@Buck Turgidson Those take out crab cakes look horrible. Ughhh. Making them at home isn't too hard especially if you have a good recipe. I was in Austin this past weekend (to see Willie at White Water Amphitheater in New Braunfels) and driving back to my girlfriends house in Lago after the show I had to stop for a 1 am Whataburger.... The onion rings at Whataburger never disappoint.
I would agree when it comes to "out of the bag' frozen Fries.... but when you find a place that makes good, real, hand cut fries and cooks them properly, only the finest of onion rings can compete. Too bad most places just pour fries out of a SYSCO bag into the oil and call it a day.
I haven't had food at DQ in a decade. I forgot they even had rings. I'll give them a stop at my next road trip. Thanks
Too funny. They may be the reason I haven't stopped in DQ in forever. I seem to remember stopping in there with my kids on the way back from San Antonio and it was horrible.
That location has a "Managers Wanted" ad in the local papers every week. Apparently the owner does not give a **** and is terrible to work for. DQ and Sonic depend on the owners. The DQ in Lampassas is/was great a couple of years ago. So is the Sonic in Marble Falls.
Had some great rings at a local place (Donnie's Pit Stop Grill) here in Ruidoso this weekend. I usually stop in for the fish and chips (which are always excellent) and today I noticed rings on the menu and of course had to try them. I’d give them a solid A. Thin sliced and hand breaded then perfectly fried. Delicious.
DOOMED Onions Sold in 37 States Linked to Salmonella Outbreak in U.S. At least 129 people have been hospitalized so far. Fresh onions sold in at least 37 states have been linked to a salmonella outbreak that’s sickened at least 652 people and led to the hospitalization of 129, according to a new report from the Centers For Disease Control. The onions were imported from Chihuahua, Mexico and distributed by ProSource Inc., but the onions have not been formally recalled yet. The dangerous onions—red, white, and brown varieties—were sold to both restaurants and grocery stores throughout the U.S. and were last imported on August 27. And while that was almost two months ago, there’s concern that these onions are still being sold in stores and sitting in pantries throughout America. “Check storage coolers and coolers for these onions. If you can’t tell where they are from, throw them away,” the CDC advised in a post on the agency’s website. “Wash and sanitize any surfaces that may have come in contact with these onions,” the CDC continued. The CDC advises contacting your doctor if you experience: Diarrhea and a fever higher than 102°F Diarrhea for more than 3 days that is not improving Bloody diarrhea So much vomiting that you cannot keep liquids down Signs of dehydration, such as: Not peeing much, dry mouth and throat, or feeling dizzy when standing up The only states that haven’t detected cases from this salmonella outbreak yet are primarily in the west, including Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, and Arizona. Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire have also not identified cases of salmonella from the onions yet, but that could all just be a matter of time. While ProSource onions are known to be one source of the salmonella outbreak, the CDC stresses that it’s still investigating whether other companies are also to blame. “Investigators are working to determine if other onions and suppliers are linked to this outbreak,” the CDC said.
