/ck/ - Food & Cooking

its the best we got that's affordable and tasty

>>16215591
Amerisharts sucking at food? I aren't think that

>>16215591
Country folk got fresh ingredients and since it's a long drive to anywhere good people tend to know how to cook simple things well.

Urban Centers can support a plethora of restaurants and competition is fierce.

In Suburbs what matters is access to parking space.

I live in Europe and to be honest suburbs sound fucking amazing. am I just an autist?

>>16215964
Europe has suburbs, anon

>>16215591
Urban areas have the same chains as the suburbs, you just don’t notice because there’s also so many local/independent restaurants, both new and long-established. These places can also charge significantly more than chains, as they’re nicer and the local customers have the income to buy it.
Rural areas tend to have more mom/pop places (if anything) because actual country areas simply don’t have the population density for it to be worth someone investing in a franchise.
The suburbs have the perfect mix of population density and mid-level income for chains to thrive.

Simple observation or the slightest bit of consumer/economic understanding should have told you this, but I digress. Welcome to the city, Cleetus.

When I think of classic Italian cooking I think Veal Parmigiana sandwiches with french fries old school Italian food from the homeland

>>16215620
Every rural food producing area except for a few places I've been in Vermont and central va has had the worst trailer trash cuisine I've ever seen. Country bumkins can't cook for shit, its even worse than the city.

That is indeed how it works. Are you having Arby’s or KFC for dinner tonight?

>>16216985
Authentic!

>>16217968
you realize that rural areas have much nicer restaurants than big cities, right? You can get pretty much anything you want in half an hour on the interstate

>>16217968
I'm having pumpkin soup with pumpkins from my garden because I live on an acre and grow my own veg.

>>16217968

There’s nothing nice in the city.

>>16218036
okay flyover

>>16218015
Atrocious bait, enjoy your Applebee’s

>>16218043
nearest applebees is 40 minutes away. Instead I can go to the dozens of locally owned restaurants, diners, and pubs in the 10 miles radius of my house. Meanwhile you think you are cultured because some guy from zizykistan made his shithole country's signature dish in a 100 square foot restauraunt he rents for $5000 a month while rats roam the street outside his doors

>>16218068
>locally owned restaurants, diners, and pubs
Just because the restaurant manager is from your town doesn’t mean the Waffle House is “locally owned”

>>16218030
>harvesting pumpkins in June
Where the fuck do you live?

>>16218036

KYS, the urban centre subsidises your shitty failed suburban life. Functioning town/city or full on farm are the only acceptable states of living.

>>16218036
I’ve lived in rural Appalachia and two big East Coast cities. Having experienced both lifestyles, I can say that this is 100% false. Growing up in the woods was cool in some ways, but it would’ve been cooler to have had more than two restaurants, some museums, a paved road and kids my age that lived within walking distance of my house. Country life still beats suburban living by a mile though.

>>16215591
Because Suburbanites are shit at most everything except whatever cubicle job they trained for. Country folk learn how to cook, Urban areas import brown people who can cook, and Suburbia is what happens when you leave deracinated while folk to their own devices.

Suburbia should be burned to the ground.

>>16215620
>Urban Centers can support a plethora of restaurants and competition is fierce.
basically if a new restaurant is shit it dies within a month in a city
nobody has the time, money, stomach for shitty food in the city
it has to be fucking good or its gone

>>16218107
Australia. But I picked my pumpkins a month ago and had them curing on my verandah, you don't eat them straight away.

>>16215591
I don't get it. Why would you willingly choose to increase your chances of getting mugged, raped, murdered, what have you?

>>16215591
>grew up in the country
>people there have good taste
No, they really don't. I split my time growing up between the city with my parents and the country with my grandparents. The restaurants in "the country" were truly some of the worst possible. I have fond memories of them because it was time spent with my grandparents, but that doesn't change the fact that the restaurants were objectively horrible.

There are still a couple of those places around, and the only reason they survive is all the elderly people who have always gone to them.

Anyway, as far as suburban restaurants, quality varies but they can be excellent.

>>16218068
Arkansasfag here.. go eat a dick, you fucking red lipped baboon. You actually think your local food from your rural shithole is any good? No, its shit, but the lead paint fed brain of yours doesn't know any better like I used to be. Admit you're a fucking little cock sucking fairy and stop pretending your little cum guzzling shithole of a town has anything food besides a friendly attitude.

That’s right, if you ever step foot in any city you will immediately be robbed, gang raped and killed by a pack of feral brown people. The only safe option is to never leave your cul-de-sac except to occasionally pick up dinner from the Olive Garden next to the strip mall where you get your hair cut.

