Comments

Being from the somewhat south (KY) fried chicken was s staple. But the best I have had other then home cooked is Chuys out of Austin, TX.The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact. -

Interesting! I always want to know what folks eat that don't eat fried foods, pork, meat, sugar, etc. I'm really curious about veganism, vegetarianism, etc. and what they eat in a typical day.Fried chicken (and fried food) is disgusting. To each their own!
What do you eat on a typical day?
What if any fast food do you eat?
What do you eat at site down restaurants?
Do you each chicken prepared other ways? Any other meats?
I happen to like fried chicken but I try not to eat it too often. Some of the best was homemade and once I has some from a small town market that was awesome.
As far as fried chicken from fast food places, KFC, Popeyes, Churches, etc. don't really impress me much. IMO, Popeyes spicy is the best out of the bunch. I've eaten Chick-fil-a and found it to be alright. A good non-fried sandwich, nuggets, salads however, IMO their customer service is their specialty.
As far as Popeyes I actually had the sandwich before the craze got even more crazy. There were no long lines or wait when I tried it. I though it was a good tasting fried sandwich. The crust was flaky, the chicken succulent, and the bun and topping were fine. Even so, I don't understand the craze.
Anyway, I like to mix things up and always look for ways to eat better. I do eat fast food but its not what it used to and can be pretty sad source for food sometimes. I know I need to get away from it and find alternatives. I struggle mostly during lunch if I don't prepare a meal. Just interested on the perspective of others.
I think you know my perspective. Truth is, I don't deprive myself of anything, cheeseburger, ice cream, whatever. I just learned to cut down on portion size and how often on the bad stuff. Replace it with more whole fruits and veggies, grass fed meats and butter. Grass fed milk for the coffee. Trying to cut out a lot of sugar/salt and processed foods, which just about anything that comes in a box, bag, or can has tons in it. Really cut down on the bread too, as that's one of my pitfalls.HT SYSTEM-

Being from the south, I would say it is hard to find non fried food, which in a way it is. My wife is of Asian descent so that has opened my eyes to alot of different food.
Grilled chicken, salmon, shrimp, lobster, crab, tofu, tuna, oysters, clams
Then when you get into vegetables and fruits, name them all plus taro, bitter melon and all kinds of off the wall stuff.
Man the options for non fried food is honestly limitless.- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -

Now, that's the food life I need to live. My palate and brain likes grains and starches but my older age body does not.

Not to change horses but if anyone here gets an opportunity to visit a Cooper's Hawk resturaunt..Do It!! We did as a family on Sat. Was a whim as we were going to eat at Bagger Dave's. New place just opened at the turn in of the lot to Dave's we spotted it and said..let's give them a try instead. Wow!! The burger just slaughtered anything I've ever had in that department and the whole experience was so good we are going again on Friday. Just class place all the way around. Feel sorry for the neighboring eareties once the word gets out. This place will crush em all."if it's not fun, it's not worth it & remember folks, "It's All About The Music"!!

We actually have one whose front entrance is outside of the local Mall. I've never heard of them until I moved here in '12. I though the place looked a bit upscale to be in a Merrillville/Hobart, Indiana Mall but its a nice option to have. Anyway, I've been there a couple of times and the food, wine, and atmosphere is nice. The place always seem to be packed. Also, the heavenly aroma coming from the grill every time I enter the Mall at that entrance makes me want to site down for a bite.tophatjohnny wrote: »Not to change horses but if anyone here gets an opportunity to visit a Cooper's Hawk resturaunt..Do It!!

I'm Italian so bread is like life blood to me. I cut way back on it. Baked goods ?? Dude, I could live in a bakery and be happy forever. Cut that back too. Deli ?? Don't get me started.
Like I said, I don't deny myself anything, just cut the portions and how often on the bad stuff. Pasta....here's the thing, it's not bad for you if it's homemade. Store bought pasta has too much junk added to it that brings on the pounds. Easy to make yourself and tastes better too. Load it up with fresh herbs, fresh organic tomatoes, lemon zest, anchovy paste, garlic, pesto, however you like it.
Have to get rid of the bad fats and carbs, replace with good fats and some carbs.....and learn to put the fork down when your full and not gorge yourself. Go for a walk everyday, at least a mile.
Good fats- like grass fed butter, grass fed meats and cheeses/milk, Avocados. Raw olive oil, not cooked. All oil is bad for you when you heat it up. Some worse than others. Nuts are good too, even some dark chocolate. Incorporate more greens into your diet, more berries,fruit, more veggies, fish, oysters/octopus
Cut down on the sugar too, try and keep under 30 grams a day. Sounds easy eh...but everything has added sugar in it these days.
Do not drink that crap fruit juice in stores, no better than drinking soda. Needs to be fresh squeezed with some pulp in it. That pulp is fiber, and your body treats the sugar differently when fiber is added. Pomegranate juice is also good, mixed with a little fresh squeezed OJ. Drink some green tea with lemon, throw a slice of ginger in it or fresh mint. Water water water....can't say that enough. Forget the diet soda too, worse for you than regular soda.
Have a bad day....went to eat at Mc D's, or fried chicken ? Cool, make an effort to eat good for 3 days after. Just a matter of being more conscious of what we put in our mouths. We all have tastes for the bad stuff, just limit it is all. If you deny yourself totally, you'll crave it more.HT SYSTEM-

