American Salaryman Food

[Anonymous No.19361576]

I finally got out of the industry and have been working at possibly the least stressful job on the planet that still requires you to go outside. It’s in a busy business area with a bunch of chain restaurants and mediocre ethnic places that cater to the lunch crowd. It’s the first time I’ve had to worry about lunch in years, but everyone is insane and orders in food almost every day. Suffice to say, after a month working in the area I’ve gotten take-out from a few places after work just to try them out. Which if any would you try? I’ll give my opinions at the end.

First is Panda Express:
Orange Chicken
Eggplant Tofu
Chow Mein
3 Piece Potstickers
Comes with fortune cookie
$12

[Anonymous No.19361579]

Next up is L&L Hawaiian BBQ:
Pork Lau Lau
Kalua Pork
2 Scoop Rice
1 Scoop Mac Salad
Side kimchi and shoyu
$17

[Anonymous No.19361582]

Tonight’s order was from a local Korean BBQ place that really, really wants an all-white clientele:
Kimchi-jjigae w/ pork, rice cake, and glass noodles
Comes with rice and banchan
$20

Uhh… one moment…

That’s better. The jjigae isn’t really ready to eat right out of the box. This is only half the stew and noodles. The pear wasn’t included, but it was ripe.

I would happily eat any of these but damn man you have to start packing a lunch, save like $400 a month. Also I get katsu curry at l&l, mini size, with a black can of those juices. the full size makes one need a nap afterwards

[Anonymous No.19361620]

For context, this was today’s lunch. I usually just make a sandwich or take some leftovers of whatever I made the night before, but I was being lazy.

[Anonymous No.19361626]

Panda Express was by far the worst. Imagine the most generic American-Chinese food and then remove all the flavor. They didn’t even have chopsticks, and it was in the same parking lot as a Walmart, lol.

L&L wasn’t bad. They definitely left out a couple ingredients from the Lau Lau, and the rice was weirdly dry for how busy they were. $17 for a plate lunch is also insane.

The Korean looked great. I was skeptical walking in if they were even going to include rice and side dishes, and then they gave me a bag of noodles and threw in a few rice cakes because…why not? But it turned out to be some of the most bland Korean food I’ve ever had, which probably made it the most disappointing. That one piece of dry, lean pork was all the pork that was included, the broth had no depth of flavor, and I’m pretty sure they just threw in a few pieces of their really mild kimchi and then added an entire quarter of a blanched cabbage, uncut.

Now I really want to go to my old Korean place in the shitty part of town. If I do so this weekend I’ll make a thread.

If you're going to L&L I'd recommend their barbecue chicken, katsu, or loco moco over the laulau. Those are the most popular foods and for good reason, unless you're trying to eat less fatty/fried stuff.

Yeah, and Hawaiian food doesn't usually have much presentation to it unless you know what you're looking at. The "Korean" food on the other hand looked pretty good but was practically flavorless. I'm sure they made the soup to order (if they made it earlier in the day it would at least have had time for a little bit of flavor to develop - not that the dish normally takes a long time), but you're right, as soon as I pulled out the little box of banchan my first thought was that they had been put together by some prep-cook first thing in the morning and they have an entire lowboy with nothing but to-go banchans the server throws in the bag when they get a take-out order.

Unless you only eat in one of these business belt cheesecake factory areas or live in like Ohio, or literal North Dakota, most "ethnic food places" in the US actually kind of just cater to people from that country. A lot of people still have this weird idea of like American-Chinese food from the 70's that is basically archaic at this point, or think we don't understand the difference between Mexican food, Tex-Mex, and Taco Bell.

Then I realized there's no possible way you've even seen the Pacific irl, and probably just got some random 3rd hand nonsense from a friend of a friend who has a friend in a militia who got kicked out of the Navy but definitely, totally, heard all about what Hawaii is like from some dude when he was in basic training.

Welp. Right after saying I wouldn't be back to Panda Express I got gyped by the Panda. They sent me a message about how my "welcome gift" of a free entrée with a $15 purchase was about to expire, so I said fuck it. Turns out it's hard to order $15 worth of food at PE. The 3 entrée plate is only like $11, and then it's another $2 for some egg rolls, so then I just said "fuck it" and ordered a small sugar water to get me up to mark and get my shitty honey walnut shrimp. Yeah, I'm a sucker for stupid shit like that and always have been.

