Mad Mex isn't terrible, at least it wasn't years back when I was working in the cbd. Never had guzman y gomez or zambreros though

I will try to remain civil. red rooster don't have wicked wings, that is kfc. red rooster has butter milk wings which is a different batter than the fried chicken pieces at Red rooster and are not as good as the regular fried chicken at Red rooster.

and kfc fried chicken is not as good as red rooster fried chicken but wicked wings are definitely better than red rooster butter milk wings.

Do you often sing or whistle just for fun?
About a decade ago one of my housemates got what looked like a big manky toenail clipping in his red rooster fries, and I haven't been able to drive past a red rooster and not start thinking about how gross that was since. At least their food is loving terrible so I don't get fomo about no longer being able to bring myself to eat it.

authenticity is a poo poo metric. an all original mazda MX-5 is authentic, but its also a complete and utter piece of poo poo.

put a turbo or a K motor in it and it actually becomes fun.

Nothing wrong with an MX5 but they did a stock turbo SE model in 04 and 05 which are really good. I drive one most days.

this is essentially what i was saying though. the original was boring as gently caress and actually not that good, but give it some more power and some suspension work (thus ruining the authenticity of the experience, according to the blue suede cap with brown bill and balding crowd) and they become good.

much like 'authentic' mexican isnt nearly as tasty/dopamine releasing as tex mex.

They taste about the same to me, but zambreros employees give no fucks and pack my burrito to the absolute max. GyG have a more dainty burrito, and that is not a burrito I want to eat.

Yeah that is the exact opposite of every time I have ever had GYG or Zambrero in ACT or NSW. Weird.

The turbo/extra goodies are stock from Mazda so I don't see how it isn't authentic. :shrug:

I took a chick on a dinner date to a real (as in non-chain, owned by mexican expats) mexican place once and was completely ready to demolish so much stuff, ordering bits of everything for us to share. RIP she had lapband surgery not long ago and couldn't eat poo poo. I had a huge bag of leftovers I hauled around to bowling, sexy times and home. That was expensive and good food. Not wasting that poo poo!

Leftovers own and it's just silly to leave more than half a meal you paid for at a restaurant.

..for most things, anyway. Like when we go out for Indian and order like one thing each and still have like 75% of the food left over, boom, lunch for the rest of the week.

Only weird exception is if it's like, taking a handful of chips and the last few bites of your steak or whatever in a doggie bag BC chips reheat weird and are garbage once they cool past the acceptable chip heat window.

The secret of reheated chips is doing them in a frying pan with a bit of oil.

Guzman y Gomez was started by two white New Yorkers Steven Marks and Robert Hazan
The business initially employed Colombians, with Marks stating that Australians would not know the difference "as long as you speak Spanish"
Marks stated in 2020 he stated that he was also ambitious to expand the company's presence in the United States, citing Australia's "antiquated" labour laws, high rents, and expensive fresh produce.

(FWIW I agree that GyG is the best chain Mexican)

Was looking for an in here, so thanks for that explanation Coxy.
When GyG was in it's infancy here in NSW, I sent Steven Marks an email, probably sucking up to his organisation for a gig and hating my desk job.
I worked McD's in my teens and even that looked preferable to the pricks I worked for.
To my surprise, I got an email back and if it wasn't his PA, it sounded remarkably like Steven.
He was surprisingly encouraging and sounded real keen to meet with me sometime, but I let it slip.

My 'maybe famous person' story.

Edit: He's quintupled his store locations since that encounter, so I'm the dick who couldn't get back to a rich guy making very OK fast food.

:lol: that's ok. What's the ILD button do?

Beans aren't vegetables! And technically neither are tomatoes. But I worded myself badly there, I was thinking aloud that your chili recipe could be even more delicious with the addition of some capsicum and maybe corn. Dunno if this makes it not a con carne anymore, I am obvs not a chili purist.
