Popeyes Bring Your Bun Chicken Sandwich
McRIB versus Popeyes ChicknSandwich
The McRIB
McDONALDS Answer to POPEYES and The CHICKEN SANDWICH WARS should be the McRib. There are Millions of fans of McDonalds tasty McRib Sandwich who just adore and can't get enough of it whenever they can get it, which is not often, since it's not on the permanent menu and is only available ever two years or so, which has had its legends of fans perplexed to the way McDonalds Corporation handles this much loved item.
If McDonalds wants to get in on the insanely hot craze of Fried Chicken Sandwiches, there anser should not be another chicken sandwich but the hugely popular McRib. It's always a Hot. "Do it McDonalds. We Miss our McRibs."

Chicken Sandwich Wars Popeyes vs Chickfila
A Yummy Popeye's Fried Chicken Sandwich
"YOU CAN'T HAVE ONE"
In this day and age and for a long time, there is always some sort of new craze and latest thing going on. In the late Summer of 2019 the latest new craze is fast food Popeye's Fried Chicken and their new Fried Chicken Sandwich and the Chicken Sandwich Wars going on between Popeyes and Chick-Fil-A over who has the Best Chicken Sandwich of all, Popeyes Won the War. Or did they. The war is not over, but it seems most people like Popeyes Fried Chicken Sandwich better than Chick-Fil-A who up to this point in time has been by far the undisputed King of The Chicken Sandwich in America. That was, until Popeyes came out with their own version of the Fried Chicken Sandwich which many feel is a whole lot tastier. The King has been dethroned. What do you think? We want to know.
Popeyes released their Fried Chicken Sandwich on August 12, 2019. The sandwich features a nice crunchy piece of Fried Chicken Breast on a Brioche Bun with Pickles and Mayonnaise. The sandwich comes in two versions, one with regular mayonnaise and one with spicy mayonnaise. Popeyes Chicken Sandwich was an instant success and followers quickly started a massive Buzz on Social Media for their Love of Popeyes Fried Chicken Sandwich. Debate over Chicken Sandwiches and whose is the Best and whose is not has dominated social media in the past few weeks, and just two short weeks after Popeyes launched their Chicken Sandwich, they announce the Sandwich was Sold Out and could not be had anywhere. People went nuts. One man in Houston Texas went as far to pull out a Gun and demand a Popeyes Chicken Sandwich at Gun Point. When will it come back. Popeyes promises, it will be soon. But when? If you go to the Popeyes website, it says CHICKEN SANDWICH Be Right Back. "But when?"
I myself have been a long time fan of Popeyes Fried Chicken. Their Fired Chicken and Bisquits are absolutely Great. They use fresh bought chickens, make it fresh, it's tasty and nice and crunchy, and their biscuits are to me, the Best in The Business. Popeyes is a great company. They make the best Fries around, rice, and other items too, including tasty Louisiana Fried Shrimp.
Dam I missed out on getting one of those Chicken Sandwiches, but like millions of people all across America, I'm waiting to sink my teeth into one of those tasty suckers just as soon as they come out. I'll be at Popeyes on West 14th Street in Greenwich Village New York to get mine. Heck I'll get two, or 3 or even four. I Love my Fried Chicken.
And speaking of Fried Chicken Sandwiches, and New York, we've got a great local one at Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken in the east Village of New York. They make the Best Fried Chicken in town, and of course an awesome Chicken Sandwich to boot.
So I wait with baited breath for my very own Chicken Sandwich from Popeyes. But until then, I think I'll go get one at Wendy's, then make a trip to Blue Ribbon Fried Chicken where I haven't been to in a while, and I'm due for a trip, especially now that I'm going crazy like everyone else, I want my Popeyes Fried Chicken Sandwich, I can't get one yet, so I'll settle for some others for now. Or better yet, I'll make one of my own with recipes in The Badass Cookbook will do me for now.Basta!
WENDY'S FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH
IT SUCKS !
Update : Well, with all the hoopla with the Chicken Sandwich Wars and missing out for now on trying the highly touted Popeyes Chicken Sandwich and Wendy's bragging about their sandwich, I figured I'd go over there and try one Chicken Sandwich at Wendy's. What a gip. "It Sucks." Not even close to being good. It reminds me of the very sub-par Chicken Sandwiches put out by both Burger King and McDonalds, they both suck, as does Wendy's, I'm sorry to say. I wanted it to be good, but no, it wasn't. No I haven't been so lucky yet to try Popeyes Chicken Sandwich
, but knowing how good the food is at Popeyes and by the looks of the sandwich in pictures, it looks Dam Good, and I'll bet it is. So, until that fine day when I get to finally sink my teeth into Popeyes Sandwich, I'll just Dream about it for now.

