That day, he didn't have any made up. So he pulled my meat while i waited. jtodd_fl When he measured it out he did so without sauce. Then once measured, squirted on a load of sauce. (jtodd doesn't know where to start)

But no, it's not a bid deal. It's just that my food logs are now off for like the last 8 months. I know, i know, it's not a huge deal. But damn it, if I'm going to take the time to log my food, i want that shit to be accurate.

Yeah, eating out though, tough to really know the portions are accurate.

Sauce is such a killer though. Mad carbs, right?

What's next? Asking if you should eat steak at Sizzler or Ruth's Chris?

Haha! So true! But then they throw in some options that seem valuable to me for free.

Do you want the Porsche Crest on the headrests? $350 fronts $500 full
Do you want red seat belts $500
Do you want key matched to car color $300

Then they throw in some cool options like extended gas tank for free!

I been to Yong He. Love it. When I go there I'd get breakfast from there when I can.

Now, enough of your first world problem. I just learned that i've been getting ripped off when i get my glorious BBQ pulled chicken. Ok, so not really ripped off, but definitely had the wool pulled over my eyes. I wasn't able to get by there on Monday night so i picked up two rotisseries and pulled my own meat. jtodd_fl

Lunch time rolls around at the office and i start measuring out 6oz for lunch. Except i keep putting chicken in the bowl and there is less and less room than normal. I dump it all out and make sure i zeroed the scale once the bowl was on and repeat. Same thing happens. So i stop at 5.5oz which looks like 1/3rd more meat than i usually put in the bowl. Then it hit me..... BBQ sauce.

I put on about 2/3s of the sauce they apply and the weight jumped up to 7.4 oz!! So for every POUND of chicken i've been buying, 5-6oz of it is made up of BBQ sauce!!

W.T.F.!?!?!? I thought this was 'Murica damn it!!

Pro Tip - When paying by weight, ALWAYS get the sauce on the side

Lots of sugar in BBQ sauce, so yeah. I had accounted for BBQ sauce calories & nutrients through volume, not weight. I just didn't realize it weighed so much. So i had been logging 6oz of chicken when i was only getting about 4 to 4.5oz.

Almost always, the chicken (and pork) is already pulled and mixed with sauce. They have a deal for sandwiches 2 for $5 or 5 for $10, etc... so they can just slap some sauced up meat on a large dinner roll and send you on your way... happy.

As it turns out, despite this devastation, i'll survive.....but just.

Sorry, computer glitched out hitting the "appreciate" button, but that's one of the few things I miss about Taiwan, especially since I was in the next district over in Zhonghe (中和區)

Yea - I really like it there. Those are the types of restaurants I enjoy eating at. Small, hole in the wall, focused on making good food and not too much else, haha

Come to Orange County and I'll buy you some DTF. Your wife can shop with all of the others at South Coast Plaza while we wait for the table.

FL BBQ joints don't pander to the suckers who look to the "Thrillist" to tell them what's good.

Driving from NYC to Montreal along I87 somewhere north of Lake Placid in a rental I wasn't authorized to drive at around 75. I clear a bit of rain-fog and this pregnant doe is scurrying across the road. I've seen them along the sides of roads but never broadside like that

You didn't hit her though, did you? I grew up in Michigan. That happened all the time. Fortunately, I never hit one. My wife lived more ... Ahem.. rurally so she hit a few.

991.2 GT3/GT2RS will be here mid/late next year as 2018 models.

EDIT: I don't mention price to say that you will save money, because if you are considering either of those two cars, then obviously money is not an issue LOL. But I do love how limited the M4 GTS is, and you could consider a 991.2 further down the road. It will have a 4.2L.

I am inviting Seinfeld to the OT today.

For me, 991 GT3 RS all day long
