I’ve got no issues with msg, so not sure why that’s aimed at me.

We should all go back to making fun of the manager, though.

Bro, Zaxby’s doesn’t hold a candle to Cane’s. Zaxby’s has plain arse chicken and pre-packaged sauce. That’s no tGOAT.

Bakers Gold GOAT


Mix bakers gold with Sesame

Or garlic parm

Or fire in the hole


Basically mix baker's gold with a flavor of your choice. It's legit.

Fire in the hole wings sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar is the most surprising flavor you will ever have.

I was not aware that it was ever viewed that way. Props to the marketing team behind coconut oil, because now it’s talked about as a miracle, do everything product, like activated charcoal or CBD.

Ha. There's actually some pretty good science behind coconut oil benefits, but of course anything with a benefit can be distorted into snake oil.

Quote from a good friend of mine who is about 5'8" and weights probably 325. "I frickin love MSG." One time we were getting breakfast at a local restaurant after a night of drinking. He ordered chicken fried steak, eggs, sausage and biscuits and toast. Told the waitress to put a shitload of gravy on everything.

I don't even know what msg is tbh.

MSG = monosodium glutamate.

Glutamate is the source of umami, the 5th flavor. It's been used in cooking since ancient times, but it wasn't until the early 1900s that a Japanese chemist identified glutamate as the molecule. So yeah MSG is like salt, except it adds umami instead of salty flavor.

I remember this article so well. I was dating this girl at the time and her roommate came over with her the night this article came out. We went to Varsity that night and after we all wanted food so it was either Louie’s or Canes. She chose Louie’s because “Canes puts GHB in their chicken”. This was one of the dumbest girls I ever met.

Back in the good ole days when this article was written you mixed the ingredients of the marinade yourself so everyone knew exactly what was in it. They changed to packets not too long after.

Cane's is bland arse soggy chicken that happens to come with the best dipping sauce on the planet.

If it weren't for that sauce, Cane's would have never had a second location and closed within a year.

There was an interesting "Stuff You Should Know" podcast a while back regarding how MSG erroneously was pegged as the Chinese Food Fullness cause. If I remember right, someone posing as a doctor published an article (possibly a joke) and the scientific community ran with it.

MSG is natural. Just like salt


MSG is a salt. Sodium Chloride is a salt, though in common vernacular it is simply called salt(shorthans]d for table salt). The salt substitute Potassium Chloride is also a salt.

A side tidbit from a Wikipedia article about two studies done
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monosodium_glutamate

quote:

Adequately controlling for experimental bias includes a blinded, placebo-controlled experimental design (DBPC) and administration by capsule, because of the unique aftertaste of glutamates.[26] In a study by Tarasoff and Kelly (1993), 71 fasting participants were given 5 g of MSG and then a standard breakfast. One reaction (to the placebo, in a self-identified MSG-sensitive individual) occurred.[24] A study by Geha et al. (2000) tested the reaction of 130 subjects with a reported sensitivity to MSG. Multiple DBPC trials were performed, with subjects exhibiting at least two symptoms continuing. Two people out of the 130 responded to all four challenges. Because of the low prevalence, the researchers concluded that a response to MSG was not reproducible.[28]

You’d be hard pressed to find any restaurant not using MSG in some way.

It will especially be in pretty much any fast food ingredient mix
