How do 50 year olds who live in NY not know what pho is?

Maybe because Bob not only mispronounced it, the idiot thinks it's from Japan...

Bobby actually pronounced it properly and then spelled it. He did call it Japanese though which is completely idiotic. Jim had never heard of it. I live in Las Vegas and there's Pho restaurants everywhere and I'd assume more so in NY.

It's fuh not fah

It's leviofuh not leviofah

That's more clever than anyone will ever give you credit for.

Harry Potter references are clever now?

That one was.

Nerds!

Fuh or fah are at least closer than the literal fo

I live in unremarkable suburban southeast and I know what Pho is.

This is a reminder that although we should be thankful for Jimmy's recent service, the dude has no interests or thoughts on anything other than his work and celebrity photos. A classic one-track mind.

yeah he is dummer than my car, because it has 8..... tss

His fridge has brown mustard and 2 bottles of water. He eats salmon, salad, and almonds. That. Is. It. And cock.

maybe Charlie didn't make it that far east

Wasn't Jim there when Rich said Paux Fas? I recall Ant making at least one pho joke.

Pho Kim Long for life.

Jim's also said multiple times that he's never tried Indian food because he's afraid he'll get sick.

I think I remember them all having an Indian food conversation as if it was some major foreign food.

When they had Bourdain in, Jimmy asked him if he could recommend an Indian place in NYC that was safe to eat at.

It always struck me how they would shit on Roland regarding food. These are grown men living in the country's best food scene and they experience none of it.

And they have money too. Listening to them talk about sushi is also embarrassing. You can tell Jim is a guy who orders California rolls.

Bobby told a story once about eating overseas at one of the top rated places in the world. Jimmy was shocked it cost like 3 bills. That's really not that much for a top tier restaurant.

Cali rolls ain't bad.

They may not be bad, but it would be like going into an Italian restaurant and ordering buttered noodles. Take those training wheels off your bike Big Cat!

Agree. I get Cali rolls if I am getting something from my local grocery and I dont trust the freshness of anything else. Going to a "good" sushi place and ordering that is gayer than Jimmy.

lol

Roland's foodism is a shameful vice. They both deserve mockery.

If you live in NYC and don't take advantage of the food then you're truly an asshole. It's the only good thing about this awful city.

Of course. There's a difference, however, between taking advantage of the food and Roland's shameful practice of justifying his bloat with snobbery.

Yes I think we can both agree that Roland is a fat faggot.

Hear hear!!!

I'll bet you post pictures of your food on social media, don't you? Why do you care about someone's fucking palette? Do you talk about the nuances breathing patterns too? Foodies and conversations about food are so god damn boring. 'Oooh! the orange zest speaks to the garnish presentation in such a playful way!' Fuck off

I like pizza, mexican food, thai, sushi, burgers and grays papaya. My favorite beverage is coca-cola. Isn't that SO interesting?

Is this you trying to imagine what it would be like to have friends who enjoy food? No one talks like that.

Not really. What's interesting about a poor schmuck with no taste?

Everyone enjoys food, gourmondo. Sorry my jokey jab used some exaggeration. Your ritzy refined taste is not interesting either. Yet you think it's important and are as defensive as i figured you'd be

Good use of alliteration, fatso.

Calling me a chink would have struck a nerve just like fatso did, you fucking...defensive dudley.

I like pho, but it makes me just wish I went to a ramen place instead.

I prefer pho over ramen. But you have to find the right pho place. It's all in the broth

Yup. u/Opprobriousness if you're in nyc, dm me and I'll recommend some really good pho places.

If you're in NYC, go to one of the dozen ramen places that are better than the best pho shop.

Just curious now, what's your favorite Pho spot?

So I used to love Ramen and I used to eat it all the time. Then I started hating how gross I felt after a bowl of tonkatsu :/. I've eaten at Ippudo, Hide-Chan (my old fav), Ivan Ramen, tried a few different chefs at Ramen Lab etc etc. It's good, but I always regret it later.

My favorite pho place is Pho Rainbow in Staten Island. But who the fuck wants to go to SI? Other than that - Nha Trang One in Chinatown, An Choi in LES, and to a lesser extent, Pho Hoai in Bay Ridge BK.

Also, if you're just trying to do bahn mi with an avocado milkshake, Ba Xuyen in Sunset Park is amazing and super cheap. They also have a soup that's similar to pho that is really good, but I'm blanking on what it's called.

I'm never going to the SI or Bayridge one, but I'll throw the other 2 on the to check out list.

I'm very neutral on Bahn Mi. I like them, but it's no better than your generic american sandwich.

Yeah I'm not crazy about Bahn Mi but it's cheap and also pretty great for dunking into pho or a similar soup. By itself, not crazy about it.

The bahn mi is not a...standalone...standalone sandwich.

Because in reality, Tits, Zits and the Worm are unaware and just as mentally ill as they claim each other to be.

Sam is 30+ and eats chicken nuggets and cheese pizza while obsessing over wrestling. Lets not leave him off the list.

Sam will be a bloated mess before he's 40. Look at how terribly he's aging. All that processed food is slowly killing him.

There is a place 20 minutes outside of Milwaukee called Pho King Vietnamese Cuisine.
They wouldn't get it.
