The one closest to me is an independent franchise. It's one of the rebranded '80s throwback Pizza Hut Classics too, but they have had taco pizzas since I was a kid. They had the Wing Street wings for several years before that as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the new one, the 90's one. Those were amazing! The one that used to be right down the road from my parents was the last one in our area that had it (and they sold so many that they kept going well beyond when Pizza Hut discontinued it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the crusts are different, but it was basically the same idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richardhead | 2,925 Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 Barcelona Wine Bar. Bacon wrapped dates, PEI Mussels, Shishito Peppers, Chorizo w/sweet and sour figs, Grilled Hanger Steak and some hummus. We also had some seared scallops that were amazing. Forgot to take a picture though. https://barcelonawinebar.com/media/Rino-Dinner-Menu-9.6.20.pdf 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabonga | 2,533 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) Mrs. Tabonga and I had lunch at the HuHot near us today - it is a Mongolian grill where you pick your poisons and then dump a bunch of their sauces (of which they have a whole plethora (as opposed to a partial plethora)) on them. The perfect place if you are on a keto diet. Edited September 26, 2020 by Tabonga 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skorp | 387 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) True Food Kitchen is my favorite. I always get the Turkey Burger and hash there. Another place that I love, but unfortunately have to drive 3 hours to get there is Next Level Burger. Everything there is plant based and it just tastes unbelievably good.

fcgamer | 5,015 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Just got back from a 100k ride, so I sprang for a hearty lunch. There's a shop near mine, which I took @OptOut to last time he visited, simply called Szechuan Style Beef Noodles. I go there generally on cycle day, and I'm friends with the owner. Today's lunch: Spicy (ma la) dry beef noodles, and a plate of small fish and dried tofu. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 5,015 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Grabbed this from Fried Rice Hero, a chain restaurant. The location by me is extremely clean, making it appealing to westerners. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 5,015 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) I generally eat at this restaurant a few times a week for lunch. It's called "Hibiscus Tea & Dry Noodles" Food is pretty good, cheap, and the shop is clean. Edit: I've taken @OptOut here too.

michaelwilson | 3 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Actually, I like KFC and Mac so much. Ofc it's not a restaurant but it's a perfect places to have a fast meal during work. As well I like Mexican and Japanese food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor | 919 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 re-reading this thread and the early Pizza Hut talk saddens me. three years ago, we had three Pizza Huts in town. Now, we have one. Both of the stores that closed offered Wings, Taco Pizza (not my thing but whatev), a buffet, and all of the specialty stuff that comes and goes. The only one left only sells the most basic offerings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 5,015 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Decided to check out a local restaurant yesterday, near my work. I knew it was going to be good as there was a small shrine set up in the back of the shop, and all the folks working there and the customers were all speaking Taiwanense. Great meal, only cost me about $2.50, and it passed the "digestion test" too! 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those look pretty mediocre, like they were fried in oil that's been reused a couple of times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh there's no doubt about the oil reuse. This is a large chain restaurant, but imo the best dumpling chain restaurant in Taiwan. From the story I heard, the chain used to be owned by a pair of brothers (cousins?), But they had a falling out at some point and the other brother started his own dumpling chain, which has a very similar product range, albeit not nearly as good.

fcgamer | 5,015 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Decided to go back to a beef noodle shop today, near my work. We call the place "Shirtless Beef Noodles", as the first (and only, up til today) time we'd been there, was in the summer, and a large worker dude was sitting inside, shirt off, rocking his man boobs, sweat dripping down his body as he ate lunch. Nice. To be honest, this one was pretty mediocre. I subconsciously knew it would be, after looking at menu prices. Large portions and cheap prices, but the flavour is pretty bland. I've had much better beef noodles, but I've had much much worse too. Not bad to switch up the routine, but I probably won't be going back for another year. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 5,015 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Easter dinner! Originally I had hoped to invite a friend of mine over, as well as another friend and his wife. Friend and wife had other obligations, and other friend went to Taipei for the weekend, so there went that plan! Been eating more or less clean the past weeks, so I decided to spring for a pizza today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
