What They Ate
Quotes
"The mac, slaw, potato salad, all very solid, but the barracho beans, honestly, cooked with jalapeno, bacon, and beer. Top contender bean."
"Ooh, damn, totally different f***ing bean. The person who made these beans, f***, like a pork ramen tonkotsu of beans."
"Top contender, might be the best beans on the trip."
"Sadly, the lean was probably one of the driest I think I've ever had, and we really didn't love how thick it was cut."
