I’m wondering if that’s the same baked potato on every plate.

Why do they refuse to put any butter or sour cream on the potato. I don’t get it

I don’t know, but I never realized the importance of parsley until a few days ago.

My favorite isthmus shrimp cocktail with crooked plastic cup of cocktail sauce. Yum?

You can buy live king crabs at H Mart now. There’s also a chinese restaurant around Edison that has them live. I think the price was like 100$/lb there, which is absurd when you consider the yield. I think Hmart charges something like 30$/lb?

Greg, I think someone took your advice regarding parsley …

I’ve got to be honest with you, in my 49 years of life I have NEVER seen Chicken Francaise served over mashed potatoes. WTF? I can’t honestly understand that flavor combination, mushy lemon / sour mashed potatoes? Ugggghhhh

Seriously has any ever seen that before?

They do show it; maybe they want to emphasize that it comes on the side.

My friend just got a “birthday” pack of discount cards for various Monmouth County restaurants–including one for Zhang’s Grille! (I hope people who get this call first rather than drive there to discover it is defunct.)

Putting aside actually eating this as you stated it would result in weird mushy chicken and lemon curdled mashed potatoes, it’s just visually unappealing. It just looks like mush. A bed of grilled veggies with vibrant colors like carrots , squash, and zucchini for instance would have been 1000x better for this picture. And that was with 15 seconds of thinking. Show the potatoes in bowl on the side with some chives if you want. At least there were no fingers in the dish in this one. If they’re reading this thread which they may be since they took Greg up on his suggestions I hope they do same here too, lol.

Nah. Not into ears and no tats - at least none on my face.

Oh my God. Can they do anything right?

I just don’t get it. It would look so much better slathered in butter and cream and promoting a visceral reaction rather than a dry baked potato and rock hard ice cold pat of butter and plastic cup off to the side?
