I celebrate fried onions in all their forms. Pickles too for that matter.

Yes, because you're not a psycho.

You know, before we get too old and before we lose anymore of our brothers and sisters, I think we should coordinate a massive cornhole where parking doesn't cost $20 and we can get onion loafs with a flag planted on it. A place where raisins atop our salads, where the beers are hoppy or sour but ice cold and wings are hot and aplenty. Perhaps we meet where a game of football is played or maybe we organize our own football game though I think that hurt when I run through you like Derrick Henry running through tissue paper. We can sing bad karaoke and play cornhole, we can disc golf or ball golf or feed ducks. Some many opportunities!

Who the hell puts raisins on a salad?

My favorite fried onions (from mustards in st Helena). With home made ketchup

I used to make them and use it on burgers and steak garnish.

Lack of visible grease. These look awesome.

which was a rib place with the best damn onion ring loaf of all time

JUST LOOK AT THIS

Looks terrible

Yea. That looks gross

Really? A fried to perfection onion with some delicious dipping sauces is gross to you? I'd eat the hell out of that.

Too much grease. That bottom layer looks particularly laden.

I didn't realize this forum was frequented by such culinary savants. I'd like to bathe in that bottom layer of grease that so offends your delicate palate, Henri Gault.

I have a love affair with BWW that runs back to the early 90's when one of the first locations was right off U of Cincy's campus. That was just one of our places. When I lived in northern Indiana (@urbanhack hi), there were times when I'd drive 45 minutes each way just to get carry out. That was how bad I needed it at times.

I realize quality has gone way down, and the removal of Buffalo chips from their menu is one of the most egregious decisions in restaurant history, but I still get it a every couple months. Have to get well done, or take them home and put them under the broiler for a bit.

BW3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>BWW

It's the same thing. I was talking about BW3s.

Where did you go? Ft. Wayne? There's now one in town.

Used to love Mustards. Haven't been there forever.

nice, pretty much like "onion straw" - just skinny wisps of real onion and just the right amount of crispy batter (not a ton)

like the ones you could get at those WW1 themed airport restaurants. 94th Aero Squadron at the Columbus, OH airport or a similar one in Canton.

Wow, that caused some memory flashbacks. It was 356th Fighter Group at the Canton Akron airport. Was actually a pretty nice restaurant back in the day. Was a popular pre-Homecoming dance dinner location that I took a date to several times.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

I pick THIS day to roll back in here? Two pages of discussing onion straws and the proper ratio of grease:veg? Spotlighting of Damon's abortion of an "onion loaf"? Not a single image of a Bloomin' Onion yet?

Don't ever change jimtan.

 

[5-ish Finkle]

Man, I haven't even thought of the words "Damon's: The Place For RibsTM" in over 20 years.

Takes me back to drunken sports trivia on the UCF campus with my old work buddy Jim and his frat bro "Matty" (no idea what his real first name is, cuz I think his last name was Matthews). They were fixtures. Team name, 8 character limit, every, single time: CKNBLLZZ. Then they would laugh like 8-year-olds, every, single, time. God, the waitstaff hated them.

I'm almost willing to bet they're both still living within 3 miles of the campus and are still doing this, somewhere, at least bi-weekly.

I have never paid for parking at a softball event. That's crazy. And you can't leave and come back? That's ridiculous

Agreed. Paying for parking for youth sports is insanity. Not being able to come and go would be a major problem for me. This isn't the Rose Bowl. Come on.....

I take that back. Parking at this particular event is free, but they are charging $20 to get in. I'm hoping that's per family, otherwise I'm gonna lose my sh*t.

Oof, $20/person, not including the player (they go in separately with the coaches). But yeah, at $20 a pop it sounds like my son will get to stay home and have gramma come over to make him lunch

Are the Beatles performing at halftime? WTF? Where do you live so I can never go there? This is asinine.

Honestly I was totally prepared to pay the $20 for parking and woulda lived with that. But $20/person? Yes, wild.

I'm in Orange County, CA.

Where was this ridiculousness?

Saturday's games were at 949 Volleyball Club down in San Juan. $20/adult. Fortunately my mom was able to watch my son most of the day, but he woulda been free if he were with us.

Yesterday's games were at Prime Volleyball Club in RSM. $10 parking, $20/adult... but they had a 1/2 off discount for "seniors" and the guy at the door musta thought I was a grampa cuz I got in for that rate.

don't be an AARP hater. that $16/year gets you a bunch of discounts and a subscription to a magazine meant to be read in the can. AARP boring fact: anyone of any age can join. It would be age discrimination for them to not allow it.

don't be an AARP hater. that $16/year gets you a bunch of discounts and a subscription to a magazine meant to be read in the can. AARP boring fact: anyone of any age can join. It would be age discrimination for them to not allow it.

Don't forget that sweet, sweet trunk organizer (not a euphemism.. I guess. I'm not a member, so I actually wouldn't know for sure. Maybe it is, and AARP is really just a front for the kink industry? all the other free stuff they give isn't "salad" related is it?)

It’s a POS from what I’ve heard

Just looked at the site. "As an AARP member, you can play over 40 members only games like Pong® and Breakout." Woo!

I have never paid for parking at a softball event. That's crazy. And you can't leave and come back? That's ridiculous

Agreed. Paying for parking for youth sports is insanity. Not being able to come and go would be a major problem for me. This isn't the Rose Bowl. Come on.....

I take that back. Parking at this particular event is free, but they are charging $20 to get in. I'm hoping that's per family, otherwise I'm gonna lose my sh*t.

Oof, $20/person, not including the player (they go in separately with the coaches). But yeah, at $20 a pop it sounds like my son will get to stay home and have gramma come over to make him lunch

Are the Beatles performing at halftime? WTF? Where do you live so I can never go there? This is asinine.

Honestly I was totally prepared to pay the $20 for parking and woulda lived with that. But $20/person? Yes, wild.

I'm in Orange County, CA.

Where was this ridiculousness?

Saturday's games were at 949 Volleyball Club down in San Juan. $20/adult. Fortunately my mom was able to watch my son most of the day, but he woulda been free if he were with us.

Yesterday's games were at Prime Volleyball Club in RSM. $10 parking, $20/adult... but they had a 1/2 off discount for "seniors" and the guy at the door musta thought I was a grampa cuz I got in for that rate.

You flashed your aarp card, didn’t ya?

Free stuff seems to show up kind of randomly. The main thing I've gotten out of it is hotel and car rental discounts.

I remember trying to hit the ball while moving my bat thingy up or down quickly thinking I was putting spin on it.