>are you completely retarded? (>>19365082)
>no. can you articulate what you'd trying to say? (>>19365829)
At this point you seemingly move the goalposts and start acting like you were only talking about native Hawaiians being fat without ever explicitly saying it, and have stuck to that line until now, where you blatantly went back and rewrote the entire premise of the argument from "people in Hawaii are fat" to "Hawaiians are fat", and are acting like I'm the stupid one for not understanding the difference between the two when I'm the one who introduced the statistics in the first place.

why would I go to a franchise chain where I'm guaranteed to get the lowest quality ingredients possible because every single one of them hires some schmuck that tries to cut costs each year? even if the mom and pop restaurant doesn't use the most expensive ingredients either it's never as extreme as with penny pinching franchises and there's always a chance that the owners take pride in their work. that is is not the case with any franchise, it's 100% about money and nothing else which shows. especially when it comes to the minimum wage workers

Panda Express is probably the worst example of American-Chinese food. That was kind of the point. Calling it "American Salaryman food" was meant to make the contrast between Japanese Salarymen, who at least stereotypically have lots of really good small restaurants and food stands to choose from during their soul crushing 18 hour days, whereas in the US people who have cushy jobs are for some reason spending their money eating the shittiest chain food possible, which most people otherwise typically avoid. I wasn't trying to make some kind of overarching value judgment; it's just really bizarre how people eat in different countries depending on the context. I'm pretty sure the only reason most chain restaurants like Panda Express, Chipotle, Panera, or Applebee's are even in business at all at this point is because of office workers regularly ordering in food from those places.

biggest surprise was how fucking good the poke at the airport at 10 pm was

[Anonymous No.19369531]

in context a helicopter full of swat landed on kalalu and kicked everyone out

[Anonymous No.19369540]

>>19369531
Lol. It wasn't swat. The park rangers are just kind of dicks. I got kicked out more than once for camping without a permit. They always wake you up at like 6am and try to be as intimidating as possible.

it was armed swat in full gear they were looking for this guy who threw some jap tourists off the cliff.

Oh shit, never mind then. Did you ever see the movie A Perfect Getaway? The entire thing is set on the Kalalau trail, and for some retarded reason (obviously to save money) they decided to film the entire thing in Belize, even though the script was explicitly written about this very specific trail.

I don't even think the airport had food other than vending machines when I moved away. But yeah, Hawaii is one of the few places in the country where you can sell fish that came right off the boat that morning without ever being put on ice and it's so much better than 99% of sushi places on the mainland.

>A small American city of 50,000 should have at least half a dozen Chinese food options
Hyper-depends on where you live. In you're in the Southwest outside of California, you get Panda and maybe a couple sit-down diners and/or buffet places, but the fast-food style restaurants almost completely disappear.

Buying lunch is the biggest scam of the office life next to trusting HR with your problems.
Thankfully I work remote now, but 1 week of eating out was close to a month of groceries for me.

Probably because the EU views American food as poisonous so your part of the country is banning them?

Ain't no huli huli chicken at L&L. As far as I'm concerned, unless you're driving down the road and pull over when you see smoke, you're not getting huli huli chicken.

Kek. Even the most "liberal" states aren't liberal enough to take common sense cues from shit the EU did decades ago. America is practically a far right shithole at this point. The closest thing we have to progressives are a handful of congresspeople who are like, "yeah, so like, maybe we shouldn't ban books for elementary school kids...?" The idea that we'd do any basic regulation for unhealthy food or GMOs is laughable. The ironic thing is that most people want that shit; it's just that we haven't been a functioning democracy in a long time.

Being poor and being lazy aren't the same thing. Only poor people conflate the two, which is why they tend to spend their money on stupid shit they can't afford.

Chinese places use a fuckton of gas, and gas prices rising means they're a lot less profitable than they were. My "Stepmother"'s brother ran one and chose to close rather than get new menus because he's a lazy fuck

Rising gas prices are almost negligible compared to food costs.

>It's a photography gig. Guaranteed 40 hours with benefits, decent pay, basically make my own schedule and don't report to anyone, but there's often not even enough to shoot to spend 40 hours, so I get paid to do whatever I feel like most of the time. It's still a job, but it doesn't really feel like one.
What kind of photography and where? Not trying to dox you, just a non american photographer here. With a diploma, not some weekend shooter.

I've seen interesting things in the US but they're never actually full time and forget about benefits.

Still going strong in the midwest. I had no idea it was dying off elsewhere. That's quite sad actually. The atmosphere of small family owned Chinese restaurants is so comfy.

Traps were a shockpost, and even traps have absolutely zero connection to the tranny madness of current years. Trannies consider the term a slur and actively want to bury them.
