was this a thing 7-10 years ago?

i dont recall anything boasting all these different aiolis and shit. Now every neighborhood shit restaurant tries to cram random stuff into an aioli blend.

"a coconut-cumin aioli"

very strange

The Rockford had a killer aioli for their crab cake sandwich at least a decade ago. No idea about these neighborhood restaurants that you speak of though.

9/10/2013 4:13:46 PM

was it a "roasted garlic-lemon-old bay aioli"?

9/10/2013 4:15:21 PM

whats this word

9/10/2013 4:19:47 PM

this totally pisses me off

9/10/2013 4:21:40 PM

I, too, have pondered this. I assumed it was just places trying to throw a fancy word on the menu to make crap dishes sound better, because the majority of the populace has no clue what aioli is.

Its tasty mayonnaise.

I don't think I've ever had it without at least a little bit of horseradish or dijon mustard but wikipedia says that it is, in fact, just tasty garlicy mayo.

omfg

can you believe that people eat different food than they did 7-10 years ago?

me, I just stick to weavil-ridden hardtack and rancid salt pork
good enough for great grand-dad is good enough for me

That's a pretty cynical assumption

A good aioli with french fries I'd delicious.

9/10/2013 4:52:52 PM

It's just fancy mayonnaise.

9/10/2013 4:57:51 PM

bougie mayo

9/10/2013 6:14:47 PM

all these bougie hoes eatin they fancy mayonnaise



seriously been around for years, I think people are just finally calling it what it is instead of "fancy flavored mayo"

9/10/2013 6:19:58 PM

"served on toasty ciabatta bread"

9/10/2013 6:21:46 PM

a hearth baked pretzel roll served with a dijon salted-mustard-fennel aioli

9/10/2013 11:35:51 PM

Man now I want to go to chucks

9/11/2013 8:52:11 AM

^^

White bread spread with mustard and garlic sauce?

9/11/2013 8:55:40 AM

It was a thing then, it was just in the up market places. It's every where now.

9/11/2013 12:19:50 PM

Is this the new Tira Misu?

9/11/2013 1:59:53 PM

I've seen it popping up on a lot of menus lately. It's nothing new but I do think it's the condiment of choice to make a restaurant sound more sophisticated than it is.

9/11/2013 10:34:43 PM

To be fair, aioli is a distinct thing.

What drives me nuts is seeing shit like "pommes frites" and "haricot vert" on menus.

9/11/2013 10:49:42 PM

that malt aioli at chuck's is no joke

9/11/2013 11:09:13 PM

what the bloody hell is an aioli

9/11/2013 11:41:54 PM

There are some really random aioli a out there drizzled onto random shit lol
