For context, Guga is best known for doing crazy "experiments" with giant steaks and other large pieces of meat. He makes a happy face when one of his steaks turns out really well. That is not his happy face.

Opened up the "Spicy Nacho Cheese" doritos dip this morning, it was honestly about what I expected. As best I can tell, it's just rebranded fritos jalapeno cheddar dip in a larger tub, to take advantage of the much stronger doritos brand. That makes it a lot more likely that I was right that the cool ranch jalapeno is just the exact same dip with a bit of ranch mix added.

Captain Hygiene posted:This just reminded me of a memory from when I was about 5 years old. I had some kind of candy egg that had a little rubbery dinosaur inside it. I thought it was a gummy candy so I bit some of it off and ate it, even though it was really tough and it had the weirdest flavor that makes me feel sick even more when I remember it. To this day I'm not sure whether it was a terrible gummy candy or if I managed to eat part of a toy as a dumb little kid. We have Easter candy called Mignon eggs that are nougat filling inside a real egg shell. As a kid I ate like half a shell of one because I was convinced it was actually some sort of hard sugar shell instead of egg.

I think this is the resturant, and this is a copy of the video that has sound. $218 per person + tip, wine pairings are $125 or $175.

Six people, two nondrinkers, three moderate drinkers, and my cousin who got absolutely obliterated. It was absolutely delicious and over $1000.  Same thing costs $328 a person now.

yeah that one probably tastes excellent but looks horrible, probably greasy. potatoes and filling are already cooked so I'm wondering if the skin is really worth the point of frying it.

You could just... roast the chicken skin, like it comes out delicious just on roast chicken legs and stuff, you don't need to do all that to it.

I dunno, it seems like they didn't really know what they were doing so the final product is just some weird mess with the mashed potato leaking out. I guess the chicken on the inside is pre-cooked so the oil frying is only really only to crisp up the skin? I don't really see the point. HookedOnChthonics posted:the 'secret' of those kinds of haute cuisine places is that the food is supposed to be entertaining and surprising small plates that punctuate three hours of getting absolutely smashed on heavy pours of very very good wine The main reason it's so offputting is because it's so expensive. So when the weird artful meals are gross or inedible or just plain seem unpleasant, it seems like such a waste or a grift. Or some kind of cenobite thing. Like I guess if people who got money to burn like the experience, nothing damage done, but it sure as hell is gross to watch.

i mean fwiw i think the value proposition of a well-regarded shmancy restaurant would probably actually be closer to parity (in terms of total r&d + labor + ingredients + specialist equipment cost, divided by number of customers, versus purchase price) than most food options at a major sports stadium, just as another example of a food that's inextricable from its context you're absolutely paying for ~the experience~ of individual attention from staff, eating in extremely refined surroundings, the choreography of the meal, taste and texture combinations impossible to get anywhere but that one kitchen, etc., not the meal in a vacuum. no one does haute takeout just like stadium concessions don't do takeout--it just doesn't make sense to separate the food from the surrounding vibe, even price aside as far as it being gross or inedible... well, these places change their menus constantly and i'm sure there are some misses out there but for the most part i think the occams razor still suggests that things which might look unappealing on instagram are actually very pleasing to eat in-person, as they have been designed by very talented chefs in a competitive environment full of demanding, savvy clientele for that purpose  (i don't actually mean to go this far out of my way to defend this kind of thing and will not do so further, haha, i've only experienced it properly once myself, but i do enjoy, like, listening to dave arnold's podcast and appreciating the insane effort and innovation that goes into cooking at that level) related (sound encouraged): https://i.imgur.com/BW2u7Pn.mp4

Don't let Wisconsin learn about giant glasses like this or you will be seeing bloody marys garnished with 5 lb brick of colby, a full rack of smoked beef ribs, and full sized pickled onions skewered on a rapier.

So this morning, to use the stuff up, I mixed a couple tablestpoons of 2x spicy buldak in the container of cool ranch doritos dip, then added some of it to my breakfast. MUCH better flavor, a lot like having buffalo ranch without the nasty taste of Frank's, and a slight flavor of delicious chicken.

It's already been brought up, but I think this would be almost OK if you took out half the potatoes, and left off the BBQ sauce and flamin hot cheetos. Because deep frying that ball of mash and chicken wrapped in chicken skin might be ok. But adding layers of sugary BBQ sauce and fried cheese puffs, and frying that is just gross.

Sometimes they're even practical if they're intended for like a large group. And then sometimes they're a dehumanizing eating challenge for the sake of getting attention.
