Just trying to learn. A couple people have also suggested Duolingo
Duolingo was good for helping me remember high school french vocab words., But I wouldn't say it's good if you want to learn a language really. I picked up enough spanish to order food and have basic small talk in mexico, but I didn't think I really learned the language - I'm sure all my verb tenses and other mechanics were awful.
I got an autotune pedal and I think that thing entertained me for an hour straight. Pregames at my place are never going to be the same because everyone (mostly me) is going to go super hard and start to do Kanye singalongs
thought this was pretty cool. David Chang was at $500,000 and went for the $1,000,000 question. Won it on what was basically a guess. Million dollar question was who was the first president to have electricity in the white house. He guessed Benjamin Harrison, though he wasn't even sure that was a president lol.
i've grown really fond of David Chang. for those who haven't seen it, the second season of his Netflix show, Ugly Delicious, was incredible, particularly the first episode centered around the birth of his son, with a focus on the difficulty professional chefs can have with family. I've also started listening to his podcast. I think it was originally more of an interview thing, but seems to be drifting to more of a banter type podcast. It works because Chang is an interesting guy who has been very open about his various mental health struggles, and similarly open about how much of an asshole he's been in the past and the efforts he's made to grow up.
having said all that, i did eat at Momofuku one time and wasn't particularly impressed lol. maybe we ordered poorly.
Shout out to Mina Kimes for being the phone-a-friend who said Harrison.
She said later on that she was going to say "or Cleveland" before she got cut off by the thirty second timer. Grover Cleveland was.. not one of the choices. Other choices were Grant, Arthur, and Andrew Johnson.

we saw him while watching "worth it". seems like a really good dude. "worth it" is a pretty entertaining show on hulu. try foods at 3 diff price points so it's fun to see some really expensive food. the second host changes in the 2nd season and he's much better imo

LOL. Why the hell would you blame yourself and not the food?
"Taste Buds, be better!!!"
ha, point taken. but i'm blaming myself and not the food because Momofuku is highly successful and generally regarded as a great restaurant. but to your point a truly great restaurant at that price point should only have great things on the menu, so silly to blame my ordering.

I'm a firm believer that if a restaurant puts something on their menu, they should be willing to stake their reputation on that thing. Even in somewhat extreme cases where people are like "well, it's a burger place, you shouldn't have ordered clam chowder". Maybe I like clam chowder, and if they aren't going to be able to make a good clam chowder, it just shouldn't be on the menu. Especially true for nicer places, less so for fast food types.

I think it's managing expectations. More often than not, if I'm going to a restaurant, I'm going with friends. Picking a place is hard enough when menus are all over the place. If most people want a burger but I want pasta, I would rather have an underperforming pasta than a great burger
I just think if a place is going to charge a 300% mark-up for a plate of spaghetti that it should be a decent plate of spaghetti, regardless of what the concept or specialty of the restaurant is supposed to be.
If a restaurant charges Momofuku prices then everything on the menu better whip ass. If it's just a neighborhood place then it's ok to excel at just one or two things. Fast casual places can get away with doing one thing really well but it better be affordable.
I don't want to go in the thread for obvious reasons, but is the new season of Fargo worth watching?
It’s arguably a little less great than the other seasons but definitely worth watching. I really can’t help wondering if my lack of enthusiasm is at least partly related to a general lack of enthusiasm and current preference for whatever the tv equivalent of comfort food is. I’m interested in how I feel about it on future watches.
