So, you're walking down the street minding your own business and I come up behind you (lets pretend I'm 6' 6" 260 and not 5' 9") and get you in a rear naked choke.
I say you have to have dinner with me and I'll take the cuffs off I bound us by the ankles with with my magical extra set of hands if you promise not to have food on lip that makes me uncomfortable and spoils an otherwise fine dining experience.
There are only two options: Red Lobster or Olive Garden. Where do we eat? [Reply]
To quote Mrs. Bowser - "OMG, WTF??? What is WRONG with you people??"
Then she promptly said Red Lobster for the cheddar biscuits, lol. I went Olive Garden for those breadsticks and salad (yeah, I don't get the salad thing either). A HOUSE DIVIDED [Reply]

I've had Lasagne at Tony's. You won't find a dozen Italian restaurants better in the nation. Maybe not a half dozen better.
Lasagne is lasagne. You can have better sausage, or a higher cailber of ricotta, here and there. But it's not like steak or BBQ where time, place, preparation and secret recipe makes all the difference.
It's a baked pasta dish, not a Dutch master painting. [Reply]

Pasta, sauces, meats, cheeses, and ratios all play a role in a great lasagna. You're clearly not a huge fan of lasagna (that's OK) if you think a lasagna is a lasagna is a lasagna.

Hope you expand your culinary horizons.
What does this even mean? The question is whether you'd rather have OG or RL. I'd go RL because it's pretty easy to make really good snow or king crab. I've been to RL many a time and had fucked up shrimp; crab is a safer bet (I prefer crab to lobster, but lobster is relatively safe there, too). OG is pretty dependent on the cooks. Been there way too many times with overcooked or stuck-together pasta.
And to the poster that said RL for their stuffed mushrooms: Those are pretty good! OG's stuffed shrooms are pretty tasty, too. [Reply]

I love Lasagne. But part of what I love about it is that even pretty 'bad' lasagne is pretty fucking good. And anybody passingly competent at lasagne as a major chain sit-down restaurant is going to do a really decent job.
Another thing that varies wildly in quality compared to lasagne is pizza.

I was satirizing your snobbishness about lasagne. Seafood is yet another thing that varies 100x as much in quality. Yet in successive posts you demean me for my lasagne peasantry and then say 'crab is crab, even at RL' [Reply]
