This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Wait is this a thing? Do Americans legitimately call it “togo”? I came in here to find out what sort of food togo was.

No, we do not. We do say "to go" however. OP probably accidentally missed a space.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

No. Normal people write "to go".

british ex pat in America. I have said "to take away" and been met with blank looks, until I corrected to "to go"

American. Can confirm. Highly regarded people are everywhere.

I believe the yelp app uses take out, which sounds right.

I think "take away" is valid too. "To take away" just sounds odd.

Also "carry out"
