Steak bites, leftover from a beef tenderloin I trimmed Sunday. Going to cook 'em up hot and fast in some cast iron and hit them with a little Gochujang sauce at the end.

We go through the Panda Express drive-thru. It's fast, reasonable, and as good as most of the Chinese sit-down restaurants around here -- which says more about them than Panda Express.
I used to eat at the one in Roswell fairly often, mostly because I love the Mandarin Teriyaki Sauce. I stopped at one here in SC for lunch one day and my eyeballs were about to float I needed to piss so bad. I had to spend 5 minutes going through the line to place my order before they'd give me the code for the men's room. I won't be back. The worst part is that this store isn't in a part of town where you see many, if any, homeless people or loiterers.

I don't eat at places that require a code to use the bathroom. Only restaurant in town that has that BS.

Bad news, per the permitting dashboard the timelines on the federal environmental assessment have been pushed back. Date of completion was pushed from 1/14 to 3/27.
Meh...if there weren't delays, I'd start to suspect that something is wrong.

I'm sure it could be even better if you subbed the Red Lobster biscuit mix.
Making it now. Thanks!

Taco smell is over-priced garbage. I'd rather hit up a real Mexican food truck.

All fast food/chain pizza places are terrible to me now compared to when I was growing up……..don’t know if the quality has gone down or my tastes have gone up. Pretty sure the answer is both.
Domino's is actually better. They changed their cardboard crust recipe and sauce recipes a few years back and it was a big improvement.

Well, they don't taste any different but they are less messy to deal with without having boiling liquid left in many of the shells to drip on you when eating them.
This why you put the whole shell in your mouth, crack it with your teeth and suck out the juice before you eat the nuts and spit out the empty shell halves.

ETA: another post made me remember, one of the beast buffets as a kid that I feel like was very cheap was the Pizza Hut buffet. Few things better to start the weekend as a kid than the Pizza Hut buffet on friday night.
The Shoney's in my hometown had a late night breakfast buffet on Friday nights. It was money after a night of drinking.

Now a good breakfast buffet is $25 and a dinner buffet is $50+.
The one I mentioned is $48, but it includes champagne. They also have a seafood buffet on Friday nights for $55.

Not sure why you are getting downvoted. Been doing the same for years.
