Fried eggs on most things. I love eggs. I love fried eggs. But a fried egg on a hamburger makes both of them worse.
Avocado. Other than in guacamole, it has no use as a foodstuff.
After 8 years in CA, I couldn't agree more. Those bastards put avocado on
everything, and there really is no place for it other than guacamole. "No, I
do not want the fucking avocado on my omelette. I do not want the fucking avocado on my chili fries. Or my lamb burger. Nor do I want avocado in my bloody mary,
you fucking assholes!"
Lol at guy criticizing ramen based on two Korean owned places in Atlanta.
I kinda see his point. I love good ramen, but I find that the time and effort to make it, or the ave cost for "good" ramen at a ramen joint really isn't worth it, for what ramen is. More and more, it's about $14 on the low end for what is considered a high-end bowl of ramen, but usually $18 or more. I've had decent ramen for $10 or $11, but even that is nuts. Even so, it takes about a night of vigorous boiling to emulsify those itty bitty fat bits properly into the broth which, in the end, is nothing more than a handful of typical spices, some fatty animal bits and bone, and butter. It's just too simple and uncomplicated for the actual effort and cost. For that, I would rather have a $0.98 bag of Shin instant ramen, toss in some mushrooms and greens, and maybe some jerky to get a good enough approximation. Also for these reasons, why I find pho to be so much better, because it's at most half the cost for what is essentially the same dish. Heh, I didn't even mention the effort that goes into making "proper" noodles, which just borders on insanity. I recall David Chang saying how he spent those 3 years or however long apprenticing in Japan at that fancy Ramen joint, and the head chef never approved for service a single noodle that he made. lolwtf.
