Get yourself some biscuts and gravy with fried chicken and get back to me with this awful take. I mean, c'mon, you live in soul food central. You're gonna take some bread with cold cuts over that? I mean, really?

Tell me you haven't eaten up north much without telling me you haven't eaten up north much, lol. Calling a hot pastrami sandwich on two slabs of rye, or a reuben sandwich the size of a vw beetle "some bread with cold cuts" is like referring to bbq as "meat with sauce". I mean, many neighborhoods up there have a mom and pop pizzeria with a product that rivals the best of most cities down here. Sure, the south has great soul food, but in general, even though the South is my home, it would be disingenuous of me to try to make an argument that the overall food comparison is that close.

p.s. we're slipping; it took 18 pages in this thread before we got to food

Since December 1st, the Canes are 24-4-3 for a .823 winning% over 31 games, many of those without either Andersen, Aho or Slavin.

They are 2nd in the NHL for Goals / GP (EDM is 1st)
They are 4th in the NHL for GA / GP (Boston, Dallas, NYR are 1-3)
PP% is 12th best
PK% is 8th best
Shots / GP is 2nd best
Shots allowed / GP is the best
FOW% is 5th best
Shooting % is 5th best

Raanta is 10-0-1 over that stretch
Andersen is 7-1-0 over that stretch
Kochetkov is 7-3-2 over that stretch, but has 2 shutouts, the best SV% and GAA of the three.

Team SV% isn't great though. Raanta: .903; Andersen: .907; Kochetkov: .911

Yeah, I've been typically going back to Black Friday when I look at this stuff, but it's pretty pretty pretty good. Hopefully they find the right pieces to keep it going.

Look at this way: maybe he just forgot who said it and couldn't be bothered to look it up.

Also: yes. It's a message board. Shit talking is literally its entire purpose.

Exactly "southern cooking" is grease and flour. So much authentic national foods to eat up north that don't make it here.

counter point. middle eastern food all tastes like an armpit. now Korean food....that's the good stuff.....can't go wrong with Bulgogi.

Might be thinking of Jordan Martinook. He had one back in Dec. Don't think Staal has though. Aho has 2.

Also...

Jeez he played it, lost it, got it back and played it again all with no bucket
Late to the party but initially I can see some logic given that Fast is the reason the helmet comes off maybe the Ref is thinking "well I can call both (which we've seen done before Martinnook) or call neither" But yeah once he continues to play it that needs to be called.

Maybe but you have German, real Italian, a bunch of different Asian styles, all kinds of stuff from Europe (Polish, Swedish, ect. ect.) made by people who either lived there or their parents lived there. A perfect example is in Cleveland there is a place called the west side market. A lot of it is fresh meats and veggies but there is a Gyro shop that makes nothing but Gyros and they are Greek people, the best Gyros you will ever have (they were featured on Man vrs Food, not as one of the challenges but if you are in Cleveland you have to have one of these) The pastry shops in there have old family recipes from different places. It just so much better, to have real authentic foreign food.

You also have a lot of "Little" cities up north (little Italy, Little China, ect.) and everything you will get there is authentic old world.

That's all well and good but why do you need that when you have White Castle and Sister's Chicken?

I don't know what you're talking about, my comments always age like fine wine.

You know, fine wine after it's been drunk and, er, processed.

I live in DC, which is really just part of the Northeast megalopolis, and have been 'up north' for most of my adult life at this point. Lots of great cuisines available, but I'll still stack southern food up against any one of them. A good sandwich is still a sandwich. I love a good rueben as much as anyone, but that's hardly all we're talking about there. When people from New Jersey brag about their hoagie culture, that's f***ing cold cuts on cold bread. Seriously, they and PA argue about Sheetz or Wawa. Slightly elevated gas station food is their idea of food culture. When people from New England brag about their special Italian grinders, that's f***ing cold cuts on cold bread. Cheesesteaks are hot, and they're great, but it's still a f***ing sandwich served with french fries. A lot of northern 'local delicacies' are just somewhat above average cold cuts. There are exceptions (like Buffalo Wings, but let's be honest, the original sauce is just 50/50 Franks and butter and is replicated at every chain in the country) but when you put them up against barbecue or soul food- just no.

There are pockets of truly great local food culture like Jewish delis or the North End in Boston, but those are pockets. Overall, the food culture has nothing on the south's barbecue joints and soul food.

You are the one talking about sandwich shops. When I talk about northern food im talking about walking into a real Italian joint in little Italy, getting Polish food at a Polish food joint, Gyro's made by Greek people. Not sandwiches. Also again Southern food (sans BBQ) is grease and flour if you get it from someone that really knows what they are doing they add a little pepper.

Glad you didn't mention pierogies in Parma. They suck. Now Slyman's has the damn biggest corned beef sandwich I have ever had. And I've been to the Jewish delis in NYC and many other places.
