It's fast Tex Mex but they make their own tortillas and they have breakfast tacos all day.

Sounds like everything around there is closing, good thing I moved
I was really happy with all the options around there when I lived in Southdowns.

"Everything" is not closing down. There's a CFA, Whataburger, Finbomb, Waffle House, Fuego, Panda Xpress, Albasha, Jimmy John's, Jason's Deli, Dave's Hot Chicken and Chipotle right in that area. If all that is too low rent for you Mike Anderson's is just down the street.

[edit] Can't believe I forgot Cheba Hut. My gracious.

McAllister's in general is pretty good, but that location has the worst service of any FF restaurant I've ever been to.

100%

You can get a couple of thick cut loin chops at supermarkets for $7.50. Pork shoulder is even cheaper for more meals, and can be used in a lot of ways!

Farmed salmon is also fairly cheap, although not nearly on the same level as pork.

Beef is great but there are other proteins besides it and chicken.

Woodward sucks for the hire and contract.

What do you think about the $90+ mil over 7 years for LK? Is that cool?

[e]: Scott Woodward didn't make that offer.

If you were just going to do that anyway it's not much of a sacrifice :cheers:

Sous vide???

It's set it and forget it. Plus it keeps the rice warm and moist until you're ready to eat.

[e]: I'm like you, I like to cook my rice on the stove top. But rice cookers do have their place and there's a reason people love them.

The oil pan is plastic

---

Just to expand on this, and yes I'm quoting myself, but the problem with this is that the drain plug on the oil pan isn't plastic, it's metal. So every time you have your oil changed, unless you're doing it yourself, you run the risk of the tech over-tightening the plug. If you over-tighten a metal drain plug on a plastic oil pan the chances are very high that the whole thing needs to be replaced.

If it's under warranty, great. But knowing that risk, why would you buy that? Just get a Toyota/Subaru/Honda whatever suits your fancy. Jeep/Ram/Dodge/Chrysler is trash. Teslas look like Brother/Epson designed a printer/car and just went with it.

/Rant off.

not sure what else you want

Covered bleachers with seatbacks in Alex Box. Plus a misting system for when it gets hot in May.

Modesto has some great fried oyster tacos right now, and their brunch selection is solid if you're into Mexican for brunch.

You should brown your ground beef, not boil it or steam it. If there is liquid, whether water or fat, you haven't browned it. You should not have to drain anything. Browning ground beef should be at high temp until it gets crusty, then you lower the temp after the liquid is evaporated. You will need to break it up during this time. If you're impatient and want steamed ground meat, then drain it. If you want flavor, let it brown.