on the Mayor's Support of DiFARA PIZZA in Midwood
I'm usually with Governor Andrew Cuomo on most issues he's involved in, his polcies, and his running the State of New York. Govenor Cuomo is picking a fight with de BLASIO on his support of DiFARA PIZZA and its current problem with the state Taxaion Department and the issue of the DeMarco's family's unpaid taxes of their famous Pizzeria in Brooklyn.
Likd most New Yorkers in the know pizzaiolo Dominic DeMarco and his pizzeria DiFara Pizza is a beloved and cherished institution f New York City, and was shut down the other day for the delinquent taxes. This has outraged DiFara's multitude of fans of Dom DeMarco and his Pizza, of which many feel (as I do) is the BEST PIZZA in the city of New York.
The mayor loves DiFara and their pizza and has said that he wants to do anything he can to help the DeMarco family with their current tax problem, and to get DiFara Pizza opened once again. Thhe mayor never said anything about forgiving the business of their taxes due, but Governor Cuomo has butted in, insinuating that Mayor de Blasio wants to forgive the pizzeria of the taxes due, and that the Mayor doesn't have the authority to do so. The Mayor never said that that's what he wanted to do. He just said e wanted to help, and the people of New York are happy the mayor wants to help the DeMarco family get their pizzeria open again. "Get a Grip Governor, and stop twisting things around just to get i a fight with Mayor de Blasio and be against him. This is not what the people of the city of New York want. We want to see DiFara Pizza open, and as soon as possible. Why you fighting this Andrew? I;m surprised.
"We want DiFara! We want our Pizza!" Get Bent Governor Cuomo.

