Open face sandwiches where the bread is really hard to cut are super annoying.

Shouldn't even be called a sandwich!

Eggs on toast or avo toast are at every cafe here, and it’s always on sourdough where the crust is cement like. At least some places give you a serrated knife, but even then, it can be a battle.

just opened a little bag of Lays to go with some beer and this giant brown ball of lard/seasoning was in there

still eating the chips

and the ball?

threw it out

Everyone knows cold fried chicken reigns supreme. But what about cold grilled chicken?

What? It's fine, but it's definitely better hot and fresh.

Or do you mean it beats out pizza etc. as the best cold leftovers?

The best fries I ever had were from a restaurant that would slice them thick then freeze them, then double fry them to order: Once for several minutes at like 350-375, then again for 1-2 minutes at like 450. They had the best texture of any fry I’ve ever eaten, super crispy on the outside but light and fluffy inside.

i am def an ignoramus when it comes to oil temp

just try to not burn the thing nor cause a fire

so i err on the side of low heat these days

There are tons of variations on fries, certainly had some great and not-so-good ones, I'd say fries are definitely the fried food I miss most.
