Welcome to The Hub. This is our welcoming tribe dedicated to introducing yourself, meeting new people, and learning about new tribes.
@polishknight My wife and I also tried Raising Canes, and we did not finish the food, as we found it to be awful. I actually lost my appetite eating it, because it was just that bad.
I don't consider my standards too high for what I am able to enjoy. Even if something is not that good, I can still like it on a pass-fail scale. Raising Canes fails.
@Typo-MAGAshiv A banana for breakfast, typically. It depends upon the fruit available. I agree that fat loss is meaningless if it's coming at the expense of muscle mass which I can't afford to lose at my age so I have something with protein before my workouts.
I've seen seeing improvements in my weight lifting numbers plus my bloodwork came back better than 6 months ago (overall has been pretty good except I wanted to beef up my Vitamin D numbers) My father history has high cholesterol including my.9 year old daughter, sadly.
I do love steak and regularly make it for the whole family including my daughter who wolfs it down.
Neither us jumped in but there were a few kids swimming. Air temp ranged from 45° at night to highs of 65°. Water temp was 50-60° with 15-30mph gusts. Lake Gichigami doesn't play.
Girlfriend was not happy at first when she realized I only packed hammock and tarps for shelter. She left impressed.
Whole trip was her idea after hearing me and my boy discussing our old backpacking trips. It's been years and it definitely rekindled my spirits.
Pricing out gear on our ride home right now.
I'm in northern Utah rather than southern California but we've a similar climate between the two and that just looks like standard late autumn scrubland in a desert to me. Everything looks dried out and dead this time o' year.
Sup everyone haven't been around for a while. I remember there was a youtube channel with itswr1tten and he had some endorsed contributors guests like vasily, gaylubeoil etc. and it was pretty hilarius to listen to. Anybody knows what happened with that? There is a broken link on the reddit page to trp.red/podcasts but that page doesn't exist.
@MentORPHEUS We tried it out of curiosity. 3 chicken finger combo with fries and fountain drink, $11.00. Unimpressed. The parking lot is full and the people who dine there are large, so I don't think they got that combo. The interior reminds me of a combination of Chick-Fil-A and TGIF's: Lots of stuff hanging on the walls, a 1950's retro vibe, and clean tables.
McD's has decent chicken tenders, great breakfasts, and good soft serve ice cream (when the machine is working). The burgers are meh. I don't think it's solely because of the frozen patties in that I have some frozen burger patties my neighbor gave me and I grilled them up and they were delicious. I think something is just bland about their recipe.
What do you 'all think of Raising Canes?
The owner got richer than God selling fried comfort food at great markups. The private equity firm Four Rivers bought a big stake, which will almost certainly drive enshittification and decline of the brand.
