BPs used to be an ok place for easy inoffensive food to take a family but I have found the "quality" is way down in recent years and the price is just always up and up and up. 

"Easy inoffensive food" sounds like a good slogan.

Why buy a burger, when I can have steak at home?

I used to really enjoy their za and wings, but you're right. It's unreasonably expensive

Others have better pizza and better wings. BP does have a good atmosphere, though.

One thing we can agree on ha ha

 

Gondola is my favorite pizza. Although the quality has slipped a little bit and it's ******* ridiculously priced.

Wings, I'm trying to think. I used to like Montanas wings a lot. Tavern is okay too. I always liked the oven roasted wings from bp

Gondola is highly dependent on location. It's my family's place and we have to order from this specific one and pick it up or it's hit and miss. 

I really love BP's boneless bites - they're my go-to. For actually wings, it was always Pony Corral and Jeffries. But it's been a long time and a couple of kids since my last wing night. 

At Xmas, I bought an air fryer. It's capacity is 13L . We've cooked steaks, pork chops, chicken thighs, wings & drumsticks. on it. Everything we've done has turned out great. Yesterday I cooked chicken legs for the first time & holy smokes were they good. They were done to perfection & moist. I know what I'm making for the Super Bowl.

With all the recipes online it makes cooking meals easier and I found that things come out far more consistent then when using an oven or frying pan.    

Oh, yes. I've used my air fryer almost every day for about 2 years now.

God damn air fryer steak is stupid good.

 

On the risk of being sacrilegious, its almost as good or even better than a BBQ.... fight me!

 

My new go to for pizza is Aladins on Portage. It's very similar to Santa Lucia minus the cost. 

I know everybody loves air fryers... but ya know, an air fryer is just a small convection oven

Our air fryer is great for reheating pizza- we preheat the oven and toss the slices in, and they come out crisp and tasting like fresh.

Spring rolls.

From frozen to deliciousness in 7minutes. I've stood at a urinal for longer than that.

My wife has 2 InstaPots and 2 air fryers....both get used a LOT in our household. The air fryers do up appies better and faster than anything...

Got my wife a Ninja grill, griddle, air fryer for Christmas this year and it's the most used appliance in the kitchen now. It's magic with food

Over here, it's 2 Airfryers, 1 InstaPot & 1 Sous Vide... she loves her kitchen gadgets.  I stick to the BBQ & Smoker for the most part but use the air fryer now and then.

I want an air fryer but I don't want another appliance. I already have an instapot that I don't use. 

I use our sous vide often. 

Food is entirely my responsibility at home. Purchasing and preparing. 

We really want a sous vide.

Tell me more.  How do you go about properly air-frying steak?  It's about to get too cold to BBQ.
