He held a loaded gun, with a round in the chamber, to a kids throat. The worst people in the world are American white men.

It will all be worth it when he drops dead from a heart attack in the next couple of years.

The four years of Trump, with the pandemic coming at the tail end of it, really demonstrated that.

The Loop to be replaced with Thrive Kitchen and Catering venue in fall semester

The Loop will cease on-campus operations on May 5 after its contract with Duke for its Bryan Center location expires at the end of the school year, per a release from Duke Dining. Thrive Kitchen and Catering will open a new dining venue in its place next fall.

doing 5 restaurants that need reservations in 6 weeks before we leave Durham. We are through 3 so far and they all were excellent: 1.Elements 2. Mateo 3. Vin Rouge (tonight) 4, Gocciolina (Saturday) and 5. Cucciolo in 2 weeks. What else do I need to hit?

Also, a couple week ago, my 16 year old ate the tarantula burger at Bull City Burger. It was fucking revolting. He put a leg that fell off on my bun and I almost beat the shit out of him in front of everyone. Disgusted, but proud.

I wish I had never read that.

Panda Express is garbage, but I ate it basically every Wednesday this semester. I was on campus in the morning and by 1pm as I was finishing up that shift I was starving. I needed to eat something before I did my Elon shift. The Panda Express was the easiest thing to eat near the quad.

All the corn syrup always left me feeling slightly ill. I do enjoy their chow mein, though.

M Sushi would be the top of my list if I were in your shoes.

Wife loves it. I’m not a fan of sushi. M Kokko, however, but no reservations there.

M Sushi has become my absolute favorite restaurant. Went to their new Cary location a couple of times, each meal was immaculate. Freshest ingredients I've ever tasted.

Bleu Olive is sneakily up there in the Durham food top tier, IMO, strip mall location aside.

There's a new hot pot place opening up on Ninth Street. Pretty excited about that. I haven't had hot pot since 2013 or so when I worked at a traditional Chinese restaurant.

It's got the same name as a location in Cary: Szechuan Mansion. I've never been to the Cary location, but I'd noticed it once when I was out there. I looked it up, saw it had 4.8 stars, and planned to go. But you really have to go with a group to make it worth it. So it hadn't happened yet. Having it in Durham is going to make it way easier to organize.

Couldn’t stop watching:

 

[rome8180]

I bought this one recently. Haven't had a chance to try it on a bunch of different things yet, but my first impressions were very positive. It's been featured on Hot Ones.

I'm actually planning out what to eat tonight based on what I can use this sauce for.

 

[rome8180]

It's reasonably priced too. I think it's like $3-4 around here, depending on if you go to the yuppie store or the poor person store.

I've been feeling sick the last couple of days, so today I really wanted ramen. MKokko is closed on Mondays and I don't like Dashi that much. So I tried this place called Urban Noodle. I was pleasantly surprised. Not quite as good as MKokko, but better than Dashi. And of course, they have way more options than MKokko since it's an actual ramen place.

It's kind of a pain to get to since it's well down 54. About 20 minutes from my house. So I doubt I'll go there that often, but I will definitely go again. Got the tonkotsu ramen, which is always my favorite. About the same price as MKokko and you get more pork belly.

 

[sivartrenrag]

Agreed, Urban Noodle is surprisingly pretty good.
