ah yeah, this is just the apple one. probably not the most reliable anyway

as opposed to what?

it adds up

especially when you brew it with chicken stock

I use that LoseIt app and I put in coffee and 500g comes out to 5-10 cals? It's probably negligible...

calorie countin' chris

as a black pour over V60 guy myself, I always add 10 cals for coffee. but that's just me

ah gotcha. yes. hangover park, indeed. i might actually be moving there briefly in the spring...

excellent. It'll be with the drive. every time I go to Orange County I get Portillo's and it's always worth it, even though I know it's different from when I was a kid. the company is entirely franchised now, so the EP location will get the same delivery quality as any Chicago one anyway...

it's the most beautiful concept in the world.

try a beef with sweet and hot dipped sometime.

nice. we would alternate between two. could essentially bike to the Bloomingdale location on Lake St. and Bloomingdale Rd. Or drive to the one in Hanover Park on Barrington. We ended up at that one a lot because my dad would drag us to Handy Andy all the time...

yeah! I grew up within walking distance to one so it'll never taste the same as my childhood. but yes, it'll do the trick in El Paso. what's your order?

that's very sweet. we have a family of squirrels that live in the tree on our deck and it's comical how active they are right now. Throwing nuts and giant fruit on our table and chairs while we sit. they don't care at all and it's glorious.

this is me with squirrels right now (in trees)

The quality of food itself overall has dropped since being bought and going public. as someone who grew up on it when it was a small local chain, it isn't the same even in Chicago now. but it's still good and scratches the itch. The Orange County one is always slammed. That's wild it's coming to EP!

great to know. thanks so much for the info. happy tweakin'!