>>16219455

>It's a rednecks and city-cucks attempt to insult elite suburbanites, when they don't even realize that the reason we live half way between them is to exploit their resources and proximity without having to live near them

Say whatever you guys want, we know the truth, and we know that we live in opulence and wealth; meanwhile you fags are either begging a dindu not to mug you or you're having to fight off a coyote from eating your tomatoes using nothing more than a pitchfork. We don't care about you, or your gay problems and opinions.

>>16220144
>we know that we live in opulence and wealth
Do suburbanites actually believe this?

This is such an insane and retarded generalization. What state do you live in? Jesus.
>t. live in asian suburbs near objectively some of the best asian restaurants in the US

Because people in the suburbs usually commute to another town or city for work, so that's where they eat. They're also used to the drive and pass by local restaurants without ever noticing them. I took note of the buildings I passed by the other week and there was a lot of restaurants I never noticed

>>16216001
At Tone, just like my muddah use to make

I grew up in rural bumfuckistan and quite literally everyone is poor.

i recently moved from the city to the burbs, and anyone saying rural is better or cities are overrated is simply coping. food fucking sucks here, but its a trade you gladly make for less minorities, homeless, seedy business, etc.

>>16220429
Dave Chappelle lives on a farm in Ohio, and he's rich as fuck. He just hops on a plane whenever he feels like going to NYC, LA, Vegas, Chicago, and he gets the privacy of owning plenty of land and not having randos constantly showing up around him.

>>16215591
When I drove through Chicagoland it was like an AI generated "people space." Subdivisions of houses, and big box stores with chain fast food, fast casual, and chain sitdown. It was depressing.

>>16220308
Is chicken parm better than meatball parm? All signs point to yes. The real battle is chicken parm vs. veal parm sandwich.

>>16220514
>Dave Chappelle
>he's rich as fuck
Most people that live in rural Ohio are poor as dirt and just cope like you idiots about how great it is living in bumfuck nowhere.

>>16217968
Ah, yes. How could I forget such urban culinary masterpieces like “designated shitting streets.”

>>16218873
off topic but pianeet can

>>16220091
But your steak having a $120 price tag does? Kek cityfags are delusional copeoids.

>city living

I don't get the suburb hate in this thread, isn't it clearly the best of all worlds? you can travel much more easily to either the city or rural areas, compared to city dwellers that can't have space for a car, or people living in bumfuck nowhere.

>>16220578
Imo this here >>16215620 looks like the worst of both worlds. You have an entirely built-up area without any semblance of nature (even less than many actual cities lel), but you don't get any of the infrastructure that cities have to offer. There's just housing and nothing else.

>>16220578
I think it's more hate on urban sprawl which is depressing. Out of this urban, suburban, rural thing forgets small town. 30 minutes from downtown metropolitan, but neighbors are a quarter mile away or at least your lot isn't the size of a postage stamp. I butt up next to a cornfield, and it's a 2 minute drive to several local stores/bars/restaurants. Peak comfy.

>>16217968
I'm cooking my own meal tonight, just like every night. This is a cooking board, after all. You do cook and don't just eat at restaurants every night...right?

>>16220612
>>16220620
ah I wasn't aware of how bad urban sprawl was in some parts of the states. I live a half hour from the big city and it's quite comfy.

>>16220541
That's freedom, my brother. Existing social norms imposed on you by the ruling class must be destroyed. The fact that you are not allowed to shit in the street today is because of (((them))). Free yourself from it.

i love chicken parm. don't care if its inauthentic.

Grew up in abject poverty because my parents like their neighbors were idiots and made poor decisions in life and were all around just bad with money.

Country folk dont go on hiking trips.
They dont go skiing.
They go to the welfare office for hand outs and smoke meth you yuppie retard.

>>16220780
Oh I see, you’re white trash who grew up around meth heads and trailer parks so you think that everyone in the country is as poor as you. That’s pretty hilarious.

Yeah, aside from the prohibitive cost of eating out every night I like to make certain dishes that are hard to come by. It’s still nice to have the option to get quality food on the weekends though.

>>16217968
>cashino
Can you explain to me what I'm looking at

>>16220789
whatever you say, yuppie

>>16218179
From rural-ish VA here. Most people on this board probably think of "rural" as a small down or a city not named NYC or LA or Chicago. When they talk about "rural" I don't think they are thinking of what you and I would consider rural, which would be "middle of a bunch of farmland with no interstate unless you drive 45 minutes to get to one and the town only has 1 stoplight and a gas station you've never heard the name of before"

>>16220541
I’ve lived in boston for 5 years now and I’ve never seen someone shitting on the street, however I did get drunk and pee on someone’s car when I was visiting some friends in the burbs

>>16216962
Central VA has some top tier food and its not that hard to find. Lot of fresh local stuff too.

