This is reasonable, adult response.
That said, at age 19 I likely would have hit the road within 20 minutes of discovering that Potato Oles were a mere 5.5 hours from my current location.

I get it.
I think the worst/best I can remember is in college, driving 40 miles for a (really good) gas station burrito.
I just checked, and they will now ship them to you - that's a lot less fun.
That shredded beef chimichanga, though!!
There is no such thing as casseroles in Minnesota.....only "hot dishes".
I had onion rings for lunch, tonight we are going out for pizza but you know damn well I’m grabbing some curds from Culvers for dessert
If done correctly, onion rings are superior. But it's very easy to screw them up.
I love potato ole's, but I never found a recipe online that was even close, so I went to the lab and put together something as close as I could get.
Also, one of the keys is you need to deep fry them or it's just not the same. There is also a slight sweetness to the seasoning that I couldn't pin for awhile. I tried a bunch of different sugars, but turns out it's MSG.
Give it a shot:
Potato Ole Seasoning:
1 T. Paprika
1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp. Onion Powder
1/2 tsp. MSG
1/8 tsp. Black Pepper (finely ground)
1 tsp. Celery Salt
1/4 tsp. table salt (don't use kosher/sea/himalayan/etc)
It's actually just a really good all around seasoning mix. Curious on anyone's opinion who tries it.

People always say Lawry's, but that's just due to Lawry's being really heavy in celery salt. Cayenne and Cumin are also out. I love cumin, and it's not in there. Cumin is too smoky of a flavor. Ole's are also not spicy at all. Cayenne pepper is a mild gradual heat you feel on the back end. People say Cayenne because it's red and they're dumb.
I posted a recipe a couple posts up that I spent too much time trying to figure out lol. But it's very close... you're never going to be able to replicate the real thing, because they're mass producing a spice mix that contains ingredients we don't even have access to buy.
Some of the best cheese curds I've ever had I got here. The burgers were also top notch.

JFC, you fatty ... can I tag along?I had onion rings for lunch, tonight we are going out for pizza but you know damn well I’m grabbing some curds from Culvers for dessert
This is how I do it. I experimented the other day and put jalapeño peppers in it. I loved it.
Congrats OP. Best thread I’ve seen here in awhile.
family over ruled me and we got whiteys ice cream insteadJFC, you fatty ... can I tag along?
It’s my cheat day 😎
I’m not a sweets guy but I’d shank someone for a whitey’s butterfinger malt right now.
I have never had a problem with the "pharting", but definitely agree with onion rings being the best. Unfortunately, most restaurants do not make their own, they use pre-made frozen ones. I make my own and think they are pretty darn good. I wash them in buttermilk and then coat them in flower. They are nice and crispy but not too heavy on the breading. Down here in Florida, cheese curds are not as popular as onion rings in my opinion.
Aren't you aware of the risks of ingesting the marijauana's?
I keed I keed.... buttermilk soak is key to any great onion ring.
6 cheeseburgers, 2 double hamburgers, large onion ring, large fry, and a large vanilla shake
I don't know, there might be something into mixing in some bud
. Do you season your flour? That takes it to the next level.
I haven't had Taco John's in many years. The potato oles used to have a squirt of hot sauce in the middle.
Delicacy amongst storm chasers if they make it to the Southern PlainsI get it.

T vs A and association with rings vs curds

I've had Ole's since... I don't know early 2000's and I've never seen this hot sauce squirt madness. This had to be a local store thing.
Also... hot take, **** the nacho cheese. Hides the flavor of the seasoning too much.
The poll lacks the option to choose neither, which would be the correct choice.
Curds and rings look, taste, and feel like something created when some dumbass kitchen manager forgot to order enough potatoes.

Just plain flour. I salt them after I fry them, and no dipping sauce (why mess up a good thing).I don't know, there might be something into mixing in some bud
