I got breaded chicken fillets to try out homemade chicken sandwiches. I still don't understand what the hype is about. I think it's based off the chemicals they put in their food.

When they closed my local Bennigan's, I eventually got a craving for a Monte Cristo in the way that they served it, and never got a good rendition anywhere else. So I made a nice club sandwich, and did a challah bread french toast to the bread, and though it was delicious, it was missing the battery crust of their version which is more like a beer batter fish n chips crust. Whim was over though. Later on, I tried to make my own broccoli chedder bites, using a scoop on day 2 leftover casserole, but didn't have the right sweet grainy mustard sauce to dip them in. Mine had too much honey flavor.
I'd love to duplicate the onion loaf from Tony Romas! Did they serve a sauce with it? I hardly remember.

I'm about to make some homemade burgers

I have 400 grams of ground beef, I only feel like eating two 100g patties
Ground meat is notorious from going bad incredibly fast. Once the package is opened, it releases the gases and that possibly expedites the spoiling process
how do I preserve the last 200g for tomorrow? Will just saran wrap do the trick or do I need to freeze it?

Just wrap the packaging back up with saran or foil. One day will not make a difference if you are planning on eating it tomorrow. If you need more long term storage then yeah freeze it.

I got tired of McChickens being more than $1, so I decided to make my own. Got some basic grocery store hamburger buns, frozen chicken patties, shredded iceberg lettuce, and mayo. Toast the buns a little, microwave the patty, and throw a ton of black pepper into it (I use the chunkity butcher block stuff) and damn, I can't tell the difference.

I used to be the sous chef at a country club. it was, desu, a low rent club by country club standards. still a bunch of stogey fucks, but it was cheaper by half than others in the area. the members were all old as fuck and hated good food. we tried to push the limits but they just wanted a 70s menu. frustrating.
Anyway one of the occasional weeknight specials was a big mac ripoff. we called it big mick, like in Coming to America. I don't think the members got the reference but they fucking loved big mick night.

Olive Garden zuppa Toscana. I always put down like 6 bowls in addition to my meal when I go there so I just made a ton at home instead. Turned out really tasty but what you don't notice at the restaurant is the massive layer of sausage grease that floats on top of the pot. Even dodging that I always seem to end up with a headache after eating much of the copycat. Might be the kale?

Salt, oil, or MSG. Restaurants use WAY more of these three things than home cooks do. Your squirt of oil is like half a tablespoon while they dump 2-3 tablespoons of oil. Your pinch of salt is a few flakes while their pinch is a full teaspoon. And fast food is usually loaded with MSG and other artificial flavors to make the slop taste addictive.

For breads and stuff its all the dough conditioners and gums and shit they add.
