When going out for a steak, I always ask for the house steak sauce, as well as A1. I'm still open for new things and comparison, but never once have I found anything better.

Can confirm it goes perfectly with scrambled eggs and toast.

There's another sauce I've seen in some stores similar to A1 called
HP Sauce (which I think is fairly good).

The only thing that has come remotely close for me, would be "W" sauce (not to be confused with Worchestershire sauce). However, I believe "W" sauce is used more during the cooking process, or even for marinading or as a binder to make seasoning stick before cooking. Great flavor, though.

If a steak is really good, I don't need sauce at all. But, as I said previously, for me A1 goes great with just about anything one would also use ketchup, mustard, horseradish sauce, or mayonnaise (gross) with.

Someone else also mentioned this. I'll have to grab a small bottle when I see it. Seems to be owned by Kraft/Heinz so I can't imagine it would be hard to find at most local grocery stores.

Especially on steak fries.

To be as good as A1, it needs to be able to be used on anything. There's levels to this shit, man! :D

KFC used to do a skinless chicken, I believe it was baked.

many years ago, they also had rotisserie chicken which was outstanding. I used to get their #3 (two legs and theigh and two sides) with regular recipe, add an extra biscuit and a couple chocolate chip cookies. Mmmmm. Man, I miss eating out.

Also, Many years ago they (KFC) had a wing ding meal for $4, 4 wings, 2 sides + 1/2 cobb of corn.
That used to be a favorite of mine.

Also, Arby's has a couple of seasonal fish sandwiches that I
actually think are some of the best fish sandwiches in the
industry - One of them is the King's Hawaiian Deluxe fish
sandwich, which has a King's Hawaiian bun, tartar sauce,
lettuce, tomato, and cheese, and I think the fish fillet they
use is pretty good. I think their curly fries are pretty good
too.

During Lent, places that normally don't sell fish (Arby's, Wendy's,
etc.) have it on their menu, so they can pick up the Catholic
clientele.

I have had that King's Hawaiian Deluxe Fish sandwich, and it's
quite tasty.

I agree. I like a good steak sometimes, and a good steak doesn't need any sauce. I do like horseradish sometimes, but only with certain cuts/dishes, such as roast beef.

I don't recall Burger King having those.. Maybe I hadn't
noticed, or they're regional items.

They were in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

I think Burger King's chicken is okay. I'd prefer chicken
nuggets from KFC or McDonald's though.

I've bought the frozen ones from Tyson, that I could microwave.

I was having acid reflux fairly regularly (and possibly GERD).
I started taking 20mg of Omeprazole daily, which has been
helping a lot.

I take 40 mg of that twice a day.

What did you think of working there?

Not bad. I still remember the instructions from "The Manual Of
Operating Data" on the proper way to make a Whopper (R).

My first job was at a Dairy Queen (1996 to 2003). Not too long
ago I was thinking back about the people I worked with there,
and particularly the people I really enjoyed working with. I
had found one of them on Facebook and messaged him, but he
didn't remember me. :(

I ordered a deal from Burger King this morning via DoorDash...buy
one double sausage egg and cheese croissant, and get one free. I added
an order of tater tots, and a large Dr Pepper.

I have enough food and drink now to last until March. As long as I
can keep power, I'll be in good shape, and won't have to order out
or eat out until spring.

Ooh, that sounds like it'd be good. Wonder if it'll make a comeback.

Nutritional Downsides:

Don't ruin food with facts! ;) You
think pepperoni is that much better for
you? Spam is just a salty meat, like
pepperoni or other things people put on
pizza. And you don't put a lot, just a
bit. Like sausage.
You'd probably want to pan-fry it up a
a little bit first.

Polish dog is probably the only thin

I like it with... more cabbage!

Squeeze out all the vinegar from the
sauerkraut, mix it up 50/50 with
regular cabbage, cook together with a
bunch of butter and paprika in the

I think sauerkraut is only really good with certain things. A bratwurst or Polish dog is probably the only thing I like sauerkraut with.

I produce a whole lot of cabbage at home, therefore I produce a lot of sauerkraut as a cheap way of preserving it. I remember watching a video review for a fermentation tank and the guy running the review said "I don't know who would need a tank as big as this one". I have 6 which are about the same size as that one.

Sauerkraut is "really good" with most basic meats. You roast a chicken in the fireplace, sauerkraut will work fine with it. You roast ribs, same thing. It is a classic with sausages or burgers.

Sauerkraut is "fine" with a lot of stuff. There are lots of combinations I would not be doing but I end up doing because I have so much of it. I have lots of eggs, pumpkins and cabagge, therefore if I need to clear the storage shed to make room for the next batches I end up eating grilled zuccini with sauerkraut and a fried egg on top. No high class cooking and not an A class combination but it works.

chicago dogs dont have pepperoncinis.
it has what accession said.

i hate ai but it got it right this time:

"Here's a breakdown of the classic toppings:
All-Beef Hot Dog: A natural casing, all-beef frankfurter is traditional,
often from Vienna Beef.

Poppy Seed Bun: A steamed poppy seed bun holds everything together.

Yellow Mustard: Squeezed on top of the dog.

Bright Green Relish: A sweet, neon-green pickle relish.

Chopped White Onions: Fresh, diced white onions.

Dill Pickle Spear: A whole dill pickle spear tucked alongside the dog.

Tomato Wedges: Slices or wedges of fresh tomato.

Sport Peppers: A few pickled sport peppers for a bit of heat.

Celery Salt: A final sprinkle of celery salt."

his face". It never occurred to Klink that his monacle was scratched. <G>

Another episode had the wife of Bob Crane (Hogan) as Klink's Secretary.
Klink couldn't dance worth a flip, and when Hogan said "I haven't danced
in years", she said "I thought you'd never ask".

While they're dancing, Hogan tells her "Careful, honey...you're steaming
up Klink's Monacle!!". <G>

They think he's going to talk about the Norden bomb...but it was a brand
of vacuum cleaner. <G>

Sauerkraut -- an angry German. Sounds like Colonel Klink when he realized that Colonel Hogan got the best of him. <G>

"HOOOOGAAAAN!"

Or like General Burkhalter: "Klink, you could marry my sister".

Or Major Hochschtetter: "What is this man doing here??!!".

They don't make them like that anymore.
