Revisiting this thread because it got bumped: Other than that, Bartley from Dogma. On a certain level, it seemed as if he was playing himself…

There’s a growing number of halal groceries here in D/FW, but we’re evolving into a community of foodies. That said, I wouldn’t be surprised to find an online food delivery service that does halal meats. Might be pricey, but if it’s only for special occasions…🤷🏾‍♂️

I’m sure there are, especially if they’re particularly bad cooks, but insist on bringing food anyway. I mean, most stuff, you could take or leave. But some dishes are contagiously un-appetizing, and might ruin appetites. Bad/unusual smells would top that list. Beyond that, some dishes can be...

Sometimes, it’s NOT what you say, but the way that you say it.

I’m an American, and my family observes Thanksgiving. For context: We don’t have any illusions about European colonialism- our ancestors include Africans, Choctaw, Taino, Peruvians and others. But- like Christmas- we like to use the holiday to see old friends and bond with family over food...

Throughout my life, 99% of my orders from Jack in the Box have been Breakfast Jacks. I love those; can’t stand their burgers.

I order medium, and sometimes still cook mine at home medium rare. If I’m pre-cooking them intentionally for storage and reheating, I also go medium rare.
