Food and Drink -- Do any of you still go to Long John Silvers? - Page 4

I went last week & thought about you all.

Chicken planks are really good if you haven't had them in 10+yrs. I also like Diet Pepsi to Diet Coke, these days.

Would you go and procure some and report back?

exactly, regarding Red Lobster, it's not slop - but it's far from sensational.

Never eaten there.. But I also prefer Diet Pepsi to Diet Coke -- especially for mixed drinks.

That's asking a lot of someone who just ingested the amount of food he did.

Costco actually sells acceptable lobster bisque. Only store I know of that you can actually buy it.

But for the good stuff, you've got to aim high. The best I ever had was at Ruth's Chris.

Well...shit. I am going to have to open my wallet. Stand back. I don't know what's in there.

Really? I didn't know that. I'll have to check that out. Thanks.

The best bisque I've ever had was at some seafood joint in Austin and some place in SF. Bristol's in Leawood is also very good. Mine gets better every time I make it, but I think that's mostly Courvoisier.

If it's more of a soup maybe I'll just try making it myself.

Try the Costco stuff first. You'll probably love it since you have nothing to compare it to.

Not unless they have clam chowder or lobster bisque, no, it will not.
