I hope your mom doesn't read this.

Nearly 44,000 restaurants in 110 countries. That, my friend, is success. And you don't do that selling sucky food. No one ever claimed it was gourmet but it is good enough for the people of the world.

That what you smell is the smell of success, profits and good subs.

If CNET gives it 4 stars, I will be all over it. I'll have to read the reviews.

so what's the difference between several hours and a few hours? Your splitting hairs and there is a conditioner for that.

I always give him a tip. Usually for the Daily Double, sometimes the Trifecta, at the horse track.

Right. Like a pizza joint shreds their cheese and makes their own sauce. Or a sea food place de-heads, shells and de-veins the shrimp while you are waiting.

I like the bread, I like the whole sub and I like that I can buy it before I take off on a road trip. When I start a trip, don't even think about stopping to buy food at a grocery store, let alone pee between gas stops.

and what would this " chemically engineered accelerator" be called? I think this is just another urban fable.

unless you are in a hurry.

Taste! Who cares about calories and nutrition when you are eating a sub? If calories and nutrition are the goal, open a can of tuna and eat it with a fork.

Subway hasn't changed over the years and that is a good thing. They do a good enough sub to serve the masses just like McD's does with burgers.
I like them for road trips, they hold up Ok and that's all you can ask for in road trip food.

I said "room temperature" which can be 90 F if you are sitting under a palapa on the beach. Get it?

are we talking politics or food?

I have to disagree. it has nothing to do with region and everything to do with the kitchen and the fear of the food police.

The salsa may be cooked, in fact most have ingredients that are cooked. But salsa is never served hot. Always room temperature, which could be 90 F in some cases.
Hot salsa means they had to make a fresh batch and didn't have time for it to cool down. Cold salsa means a gringo served it without a clue.

yes I have. It was New Mexico Mexican. And TexMex beats it all to hell.

So what is the difference between Mexican and TexMex? Nothing I would guess, except one state chose to name it different. Why not Mex-New-Mex? They all think their chilies are so special and use them in their foods. Are the Mexican restaurants in New Mexico using only Mexican chilies? As if there is a difference.

grass fed beef. I doubt Turkey finishes out cows with corn.

I was going to say it dates back to just after the war between the states ( Civil War) . The Southern Belles lost their cooks (and war) and needed to make a pie. The pies were named "Cracker Pie" by the ex cooks and help. I could be wrong.

some people here may look down on you for the IHOP stop, I am perfectly fine with the place, it is what it is.

mustard is included.

I don't think the machine made tortillas have lard. I do think the hand made (pounded out by hand, not by a hand press) usually have lard. That's why they taste soooo goood.

Isn't that just like life.

Chicken feet bones are pretty small and soft after cooking. Thigh and especially leg bones are really hard on a dog, according to Bobbie. What goes in must come out.. Ouch!

Bobbie the watch dog is half blind and half deaf. I am thinking about renaming him Tommy the Pinball Wizard.
He's getting old and I guess I'm getting soft. I buy a pound of chicken feet for about 70 cents, throw them in a pot of salted water and boil them for sometime. I add a bit of flour the last 30 min. or so to make a thicker gravy. 5 or 6 feet on top of some kibble, topped with gravy makes Bobbie the watch dog very happy.

A Praying Mantis is suppose to mean good luck.
