Ok, as a Swiss I have to comment here. The original raclette is from valais (a canton in Switzerland). There’s a special cheese for this called “Raclette du Valais”. Although we use a lot of different cheeses now. The cheese will be served as in your picture but over potatoes. Usually we also serve some pickles as a side dish, nothing more.
Edit: The drink for this is white wine or black tea. Everything else is frowned upon.

Awesome ! Thanks for the correction. Only over potatoes! Then it’s cheese and starch. So it’s not so far off from the nacho ball park cheese over corn chips I was giving a thumbs down then?? (KIDDING) it was 100x better.

My wife and I made carbonara for the first time. It was pure CHAOS. The recipe only has a few ingredients but you’re constantly moving stuff around and it’s supposed to happen rather quickly to be super good. We read that your first carbonara is always your worst bc your work flow will improve. It was not bad though (= Next time we will use one less full egg and one more egg yolk. The recipe called for 4 egg yolks plus 2 full eggs and we think one less egg white will be “more gooder.”

Not intending to dog on your food but that…doesn’t look particulary appetizing to me. 
Dude I love Chinese food and that looks so good, but no chop sticks?
It’s appearance may not be special, but don’t let that fool you.
I don’t have time for any of that, I’ve been waiting three years to eat here again. Give me a fork and I’m digging in!

I had a layover in Pittsburgh. Primante Bros Sandwiches are a must eat! They put the vinegar coleslaw and the fries on the sandwich instead of separate. It’s a left over method from when the town was nothing but steel mills. The guys worked hard and had short breaks and were always filthy. No time to eat and it not being practical to individually wrap fries plus plastic wear wasn’t in fashion yet lead to everything being made in the sandwich and then it was wrapped in paper. You could toss down a sandwich in 5 min if needed and you didn’t even have to wash your hands (gross right? 
)
I got the tuna and cheese and my colleague got the “Al Capone” which was a standard Italian sandwich with spicy Italian sausage added. It was funny to see that name on a menu in Pittsburgh, but we traded halves and both were delicious.

Been awhile since I posted but made Gua Bao buns with pork belly and my wife is mostly vegetarian so made her a sweet potato option. Carrot daikon slaw and peanut topping.
1st time making them from scratch.

. Home made tacos (not the tortillas, we bought those). No salsa bc we marinated the tacos overnight with a garlic salt rub. Way tasty.
