Kids these days use their number of scholarships/acceptances as bragging rights. My kid had some classmates bragging about getting into 10+ universities.
Yep. Went to a high school graduation last year and a bunch of students were announced as having 30+ acceptances and offers of millions in scholarships.
The valedictorian applied to like 3 places. I talked to his dad and he said he didn’t realize that it was a competition to apply and get accepted to so many places and get approved for scholarships from schools you have no intention of ever attending.

Why did you pick the most boring trailer for the Whites. This one is way better:

It’s only because Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and Easter are over. That’s the big chocolate holidays. They have already made shite tons of money by using inferior ingredients.

re: Onion Rings

Some good suggestions here.
Also, don’t crowd the onion rings in the fryer. It’s better to do small batches.
Restaurants can cook more at a time because the commercial fryer is very good at maintaining temp.

Absolutely not, I worked at most of those places boiling crawfish when I was younger :lol:

re: Costco prime filet versus a local butcher

I’m not arguing. Just clarifying. Nothing I said was untrue. And it’s pretty much the absolute basics of meat grading. It’s not like we arguing over YG vs. its QG :lol:

I said "most". Not all.
Ok. So if it’s “most” then start naming them.

Prime Costco vs Choice McCords = Prime will always be better, but there's nothing wrong with choice and I would pick the better price.
This isn’t specific based on these two.
But prime isn’t always necessarily the better cut. The whole cow is graded as “prime” or “choice” so any meat that comes off that cow gets that grade. You can get sometimes get some pieces of “prime” that aren’t as good and some pieces of “choice” that are outstanding.
It’s always better to actually look at the meat instead of getting hung up on prime vs choice.
One caveat, overall “prine” is more consistent, while “choice” can vary widely (better or worse) than standard “choice”.

Name some restaurants that you think do not dust their crawfish instead of letting them soak.
Your turn. Name some that do dust.

Ok. Define scan and go for me.
Scan and Go is you open the app. Scan the items while you are in the aisle. Then put them in your cart. Press pay. And walk out the door. You never go to a register.
Your only interaction with an employee is at the door as they check your cart.

This is why restaurants mostly use the dusting method.
I seriously can’t think of a legit restaurant that dusts. Only shitty restaurants use the dusting method.

The best CostCo can do right now is have their employee scan everything in your cart while you wait to get to the cashier.
What? I scan all my stuff at Costco at the self checkout (unless I have alcohol).
And Scan and Go is coming to Costco eventually. They are still testing it in some stores and the customer experience has been overwhelmingly positive.
Costco over pilot tests everything they do so it takes a long time for them to roll stuff out because they want it to be perfect/the best

True for most cuts but I don't believe they blade tenderize their filets.
I just left Costco. It looks like you are right. All other cuts are blade tenderized (except the uncut cryovac stuff)

Going to do some filets for Easter and usually get prime filets from Costco- New Orleans.
Would a place like McCord's butcher in Metairie be head and shoulders better ?
Costco blade tenderizes their meat. So yes, a butcher would be better.

This isn't even a clever April Fool's joke. You should feel bad.
The being able to chuck them into ceilings and attach them to drones was pretty funny.