I guess Cooper's Hawk locations could vary as today marks our second visit to nothing less than perfection. As for wine..my wife said it was good but she has set in on a brand that she won't waver from..the food joints in my area all suck. Our Hawk soars above em all. Tony must be in an area where they cut all the corners. 😂😂"if it's not fun, it's not worth it & remember folks, "It's All About The Music"!!

Great info there Tony. I've never made pasta before. Maybe something to try.If you deny yourself totally, you'll crave it more.
Man! I miss the good Thai food back in MI. There are not too many places around here in NW Indiana. My first exposure to Thai food was in the late 80's. Thai House (now called Bangkok Cuisine) in Roseville, MI was really good stuff back then.Popeye's had no chance with the Mrs! Took her to our favorite local Thai restaurant!
Yes, I've stopped drinking milk and cut back on cereals. I will indulge on some granola and rice milk from time to time. Also, I've cut back on cheese and yogurt but have not eliminated these. Still trying to find a good balance.Dude....if you have a triglyceride issues, cut out all diary ASAP. You may be shocked by the results!

Bangkok Cuisine in Roseville! I’ll have to check em out!
Yeah, Dave. Bangkok. This surprises no one!!!!!

The place was actually called Thai House back then and was run by Chef Pipop Leodhuvaphan (Mr. Hot Cooked). Its was great food and always on the Metro Times, Det Free Press, etc top Thai food list. They used to have a hot food eating contest every year. They offered seven levels of spices with the hottest being crazy hot with like 25 different peppers in a dish.
Back then, I worked at a bicycle shop and one of my co-workers brother was dating Pipop's daughter. They eventually had a child and I think they may have married. Anyway, I read that the restaurant was sold and Pipop went back to Thailand. So, I'm not sure of the quality of the food today but they sure have expanded to several locations around the Metro area. https://www.bangkokcuisinemi.com/
Here's the new owner's story:Our Story
IT ALL BEGAN IN 1983...
Somnuk and Montree Arpachinda know exactly what following the "American Dream" means. Arriving from Thailand to Michigan in 1971, they opened their first Bangkok Cuisine in 1983. At a time when many people didn't know about Thai food, the couple overcame GREAT ADVERSITY AND HAVE established an empire OF THAI restaurants across THE Metro Detroit AREA, EMPLOYING OVER 100 INDIVIDUALS.
We are thankful you came to visit us on the web, and look forward to sharing our enticing and authentic Thai cuisine with you.

Bitter melon. Awesome!! Try slicing it thin and stir fry with eggs. Really good complement to the grilled foods.
In Asia they also cook some of the best vegetarian plates. Using Tofu or bitter melon and several other items. Looks and tastes just like beef or chicken. I love eating the healthy vegetarian items with beef and chicken. -
I think you know my perspective. Truth is, I don't deprive myself of anything, cheeseburger, ice cream, whatever. I just learned to cut down on portion size and how often on the bad stuff. Replace it with more whole fruits and veggies, grass fed meats and butter. Grass fed milk for the coffee. Trying to cut out a lot of sugar/salt and processed foods, which just about anything that comes in a box, bag, or can has tons in it. Really cut down on the bread too, as that's one of my pitfalls.
Grass fed milk is a new one to me. Come back down to Dallas. I will show you real Mexican food. We got a joint called Taco Bell here. Best Eva!!!
Olive Garden? Best EyeTalian.
Kind of like people telling me. Pei Wei, best Asian food or the fast food Chinese/Vietnamese places. I look at the menu and read.
Egg foo yuong em fast
Muu Gu Gai Pan Chicken walk on cloud.
All I could think. You guys are effin idiots. This is not authentic anything. -
Not that they are fried, but what about the new Impossible Whoppers? I saw the nutritional values of each compared and the fake burger is no healthier than the real one.
I suppose it would mainly apppeal to the PETA crowd...
Still trying to wrap my head around why a vegan would want to have food they love processed, stretched and molded into something that looks and tastes like the very food they despise in the first place.The Gear...
