Crowds gather outside the original Nathan's Famous hot dog stand on Coney Island, 1955. The stand was originally built in 1916 by Polish immigrant Nathan Handwerker with a $300 loan; today, the restaurant chain can be found all over the world.

Fastfood Undead — Chains That Are No Longer Chains

A week and a half ago, it was announced on Dos Burritos‘ Facebook page that the Mendez Family had made the difficult decision to close the last location of their restaurant, which was once part of a small, local chain. Dos Burritos was founded in 1977 and, at its peak, there were locations in Downtown Hollywood, East Los Angeles, Little Armenia, Van Nuys, and possibly elsewhere. I ate there many…

Canadian Italian Food Roundoff V2: Please do not vote if not from the Canadian Provinces (made it difficult to tell last time)

okay so I'm accounting for the fact that olive garden only has locations in Canada in the west coast, prairie provinces and Ontario this time, so that's where the poll locations will focus on

BUT

I'm including Quebec and the Atlantic provinces at the end simply because I know there might be some folks nuts enough to drive down to the Vermont and Maine olive gardens

there's NO "see results" option this time since it took up half of all votes last time, if you don't live in these areas of Canada, I'm not polling for your data atm, you'll need to wait til the day's up

edit: i have not included option of "im canadian i go to neither" because I'm fairly sure that'll also skew the results since I know americanized italian food isn't for everyone

Henry's weird about the machine in a 'I wish to create something that will surpass me and that I can happily die at the hands of' kinda way and Bill is weird about the machine in a 'I want to embody the metal that will outlive my flesh' kinda way. This leads directly into how they are weird about each other this is important.

thursdays are meaningful again (magnus protocol)

The tragedy of Hunter is that his calling in life was to be Omega’s cringe dad who volunteers to coach her hockey/soccer/baseball team and treats it like the olympics but instead he’s a Star Wars character and got saddled with the horrors. Someone give this man a clipboard, a cup of terrible watery coffee from a rec center snack bar, and a gaggle of middle school girls to give inspirational locker room speeches to before he snaps

Quick post this old man while no one’s looking

You ever been attacked by a orange tiger, Bell?

It's been a year since the first kgb meme so here's part 2!

Part 1

Food in Venice is heavily seafood dominated, being that the city is man-made islands on the sea with no growing space of their own

Red Lobster was founded in 1968 and thus was already an established chain seafood restaurant in the US in the 70s and 80s

Armand enjoys having secondhand experiences via Daniel and would likely want to re-experience food familiar to him (seafood) served in 'modern' popular styles

Ipso facto, how many times was Daniel subjected to endless shrimp at different Red Lobster locations before the fascination of seeing the exact same restaurant in different places wore off for Armand and how unwell does the mere scent of cocktail sauce now make Daniel feel?

headcanon for sydcarmy that I've had for months now that i was reminded of rewatching Fools Rush In yesterday (rip Matthew Perry) and reading @ambeauty 's new fanfic.

i love the unplanned pregnancy trope with them and also the idea that they would do every milestone backwards or hit them super fast in terms of their relationship. hear me out

what i love about sydney and carmy is how intense they are about each other while not knowing each other for that long. carmy spends braciole acting like a heartbroken widower and ends the episode by planning on revamping his family restaurant with a girl he's only known for a couple months. the restaurant dream he thought died with his brother, the person he loved the most (woah). while sydney is her most emotionally vulnerable with a guy she barely knows (and physically too, i.e the hug after the fire suppression test and the table scene) and constantly gives him second chances when he doesn't deserve them.

they are weird and intense about each other even with all these platonic and professional boundaries they put in place.

in my mind that is rotting from tumblr and ao3, when those boundaries disappear they will do the relationship shit on speed drive. oops they get pregnant after a few months of dating or a situationship. whats having a baby when you have a restaurant? they are already the mom and dad of the bear!

they would elope randomly on a tuesday afternoon after dating for a couple months bc they practically eat sleep live and breathe each other every single day anyways? carmy tells syd he doesn't want to wait when he already knows she's it for him. syd says he's crazy but she may just be crazier for agreeing (also grew up with hearing her parents love story who got married super young and fast so why cant she?)

oh they just started dating a few days ago? syd moves in or they start looking for new places. shes already here all the time when they menu plan. carmy already buys her fave snacks, subscribes to a couple streaming services for the first time bc syd loves to binge-watch shows, and has a couple of her scarves laying around.

and i love that this could go really bad, how intense and how much they love each other (bc im an angst enjoyer) or most likely really great bc these two losers want to practically live in each other's skin and make each other better.

side note: after watching fools rush in again...need a sydcarmy au bc the premise of two people from different cultures, values and perspectives foolishly rushing into a big thing like opening a restaurant having a baby is so them!
