My uncle got me a vintage carbon steel butcher knife from a flea market years ago. It looked rough but after a good sharpening it became my go-to for trimming brisket. The way it handles fat is just different, like it wants to slide through. I still use it for smaller jobs even though the handle is a bit loose.

Yeah, "my buddy's crew" is the key. It's always second-hand advice. People love repeating what they heard from some guy who knows a guy. See it all the time with car repairs or home fixes. They get a half-truth and run with it like it's the only way.

Ugh, that's so shady. Does the app at least let you add the cheapest thing on the menu, like a side of beans, or does it have to be a main item? I'd be mad if I had to buy a whole combo just to unlock a "free" side.