>>16220841
Baltimore it happens but its illegal. West coast its somehow legit legal in some places to shit on the street. San Fran even I believe.

>>16220831
Most suburban restaurants are wedged in between random businesses at strip malls like that pic. These businesses are usually pretty geoss/sketchy because the commercial space is crazy cheap. That “cashino” looks like a check cashing business, which lets customers without a bank account cash their checks. Other businesses that are often found next to suburban restaurants include nail salons, karate dojos, dentist offices and happy ending massage parlors.

>>16218460
You are only lying to yourself, cityfag

>>16216962
>food producing area
Try a restaurant next time

>>16220840
Yeah I’m from the Shenandoah area of Virginia and the closest business to my house was a general store/gas station/restaurant that was a 20 minute drive from my house. I grew up on a gravel road and my driveway was about half a mile long. So many people think I’m talking about a small town or a trailer park when I say “rural”.

>>16216962

Most food sucks in suburban areas, with a few hidden gems here and there. There is like 3 really good restaurants where i live, two are asian.

>>16220578
Suburbs in competent countries? Sure.
Suburbs in America built before the 1960's? Depends on whether they're desirable $1.5m gentrified homes or $5000 crackshacks in the ghetto.
Modern American suburbs? Absolute garbage.

Thanks to ubiquitous zoning, traffic, and minimum lot/building size laws in nearly every state, it's just flat-out illegal in most of the country for any new housing to be anything besides single-family vinyl villages such as >>16215620
These neighborhoods are, unfailingly, unsafe (because of relatively high speed and abundant traffic, no traffic calming whatsoever), unwalkable (no pedestrian paths or right of ways), underserved (businesses/restaurants are not legally allowed to build inside or on the edges of them), insolvent (legally required to be on city/municipal water/sewage, which their distance/density makes more expensive for the local government to maintain than the taxes in the home will produce in its lifetime), shitty places to live that lose easily 70% of their value after they start to fall to pieces 25-30 years after they're built, financially devastating their owners and local government.
It is, legitimately, almost impossible to overstate how many disastrous system-wide issues in the U.S. stem from modern-day suburban planning.

Basically the only way to have a half-decent quality of life in Suburban America is to luck out and buy some elderly couple's post-WWII pre-single-family-zoning home that they've mistakenly listed for 50k.

Most suburbs don't look like this >>16215620
Where I grew up all of the houses were different and there were shitloads of trees.
>>16221083
And it was built well after 1960.

Every time I come to one of these threads it's filled to the brim with dirt poor flyovers who have only ever seen a city on tv coping so hard trying to make themselves believe living in the middle of nowhere is somehow better than living in a city.
It's okay that cities are better and if you had made better choices in high school and went to college for a degree that would get you a high paying job you wouldn't have to cope so much.
I make $130k a year, not including bonuses.
I work remote as well, even before the pandemic, so I could move to some flyover shithole in a heartbeat if I wanted, but I don't, because rural America truly sucks. I grew up in a town of <2000 people. It's sucks.
So stop trying to cope, your rural life sucks and you should start accepting that so you can make positive changes in your life.

>>16221095
Oh, by the way ruralpoors, I pay half the rent, I split with my wife, so it's $525 a month. 3 bedroom, 1200sqft. So come sneed at my "extremely high rent"

Yes. It is only marginally better than chain food. Just because it’s was prepared with meme molecular gastronomy and plated by a master artist from Venice doesn’t make the end product any different.

Not that anon, but rural america is basically poors who subsist on government handouts (which are available to them because of people earning money in cities) so basically rural america couldn't exist without cities supporting them.
I grew up in a town of <2000 people, almost all the students at school were on free or reduced lunch because their families were too poor.
Most kids never leave this town, or if they do they move to other, equally shitty rural towns.
Drug and alcohol abuse are rampant and there's nothing redeeming about small town america.

>>16221172
That sucks that you have to live in florida, sorry about that.

>>16221176
Yeah I don't know about what the other guy was talking about Rural towns having a huge selection of food.

I grew up on the edge of civilization. Everything past me was fucking corn, diabetes, cows, and alcoholism. Country diners are good and very cheap, but it's all americana stuff. Nothing too strange or fancy.

>>16221180
I’m living rent free in your head so it’s not too bad.

