Let`s hope not.

Imagine how annoying the waiter would be. Asking you diet advice and all sorts of pointless questions.

ROFLMAO!!!!

02/27/2008
I ordered an omelet, and the waiter asked me "Whole eggs, or egg whites only?" I responded, "Whole eggs, please" and the waiter looked at me, made a face, and said "No, you want egg whites." Ummmm...that's not okay with me. Also, the omelet was mediocre, as were the fixin's. Overpriced for what it is.

That is a disgrace. What was the waiter thinking!

The Firehouse is a great place to eat for those who are dieting and staying in shape.

The food is good but its not going to be 5 star obviously because it is health food so they are not cooking with fatty oils or meats which is what gives food flavor. The point of the place is to be able to enjoy a decent meal out with your buddies without worrying about tommorrow's photo shoot, modeling gig, or bodybuilding contest.

My fav is the Bodybuilder's Breakfast

Before criticizing the place TA and others...try eating there first

you like penises though so you're a bit biased about restaurants with a bodybuilder theme.

Dumb reasoning.

You can eat whatever you want and be super ripped.

Vince G puts himself through all sorts of dieting madness only to look terrible on stage.

Maybe he would benefit from following a simpler program for fat loss like the Adonis principles.

While I do agree with you that a calorie is a calorie (Remember my comparision about a bucket of KFC being of less calories than Dogcrapp's protein diet)....at the same time, I don't want to eat a whole bucket of chicken. I honestly don't like Fast Food....I hate it

All I'm saying is that the Firehouse is a decent restaurant and the food is actually good and healthy. The Bodybuilder's Breakfast is the best and I like to have berries on the side of my multi-grain pancakes.

One thing I will point out is that you can now have scrambled egg whites and a multi-grain waffle at the Waffle House for much less so they may want to ease up on the price. Plus the Waffle House waffles are much tastier

Just eat there first before passing judgement.

considering how lazy bodybuilders are, it would be next to impossible to run a business using these types of people...They wouldn't show up to work half the time, and the other half, they would either be "on a break" or on the phone...

The Adonis method has not been tested onstage in a bodybuilding contest.

I can't name that many bodybuilders but I've heard of people dieting and eating junk food throughout.

All I was saying that maybe you would be in a better condition than what you have achieved in the past, using the Adonis principles. It seems the diets you put yourself on are either ineffective in theory or you are not sticking to them.

I have hundreds of issues of Gourmet, Bon Appetit, Saveur. Professional Cookbooks of all kinds. Tons of Food and Restaurant review articles from the LA Times, NY Times etc...

NEVER ONCE have I heard a thing about The Firehouse. I can`t even name a chef that works there or has worked there.

This leads me to believe it is overrated crap. Am I correct? What is it like and what is on the menu?

Notice how Adonis throws this crap in posts to make him sound cultured and classy? He wants members to believe that he has an interest in fine dining as if he knows anything about the topic at all.

Superficially, this post appears to be asking a question about the Firehouse. In reality, it is his method to send the message that he is interested in such things as gourmet cuisine and fine dining.

Don't believe a word of it. Adonis is a total fake.

DeadSquatPress · « **Reply #68 on:** October 19, 2008, 11:20:34 PM »

all chains are overrated crap. if the restaurant you go to has used the same menu for over a month, it's probably crap too.

First, they don`t sell egg white omelets at fast food for a simple reason. Fucking things suck and are disgusting.

Are you saying the distingtion between "clean" food and "junk" food was made by masochists who prefer digusting grub over delicious food?

That's not the question.
The question is has any bodybuilder ever seriously tried and failed?

Emeril's restaurant in new orleans is really overrated as well. The menu is a la carte and grossly overpriced. i bought some roasted duck and a bisque and a glass of the house wine and i spent around $100. The experience there would have been good if Emeril, who was actually there on that day, would have kindly given me his autograph. He didn't.... his whole excuse was that he was at the restaurant to relax and not work. I guess signing a piece of paper is considered "work" in New Orleans.

How could is be over rated when you think that McDonald's has good quality food?

Excellent point Jim

The Firehouse is a place where you can buy meals in line with a conventional bodybuilding diet combined with a social environment relevant to the industry. It was never intended to be a gourmet restaurant you fucking idiot.