Bellino Makes a Better Burger than MinettaTavern
MINETTA TAVERN
Good Burgers, but Far From The Best
New York's Best Burger? Who makes it? Or who makes, plural, New York's Best Burgers. Well first off, Minetta Tavern does not make the Best Burger in New York. Far from it. And of the Burgers at Minetta Tavern, forget the highly overrated Black Label Burger, the Minetta Burger has it beat, though there are better Burgers in New York. For, one, the Burger I make at my house in Greenwich Village, just two blocks away from Minetta Tavern is far superior, a buch tastier burger than you'll get at Minetta Tavern., but there's one thing we have in common when making New York's best burger. And the Burger I make in my house is way Better than the Burgers at Minetta Tavern.
So what's the difference you ask? And you want to know what it is I have in common with the Burgers at Minetta Tavern? The thing I have in common with Minetta Tavern when making my Burger that is without question one of the Best in New York, and for a whole lot less money (about $3.10). Yes, thing that Minetta Tavern has in common with me, in our Burger making, is that we both buy our meat from pat LaFrieda, it's just that I use the better blend than Minetta Tavern. The Black Label Burger Blend by Pat LaFrieda is made with Dry Aged Beef, which though people would want you to think otherwise, dry aged beef is one of the worst things you can use to make a burger. Dry Aged Beef is old meat, and is actually meat that is deteriorating. It's much better to use fresh beef when making a burger, and that's all their is to it, and Minetta Tavern uses Dry Aged Beef for its Black Label Burger. Not good.
I have in the past year used numerous sources to buy ground beef for my burgers. I buy meat from one of the best Butcher Shops in New York, which is Florence Prime Meat Market on Jones Street in Greenwich Village. I've been buying Sausages, and Steaks from this great old Italian Butcher, which to me is the best butcher shop in all of New York. I mostly bought steaks here, and it's relatively recently that I started buying ground beef to make burgers with. I was there buying myself a Newport Steak (Specialty of The House) one day, when I watched an elderly neighborhood lady getting individual Hamburger Patties made for her. I started chatting with here about the burgers, and she said she loved them, so I said I'd get some of them, my next time at the butcher shop, and so I did a couple weeks later. I've tried both the chuck and the sirloin ground beef from the market. They both made fine burgers.
Trader Joe's recently opened in my neighborhood, and I've tried a couple different types of their ground beef (80/20 and 85/15 ratios), and they both made pretty good burgers.
Today, I wanted to get a couple burger patties from Florence Prime Meats, but they were closed when I got there, so I made my way over to Grestide's. I went to the meat counter and spotted Pat LaFrieda's Burger Blend made with Beef Brisket, Chuck, and Beef Short Ribs. There were 4 Patties in the package, for $8.99, at $2.25 a Burger, it's more than I normally spend, but if I can get a better burger it will be well worth it. I'm still trying to get a Burger to taste as good as the ones I made from the meat that my cousin Joe gave me, that was a package of 4 Black Angus Burger Patties from Wayside Market in Southhold, New York, on the North Fork of Long Island. The Burgers I made with that meat, may very well be the Best Burgers I've ever had in my life. "I kid you not," and I have witnesses to back me up on this. Anyway, I wanted to see if this Burger Blend from pat LaFrieda could come close, or dear I say, be better than those Burgers made with the Black Angus Patties from Wayside Market.
So I bought the burger blend and headed on home. I got my stuff ready. I sliced some New York Cheddar Cheese, and sliced some onions. I toasted and buttered an English Muffin, heat my pan, poured in a bit of oil, and threw my burgers in to cook. As the burgers were cooking, I put a little dijon Mustard on one side of the Muffin. I seasoned the burger with salt, and flipped it over to the other side. Then I seasoned the top side with salt and black pepper. The Burgers cooked another 4 minutes, and then I turned the heat off and let the burger rest for 3 minutes before putting it on top of cheese on on side of the muffin. A put a little nob of butter on top of the burger, then a little Ketchup before topping the Burger with the other half of the bun. I put it on the plate and brought it to the table. I grabbed the burger, bit into it, and from the very first bite, I htought "Wow," it was a dam good burger, and better than any of the meat I'd bought in the past year, including Florence Prime Meat. Wow, this was impressive, and the Pat LaFrieda meat was well worth the bit more than I paid for it, and a real bargain when you consider that a McDonald's McDouble cost about $2.69, and a superior burger like this, with more meat, cost just about .35 Cents more than the inferior McDonald's Cheeseburger. Dam!
Yes, I loved the burger. This Burger that I just made at my house was without question better than almost any burger I've had in New York. my Cheeseburger was better than The Black Label Burger at Minetta Tavern, or the Minetta Burger, it's better than the Shake Shack Burger which I normally love but wasn't that happy with their burgers the last two times I was at Shake Shack (Mine is Better). My Burger tasted better than the JG Melon Cheeseburger (I Love), but not better than the Burger I had at Charle's Prime, which was the only Burger I've had in New York City that was better than the Burger I made at home.: But as good as this burger I made at home with the Pat LaFrieda Burger Blend, "it was Dam Good, but not as Good as the Burger that I made at home with the burrgers from that box of 4 Black Angus Patties from Wayside Market of Southhold, NY.

DBZ BURGER
CRAFTED by DANIEL BELLINO ZWICKE
Classic, "It's all about the Meat ? Properly seasoned with Salt & Black Pepper. nicely browned,
place on a toasted Bunm with CHEESE, Pickles, a bit of Ketchup, and Mustard if you like, and that's it"
No Muss, No Fuss. The ground beef must be of the highest quality, and with a fair amount of fat for flavor.
These two points are key. You should buy Prime Ground Beef if you can, it's worth the extra money.

SAUCE or GRAVY ?
WHAT DO YOU CALL IT ?
Italian-American sauce (Gravy) made with Sausage, Meatballs, Braciole, and maybe Pork Neck, Pork Spare Ribs, Veal Shank, and whatever each individual who is makig it, likes to put in it. Each Italian Family has there own special way of making this the most Supreme Dish of the Italian-American Table.
It's made each and every Sunday by hundreds of thousands of Italians all over America. It's served with short maccheroni pasta of the family's choice. It can be with Rigatoni, Ziti, Cavatelli, or which ever pasta is chosen. Most families serve the meats with the pasta, but some serve the pasta with a little sauce (no meats) dressing the Maccheroni as one course, and after serving the pasta this way, they serve the Braised Meats as the main-course on thier own. No matter how you do it, it's delicious just the same. Enjoy, e "Mangia Bene" Sempre.
