Tuesday Lunch Thread

7:05 PM Start pits Masty McMasterson against Weaver the Younger in a battle of two red teams.

Here is your lunch topic: Salad Dressing. The waitress rattles off the list of your choices. Which one are you waiting to hear? Do you want a lot, a little, on the side maybe?

Do you have a little recipe for one you make in lieu of the store-bought type?

My Dressing

I bring my own. Apple cider vinager, a little olive oil, a pack of sweet n low and some pepper. Mix together before you leave the house. May not sound great, but its pretty good and good for you.

wow that sounds like a nice flavor mix
you're the person we make fun of in the back

…just so ya know. ;)

WTF???

And, you talking about me in “the back” makes a differance?? Son, I was in ’Nam eating shit we took out of rivers and drinking dirty water, and you think that thet me bringing my own salad dressing is something to make fun of?? You live in a small world boy, a world made up of cheap laughs and thrills. Some day you will also grow older and come to the realization that other peoples ways are just that, THEIR way, and you will LEARN to learn!!! Good luck son. “JUST SO YA KNOW…”

“The sweat off my balls paid for your freedom!!!” – quoted from one of my friends who is in the National Guard and he makes me laugh every time he says it.

Why Sweet - n - Low?
There is a better way...

Only because I am a Diabetic do I use sweet-n-low. The best replacement for the artificial stuff is brown sugar. It is very good with this substitute

Bob's Big Boy 1000 Island is the best

While we’re on this topic, can I just say that people who put Ranch dressing on pizza are disgusting? Seriously, is the cheese not enough? It’s like buttering bacon.

Nice job on the radio yesterday, Rev. I generally don’t like sports talk radio, but Biggsy puts on a good show and you complement it well.

Big Boy's BLUE CHEESE!!!!
Also awesome

I miss going to Bob’s. They replaced the only one in my vicinity with a stupid Carrow’s.

If you love Bob's Blue Cheese...

Track down a Chris & Pitts. Their Blue Cheese is the best.

The one in North Hollywood closed years ago
There's still a Chris & Pitts in Santa Ana though it went way down hill

nothing like it used to be

I think there's one on Lakewood in Bellflower or Downey
in Downey, corner of Lakewood and Gallatin across the street from McD's
My wife used to dip her french fries...

…in Bob’s Blue cheese dressing. Disgusting.

I about blew cheese just watching…

in Seattle, I learned to dip fries in Ivar's tartar sauce...yummmmm
What? That sounds amazing...pretty sure I've done that before, just not with Bob's Big Boy Blue
My brother in law mixes ranch and hot sauce and dips his pizza in it

pretty nasty

Barf

Hot sauce, OK. Ranch, no.

blue cheese on the side
at the bobby flay steak house in AC

they had this chipotle vingerette that was amazing. i would go with that.

El Torito's Mexican Caesar Dressing

Also any Bernstein’s bottled dressing.

Oh, Mrs. red floyd makes a nice asian dressing too...

Soy Sauce, Rice Vinegar, Garlic, and a little oil (either peanut or olive, whatever she has in the house).

Have her try sesame oil if she doesn't. I could take shots of that stuff...
Brain fart.

That’s what I meant — sesame oil,not peanut.

I've bought their mexican caesar at the grocery store before...good stuff.
their cilantro & pepita salad dressing is really good. I use it to make fish tacos...tastes just like Rubios
Before the waitress rattles off any dressings, I ask if they do a caesar salad. If yes, gimme...if no, gimme soup or nothing.

At home, however, I’ll go with whatever…just no ranch.

I usually roll with Italian dressing.

Don’t eat salad often though. I usually have the soup

I'm partial to 1000 island on my burger, not so much on salad.

It terms of salad, it begins and ends with Ranch. The stuff made fresh from the packet, not the crap in the bottle. No matter how much they try, the bottled version doesn’t taste quite the same (i think it’s because of the preservatives)

Try the iceberg wedge at Lazy Dog Cafe’ Yum! (stomach growling)

Other condiments of honorable mention:

Best 1000 island – Jerry’s Famous Deli
Best tartar sauce- Crab Cooker

Soup or Salad?

yes please :D

Super Salad?
Side salad..........
Ohhhhhhhhh Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
vinegar and oil
I have become partial

to Chipotle Ranch. I’m no conossieur, so I don’t really have a particular brand, but I like Ranch dressing with a little bit of kick, so that stuff suits nicely.

