a year or two ago I posted the hot hog electrocuter from the 1970's out here. If you can find one of those, it is diner and a show.

probably better luck to get the curry place than the soup place. not sure i'd trust vietnamese or japanese soup in the sticks

Side note, I ate at the two Lancaster Brewing Company locations a few times each before realizing they were different places

Both places are actually really good supposedly. The NYT had an article a few weeks ago about them and a few other places. Figure I gotta try it since it's literally across the street from my office.

The miso ramen bowl with pork and a boiled egg was my gateway drug at Cheu Noodle

Mix some sricacha into that bad boy and have a lunch

Pig Stomach

or

since it's brunch German Pancakes. Ignore any instructions otherwise and start in a cold oven. Never add your filling/topping until after baking. Easy to prepare a few different fillings ahead of time and prep some fresh fruit and whipped cream in the morning.

But you would be OK trusting a random curry place?

We like to do a crepe bar. Make the crepes ahead of time and put the stack out with a bunch of different fillings (cheese, jam, ham, berries, chocolate sauce, etc) next to the electric griddle. Put the crepe on the griddle add filling of choice and consume.

I also make a really good chicken and mushroom filling for them.

Of course this was before I became a pariah in my home.

My wok left me

I ordered the chicken curry. I'll report back shortly.

That would be incorrect. I always referred to that as breakfast, though.

Bought some undershirts yesterday, but wasn’t paying attention and bought the tank tops instead. Unless you’re the rare person who never sweats from their armpits (antiperspirant is not 100%, and the antiperspirant stuff will still get on your shirt), I don’t understand the point. Unless you want to look like a scumbag wearing them as your regular “shirt”.

seeing people of all ages, all races, all religions coming together and eating as much substandard, tasteless food as possible, and thoroughly enjoying it is purely americana. it really is beautiful. simply put, the corral is truly inclusive to all, for the love of eating.

but do they have tacos at least one day a week?

For complete transparency, I've only been to GC in Florida, and with my in-laws, at about 4:30 in the afternoon, so my impression is definitely colored with very specific crayons.

full on taco bar, every day both lunch and dinner. that's pretty much standard even with sizzler.
