What? Next you will be asking what the hell a "Hoagie" is.

Pretty sure i know what that is.  Electric Guitar pedals I'm not so sure about.

Mmmmmm. Gas station coffee and gas station hot dogs. With that you never have to go anywhere else to eat.

Doesn't the "flavor" in a Poor Boy come from the fact it has heavily seasoned breading to mask the use of rotten meats and fish?

The mayo based sauce helps also.

My aunt and uncle had a fish and clam fry at their home.  After much eati g and a lot of drinking the clams ran out. So they wadded up strips of papertowel and breaded them and fried them.  And no one seemed to notice.  Breading and frying has made inedible food edible for a long, long time.

I think the beauty of a capitalist free market economy is that consumers can decide for themselves whether to stop patronizing Starbucks over their diversity training and/or their new policy of allowing even non-customers to use their facilities.  Although I think the later is a mistake, I won't be selling my Starbucks stock and don't expect Starbucks to experience a major hit in sales.  It'll be interesting to see what their financials are over the next several quarters.
I adore facts and data and abhor lies and liars.

The only problem with that story is that paper towels, toilet paper, are perfectly edible. They don't taste good and have no nutrition, but they are edible. Anyone who has ever raised a toddler knows that. Mine was crazy about the toilet paper. I think it was the scent. She also loved splashing around in the toilet water. It was annoying at the time, but it worked out well for potty training. She loved the bathroom. It was no problem getting her to go in there and sit on the toilet.

And the problem with your story is thinking that paper towels are pefectly edible.  It's people like you who keep shit reataurants like Applebees and TGI Fridays open.

What the hell is a Starbuck?
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

I left out Panera, Red Lobster, Hooters and Outback.  Do I really have to list all the shitty restaurants?

What restaurant do you like, if any? Just idle curiosity. I heard what you don't like, so what do you like? I might take my GF there.
