On restaurant food and how healthy it is
so recently we have had the claim that you too can eat a "healthy" meal at insert fast food place here... and that it is no different than insert higher priced restaurant.
Well the other day was watching worst cooks in America. It is entertaining to see people who literally can burn a kitchen down... and have no clue what flavor is, or how to cook anything. In the meantime I have picked a few things as well... or who cannot boil water.
But one thing really struck me from Anne Borrell (I am sure I am not spelling the Chef's name right) steak. And it is a good insight into insert restaurant here and why restaurant food is full of hedonics and not necessarily good for you. While most of us have cooked a rib eye from time to time... I want to know how many of you use brown sugar in the rub?
<------ NOT ME. And mine come out tasty, thank you very much. With a nice crust to boot as well.
How many of you will boil first and then pan sear your carrots, in a simple syrup?
<----- NOT ME... though they did look pretty.
Oh and I am sure both tasted amazing.
And that was a good insight at what is going on in the Restaurant bidnezz. I do not care if you are talking off... oh the Carls Juniors down the road, or the high end restaurant in the city. The use of sugar, salt and fat has increased to the level of a science... to make you CRAVE the food.
This is why when you say that you can find a healthy meal at a fast food place... would have been accurate up to generation ago, that is about 25 years ago, when heavy food engineering and use of sugar, salt and fats went over board. It also has changed how I personally look at it. Fast food is crap... but so is higher end food. The only way I can control what goes into my food and EAT in a healthy way... I have to cook, bake, what have you, myself. And in fact, we do go out. but we are aware that it does not matter if this is Mickey Ds. or Chillis (Haven't been there in a LONG time)... or Chevy's... or for that matter the high end local place... food has been engineered to the point that no... it is NOT healthy. I don't care who does it.
You might be able to find something LESS bad for you... but let's use the correct qualifier here.
Oh and there are now studies on this... but watching the Chef prepare the food was an insight into the thinking of restaurant food. Last week the Pork Payard, using herbed butter was the other aha moment...
Remember all this is about increasing pleasure, and those three elements in the right combos do exactly that.
So watching that show can be amusing at MULTIPLE levels, and you get to see how restaurant chefs truly think about food prep... and what is tasty and what are the standards.

All other food is crap! I'M the only one who can cook it so it's perfect, because as we all know, I'M little Ms. Perfect. [/DU Mode Off]
:whatever:

What the.... ?
There is nothing in Carl's Jr (or other fast foods) that make you crave their food. It just takes self control to stop you from eating three meals a day at those places. We have a Carl's Jr within walking distance of our place, and we have it only once every few months.
But, I had to stop reading at the Carl's Jr. part because her post just didn't make sense... it just rambled on and on and on and on and on and on and on oh shiny and on and on and on and on and on......

Why would you go out to eat and eat healthy? we try to eat pretty healthy at home but when we go out to eat we indulge.

Bingo!
DUmmies, all ass backwards. :-)

Who would have ever guessed that Know-It-All nadinbrschsczchczskcschski is also Cook-It-All nadin? And yet, not long ago, DUmmy KIA nadin strongly implied that she herself is slightly stouter than the Las Vegas whale.
It's hard to imagine the hell on earth occupied by Mr. nadinbrshczecxczhski.

You wouldn't know pleasure if you spent a solid week with a Rabbit (http://www.mypleasure.com/Rabbit-Vibrators.asp) jammed up that canyon you call a vag, Comrade Skankovich.

Unless nadine is secretly Gordon Ramsey or some other famous chef, I wouldn't take any food advise from that DUmmy if she/he opend a five star resturant and gave that shit away.

Ya know what Naddachancinsky, we really don't give a rusty **** what you have to say! I just love how these first generation twats tell us how we should behave!
Just why in the hell did your parents drag you to this country if y'all had it so good where ya came from? Ya musta had it pretty damn fine since you do nothin' more than find fault with us!
How 'bout ya go back and fix the slime hole ya came from before ya start givin' us advice on how to improve ours!
**** off and die, ya stinkin' rusty c**T!!!!!!!!! Close yer legs and the smell will go away! We might be able to stand ya a little better without the dead carp stench!

DUmmie says, "The use of sugar, salt and fat has increased to the level of a science... to make you CRAVE the food."...like she'd eat there a second time if they didn't use those ingredients.
"Yes sir, the food was so bad, I'm gonna eat here every night."

This primitive is spinning a bouncy based on recent news..

If we had category awards, I would nominate unpronouncable as the Most Boring Dummy. Just the rambling on and on, trying to sound smart. Imagine this in real life, trapped in a social situation with her.
I'm tired of the Lefties as food police. Why NYC puts up with Bloomberg doing it, is beyond me. I thought NYCers were made of stronger stuff.

Some are made of steak, and some are made of flan as I understand it.
Meh...what is one to do?