>>16221231

>>16221231
Nah, not really. I just come to these threads to laugh at fags trying to cope about their shitty lives in rural america

>>16221215
Yeah, same experience. Everything was americana stuff, all basically identical, just at different places. Not really a huge selection. There was also bar food.
I don't understand how people can consider this a big selection, or how it can be considered that great of food. It's american sloppa, nothing more, nothing less.
The town went wild over a new "mexican" restaurant that serves shitty american mexican sloppa, but since it was such a new experience for the town inhabitants they treat it like some fine dining spot. Kinda sad really

ahhhhhhhhhh living in a safe community with minimal minorities is LITERALLY hell. You can't even get (insert hipster ethnic food meme) here ahhhh I'm going insane

It's not a hidden secret. You can drive through any rural town in america. It's all the same. All the same poverty.
Nice coping though.
>>16221325
cope

Not all rural/smaller towns are the same. I live in an area with maybe 25k people and there’s a wide selection of places to eat and drink—mostly local places but with a sprinkle of some corporate shit.

There’s a lot in between a micro-town of 1k people and sprawling city. I get the benefits of a walkable environment, plenty of dining options, virtually no crime with a sense of community.

>>16221376
Seems pretty suburban to me, anon

>>16221353
I'd rather be poor and live in a rural area than live in a city that actively tries to make me poor. Fortunately, I live in a rural area and I'm not poor. Cities can immolate themselves as far as I'm concerned. Oh wait, they're already in the process.

>>16221353

>>16221353

>>16221401
Most of the poverty in rural areas comes from the policies enacted by people living in population centers. Where I live used to have a much higher average income than it does now, but you faggots shut down logging. Since then, the economy has suffered and timber comes in from out of the country at higher prices. Overzealous fire suppression has resulted in massive fuel loads in public lands. Without forestry work going on, there is no way to clear that fuel or build access roads. The death of the logging industry is the reason why fires are so bad. It's also having a negative impact on local wildlife, because tree fuckers just let everything burn.

>>16221413
>we grow your food
actually, most flyover farmers could straight up die and the only impact would be a decrease in sending soy and corn animal feed to china. nice cope though

that certainly isn't an american city

>>16223143
That has nothing to do with whether or not an area is unincorporated. There are tons of barely populated villages that are incorporated municipalities and plenty of unincorporated areas with dense populations.

>>16223371
That’s in Washington DC, look at the plates

>>16223995
Makes sense, considering the whole point of the McMansion was to trick middle class people into thinking they’re wealthy

in the suburbs the soul truly struggles, but in the city the soul truly dies. I don't know how anyone could wish to live in one of these hellholes.

>>16220466
I like living in the suburbs. I get the choice to either fuck off in the mountains or in the city whenever I want since I'm in between. Rent is okay and I don't mind commuting to eat something worthwhile.
One of my favorite places is almost 30 min away and that kinda keeps it special and not overplayed. I cook at home most nights because I have complete control over how much my food costs and what it tastes like. So having restaurants within walking distance would mean jack shit to me anyways.

>>16220112
You also pay 5k a month for a 1 bed half bath studio apartment

>>16225202
I pay $1600/month in rent which isn’t bad considering I live downtown and make literally 3 times as much money as I would if I didn’t work in the city

>>16224060
That’s fair, it’s all about personal preferences

The absolute cope dilapidated cityniggers

I hate Americans so fucking much.
Try living in a real country, where living in the "rural countryside" means you're about half an hour away from a city.

>>16220144
Anon that house looks fucking horrible
Why do you guys have such a total lack of taste

>>16226129
Arguing that every non-chain restaurant is overpriced and low quality is the very definition of cope my dude

>>16220144
>we know that we live in opulence and wealth
So this is what it’s like to go through life with absolutely no frame of reference

>>16226138
honestly confused, is half an hour supposed to be close or far?

>>16225512
Reminds me of this

https://youtu.be/m4AgBZBvbc4

>>16226173
Close. Americans talk about living in the countryside as if it's supposed to be a huge different world compared to living in a city or something. In reality you can just do the same shit wherever you live, it's just that the countryside is obviously expensive as fuck to live in.

>>16226189
I guess you must live in a fairly small (geographically) country. It's not just the US that has rural communities very far from the nearest city. I haven't lived anywhere where the city population didn't have very different culture from the rural one though, so I don't really get what you're saying.

>>16226151
Show me where I said that. I’d like you to show me the post where I said the words “overpriced” and “low quality.” I’ll wait.

>>16226381
>Show me where I said that
>>16221147

>>16218460
That's just retarded. There are tons of absolutely shit restaurants that thrive in the city because of how many dumb niggers live there with no taste.

