Screw advanced metrics on this - clearly the eyeball (or taste bud) test is the only one that really works with cole slaw - box plus/minus be damned!

Cole slaws w/ minimal mayonnaise are amazing! Too much and it ruins it!

Going to post one of these per day during the slow season, called Hav’s Weird Thought. Hopefully it will generate discussion, family discourse, and a slap fight between Juwan Howard and Will Smith:

If Grayson Allen had come to UVA, would he have been the same villain he is viewed as today?

Yes, especially when it comes to slaw-adjacent foods like Salvadoran curtido, or the Haitian pikliz, both of which you can get excellent versions of in Cville.

No, because he would have been our douche bag, not Duke’s, and we probably would have had another natty. CTB would have moderated Grayson’s on-court issues whereas K simply let Grayson be Grayson.

Who WAS our Grayson Allen?
And no we would have beat him down in practice if he pulled any of that shit

Well, I can be swayed by adjusted mayonnaise/vinegar metrics.

Ha. I never saw him but have heard good stories. Could be
If Grayson Allen was cole slaw, would he be too mayo’ish or would someone have thrown in some off-brand type of veggie mix (who the eff puts kale or broccolini in slaw?). I lean to way too much mayo in Grayson.

Tell me more about this Haitian pikliz and where it can be found in Cville, if you don’t mind. I’m a fan of Haitian food but I’ve never even heard of it.
Well, that’s the real question on Allen: Duke fans are like “He’s just slaw with some cayenne pepper and you can’t handle the intensity/spiciness” and we’re like “No, you left the mayo out overnight, it went bad, you made the slaw with it anyway and he’s what you got.”

Agree on the overnite mayo but also tries too hard and adds grey poupon

Best slaw has a touch of Dukes mayo, but heavier on the acid, Purple cabbage also a must.
Grayson Allen is that ice cream scoop of pure mayo slaw you got at the company picnic.

@HoozGotNext did we recruit Grayson? Was he ever slightly on the radar?

No not that I can remember. He committed fairly early to Duke, like on the spot when offered.

Cole slaw is a low ceiling, high variability food.
I’ve had Cole slaw I like quite a bit. But then I’ve had some awful slaws.
Plus it makes me gassy. Too much information?
