I need a wake-up call from time to time. Iโm critical with restaurants, but I didnโt realize I was being an insufferable asshole possibly speaking from a place of ignorance. Letโs change that. ๐ฝ๏ธ
Even at prestigious, well-reviewed restaurants, Iโm often in there with only 2 or 3 other tables. I have no idea how they stay in business. The bustling restaurants I see are all chains like ๐๐๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐. ๐ฝ๏ธ
The MCU tried horror with DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS, but they did it with kid gloves. CLAYFACE did horror better, and itโs a bold swing for the DCU. Glad to see it pay off. ๐ฟ
I dislike babies at restaurants. If itโs my friendโs baby though, I will John Wick a motherfucker.
Arancini and veal meatballs at ๐๐๐ซ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐จ for lunch, then pad thai with pork jowl at ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐จ๐ค for dinner. Vancouverโs a foodie town too. ๐
CLAYFACE felt like TV horror except for one scene with gore. Still a more interesting character than Batman. โ

Film school makes you more useful on set, and every set needs competent people to get the movie done.
Iโve been a PA, LM, PM, VA, actor, extra, B-cam, gaffer, lamp op, swing, stills, props buyer, director (on a student film), and caterer.
I write and produce now. Skills, yโall.

Weโre down to 72 now. New restaurants keep popping up, but a whole bunch have closed too. Do you follow the Michelin Guide? ๐ฅ
Michelin first came to Vancouver in 2022, and now lists 75 restaurants.

The scrambled eggs at a hotel breakfast are 19% water, and they're dyed.
A lot of hotels and cafeterias pour them from a carton of Papetti's Breakfast Blend. The spec sheet reads whole eggs, 19% water, then under 2% of salt, xanthan gum, citric acid, annatto color and natural butter flavor. Papetti's is part of Michael Foods, one of the biggest egg processors in the country.
Every ingredient has a job on a steam table. Xanthan gum holds the added water in the egg so it doesn't weep into the pan. Citric acid keeps the eggs from turning gray or green under a heat lamp. Annatto puts back the yolk color the water washed out. The butter flavor is there because nobody is going to add butter. The carton keeps for 98 days in the cooler.
The plain version from the same company is whole eggs, whey, skim milk, xanthan and citric acid, with almost no added water and half the sodium.
