Dr. Teeth

May be about to try to make egg rolls. Question for those with egg roll experience. If making extra for the freezer, do you fry them and freeze them or just roll them, freeze them and then cook from frozen?

Looks fantastic. I’m super jealous. This will be an odd question, but you seem very familiar with the wicked oyster. When they put quotation makes around “fries” what does that mean?

New funayuki. Because it’s not like I already have more knives than I could use in 6 lifetimes

BLT made by Mrs Dr Teeth. Benton’s bacon and sourdough bread from a rather good French bakery near us. Tomato was only ok. Still a bit early in the season.

Word ‘cloche’ pops into my head

Buy Russian ketchup. It looked fun to try. Terrible. Like all ketchup bottles it seems to regenerate its contents overnight despite my best efforts to use it up (ketchup fried rice, too ghastly for any other purpose)

Unapologetically inauthentic Jap Chae. Side of serving tongs wielded by hungry, slightly impatient spouse

Dipped fries or “dabs” are fires that have been dipped in batter prior to being fried. The primary advantage to them is that they stay crispy when they get cold. I look at an establishment selling them as akin to a workman showing up to a job site with a pillow and paperback novel. Fries should be hot. No excuses. This advantage has led to them being widely adopted in the US fast casual market. I am heartened to hear that they are a mystery to you.

El Jefe from Lucky Buns. My choice for best burger in DC (smash burger category). Early Father’s Day lunch with the boys. Also notice, really outstanding, non dipped fries

Bringing this back from the dead rather than starting a new thread. anybody got recs for Myrtle Beach food? Don’t need fancy, just edible

Welcome.

Have not tried. Got on and started to play with it. Going with the “20% more savings,” and dividing the cost by the listed maximum weight it’s about 8.50 a pound. Getting on and fiddling, to get to the listed maximum weight you need to select options that come with a 2-3 lbs order: hotdogs, pre-cooked meatballs, chicken drum lets, ground beef. None of these is a great deal at 8.50 a pound. There is of course no cap on the number you may add to any order. There are a couple options where you can have a large potion (16oz) on a premium cut (porterhouse and T-bone) but there is a cap of two per order. These are probably the best deal, although that’s about as much steak as we eat in a year at the Dr Teeth household (oldest son would be thrilled) Seafood is a bit tougher to price out. Frozen shrimp (which I am rather fond of) are 40-50 count. 1 lb per order, so about 17.00 a pound. This is not a great deal at all in this neck of the woods. Scallops are 12oz serving, so north of 20 bucks a pound. Again not great. Black Cod and Steelhead aren’t regularly for sale around here so I can’t really comment Overall. It’s interesting, a good deal more even than Whole Foods around here. I would need someone to tell me the quality is remarkable to be seriously interested, although it could be fun to try.

Probably a day late and a dollar short, but I can see the problem with the old freezer pretty clearly and it’s a easy fix. It’s too organized. If you just chuck stuff in randomly and can’t find anything the freezer will sense that you’d be relieved to see it die and will hang on out of spite. I can show you pictures of mine if you need help there. It’s part of all that new smart machine AI stuff. Real high tech, complicated stuff

Appreciate the heads up on the pasta. That’s a great price. I have to confess I don’t track exact prices with the exception of a few staples I buy over and over and have the ability to buy in bulk when the right price comes along. But I have noticed the bill at the grocery store is up, and more than a little bit

I am, as they say, game if you are. Holly Moore and Katie Loeb, God rest their souls, are eGullet icons. In their memory alone this thread should be carried forward. Picture below is not a Philly sandwich. The slightest implication that it is should draw Weinoo here like a bolt of thunder. This is the pastrami on rye from Katz’ Deli defeated by DiNics in the Best Sandwich in America competition. Included for those that like to make their own comparisons. I think Richman got it right personally. But it’s not as good as John’s
