yeah I mean the problem is these people are marketing to a really annoying demographic, and because of that their marketing techniques have to be pretty nonsense, they can't just say 'so we make pickles, they're pretty good, you should try em', they have to create a narrative for you to invest yourself in. I'm sure these are nice people and if you got them drunk they'd be like 'lol yeah pickles are pickles pretty much...'

^ 100% true story
"Occupy Wall Street and Real Pickles represent different approaches to the same effort. Many approaches are needed, as there is much work to be done and no one simple path to an equitable and sustainable society."
I'm loving this.

The line is democratic: everybody waits, including Mr. Meyer’s children. It is a signal of freshness: everybody waits, because the food is cooked to order. It is the people’s endorsement: everybody waits, so it must be worth it.
philly cheesesteak joints have been doing this forever!! >:|

It also pours wine into stemless tulip-shaped glasses. You don’t realize they’re plastic until you touch them.

not enough class warfare. one line about profanities at a mcdonalds in brooklyn isn't enough.
i don't think the new guy is bad. i liked sam sifton enough but i doubt many people miss him. unlike bruni who was missed.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 00:49 (twelve years ago) link
now sam sifton HIS reviews could sometimes skirt the territory on this thread. cuz he was way into class and snobbery and hipsters.

no excuse for bad fries. so many places making good fries these days. sometimes they are the best thing about a restaurant these days.

yeah I mean there's a lot to be said about a shake shack being put in a predominantly black outdoor mall, the changes in downtown brooklyn, etc.

― iatee, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 00:55 (twelve years ago) link
really boring as regular fries
the worst are cheap burger joints with those horrible fries that are coated with something awful. blah. i blame sysco. they must be cheap as hell which is why bad restaurants buy them.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 01:01 (twelve years ago) link
there is bad bacon going around too. in cheap diners. horrible horrible bacon that tastes like death and deadly chemicals. must cost ten cents a pound. again i blame sysco or whatever bulk crap company makes that stuff. bacon is already deadly, no reason for it to taste deadly too.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 01:03 (twelve years ago) link
crinkle cut have no purpose. regular fries or waffle fries or gtfo
