Vienna brand sausages (NOT to be confused with canned Armour "vienna sausages") are the best hot dogs I've ever had, but for some reason are extremely difficult to find outside the Chicago area. I had a box ordered on dry ice once and it was worth every penny.

They were founded in Chicago after being served by the company founders as street vendor food at the Columbian Exposition. Chicago is the Home of Hotdogs (because of all the meat packing factories and central rail location) and all of you naughty people out there covering up your bad hotdog tastes (from inferior byproducts) with ketchup are going to the Bad Place.

Yes. That's the "thing" Chicagoans have about ketchup. It disguises bad tastes.

Phenotype posted:

Like, a sub/hoagie is definitely a sandwich, right? A hotdog bun is pretty much the same thing as a hoagie bun, only smaller, and then you put the same kinda stuff inside -- meat, veggies, condiments. The only difference is that you eat a hotdog with the slit in the bun facing up instead of to the side. If a hotdog isn't a sandwich, I don't think you can call a sub a sandwich either.

That is for Philly and the surrounding countryside to determine. Or wherever it is that says "hoagie" or "grinder." We must defer to them in this matter.

I'm fairly sure the show views these characters flaws as serious issues. It's not sympathetic to Chidi having an anxiety disorder, it's making a joke of it and arguing he's a bad person because of it.

I have never in my life seen a single episode of SNL. I'm only vaguely aware of what it even is. A topical sketch show? I don't think it's ever been on Australian TV and all I ever hear people say about it is that it "used to be funny".

Yes, and it's live on (some) Saturday nights.

People who say a show "used to be funny" also sometimes yell at kids to get off their lawn, and also have stories about, when they were your age, walking uphill both ways in the snow to, I don't know, play with a hoop and stick or a cup and ball. Music has also remained bad since just after the time they went to college/university or thereabouts.

Are they that out of touch?

No. No, it's the children who are wrong.

Maya Rudolph is good in everything I've seen her in, and I'll be honest, I forgot about the pants making GBS threads scene posted earlier, like I apparently forgot the rest of the movie.
