Re: So Chilis made a pony OC as an ad campaign.

IME you really do need the burritos double wrapped at Chipotle

Any time I've gotten a single-wrap, shit always breaks and falls apart on me no matter how I eat it

Re: So Chilis made a pony OC as an ad campaign.

the extra carbs though ugh

but having that occasional double-wrap is so satisfying

no, it really isn't. not sure what to tell you other than that you're unlucky or have ridiculous standards.

It's 95% true. The quality of food of most restaurant chains just isn't that great. For ten dollars more a plate you can go to a 4 star restaurant and treat yourself rather than cheat yourself. Or make something at home that's way healthier and tastier.

Re: So Chilis made a pony OC as an ad campaign.

you say the quality isn't that great, but i've only had an issue with the food i order on very rare occasions.

there is two issues with just going to a 4 star restaurant instead of a chain. the first is that where i live, those aren't exactly in large abundance. the second is the price which really adds up when chains have been perfectly satisfactory for me.

sure, i could make food myself, but i don't have the inclination to cook it for myself when i have to spend time at the supermarket to shop for ingredients and spend the time actually cooking it when somebody a lot more proficient than myself can just do it for me.

tl;dr most of this argument is subjective anyways so it's fruitless for either of us

nice generalizations

Re: So Chilis made a pony OC as an ad campaign.

Most people honestly can't tell the difference. If I give you, say, 10 burgers or whatever (or better yet, 10 glasses of wine) -- where the "worst" one comes from the local cheap joint around the corner and one comes from a fancy 5-star restaurant -- most people will have a hard time telling them apart, and it has nothing to do with an untrained palate or whatever in many cases.

As the saying goes, do you want your money to go into the food or the tablecloth? Obviously it's not a hard-set one-to-one function, but past a certain point, you're going to start rating things in a way that doesn't necessarily correlate too well to the price.

Edit: What I'm saying isn't hypothetical, either -- lots of studies/experiments confirm stuff like this.

That's why we have food critiquing to aid in the elimination of the subjectivity, and why restaurants are classified the way they are. Just because you're satisfied with chili's, doesn't mean your palate is "refined" enough to counter my claim. My standards aren't too high, I just consider most other places to be convenient inadequate poison for those who can't afford to upgrade, which is completely understandable, or those who lack the motivation to learn how to make healthier and better food themselves.

Re: So Chilis made a pony OC as an ad campaign.

what makes somebody that professionally critiques food's opinion any more objective than mine? just because they know more than me? no matter how knowledgeable somebody is, people are still going to disagree. that's why taste is going to always be subjective.

if you are referring to the nutritional value of food, sure, that can be measured objectively, but i don't see how you could possibly make an objective argument about how something tastes.

my point is is that i don't really care about how food is prepared, i just care about how it tastes and if it tastes good i'll eat it.

EDIT: i'm probably really unhealthy, but #yoloswag etc.

Nope. I'm actually on a tight budget right now. I find ways to excite my palate regardless, because food happens to be my ultimate pleasure.
