Tuesday Favorites: Chain Restaurant Signature Bread

[gatorev12]

Just so you know. I work in IT. I sit at a desk in front of a computer in my home all day from 8-5.

Whenever you want to play the down vote game again, its no problem for me to waste a few minutes here and there returning the favor.

Glad we straightened that out.
Amusing that one downvote would trigger a flurry of responsive ones.

Your trigger finger was itchy today, apparently.

I'm sorry past traumas have wounded your psyche.

But yes, RL biscuits are the clear winner here.
Which is fortunate since it's their endless shrimp special too.

It wasn't the first or the second or the 3rd one today you gave me that made my finger itchy, it was the 4th one.

I'd really debated putting the pão de queijo from Fogo de Chão on here, along with the Outback black bread

But Outback's bread isn't that good on it's own without butter; and while the cheese rolls are good, they're pretty standard at any Brazilian place and it's hard to distinguish between the frozen ones or the fresh from oven ones, so loses steam there.

Agree on the Outback bread.

Its just childish and petty. But I can roll that way too if provoked.

Oh, I agree.
I gave you one and you responded with 4...and well, here we are.

You want to dance, I can play that game too.
Or we can just agree we're both stubborn and move on, whatever you want.

You downvoted me multiple times, then I responded.

All future dances will have me returning fire 2 for 1.

Your call.

Maybe a dark horse here...

But the bread at the Macaroni Grill dipped in olive oil with a little fresh ground pepper was/is fantastic.
I don't remember if it was Italian bread (probably) or sourdough.

Click the link to see the original discussion. It was a thread hijack by me and it was fan-freakin-tastic (and very funny).

This thread never had a lot of promise to begin with - let’s face it, how good can mass produced bread to a nationwide consistency really be? - but it got really bad, really fast. Congratulations to you both.

I did a thread search, but nothing had come up. The original list was more extensive and detailed.

I was gonna mention Carraba’s bread that they serve with the olive oil and herbs. This brought it to mind. Pretty dang good.

I didn’t want to say anything and be that guy. So thanks.

I enjoy all three equally, and literally just as often.

As much as I love those cheddar biscuits, I'm going unconventional here and choosing roadhouse yeast rolls but with 1 caveat - they are covered in the roadhouse cinnamon butter. That puts them over the top imo, along with the fact that while tx roadhouse is a good place to eat, red lobster is absolute dogsht so I'm not going there anyway.

Anyone remember Quincy’s - Home of the big fat yeast role?
I was a kid so maybe they weren’t really that good but the slogan says it all.

Seems like Quincy’s was at the tail end of the steakhouses. I recall going to the one that was caddy-cornered from the Tallahassee Mall. The yeast rolls were pretty good and they’d keep them coming as long as you asked for them.

Yep, we had one on the corner of Timberlane and Thomasville Rd. I think it's a Sonny's now. I'd get the sirloin steak tips every time as a kid and fill up on the endless rolls before the food would come out.

Invalid poll without Piesanos garlic rolls. Basically AUCE and perfect.

i just read back into this thread. Fcknnn comedic gold...........aw hell, this thread on bread where some need a med or back to bed needs a story. Many years ago (the late 80) in the fishen village of Cedar Key there was a restaurant called the Heron. A legit good eatery at the end of the world beside the Gulf. The first Mrs Coach and I would do the weekend there in the high end condos by the dock. Island Place. So we go to this restaurant on the corner by the first stop sign as you get into CK. They bring this fresh baked pumpernickel bread with the feta cheese spread. Oh shttt I thought I had hit the jackpot. Then the blue crab bisque. NOW THAT was the real phknnn deal. I have never had it better and have looked. I threw in an Anchor Steam beer and I was living the life of the 1% (i thought)
