    To be totally honest, sometimes I find food theory to be more intertaining than matpat's other channels just because not only is it one of the most relatable because well, it's literally about FOOD, but also because it tends to be the most light-hearted of all.

      @@HH-le1vi Not necessarily true. There are measures one can take to "reset" without too much collateral, or in cases of booms it could happen naturally, but the main issue is that you can't compare today's economy to the prices of prior economies without adjusting for inflation and income increases. In general, though income inequality remains a growing issue, the US has experienced constant and steady inflation that is usually on par with or outpaced by the growth of income due to said inflation, so it's not completely fair to compare a chicken sandwich from the early 2000s to one today in price, because when adjusted for inflation they come out fairly similar. Though that said, it is true that over the prices have begun to creep up noticeably past what you could've gotten a decade prior for the same value of money, and the pandemic certainly didn't/doesn't help.

    The packaging discussion got me thinking maybe MatPat will do a "best way to pack your lunch" theory? Especially for sandwiches... what's the best way to keep your buns dry and veggies crisp for hours? I also think a tuna/egg salad sandwich (rather than a chicken sandwich) should be considered to determine how to stack your sandwich to minimize sogginess.

    • @blakesuperior3578
      @blakesuperior3578 Před 2 lety +4

      For egg/tuna salad sandwiches put a leaf of lettuce on each side this prevents the saucy inwards from turning your bread into a soggy mess by lunch while also providing a crunch for a more satisfying sandwich. For your veggies put them in a little sealable bowl like container filled with ice water this chills them which slows down them degrading from heat while also keeping them underwater away from oxygen that degrades them quickly as well.

      Heat a pan with a light amount of oil(olive is my preference) until a drop of water sizzles in the pan, and toss in the fries. After tossing the fries in the pan with a spatula for a few minutes serve and eat.

      Depends on the fries. Air fryer is good for traditional fast food fries. But, in my opinion, for steak fries, like from Red Robin or Friday's, you cannot beat sauteing them.

    as a former* wendy's employee, I can say that calling the classic chicken sandwich a "new sandwich" is a bit of a technicality because all we did was add pickles. that's it. every other part of it is the same. just two thin pickle slices.

    I love the Chic-fil-a app. There's always a huge line in the drive thru and usually inside too. But you just order on the app and you tell them when you are pulling in the lot. You run in and in a minute or two they bring out your food. You can be out of there scoffing at the folly of those still in the lines that got there before you did.
