Sarah,

So we have to dislike it in order to not be considered a shill? You’re an idiot.

There seemed to be a reasonably good crowd for lunch today. The food was very good- even though they messed up our orders a bit (blame that on opening day jitters), they brought the correct items, free of charge. We got a free sample of their famous fries, which were good. 3 guys, $125 without tip, and we had enough food leftover (well, at least 2 of us did) to last 2 days.

The food was surprisingly adequate, and the quantity enormous. That it was served on a garbage can lid was a real plus.

A little Polysorbate 60 would do you people good. It might offset some of the physical and mental effects of eating from those pathogen-infested food trucks.

Then again, it might not. It may be too late.

Famous Dave’s is a reputable purveyor of adequate, yet not exciting, BBQ. And they use real beef, pork and chicken. Another positive change for those used to the random animal matter you call “street meat.”

Never eaten at Famous Daves, but i’m sure it’s healthier than cart food. Not that I care (i eat from carts twice a week), but it may be funny to find out exactly what ingredients they use at the Biryani, Bulgogi, or Halal carts. I’m sure MSG and liquid smoke wouldn’t look so bad after that!!

That special that comes on the Garbage Can Lid (Really!) that has samples of everything is a helluva lot of fun. So Pftttt to all the nay sayers

22 of their menu items contain MSG, nearly all their sauces are made with HFCS, This place might as well be the Crappy-Chinese-takeout of BBQ. the chicken wildrice soup contains: propylene glycol (antifreeze and aircraft deicer) and silicon dioxide (sand). This my friends, is a culinary masterpiece.

I had to break out the MSDS sheets just to figure out what some of this stuff is in the soup!
