I'm not T cools but I just defer always to my latest favorites. 19 to present are all gold. 19 was the JV Martzoukas season (JV 4 lyfe). 20 was really good and it ended in a really funny way (I'll do a part 2 comment with the spoiler). Otherwise, 16 was good and honestly maybe favorite: 12. That was the one with Alan Davies, Victoria Corin-Mitchell, Desiree Burch, Guz Khan, and Morgana Robinson. So delightful. 11 was good too. 1/2
2/2 anyway the spoiler ending: it was a three way tie at the finale so everything came down to a tie breaker. During a team task earlier, one team was disqualified because Sanjeev opened a cupboard. If he hadn't done that it would have been a two way tie between Phil and Ania. Maisie wouldn't have gotten the extra points to be tied. Then she ended up winning. So basically, Sanjeev opening a cupboard was the reason Maisie won and not Phil. And it was hilarious. She was just like "wot?"
Ngl, I would eat the heck outta that. Its like tacos al pastor with spiced meats and a sweet fruit note. Which is a bridge cuisine as well of Mexicans and Turks/Lebanese immigrants in Ciudad de México
There's a dish that I often eat called strawberry chicken. It's basically breaded similarly to General Tso, but instead of larger chunks they're more thin strips. And just slathered in a sort of strawberry jam/syrup-with-chunks. Can look mildly terribly but tastes amazing.
This isn’t a Monte Cristo, it looks deep fried. It’s like calling a chimichanga a burrito - sure it’s a type of one, but completely distinct all the same
No, just like we don’t own the definition of burrito or anything else - I also denounce as heretical any restaurant that calls a sandwich made with French toast a Monte Cristo
I've never had a good one. I've had 3 piles of congealed frying oil. I long to find a place that understands the oil has to be as HOT AS PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE to fry up the batter before saturating the entirety of the sandwich.
Absolute banger of a sando. My first job in high school had these on the menu and this was my shift meal choice more than I’d care to admit xD A Mexican spot near me has one with chorizo as the special pretty often because the chef likes ‘em even more than I do. Served it up with spicy marionberry jam…
So hard to find a place that has them, now. I know of one single diner in Metro Atlanta where they can be found, and they're just OK. Gordon Biersch had them on their brunch menu years ago, but no longer. Weirdly, there have been some Bennigan's ghost kitchens popping up that I need to try.
Yep... I was watching this season of Taskmaster (he is on it with Armando Ianucci) and saw him, noting how much he looked like the dude in Silicon Valley...
I think it is cuz he got so big and that show seemed so much smaller than he is now.
Yeah, TBH I was really invested in the whole BOS storyline and was pretty disappointed in how it was basically dropped halfway through. I like the 2nd season but that and Norm storyline were a bit disappointing because I envisioned them going in a different direction that i think i would have liked better.
I was the opposite. I was not invested in the BOS at all and felt that overall this season's pacing was way too chopped up, bouncing from each plot line to the next every 30 seconds. So, kinda glad they steered away from it, at least for a few episodes.
He was in s2? Haven't seen it. I'm still in shell shock from watching Invincible but I don't remember him in season 1. Wait fuckin hold up, that's Prime right? That's what I'm borrowing while I cat sit. Gotta watch the Fallout
I'm partway through s2e1 right now and I weirdly feel like I've seen this episode before.... but I know for a fact that I've not seen the season. Idk if I've just seen clips or watched it drunk one time or something but this is so familiar...
Anyway my mission should I choose to accept it is binge all of season 2 in the next 48 hours
I didnt want Maximus to leave as soon as the shit hit the fan. Would have liked it better if he stuck around a bit longer and maybe took over his chapter before being ousted for another reason.
With Norm, I would have liked for him to learn more about what Bud's long term plans were, and after everyone up I wish he had stayed in more of a leadership role and had to struggle to keep them alive in this new world. Instead he almost immediately let that other guy take charge and was rather passive

Cranberry sauce on meat or baked camembert tastes pretty good. So why not strawberry jam.
Flopdong
Did he ever eat racial harmony? Was it any good?
Dannyalcatraz
I literally had a burrito last night with ground beef, jalapeños and raisins. I’ve also eaten ham crepes with a honey-based sauce.
I make ham with a glaze of butter, brown sugar, cherry preserves, and pineapple chunks.
Savory meats can be paired with sweet fruits quite well.

If they’re deep frying them, they’re doing it wrong
If they’re making a sandwich on French toast, they’re doing it wrong
There’s a place in Portland that does them the right way, by frying them on the grill after they’ve been sitting in the egg batter all night

I'm still of the opinion that 2 major changes would make the Fallout tv show better.
1, make it episodic anthology
2, 18 episode seasons
MantisTobagganMD
I wholly agree that the seasons need to be longer. As it stands they try to cram so much into 10 episodes, and it results in ridiculous pacing issues.
TheGriffin
Agreed. Everything is a rush to get to the end with no room for characters to stop and grow
