Bringing these back because I've gotten a lot of fan DM mail with ppl missing these last season or so. Just couldn't really get pumped about the Baers for some reason last couple years but NOW I AM BACK BABY for at least the first few games.

Now much like the Bears team, I'll be disciplined with my efforts but to start out this season I'm not fully cemented with identity. Years passed, I would always try to get something going menu-wise that showed some appreciation for the local fare of the opponent.

This week in discussing with fam, tacos were turned down because we eat a lot of tacos. Homemade rice-a-roni (Armenian pilaf) was intriguing but the main - lamb kababs, was out the window because we had lamb barbacoa this week and I'm out of the lamb we like. Tuna Poke bowls? While super popular in San Fran, it's not really their thing, and kiddos felt it was too healthy.

So guess what? **** San Francisco food. I'm making wings. I'm making poutine.


For the wings I have air chilled organic pasture chicken wings. None of that meat bathed in a shitty "brine" after slaughter. Air frying those from frozen, tossed in a little olive oil, for like 25 minutes until fried "hard"

Then I'm hitting them with Aldi's "red hot" knockoff, infused with grass fed butter and various sauces i've fermented from peppers I grew this season - thai chilis, scotch bonnets, ghost, cayenne. Want it to be HOT but bearable. Making homemade bleu cheese dressing with my own mayo, bleu cheese, pepper, garlic, dill, onion and a little buttermilk.


Poutine? Mandolin cut fries from big ass baking potatoes, fried twice in peanut oil. Cajun rubbed cheese curds. Homemade gravy using some frozen truffle infused demi-glace i got from wildforkfoods delivered. Might throw some bacon and frozen peas in there too even though @Grimson called me Special person when I suggested this. If not, definitely a bunch of scallion for a little freshness.


That's it. wings, poutine. FOOTBALL

My wife and I are in the middle of packing up our house for a move so our kitchen is pretty bare right now. However, as we are all aware of the massive Asian influence in San Francisco, I will be ordering some sushi. If I had the correct cooking utensils, I'd probably make a pho.

Ty for this. Wife made homemade French fries and was supremely pissed that they were garbage. I will remind her to double fry those tasty lil spuds.

OT-headed to Chicago right now for a boys trip. I know it's touristy AF, but any good eats near Wrigley? Also, which concession stand at SF has the most authentic corn dogs?

TIA!

Not to mention making sourdough bread is not a trivial process (even if it is delicious).

Prepping with some home grown organic living soil buds. Probably Triple Scoop as it is pretty tasty in the vape after a 6 month cold cure.

Gochujang chicken sliders on brioche buns with pickled carrot, cuke and daikon slaw.

Zesty cheese Doritos (don't hate), spicy dill pickle kettle cooked potato chips for snacking and some local craft stouts or IPAs (maybe both?) to wash things down.

I will be sticking to the KISS(Keep It Simple Stupid) principle.

Most likely just guac and buffalo chicken dips. Thanks.

My wife subtlety pointed out that literally all of my pizza fixings are on sale literally everywhere, so I will not look a bargain tomato sauce in the mouth and do Pizza Sunday.

Maybe a shoutout to my South Side roots and attempt to imitate the "breakfast pizza" from Vito & Nick's.

I came across a dough recipe that uses beer I found intriguing and completely justifies me cracking open beers before noon.

I don't see a predictions thread anywhere, so my optimism is at its peak rn. Shanarat Jr almost got out coached by Matt Nagy last year, I think the Bears win this one., especially if Kittle is out. Deebo gonna Deebo but our secondary is a lot more physical this year. Not so worried about the DL since the Armani Watts., that was a steal.

Bears 27
Niners 13

For food, idk. Grill up some ribeyes probably.

Popsicles - wisdom tooth issues, waiting on surgery. I'm 45.
Brutal, hope your surgery goes well. When I got my wisdom teeth taken out in high school, they didn't use enough numbing medicine so I basically got all 4 teeth pulled with minimal numbing medication. I looked like I got the shit kicked out of me for a month afterwards lol.

As for the thread topic, I have to work so alas, I will probably just order some Dominoes cheesy bread and call it good. The whole 10 am kickoff time in the pacific time zone is still something I'm not totally used to.

I might make some turkey burgers for the wife and myself on Sunday. I already made a spicy chicken BBQ pizza(which is probably ofered by California Pizza Kitchen) at work today (BBQ sauce in place of tomato sauce, 3 spicy chicken breasts, mozzarella cheese, and sliced red onions).

Gonna try something other than grilled cheese which didn't work much last year.

Chicken thighs soaked in Italian SAUCE smothered with a variety of Italian spices.
