Texas Roadhouse, the American steakhouse chain that pays homage to the Lone Star State, isn't just famous for its delicious, yeasty rolls, its wide range of appetizers, or its mouthwatering range of steaks (which we've conveniently ranked). In fact, some of the chain's best menu items are unusual offerings for a fast-casual restaurant, like grilled salmon or smothered chicken.

Chef, author, and Food Network personality Bobby Flay has plenty of hot takes. He despises fancy burger upgrades, adds oregano to his not-so-classic guacamole, and even eschews ice when mixing together a margarita. But when it comes to a certain spring vegetable, his stance is one that's more universally acknowledged. "A lot of chefs will tell you that frozen green peas sort of trump fresh peas," he shares in a collaboration with Misfits Market on Instagram.

In this day and age, fast food joints are practically required to have a signature sauce to stand out in a crowded field. Chick-fil-A's signature sauce has a mustard and barbecue base. In-N-Out's "spread" is akin to Thousand Island dressing. Shake Shack's signature Shack Sauce goes heavy on the mustard and pickle brine.

Ketchup has a few very famous friends: mayonnaise, hot sauce, mustard, and pickle relish to name a few. Sweet, a little tangy, and full of nostalgic flavor, as a condiment, it's one of a kind, yet it's still plenty ripe for experimentation. When we ranked popular ketchup brands, the American classic Heinz came out on top thanks to its pleasantly sugary, familiar flavor.

We're not afraid to admit it — we're obsessed with the rolls served at Texas Roadhouse. Not only do they top our ranking of the best free bread at any chain restaurant, we also took the time to investigate what makes Texas Roadhouse rolls so delicious.

Tomato pie comes in many forms and flavors. You can build a true double-crust pie with a savory tomato-corn filling, make a tomato tart with goat cheese (or another underrated cheese) and fresh herbs, or create a quiche-like confection with tomato, eggs, and ricotta. But no matter what type of crust you make or how you slice it, your tomato pie creation will always be threatened by the tomatoes themselves.
