convenience :awe:

Gluttony and gambling away the money that would be used to eat someplace better.

With so many great restaurants in Vegas I have no idea why anyone eats at those buffets.

when you have 6 friends (or family) and can't decide on a place to eat, LV buffets are a wonderful thing.

I go eat at buffets with my relatives and scrub friends, I go eat at awesome restaurants with my wife and non-scrub friends.

OP, did you confuse OT with facebook?

Maybe they don't have them anymore because they ate them all.

:hmm:

Is a cute little dude must say, had one a long time ago.

I love most Indian dishes I've had. I just do not like that most of the places tend to make their food milder because they see that I am white and they think I do not enjoy properly 'hot" food.

Thankfully I have lots of Indian friends and co-workers and I have opportunities to try more Indian dishes pretty regularly.

I was a 11 year old boy told these exact words. I cried a bit after sampling my indian's neighbours cuisine. I won't deny it.

Only been there once, only played slots and came out ahead by two hundred. Did sightseeing mostly.

I have been drawn towards spicy & hot food my whole life.
I think its because my parents both liked bland food and never drank coffee. Essentially, they were horrible parents and bad examples in life, so I aimed for the opposite. Its worked well thus far. I drink a gallon of coffee a day and eat things that would make a goat cry.

If you have kids, do you wonder if they'll think you were horrible and bad examples to them because you drank so much coffee and ate thinks that would make goats cry?

I'm pretty similar to BiD, except my parents drank coffee. I raised my daughter on coffee and hot sauce, and always encouraged her to try new things. Now, she loves coffee, hot sauce, and trying new things. She's also pretty happy.

I dont have kids yet. Taste in coffee and food really has nothing to do with the "bad example" part. That was more or less due to the way my father abused my mother and the way my mother fell apart and sort of lost her shit.

If I abuse my woman, that is what would make me a horrible example, but I will never hurt her.

Most Indian dishes aren't that hot. Some regional cuisines do feature hotter curries and dishes, but it's not always the case that restaurants are making the food milder to suit the American palate. Some do, for sure, but there is the misconception that Indian food = hot. Indian cuisine does use more spices and uses them liberally, but that doesn't necessarily translate into heat.

If anything, you see a penchant for heat and hot dishes in the southwest and south generally of the United States than you do India as a whole. Truly hot sauces and curries are bigger here (and in Canada and the UK and a few other western countries, I presume) than India.

Yes, I know Goan cuisine is generally a lot hotter than than north Indian stuff. And there are 100+ regional difference in Indian cuisines. But most restaurants near the office flat out admit they are making the food milder as to be appealing to a larger customer base. I have had on more than one case where I ask for hot food , and they just assume I am full of shit and they give me mild food.

If I go to Devon Ave in Chicago, then generally the food is decently hot
Also, have been to a couple of good suburban places that really crank the heat up.

Hmm, wonder if Chicago is lagging behind New York. Plenty of places here where it's known by the restaurant staff and owners that white people actually like the food hotter than the Indians do.
