The Official "What's for Dinner" Thread!

[Gee!]

I went to A&W for the first time time in about 12 years.. While waiting for my food I wondered to myself what A&W stood for.. So, I went to that new fangled thing called the internet and found the answer....

One hot day in June of 1919 in Lodi, California an entrepreneur named Roy Allen mixed up a batch of creamy root beer and sold the first frosty mug of this delightful beverage for one nickel. Now, more than seventy years later, A&W Root Beer® is the world's number one selling root beer and is still mixed fresh daily and sold at hundreds of A&W® restaurants.

Allen purchased the formula for his root beer from a pharmacist in Arizona. To this day, the unique blend of herbs, spices, barks and berries remains a proprietary secret.

With the success of his first root beer stand in Lodi, Allen soon opened a second stand in nearby Sacramento. It was there that what is thought to be the country's first "drive-in" featuring "tray-boys" for curb side service, opened up.

In 1922 Allen took on a partner, Frank Wright, an employee from his original Lodi location. The two partners combined their initials - "A" for Allen and "W" for Wright and formally named the beverage, A&W Root Beer®. Three units were opened in Sacramento, then on to other northern and central California locations and to the states of Texas and Utah.

Made a charred corn, cherry tomato and avocado salsa for the plate, topped it with roasted black cod and topped the fish with a roasted chili, radish, red onion pico de gallo.

Delicious.

This forum has died. Whycome?

Cod is so good. I was considering making some Mac and cheese and incorporating cod in it somehow.

 

[schutd]

Don't know if you mean the classic "cod" or black cod also known as sablefish. Black Cod is absolutely the most buttery flaky perfect fish ever. It goes with everything. If you werent thinking particularly of black cod, go search it out. You will not be dissapointed.

Im addicted to mackerel right now, too.

 

[Mulli]

I like both cod and the black cod.

 

[schutd]

me too. I like to fry cod, I like to bake cod. I like to broil cod. Black cod costs so much more I hesitate to do anything with it other than roast it.

 

[Ryanwb]

I like both rod and the black rod.

I had a Red Baron pizza made in my pizza oven last night. I probably use my pizza oven as much as my microwave.