I feel bad for people who don't live in the city. Imagine having to drive to go to the grocery store lmao. I live in a nice European city and I take a 5 min walk every day to the grocery store to get ingredients only for the day. So I'll buy one onion, one bell pepper, etc.

>>16226389
Ah, yes. I very clearly see the words “overpriced” and “low quality.” Truly, I have been bested.

Dumb nigger.

>>16226258
Yes, I do, and yes, you're right, but /ck/ is extremely Amerocentric.

>>16226710
Not him but you clearly called it overpriced. Which is weird, because no, you don't pay $120 for a steak lmfao wtf. A fancy restaurant has £20-30 for a main meal and maybe £13-30 for a starter. A normal restaurant in a city costs the same as a normal restaurant anywhere -- about £15.

>>16226437
It's the best. Americans will never understand. They think cities are all ugly too. Can you imagine? Poor, idiotic retards.

>>16226741
ruralpoors have to pretend like cityfags are spending $20,000 a month to survive in a city so that they don't feel so bad about being too poor to actually live in a city.
Look at the replies of ruralpoors, it's blatently obvious that they've never even been to a city.
Quite sad

>>16226751
Chicago Prime sells steaks for $100+. Stop coping and start dilating.

>>16226910
You posted a chain restaurant that rarely even exists in actual cities, you complete dumbass.
keep coping about your ruralpoor pathetic life

Suburbia is an inauthentic cultural wasteland in every way, the worst of city and the worst of country combined.

>>16220144

The suburbs are so dreamlike its literally surreal

>>16226170
>my dad owns a landscaping company

Small town chad reporting in. I live within walking distance of the Main Street with unique and good quality restaurants. I can also do all the fun shit country folk get to do with very little driving involved.

>>16215591
Looks good. Chris B.? Bet the B. stands for BASED.
>b-but it's not the authentic shitalian slop my nonna makes!
No, it's something better. That's what the suburbs excel at: inexpensive quality food that's unpretentious and filling. As if you're somehow "above" that, you /ck/-using dilettante.

>>16228387
Small towns are pretty based. Get to see deer 'n shit while driving 6 miles to work in 10 minutes.

Because it feels homemade

If you're rich;
>Live in the city, in a modern home-sized apartment in the very heart of it, only ever leaving your apartment to step into a nice car you can afford parking for, and getting out of said car at your destination, barely having to ever set foot on the dirty public streets
>live in an actual unironic mansion on at the very least a dozen acres of pristine wooded land and serene tranquility
Hell, depending on how rich, you switch between both as you wish.

If you're poor;
>live in an inner city ghetto where the schools your kids go to is actually some remodelled old prison, the gangs shoot each other up on a nightly basis, and you work in some menial dead-end bullshit like janitor or retail
>live in the sticks, old coal mining town losing thousands of people per year, everyone's on unemployment and addicted to meth

If you're well-enough-to-do
>live a nicer, but not nicest, part of town with low crime rates and decent housing, square footage is lower but not everyone needs an endless amount of floorspace and would rather have things close to them
>live in a rural area working in agriculture, with the same serenity and massive amounts of land you'd get if rich, just without anywhere near as nice a home and the fact that agricultural work often is sunrise to sunset when you're the owner
>live in a suburb where you have a yard, you're close enough to commute to the city for jobs, and the crime rate is low, but there's nothing to do except chill inside your home or your lawn, the entire environment is somewhat soul-draining in aesthetics and the people surrounding you, and it involves a whole lot of sitting in a car getting places

You get the full breadth of it both in the city and out in rural areas, it just depends on how much money you have to blow. You often find that people born into the lower end of either of those have their tastes permanently soured to whatever they grew up with, and will call you an idiot if you think otherwise.

why do people have this idealized rural america

t. grew up and live in rural indiana

everyones fuckin poor or on drugs, people act like I'm rich because I make $25 an hour

there are no jobs besides factory work

everything is 15-30 minutes away by car

>>16228905
If you're ACTUALLY rich: you have a fucking private jet that you and your buddies can take anywhere at literally any time and have your favourite restaurant in that city wake up in the middle of the fucking night deliver the food hot and fresh straight to the hangar along with all the booze and drugs you could want.

>>16223112
>Bars on windows
>Surrounded by people

I love to visit the city, but I live where 4WD is required 1/2 of the year. Keeps the city soy trash out.

I once spent over 15$ at a gas station in a flyover town while passing t hrough once and the clerk acted like I was buying a new car.

Were you buying a new car? $15 is fucking drug dealer money to be throwing around at a gas station.
