Cooking and Dining

[NTP66]

My family, on both sides, is German and I ate a lot of that food growing up. I can't recall ever having a hankering for German cuisine, let alone considered going to a German restaurant.

It has been a year since we’ve had it, and I love their food. We’re both ready. Gimme dat pork tenderloin dusseldorf, red cabbage and spaetzle!

I’d almost believe that restaurants requested the change, but literally every single one over 3 miles away? Nah, that’s a DD issue. Hope they get it fixed, and soon.

Has the app updated recently? The only thing I can suggest is that you re-check your address information and verify if you're using a VPN. I've heard some of the apps don't use the default delivery address, but rather the GPS coordinates of the device to serve up options (presuming that the delivery will ultimately be to the place where the phone/tablet is located regardless of default info). Other than that, I got nothing.

It has updated recently, and I’ve re-entered my address to no avail. The fact that the website is having the same issue points to it being on their end.

I was pretty solid on the driver demand thing being the cause, but if it's still happening this morning.......... was there like a DD driver strike in the Philly area?

[NTP66]

I live in the suburbs, but I doubt that’s it.

[tifosi77]

I think that would actually make it more likely that there was a driver shortage, but not at 10 am on a Saturday. lol

[NTP66]

My DashPass expires in a few months, I think. If these restaurants are now off my list, I’ll dump DD and just use their own delivery services instead.

[tifosi77]

You would be better off doing that, anyway. Or at least the restaurant and delivery drivers would be.

You jinxed me, Tony. I didn’t like anything from dinner tonight. First bad meal at this restaurant ever.

Is Cuisinart still the gold standard for food processors? After my brother got one for Christmas from our parents years ago, I asked for one for my birthday...and got a mediocre Oster food processor. It's now 7-8 years old, and pretty awful. Like I couldn't shop spinach in it without forcing it onto the blade.

I don't need a $400 unit, just something that I'll use 2-3x a month to chop spinach, make pizza dough, and hummus.

[MrKennethTKangaroo]

while we are talking food processors, how about something that isn't huge and cumbersome

[DigitalGypsy66]

I have a small (2 cup?) Cuisinart Mini-prep plus that's perfect for garlic cloves, an onion, or other small amounts. It's not cumbersome at all, obviously. I've had it for years, too. Just now starting to get that graphitey burning smell when I use it a lot - brushings are likely going.

Food processors are great, except when it comes time to clean them. I'd use it all the time if it wasn't so many parts and weird nooks and crannies to wash.

Get yourself a garlic press, IMO.

[DigitalGypsy66]

Oh, I have one of those already. Meh.

[tifosi77]

I want to get one of those multi-tools where the same motorized wand handle thing is used interchangeably with various bottom attachments, like an immersion blender, a mini-prep processor, a whisk, etc. At some point during our last move I lost the blade from our food proc, and I've been lazy in replacing it.

[tifosi77]

Also, garlic presses are awful and useless implements that should be thrown in the same scrap bin as 'egg slicers' and 'bear claws' and basters.

I have bear claws. They get the most use when I walk around the house pretending to be Wolverine.

This.

My Jack Stack BBQ sampler was just shipped, so I’m a happy guy right now.

Ever since @OutofFoil turned me onto the stand mixer pork shredding technique I pitched my bear claws. They did come in handy to move huge chunks of meat around the BBQ pit though.

Bought a Weber charcoal smoker, used. Really want to learn how to smoke/slow cook meats.

I suggest this book:

That book is incredible. X2. I worship at Meatheads altar

Perfect, added to cart. Thanks guys!