If that’s not available, give me balsamic vinaigrette.

Used to be Bleu Cheese

but now it’s a Balsamic Vinaigrette on the side… trying to watch those calories so I can become “Da not quite as Big Kahuna”

easy

a light, but well-mixed balsamic vinaigrette. not so much that there is extra dressing when finished, but to that perfect point where in your last bite, you’re scraping the plate for just a little more.

It all depends

on a variety of factors: the contents of the salad, whether it’s a side salad, where I’m having said salad.

Good blue cheese is hard to beat, especially for a steakhouse salad.

A classic, genuine Caesar is always nice.

An Italian vinaigrette (including but not limited to Balsamic vinegar) when it’s served with Italian food. Actually, an Italian dressing (Ken’s Steakhouse Italian with Aged Romano, to be precise) is the standard dressing in our household.

Variations on 1000 Island (including Bob’s and Bahooka dressing) can hit the spot every once in a while.

My favorite dressing to make, though, is a classic French consisting of Olive Oil, wine vinegar (red, white or Champgane), Dijon mustard and salt & fresh ground pepper. Maybe a little fresh tarragon.

Ken's stuff in general is good
Salad Bar dressing...

is awful. go with the buttermilk ranch.

most restaurants have a decent blue cheese.

Olive Garden has an awesome Italian.

If you don’t like Ranch with your Pizza, where do you stand on your Buffalo Wings!?!

Personally, I love eating my pepperoni and green pepper pizza with buffalo wings and blue cheese. And I’ll dip my pizza in the left over combo of blue cheese and wing sauce. If that makes me a bad person, I don’t want to be good.

Blue cheese for buffalo wings
yeah...

actually I only use ranch when Blue Cheese isn’t available. The snack was intended to be eaten with blue cheese. I used to work at a pizza place, I made the best wings.

"wing stop" ranch dressing

i know its for wings but its still awesome

The best blue cheese

I ever tasted was from Cris & Pitts. Remember those restaurants. I would just go for that blue cheese dressing. And maybe some ribs. Their meat was tasty but chewy. I think there is one in Anaheim home of the Angelitos.

Anaheim, Whitier, Bellflower

Are the ones I’ve seen.

Chris&Pitts BBQ sauce is the best I've been able to find in a store.

There’s a hole-in-the-wall place on Ventura Blvd in Woodland Hills (called “My Brother’s BBQ”), that has a better sauce and killer beans, but they don’t put their sauce in stores.

can't eat lettuce anymore but

Ranch, any vinaigrette, homemade blue cheese with homemade wings or just olive oil and vinegar.

spinach salad with poppy seed dressing is really good too

Frank's Red Hot

awwwwwwwwww yeah

so..

i read in the tidbit the other day that Ortega got sent down cause they were skipping his start and letting WTY pitch today..

so i checked the active roster and see that big Bobby Wilson is on it.. Looks like Naps DH job is safe till Vlad gets back now..

bout time Soth did that......

he was playing with fire for a while there.

Blue Cheese

tastes like I imagine dirty feet would taste like. PU

So you would say

Blue cheese dressing = toe jam?

My wife's recipe

Balsamic vinegar and olive oil. The combination is magic. I love blue cheese, but it’s like 7000 calories per dose.

Ranch... and lots of it.
blue cheese of italian

both mixed together

These are the ones

Any of them. This is the good stuff from the Angelo Pietro Restaurants.

you gotta go Bleu!
Youre my boy, blue!
Not big on salads

Not big on dressing either. However, I do like that buttermilk dressing from Jack In The Box. Goes bomb with the fries!!

By the way, I’m with some of you on the whole dressing on pizza thing. My brother did some sick shit back in the day. He used to pound the pizza with ketchup. Nasty!!

Mexico

In Mexico (certain parts, anyway), ketchup is commonly used on pizza as a condiment. Even places like Pizza Hut serve it with the pizza, catering to local tastes.

in Japan, pizza toppings are corn and mayonnaise

sorry if I made you puke….I know I did mentally myself when I heard that one

That is so not luminous
In an unknown restaurant I'll go French

for the variety, because French dressing can mean 7 different things. My favorite of all time was a Spanish dressing made at a restaurant (Captain’s ……..) in the Oxnard marina, some 35 years ago.
