FlamingLiberal posted:So, and apparently this is not a joke, Chuck E Cheese created a separate brand name for them to sell pizza and wings via food delivery apps since in most places they can’t open normally Is that uncommon? Over here in the UK basically every major chain restaurant has shadow kitchens under other names on Deliveroo (even in the normal times).

Am I not remembering correctly or isn't Chuck E. Cheese pizza not good? If I ordered from some place called Pasqually's and got Chuck E. Cheese I'd be annoyed. You don't go to an arcade because the food is delicious.

I really just need to get good at making my own pizza, the biggest problem I have is that I have to let the dough rise for a couple of hours, and that just saps my will to do it on a week night.

Wal-mart sells a decent non-frozen dough that you just throw the ingrediants on and bake, costs like $2 - $3 bucks. Should be near the ready to bake cookies/pilsbury biscuit rolls.

English muffin pizzas taste better than anything with the word English in it has a right to and don't require separate dough.

I use the dough recipe from here, no need to let it rise for an hour. It still puffs up huge as it cooks. https://www.countrysidecravings.com/deep-dish-three-meat-pizza/

Like it's square and it has little square chunks and you put it in the microwave and yeah kid I know Totino's. I knew Totino's when I was your age. I was happy to see the price has only gone up .29 cents in 25 years.

Like how McDonalds kept their dollar menu items the same price for like 20 years and 5 Guy's can't go like 2 years without raising prices.

It isn't common where I am at, although after this all started, we do have a couple mystery places on delivery apps that are either food trucks or just completely making their address up. I'm pretty sure one of the new Mexican places was actually a topless bar pre pandemic.

FlamingLiberal posted:You can make that same kind of meal with a $120 InstaPot Yes, but not all at the same time like with this thing. They both do things that the other doesn’t. They’re not really comparable devices. Like I can kinda understand that this is a first of its kind device and that there’s a premium for that kind of thing because the supply chain and assembly lines are still new. Maybe something like this will become more plausible for an average person to own when prices go down, kinks get worked out, and more features are added. As it is though I’m a bit baffled on who’s buying enough of these things to keep this company in the black.

I could be wrong. I probably haven't had one in a few years and I'm sure you know how comparable the taste is to the original. One of the reasons I like Roy Rogers food is because it's a nostalgia trip eating there, as all of their food tastes exactly the same as it did 25 years ago. (If Wendy's came out with a 'circa 1996 chicken sandwich' I'd eat there for sure). I've just tended to notice that over the last 20-25 years any product that maintains consistent quality for years usually goes up in price, and anything that tries to maintain a consistent price either ends up cutting portion sizes or quality.

I have the exact same sentiment about all those Oak Furniture Stores that popped up in the 90s and collapsed in the past few years. I have many, many unpleasant memories of being dragged to store after store while my parents hemmed and hawed and eventually selected a fuckoff huge entertainment center and... giant bed-surrounding double-armoire dealie, both of which they abandoned to the buyers of our house in 2013 because they could not be hosed to move any of it across the country

As someone who knows nothing about interior design how is Pier 1 any different than all the other housing goods stores? Like, they all seem to sell more or less the same stuff, to my eye anyway.
