“Dirty soda” is actually gross I live in Reno, NV and this is she city where all of the Mormons from UT use to escape to the “big city”. It’s as disgusting as it sounds. A few years ago I was invited to the Mormon wedding of my really close friend. It was a dry wedding, so instead of alcohol they had a dirty soda station. So, you can’t get tipsy, but you CAN diabetes from this weird concoction.
Hello Queen Karen and 100% more Rod!
So you had a lot of subsequent discussion on pizza, pizza parlors, and the general vibes of the 80’s and 90’s, here’s my take: Domino’s tastes better, but their hand tossed pizza is too thin, and Pizza Hut tends to underbake, their pan pizza is more substantial than the hand tossed at Domino’s, but the current Pizza Hut pan pizza is NOTHING like the Pizza Hut pan pizza of yore! And I don’t know what it is nationally, but here you can only get a Domino’s pan pizza in a medium size, and that ain’t enough!
I did just get the Domino’s personal pan pizza with reward points, and it’s 10×4, two slices of delicious pan pizza, but they want $10.00 for it! For three toppings! I’m good!
I remember our local Pizza Hut with the arcade games, the pizza buffet, the salad bar, all that! Now everything’s gone, they’ve got some tables, but I have never seen anyone sitting in there, they just pick up the food and go.
Now this episode ran in August during the Burger King advertising blitz, and I gotta say, I was influenced! My son, up until this point, had yet to have a proper Burger King Whopper; the ones we had on the road at rest stops were poor quality, and the ones we had locally weren’t quite hot enough. So this was our chance! The patty was hot, the lettuce was fresh (not bagged shredded cyclosporiasis lettuce), and the bacon was crisp! I waited a long time in the drive thru for it at the beginning of the month, and by the end of the month when my son and I dined in, they were already starting to fall off from the beginning of the month, but it was still good! I wish them well in their endeavors!
Love food! Love to eat!

Hello Karen and Rod!
You both put me on to so many food thangs that I just have to give you my thanks! Back in March when I attended the Attack on Titan: Beyond the Walls concert, you DM me the Asian Restaurant near the Bojangles Coliseum. I won’t mention the name because when I went, it was after the lunch crowd, it was nice and not crowded. This was you and Karen’s hidden gem and I see why. No crowds, great food and I got to sit at the bar and chop it up with a few of the staff.
Also, another thing that I got to try that you mentioned, especially during the pandemic. Recently, my sister surprised me with an early birthday present – a gift card and coupon to Goldbelly. I am a fan of lox and bagels and really wanted to order of Russ and Daughters – shout out to Tanya from NY – but their offerings were above my gift card, so I picked another bakery, Orwasher’s Bakery. Got some sourdough bagels, cream cheese, fresh lox and some black and white cookies from their bakery. Tanya always said that if i make it back up to NY, we would do a field trip to Russ and Daughters as she would be my appointed NY food guide.
Thank you Rod and Karen for putting me onto Goldbelly and the restaurant that is your hidden gem 🙂
I had to re-listen, are you cooking with an induction stove? I am thoroughly impressed that you can get any Wok Hay (breath of the wok) from an induction stove! I still look down on you for not having a real stove, but that’s impressive!
Also, I recommend day-old rice for Krapow (or other forms of fried rice) as it results in a better texture and flavor absorption.
Gochujang is amazing! You can use it as a simple flavorful hot sauce (they hand out tiny tubes of it on Korean Air flights!
My favorite recipes with it are:
Poke sauce (poke actually means roughly chopped, in reference to the roughly chopped sashimi and / or avocados)
Mix soy sauce, gochujang, ssamjang, soy sauce, white sesame oil until emulsified, add hand crushed sesame seeds and sliced spring onion greens.
Pour this on top of a rice bowl with diced sashimi or avocados and it is like you are sitting on the beach in Hawai’i!
Mapo Tofu can also be made, but there are actually recipes out there that you can look up. Enjoy that magical sauce!
