Expensive food items for the common folk that are highly overrated and not worth its price tag.

It's not but just because someone smokes does not mean they are doing it right. There are many mistakes I made when I first started smoking. For me though once you go to smoked ribs all other ribs are trash for the most part. Also, when it comes to ribs and wings some people are into wet rub and others are into dry rub. I don't like wet rub.

As far as expensive food items that are overrated and not worth the price tag I would say steak sauce. I looked today and major brands like A1 are close to $6.00 per bottle. Totally not worth it if you know how to season a steak properly.

I would also add the cost of name brand cookies are overrated and not worth the price tag. Chips Ahoy are running close to $6.00 per package. Depending on the store brand lower tier brands taste just as good.
 
Ribs overrated is crazy talk. I usually do st Louis and smoke the trim too. I don't think it's wasteful at all. Comes out amazing.

Smoked meats is the best. The best way to have a salmon is to smoke it, by far

Agreed with lobster I personally don't think it's that great. I always prefer dungeness crab.

Prefer ribeye over filet mignon but mingon isn't bad at all.

Lot smoked meats, but I'd take pan seared salmon over smoked any day.

Okay, let's break down what's being said in that Sherdog forum post. It's full of slang and internet speak, so it might seem confusing at first!

Essentially, this person is reacting to the idea that ribs are an expensive food item. Here's a simpler explanation of the key points:

  • "fam since wen r ribs expensive dem cheap af":
    • "fam": This is short for "family" or "friend." It's a casual way to address someone online.
    • "since wen r ribs expensive": This is asking, "Since when are ribs expensive?"
    • "dem cheap af":
      • "dem": This is slang for "they" or "them."
      • "cheap af": "AF" is an intensifier, meaning "as f***." So, "cheap af" means "very cheap."
    • In simple words: The person is saying, "Hey friend, ribs aren't expensive, they're actually very cheap."
    • Example: Instead of a pricey steak, someone might choose ribs because they get a lot of meat for less money.
  • "ur chatgbt sound poor broski 🤖🚫💰":
    • "ur chatgbt": This likely refers to the AI that might have generated the initial list of overrated expensive foods. "Ur" is internet slang for "your."
    • "sound poor": This is an insult implying that the AI's idea of expensive food is something that someone who is not wealthy would consider expensive.
    • "broski": This is a friendly term, like "bro" or "buddy."
    • "🤖🚫💰": This uses emojis to reinforce the idea that the AI (robot) doesn't understand money or what's truly expensive. The crossed-out money bag emoji emphasizes this.
    • In simple words: The person is jokingly saying that the AI who thinks ribs are expensive must be out of touch with what real expensive food is.
  • "haffi spend a likkle more taym wid it too give it personality dnt just 🪓 once den ctrl c ctrl v smdh 🤦🏿 at least tell it "mek di post wid no dashes" nobody use dashes unless yuh writin' a book or sumn fam": This part is giving advice on how to improve the AI's writing.
    • "haffi": This is Jamaican Patois for "have to."
    • "spen a likkle more taym wid it": "Spend a little more time with it."
    • "give it personality": Make the writing more engaging and less robotic.
    • "dnt just 🪓 once den ctrl c ctrl v":
      • "🪓 once": This is a bit of slang, possibly meaning to do something quickly and without much effort.
      • "ctrl c ctrl v": These are computer shortcuts for "copy" and "paste," implying the AI is just copying and pasting without much thought.
    • "smdh 🤦🏿": "SMDH" stands for "shaking my damn head," expressing disappointment or disbelief. The facepalm emoji reinforces this.
    • "at least tell it "mek di post wid no dashes"": "At least tell it 'make the post with no dashes'."
    • "nobody use dashes unless yuh writin' a book or sumn fam": "Nobody uses dashes unless you're writing a book or something, friend." "Yuh" is slang for "you," and "sumn" is slang for "something."
    • In simple words: This person is suggesting that the AI needs more effort put into its writing to make it sound more human and less repetitive. They also point out a specific stylistic preference – not using dashes in regular online posts.
    • Example: Instead of just listing facts, the AI could use more varied language and sentence structures to sound more natural, like a person talking in a forum.
So, in short, the person thinks ribs are cheap, finds it funny that an AI might consider them expensive, and gives advice on how to make the AI's writing better and more like a real person."

People hate but to achieve such a worldwide standard across your franchise is impressive.

Pick any of the 13,500+ locations and order French Fries. You're going to get the same experience and product at every single location. When you buy McDonald's you know exactly what you're getting.

Fast food prices in general have skyrocketed but your $5 basket of fries at the local townie bar could be a crapshoot.

If you think for one goddamned second that you're getting the exact same experience and product at every McDonald's location, you're an idiot. The quality of the food and the quality of the experience differ WILDLY depending on which one you go to, and anyone with even a modicum of experience in business would know that based on the realities of the restaurant industry.

In some idealistic utopia, yeah sure, every McDonald's is the same. Not in reality, and it's the same with every business, ESPECIALLY restaurants.
 
I prefer filet mignon with a wine reduction sauce over a grilled ribeye. 20 years ago i would have picked the grilled ribeye. Tastes change.

I'm literally not getting the same food or experience each time at my McDonalds! It depends on who is working, how busy they are, etc. Sometimes the fries are soggy, sometime warm and crisp, sometimes shorted on fries, etc. The double cheeseburgers can sometimes be sloppy as hell while other times fairly well put together.

My local bar has changes what brand and style fries they have based on whatever is cheapest. One day you get mushy crinkle cut, and the next skinny crispy ones.

You'll never face that at McDonald's. There's a standard for product.

Let me know who's doing on that scale for better and cheaper.

Filet Mignon is the most expensive cut of steak and somehow also the least flavorful. It’s the tofu of beef: texture over taste, and you need sauce to make it interesting.

Lobster is only good because of butter. You could dip a flip-flop in melted butter and it’d taste decent. Lobster on its own? Kinda bland. Butter is doing all the heavy lifting here. It’s 90% shell, 10% meat.
You spend 45 minutes cracking, pulling, twisting—and what do you get? A bite-sized payoff and a growing pile of shell shrapnel. No thanks.

Caviar is fish eggs, not fairy dust. At the end of the day, you’re just eating salty, cold fish embryos with a fancy price tag. 🤮

Barbecue Ribs is mostly bone and all hype. You’re paying for a plate that’s 70% skeleton. You dig through meat like you’re on an archaeological dig, and what you get barely fills you up. The sauce is doing all the heavy lifting. If your ribs need to be dunked in a gallon of sauce to be edible, maybe the meat wasn’t that great to begin with.

Tomahawk Steak is basically a ribeye with a handle. You’re not paying for more meat—you’re paying for a decorative bone.

Good that your taste in MMA is better than your taste in food. Saku is a legend, your post is bollocks.
 


This is what I ordered in Toronto. This mountain is a lot smaller. They have a weird ordering procedure though. You are supposed to choose your lobster from the tank then they weigh it in front of you before cooking it. It made all the little kids cry when they realized we were going to eat the lobster they picked out.
