re: Dumpling Hour (previous Serop's Corporate location)
Posted by Pirate0714 on 9/4/26 at 8:43 am to Joshjrn
Wife and I went yesterday and it was pretty good. Pan fried gyoza and pan fried bao were very good. Pepper steak was good but way more bell pepper pieces than steak. Soup dumplings came out broken on the bottom with all the soup drained out. Talked to manager and took them off the bill and apologized. We enjoyed it and will probably be back again to try other things. Place is not serving alcohol right now just a heads up. Only can drinks and bubble tea. Think they are working kinks out and getting feet under them.

Last year I had a family member contract it during hunting season. It was bad. Couldn't really communicate and was bed ridden for a week. Was in the hospital for almost 3 full weeks. Doctors told us during the worst of it he had a 20-25% chance he wasn't gonna make it. It was effecting his brain and speech for first week. He was having trouble breathing and moving around 2-3rd weeks before he was finally released. Did leave some issues with facial drooping on one side for at least a month after.
It was no joke and wouldn't wish it on anyone as bad as it affected him.

We want to the Houston location last summer and was about an hour and we got there early. Definitely worth it though. Best BBQ I’ve ever had.
re: What to cook at beach while on vacation with teenagers?

Cut a bag of King's Hawaiian rolls in half and fill with deli meats, sloppy joe meat, slider burgers, whatever you want. Bag of chips and let them pull apart as needed. After you fill with meat, slather top in melted butter and some garlic powder and bake for 7-8 minutes to make em better.
re: Is Albasha the best restaurant in Baton Rouge?
Posted by Pirate0714 on 6/22/26 at 9:59 pm to ColoradoCock
The Albasha express on Lee is the best and cleanest of them all. Menu is a little smaller but chicken shawarma and gyro meats are both very good. They also make a homeade chicken Alfredo covered with chicken shawarma meat that is freaking good.

Just grilled some salmon fillets with veggies and rice all at one time. Very convenient and not messing up 3 pans and smelling the house up.
Lots of blackened fish with griddle veggies

Yea in spots your not gonna be able to walk, but you need to check because you’ll likely be trespassing on somebody’s property if your walking. Better to float just to be sure in Springtime.

re: Were swirlies actually a thing back then or just something you saw on TV

Definitely watched one happen on a Wednesday night at a youth church event of all places. Bullies were ruthless back in the day before cell phones and video recording. Kids can still suck, but was way more physical back in day compared to now I think.
re: Give me your best flank steak marinade and cooking process
Posted by Pirate0714 on 10/3/25 at 9:36 am to CatfishJohn
Fajita marinade wife loves
3 cups pineapple juice
2 cups soy sauce
1 cup water
2 limes juiced
Marinate at least 2 hours but no more than 4 hours
Season with fajita seasoning you like. Paul Prudhomme Fajita Magic is actually pretty damn good.
Cook to medium rare and rest for 5-10 minutes. Slice thin and service with tortillas and fixings. It won't make the rest of the night.

Another vote for Dr. Andrew Hollier with BR Urology. Good Dr that actually listened and let me ask questions without trying to hurry and get out.

It’s like some people just forgot who Vince Carter was…. Yall know that guy was standing straight up at 7’2” right?? Jumped over his head and dunked it while doing it. Vince Carter is THE greatest person to “dunk” a basketball. Not saying greatest basketball player ever. But to handle and dunk a basketball… it’s not even a question.

re: Visiting a restaurant again after awhile and noticing they are cutting corners
Posted by Pirate0714 on 8/20/25 at 2:07 pm to slidingstop
quote:
so do you think this is because they are cutting corners or just busier and fighting labor problems like 99% of all restaurants? I eat at Ichiban often enough to feel I can say the quality of the food is still there. I can't think of a single restaurant that hasn't suffered service issues- especially post Covid. Ichiban is not immune. But I also find it a lot busier than before. I don't think your observations are the result of management cutting corners. I think they are more the result of a lack of willing, competent workers to deliver the level of service you remember. And its exacerbated by being busier than it was "when the old man was there".
.
See I don't find it near as busy as say 2008-2015 era maybe? It was always packed and so was the hibachi. I know to each is own and experience will vary, but man we used to go WAY to often and it's just the quality of sushi, portion sizes, overall quality of restaurant condition. I don't even want to say it's a worker issue. Like I see the same managers (maybe his kids?) there every time and the same issues keep happening. At some point it can't just be meh workers lazy.

WTF man?
Did you just have a bad day with people but can't tell em how you really feel to their face?..... so you just think "I'll make a smart arse comment to that guy!"
This is a food board not OT. No need to be a dick.
