Nits.I read thru this laborious thread and OP, still not sure WTF it's about.
I still remember the Crawfish pasta (did i say that right?) and the never ending sausages at The Great Divide !!
Some good eating there
Toyed with the idea of a roller dog machine. Wife nixed the idea. Love Costco stuff tho
Just tell her it will feed the kids on poker night. What's she not keen on?It’s the idea of running a roller dog machine, and the wife wasn’t keen on it...
Until the accumulated grease explodes and sets your kitchen cabinets on fire. Or so I've heard.
My Mom has one of these - it's no roller grill but it actually does a good job
Just tell her it will feed the kids on poker night. What's she not keen on?
She’s not a fan of buffets, and would never do a gas station roller dog, and the las time I asked her about it, she nixed the idea. I wanted reaffirmation of her not wanting a roller dog machine. She is sitting next to me right now, and I just asked her about a roller dog machine, and she gave a green light. Looks like I’ll be in the market soon. Suggestions?
Craig, with the hotdog roller, I'm curious whether you provide chili. Hotdogs are easy, but I grew up believing that serving hotdogs without chili in Texas is a hanging offense, but that makes them messy and thus not suitable for poker in my mind unless eaten on a break so they can clean up afterward. How long does it take for the hotdogs to be ready with using the roller? That might be an option for our Main Event, but it might take two if it was only 18 at a time.
This Friday will be tequila lime marinated carne asada tacos + black beans and rice + homemade guacamole.

I'm my poker invitation email, I let folks know what I'm cooking for dinner at my monthly game. This Friday will be tequila lime marinated carne asada tacos + black beans and rice + homemade guacamole. I request a RSVP if players want to eat with the group, and I do ask once for food donations. I don't keep track of donations, and I don't really care if I come close to breaking even since I'm having friends over for dinner at my place. It's just a nice help since I host way more frequently than anyone else. Some players have a lifetime food donation exemption, like @chase for hooking @bivey and me up with Master's tickets last year at face value! @Mr. Cheese and I cover each other's food cost at our games.
Covering alcohol costs is where the expenses start to become highly variable, and I always state BYOB on the invite. Many hosts provide booze and request drink donations, but those who drink a couple beers end up subsidizing others who drink a pony keg. At my games, folks typically bring extra beers to share, and they leave the leftovers for next month. My liquor is fair game for anyone who plays. Others who play at my game, how do you think it works? @AllinBallin @palindrome
fresh hot dog
If you had a hot dog roller you would not have this problemThis thread is making me hungry

I don't actively avoid it - most guys grab a dog on break and stand around eating it while shooting the shit. When the guys do eat at the table, most sit back. If I saw someone eating one over the table I'd probably just correct it. Knock on wood, no spills or dropped food yet!Craig, thanks for the info! Even mustard, relish, and ketchup can get smeared all over tables, cards, and chips. How do you avoid that?
Clearly you are using the wrong search terms - try removing "SANDWICH" and you might have better resultsI have searched long and hard for a hot dog sandwich roller machine, to no avail.
Pretty much summed it up - except for the no condiment part - you heathen.I mean the beauty of a hot dog is you can fold your cards, get up, get a hot dog, eat it, and sit down before the next hand.
There's never a need for anybody to have the mustard drenched dog anywhere near the table.
Also I happen to think the best way to eat a quality hot dog is with no condiments at all, but that's just me.
.... they will stay warm for a few hours without burning and leaving a burnt mess to clean up. At setting 4-5 they heat up in under 10 minutes, but will burn them if you forget to turn it down....
