we were in florida for my wife's work/vacation and holy shit cubans make the most amazing food
there was also this place in Orlando, Ford's Garage, that was pretty neat and automotive-themed. Food was tasty as well, though pretty standard American fare.

pomelo green makes me irrationally angry and is the most awful special "color" VW has ever rolled out
It looks like "I don't drink enough water" yellow, and I swear I can smell it from the photos

I loathe it on the GTI's. And what sucks about it, is EVERY FUCKING AUTOBAHN TRIM IS POMELO YELLOW!!!
Like, a non-Pomelo Autobahn is rare is fuck. When I was considering my next car, and thought "Maybe I could do an MK8 GTI, but it would have to be an Autobahn..."
Every. Single. Fucking. One. In any bit near me, is fucking Pomelo.
And it's hideous.

Made the mistake of telling them to make my Vindaloo hot. His eyes bugged out of his head “hot?” - hot.
JFC - pretty sure I met Jesus at that table that night. Leftovers cranked it up to 17.

Excellent pun.
But if you're always getting the chicken, you are missing out big time. Lamb dishes are way better. Samosas are amazing. And what about the paneer? Chicken is just the entry point. Indian food is awesome.

Eat it first, don’t sully it with toe jam.

I hate the mk8 GTI exterior/frontend, and capacitive buttons are stupid. The logo revision also irritates me, because it doesn't touch the outer circle on all points. The R is slightly better, and I'd buy one as a daily. But I'm convinced the mk7/7.5 is the best generation as far as balance of performance, features, comfort, and price.
also @oddspyke insert Simpsons gif... All this time I've been petting them, when instead I should've been eating them! I've had some of the lamb dishes as well and the're delicious. I know there's a ton of stuff that I should try, but I keep getting won over by my memory of dishes that I know are delicious. Next time though, I might try a roll of the dice and trying something completely different.

My guess is that it's just every Autobahn they can't sell. I bet you could have gotten a sweet deal too. "I'm going to need you to knock off $4k to cover the wrap this car needs so I'm not embarrassed to drive it in public."

Agree on the front end. It's horrible.
However, capacitive buttons are dope. I realize I'm the minority with those feelings though.

Whenever I do Indian it's the Vegetarian sampler with a basket of bread.
