What did you eat today?
Quote: Dieter
My usual practice is to just pass through on my way to somewhere else. During the winter, I try to stick to the northern interstate route (90-94, via Wibaux/Glendive); during the summer, I often take the US212 cutoff from Belle Fourche to Hardin.
I prefer not to publicly disclose my specific whereabouts, but "west of Missoula" should leave a bit of ambiguity.
Thank you, I was not asking for a current location. My time is usually spent a little north of Glendive and south of Missoula. The only thing I think of west of Missoula is Spokane which is a city I have only been to a few times but really liked.

If you start in Missoula and stop in every bar and order a steak until you hit the state line... ;)
There are worse ways to spend a weekend, I'm sure.
Quote:NAPLES, FL – One person has been found dead in a possible bear attack, authorities said.
Officers were on the scene and investigating it as an "active crime scene," Arielle Callender, the public information officer for the South Region office of the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission, said on May 5.
The Collier County Sheriff’s Office received a call shortly after 7 a.m. in reference to a possible bear encounter near a highway in Jerome, a rural area east of Marco Island.

I survived this bear attack.
The wife made a nice dinner of beef tips and gravy on a bed of mashed potato's
It's a heck of a burger for $3. I'm not sure I've ever eaten a Baconator, but it must be tremendous. The SOB and a half a portion of fries satisfied me.
Quote: billryanWendy's has the Son of the Baconator for $3, and an app coupon for a free large fry with a $5 purchase. I bought two and gave one and a half the fries to a guy in an alley. He was shocked that the food was hot.

So that's how you keep your trim and slim young boyish figure.
Wendy's Son Of Baconator (1 serving) contains 37g total carbs, 35g net carbs, 39g fat, 34g protein, and 630 calories.
With the fries that adds up to as many calories as I eat in an entire day. I don't know how you do it, I would balloon up like Shamu.

That amount of food would be more than enough to satisfy me for a whole day.
My list
Pizza
Bacon
Hot fresh baked bread with fancy dipping sauce
Ribeye
Filet Mignon
Honey
Waffles with real Maple Syrup and butter
Ice cream with caramel syrup.
Fresh Corn on the cob dripping with butter and salt
It was an interesting concept but they burned through money and went nowhere.
If I could eat without any consequences, pasta in a meat and cheese sauce, prime rib with potatoes and gravy, pizza, and steak would be in heavy rotation.

I eat all of those things pretty regularly. The only thing that I would like to eat that I really can't is onions, I am allergic. I don't worry about health considerations when eating. If I like it I eat it. My diet resembles that of a 21 year old college kid.
Denny's chicken parmesan and a side salad.
The chicken cutlets were dry and salty (although the breading was crisp); the pasta was tepid and insipid.
Let's be frank; nobody sensible is making Denny's their destination for excellent pasta. You come here for the easy seating and the fact that they'll bring you something edible.
This absolutely nailed that standard. I could put it in my stomach and not get sick.
The salad was fresh and crisp. I didn't dump the bottled italian dressing all over it; I stabbed a forkful of greens and dipped it gingerly in the dressing.
Overall, passable, but not recommended.

That's the reason people go to Denny's? I always thought it was because they had no idea what real food is and they couldn't care less what they ate. Never been there myself and I got no plans.

They're probably open, they have roomy booths, they have serviceable coffee. That makes it a suitable place to have a small meeting on short notice.
The food is an afterthought.
In comparison, Waffle House does NOT have roomy seating. IHOP or Perkins tend to be slightly less welcoming if you or your cohort look a bit disreputable. Still, in a strange town, any of these will generally serve as a meeting point, as available.
Shari's in PNW probably works too, if any are still open.

lol. I would not recommend anyone try and have a meeting at Waffle House.
In the Northwest, Elmer's is a great little chain of breakfast diner style restaurants that I go to.

There are no Waffle Houses convenient to the usual places I want to have a quick meeting, although I think it would set the right tone...

I've never even been inside of a McDonald's let alone any of those places you mentioned. The only restaurant I ever liked was one that opened in the 1930s and was way out in the country it was only open on weekends and they only served one thing pulled pork, mashed potatoes and gravy and blueberry muffins the size of a softball. Every hour they were open the line to get in was out the door into the parking lot because they were that good. They closed in the 90s they were shut down by the health department because their gravy was in a huge pot on the back of the stove and it was on the fire 24/7 which is illegal. Their gravy was their signature so they decided to stay closed. They never cleaned the gravy pot they just kept adding to it and it was always free of bacteria because it was always on the stove with the heat on. In the old days lots of restaurants did that. I believe Colonel Sanders did it way back in the early days and his gravy was his signature too.

I don't engage in those sorts of meetings.
Quote: billryanWhen I was much younger, I arranged to meet my pot supplier in a McDonald's parking lot. My man, Ira, got there early and decided it was a good idea to let the people in the neighborhood hear his new car stereo. I got there just in time to see him being placed in handcuffs and his car towed.

And, as they say, don't go breaking the law while you're breaking the law.

I can see a plumbing supply contractor having a meeting at Waffle House trying to sell his new line of irrigation pipes for your farm.
If you have to hurt others to make yourself feel powerful, you are an extremely weak and lost individual.
I had a yogurt, with the smallest M&Ms I've ever seen, for lunch.

Then what were your plans for the rabbit?
That's a readily available meat I haven't tried, but I hear it's excellent and can be prepared many ways. Maybe I'll head out to the Bunny Ranch and pick some up.
That reminds me, long ago, no idea if its still there, but one of the whorehouses up near Carson City was called some kind of bunny ranch, and at an intersection near it was a rabbit hutch with rabbits and a place you could park. I can only assume that was for parents traveling with kids, and the kids see the sign for the Bunny Ranch and want to see the bunnies, they can stop, show them hopping around in the hutch, and no further explanation is necessary.

That must feel like a real shiny pearl to you considering that you have probably been suspended more than any other member here for personal insults. The last one was for 6 months. "If you have to hurt others to make yourself feel powerful, you are an extremely weak and lost individual." yep, tough to disagree with any of that.
The staff wasn't very helpful about it, and when I googled spoonbread, the ingredients seemed off.
There are 263 Waffle Houses in Atlanta. Shocking. McDonald's has about 125 locations in Houston which is the most of any city.

Duh. The county that Atlanta is in is one of the most obese counties in the entire country. It's full of fatties and fatties are who goes to Waffle House. People are not fat in Atlanta because of so many Waffle Houses, there are so many Waffle Houses because there's so many fat people.

I go to Waffle House and most people would not consider me fat.

I believe there are so many Waffle Houses in Atlanta because Waffle House is a local brand. They started in Norcross (northeast side of Atlanta), and expanded.
