Hot Doug's closing in October.

That is all.

Stuart, from Austin, has all the reasons why in the comments section. He clearly has Hot Doug's all figured out.

Translation: Thanks Obama.

It's not a stretch to think that increased costs associated with running a QSR and his insistence on being there every minute it's open might have caused him to say "Fuck this noise, I'm a GONNA DRINKEN" or whatever. Seeing that he's the offspring of a well-known urologist, Sohn might not have really needed to turn much of a profit anyway.

Maybe Sohn's got his eye on sitting in the big chair in City Hall in 2015, and and Oct. 6 campaign launch is in the works. If so, he'd not be the first Sohn to seek that office in our lifetimes.

Nothing makes one feel old and lame like reading something like that and recognizing, like, 4 of the restaurants.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

Nothing makes one feel bitter and twisted like reading about twenty-five sandwich restaurants that you cunts have failed to mention.  I know what I'm eating next time I'm in town: all twenty-five of these.

EDIT: okay, twenty-three.  I feel like Xoco and Au Cheval have been mentioned round these parts before.  BUT NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE ME GO THERE, DAMMIT.

In a pan, fry four small-ish pork shoulder chops (say a pound, pound and a half) until nice and browned.  Slowly bake five or six large pork sausages in a medium oven until brown and sticky.  Remove bone from chops, and chop all the meat into bite-size chunks.  Fry half or three-quarters of a pound of chopped streaky bacon until brown and crisp.

Then roughly chop:

2-3 onions
3-4 carrots
1 large or 2 small leeks
1/2 to 3/4 of a celeriac, peeled
3 sticks celery

Add four-five cloves, two or three bay leaves, a good tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves, and fry all veggies in your fat of choice until softened.  Then add a pound and a half of dried split peas, and four pints (around two litres) of good organic meat stock.  Add all meat to the pan and bring to the boil.  When boiling, skim off as much of the scum on top as you can.  Continue to boil gently until more or less all the stock has been absorbed and the peas are good and soft.  Season to taste (depending on how salty your bacon and stock are, it might not need much).  Serve with rye bread, butter, and mustard.

As you can see, the quantities aren't terribly scientific, and I never make it the same twice.  As long as you use more or less all the ingredients, in more or less the right quantities, though, you're guaranteed a really, really fucking delicious bowl of food.

EDIT: It's called "Snert", and is a thicker, meatier version of erwtensoep (pea soup).

Leaving aside the fact that the word "organic" on store-bought "stock" is pretty much a guarantee of a subpar product in these parts, I am curious why, of all the ingredients, you thought it was important for this one.

To be fair, I try to make sure that pretty much everything in this recipe is organic when I make it - but especially the meat and stock.  We buy organic bones and make our own stock.  The approach I take is that (in contrast to veggies) the price difference between organic and non-organic meat products is so huge, that I dread to think what corners they're cutting to produce non-organic.  If it costs me €20 to buy a couple of pounds of organic chicken, then what the fuck have they done to the chicken for which the supermarket is charging me a quarter of that amount?  I don't know, I don't want to know, and if I can avoid it, I do.

And before you start, I'm just answering your question.  I don't give a flying fuck what you think about it.

Are your frappuccino and the muscle in it both organic, too?
