The smell was great, but the garlic was just too over the top (too much used) and I had regrets...

This caused me to read some not great news about Chinese garlic. It comprises around 80% of garlic sold and it can be not great if you believe the stories.

Two articles recommend to look for Californian grown garlic.

When I'm doing something like prime rib, I like to cheat by using the minced garlic from a jar. It makes it nice and easy and it's hard to put too much on.

I chopped up some leftover chicken and then chopped up a few cloves of garlic and cooked that in white rice.

It came out pretty good

Fuck it's scary man

grown in feces...contains poison...fertilizers are high in chemical content left in the plant...

Leave my garlic alone!

I got a "porterhouse for 2" with my wife at 'Longhorn Steakhouse' once.. They cut the head off a garlic bulb and grilled that thing and put it on the plate.. God damn that thing was good squeezed on my steak..

Best use of garlic I've had was at a restaurant called The Keg (steak and seafood place).

They had an appetizer called escargot in garlic stuffed mushrooms and those snails were heavenly. They used garlic liberally and some other mystery herb in the butter sauce...

Bit of a sad story. The Keg would be classified as a slightly upper end restaurant. About 7 out of 10 on the price vs food scale. It was considered a treat for the family.

My Dad took our entire family there along with my cousin, Aunt and Uncle. Auntie's salad arrives and there's a big green caterpillar crawling on it. She was raised and lives on a farm, so she just laughed it off and asked my Dad not to make a fuss.

Waiter comes around, Dad makes a fuss and asks for the manager. Manager arrives and makes a lame joke - "Well we won't charge you any extra for it! Har har..."

Then the manager says - I'll see what I can do to make this right for you. Dad says - Yeah you probably should as we come here often.

We all had ordered appetizers, either tenderloin steak alone or steak and seafood...which is very spendy up here. And the adults had ordered some white wine, about two glasses each.

They ended up comping some...of the appetizers. Dad talks to the manager again and says - These are my guests and that's the best you can do after we found a live worm (caterpillar) in our food?? Manager then says - Maybe I can get the wine taken off the bill and he walks away.

Dad paid, walked out and never went back there again. Come to think of it, neither have I.
