Food--unless there's already a thread!

This forum is for talking about non-music-related stuff that the DBT fanbase might be interested in. This is not the place for inside jokes and BS. Take that crap to some other board.

Food--unless there's already a thread!

Post by John A Arkansawyer »

What draws us to seek pleasure and solace in places often referred to as joints and shacks? Is this about time travel? Are they portals to a Southern past? Is it rooted in class difference, and a want to span that chasm?

The sooner we put those assholes in the grave&piss on the dirt above it, the better off we'll be

What's wrong with the food just tasting good?
