between 1968 and maybe a decade ago, there was a bar next to the U of Utah called Big Ed's, and I think you know the place already: the beer is not very good.

@regehr LOL Well, this is what the ones here look like.

I've got a few stories about that place.

@regehr I worked in Chicago 20 years ago and there was this restaurant that served what they called the “breakfast energizer.” Very similar concoction. A bed of hashbrowns, onions, cheese, eggs on a big ass oval platter. It was massive. Decorated with a sprig of parsley and a referral to a cardiologist.

Similarly glorious. Also similar in how often one can/should eat it.

@regehr Looks like the price of a burger is about 10x more than when I was in high school.

Feel sorry for the kids these days.

[regehr@mastodon.social]

@gwozniak on the other hand, other day my wife and I were remarking about how much our kids (both in college) seem to go out to eat. it seems like it's definitely multiple times a week, whereas we ate out like, I don't know, once a month in college? cause we had no money at all

[gwozniak@discuss.systems]

@regehr Yeah, eating out was a treat when I was young (and well into university). I remember when I got stitches out my dad promising me we'd go to McDonald's if I didn't cry. I didn't cry. We didn't go to McDonald's. (I still didn't cry.)

But those drunk garbage food binges were a helluva a lot of fun.

@regehr OK, I've got leftover chili in the fridge! I might have to scrounge for the tater tots, but this sounds amazing.

[bhargavkk@mastodon.social]

@regehr just one fried egg? you have too much self control

[flippac@types.pl]

@regehr @gwozniak I remember grabbing a full-pounder with bacon and a fried egg and no veg from a van in Cambridge after a pub meet back in the 00s - I go easier these days (she says after an "all you can eat" full breakfast), but runny-enough yolk should be its own food group

[lenary@types.pl]

@regehr oh sure, it probably also causes fewer heart attacks.

[horenmar@mastodon.social]

@regehr Wait what,

> shallots instead of onions (too strong!! will not repeat)

I always use shallots when I want something oniony but weaker.

@regehr Reminds me of a regional delicacy known as the Garbage Plate:
