i haven't been back to Dick's Sporting Goods in a long time.
I can easily avoid those restaurants from earlier. There are some companies on your list i can easily avoid as well. And frankly, if any of them started a bake sale for abortion, i would be very active against supporting them and would look for alternative means.
Your gotcha is predictable and silly. I recognize there are groups that donate to PP and pro-abortion entities. That being said, if i can feasably avoid them, then i will. If one of those companies happens to be one that is near impossible to avoid because of their reach, then i don't have much choice.
Now you're next idiotic rant will be "but i thought you were principled". I am principled. And so, i will control my money and who it goes to, to the best of my abilities. I realize some mega corporations have a much farther reach than i can control. Unfortunately, i won't be able to withhold my money from EVERYONE. If I could, and the cost difference is reasonable as to where it would not affect my family and our budgets, then i will do so. Thanks for that list. I'll go through each one and let you know which ones i can avoid and can not a bit later.
But to answer your question, yes, i avoid most of those companies already, but not because of their abortion stance.

This thread is diarrhea.
T&W is good not great in my experience. That plate looks great though.

Care to take your intelligent debate skills to the poli-board? I’m all for getting out of this thread and discussing our philosophical differences on another board more appropriate.
Posted on 7/19/19 at 11:09 am to Prosecuted Collins
Turkey and Wolf threads should be created on PoliBoard from here on out.
Consensus is food tastes good but owner is annoying and leans left. I think we can move on.

You avoid companies when it’s convenient. That’s not conviction. You are really “principled” when it’s a hipster sandwich shop and let everyone who doesn’t care know.
I’d venture to guess that you probably still use glycophosphate, fly United, use J&J products, and fill up at Exxon. I’d also guess you don’t go into threads about Exxon, Shell, BP, Monsanto, Verizon, Wells Fargo, or the other banks and proclaim that you avoid them because of their donations.

I find they execute what they do very well. It's all just so disjointed that it's a hard place to try to visit and have a regular meal on a regular basis.
People can argue because of its staying power, it's not a "gimmick." But, at the end of the day, that's mostly what it seems to be to me. The reason I don't want a $12 "gourmet" bologna sandwich is not because I can eat a bologna sandwich while fishing. I just don't want a "gourmet" bologna sandwich - at least not more than once.
I don't care much about their political bullshite.

You can order other things besides the bologna sandwich.
I order tons of other things besides that and always have a great meal.
One of Piece of Meat's signature sandwiches is a bologna sandwich, they also participated in the bake sale, and they still get almost universal praise here.
The difference is that TnW got named to all kinds of lists and has an annoying social media that people here despise.

I know. I find it all similarly gimmicky. Again, not bad and often quite good, just not something that I typically think about when I want to eat an actual meal.
Hey, I'm glad they're doing well, though, and I'll probably hit it up again at some point.
