Then, it was always to Howard Johnson. The food there was OK but nothing
to brag about. Always seemed kinda sterile food to me.
Never even ordered a pizza back then. Pizza was always that boxed mix
from a grocery store. No real seafood either - fish was always those
frozen fish sticks. Steaks were always very thin and cooked to well done
and like shoe leather.
I never got good food until I moved out on my own.
This is why I loved McDonalds hamburgers so much.
I used my allowance once a week to go there.

You lived in a shit neighhood. Where I lived there were candy stores
that served great food at the counter, soups, sandwiches and burgers.
Growing up we ate out on average twice a week and the food was
excellent and very reasonably priced.
The Chinese restaurant served a full meal, all the hot tea you can
drink, a large bowl of white rice, Wonton Soup w/crispy noodles, Chow
mein, Egg Roll, Fly Lice, Ice Cream for dessert, Fortune Cookies... a
full meal with large portions, enough to bring some home... this
served at a table with a real linen table cloth and real linen
napkins, all for 35в and a customary 10в tip. I would treat my mom to
a Chinks lunch with my newpaper delivery money. This was the third
store from the corner of the block where we lived. The second store
in from the corner was an Italian restorant/pizzaria... a large pie
18", 8 slices, cost 75в, individual slices cost 15в, excellent pizza,
better than anything you can buy today at those chain pizza joints.
The corner store was called a Pork Store, a real butcher shop, served
great Cold Cut Heros... an 8 incher 25в. A photo of that corner with
those three stores was often featured in NY newspaper magazine
sections. This was in Brooklyn, 1950s. There was no McDs or any fast
food joints. Sid's Luncheonette served great burgers and fries. And
naturally there were Kosher Delis all over Brooklyn, more than you
could count, not to mention the Appys everywhere, and lots of street
venders selling all kinds of food... and I could ride my bike ten
minutes to Sheepshead Bay, the seafood capital of the world.

Very good steaks but I'll bet no restaurant would serve them that way
now. You could easily burn your hand on the plate if not careful.

end up well done as you eat.
I do recall watching a server in a steakhouse with a plated steak that
had a temperature probe. She stood watching it and when the proper temp
was hit she took off to the table.

concept of resting meat?
I remember when the Mexican restaurants would always bring out plates
with the server using a big towel or something to carry it by the edge.
"Be careful, the plate is very hot!". I would put my hand near the
plate and often could tell it was not so hot. I would just grab the
plate and say "what do you mean - its not hot at all!".

A lot of stuff is sold by the sizzle - the product might be ordinary stuff like a phone, or coffee, or a car but with an iPhone, or a Starbuck's coffee, or a Ferrari, you're mostly buying a dream of being smarter, richer, or more desirable. A sizzling steak might not be better than a regular steak but I'll always believe that it is.

i've never made it (i'm not much into hot oil frying these days).
the basic ingredients from what i've had is your everyday
egg drop soup, some fresh cut scallions to garnish. then as you
are serving it you put some very hot oil fried plain rice in it
while the oil is still hot enough to cause it to sizzle. there's
some techniques to all of that which i've never done so i can't
say how to do it without making a mess or burning myself. which
i'd probably manage to do. :)
hmm, probably another reason why i don't cook like this often. :)
the rice is flattened into a slab perhaps 2cm thick or so and
then fried. i'd guess peanut oil.
perhaps others have done this and can fill it in more. :)
