You're Going To Chow Down Like A Sad Fatty

[Blarg]

just got back from bopping around italy...

jesus f*cking a the food and wine.

from hole in the wall pasta joints with locals, to michelin star tasting menus, and everything in between.

that's where to go to chow down.

 

I hear they have the best Olive Garden there.

I want to add Kettle Bar to my list. I love Creole/Cajun food. It's like The Boiler in Chino Hills. Food is the shit.

I found some nice ham hocks at the commissary on the Navy base so I made a big batch of red beans. I thought I'd have some leftovers to freeze but they got devoured. Our poker game sounded like the scene in Blazing Saddles.

I went through a stretch of going to the Boiler 4-5 times a month.

Italy blew me away food wise because we prep our food so much different. I didnt see a lot of meat sauces with pasta, it was more oils. Still very good, just different from what i expected.

Perfect for this thread though. From what i remember, italian meals consist of a pasta (with meat, like an entree here), with ameat entree right after...it was beautiful!

one of the best meals we've ever had was in the little village of radda in chianti.

bistecca alla fiorentina.

four ingredients: a big ass local porterhouse, olive oil, salt and pepper.

f*cking blew our minds.

add in some local chianti classico reserva and you're in heaven.

Most underrated Euro food is German.

i dont think ive ever had a real german dish, orher than ribs and saurkraut. Brats are amazing but thats probably not qualifying for this.

What is the most underrated euro poon?

[Lhalo]

It's got to be from somewhere in Eastern Europe. Slovakia perhaps?

[Blarg]

If you could find it then it would probably be on betamax.

[Lhalo]

No wonder the Germans invaded.

Back on topic. I crushed a quart of Chocolate Oreo Ice Cream last night.

Having time off is the double edge (scoop) problem. I'm now on my own for meals during the day and when my wife comes home she is starving because she keeps skipping lunches and wants to chow down. Somehow I still have been able to lose at little each week but it actualky is easier when I'm at work.

It was my last day of paternity leave. Back at the office full time today. 

[red321]

wow...that's a tough one

 

Probably have to start with some Gulf Oysters and then a real Caeser Salad, made at the table with the anchovy and raw egg

 

Nice big rib eye and twice baked potato. Butter soaked mushrooms. Freshly baked sourdough with garlic herb better to sop up the juice.

 

A nicely hopped beer, something like Blind Pig.

 

End up a scoop of real vanilla bean ice cream and hot fudge...and a nice expensive glass of tawny port.

 

 

or....

 

Fried Shrimp Po Boy with a side of gumbo from Mother's in New Orleans. Maybe a side of NOLA style BBQ'd shrimp like Emeril served before he became a douche.

 

or....

 

This amazing Minced Lamb Tandoori kabob that gave me the shits....but was so good I ate it again a few days later...and would eat it again in a heart beat...

 

or....

 

now I'm hungry.

 

dick.

As I've grown older I've learned to appreciate the art of a well prepared Eggs Benedict. Pair it with a Bloody Mary (with extra olives) and my Sundays are as right as rain.

As I've grown older I've learned to appreciate the art of a good pedicure. I also record on my phone what the ladies there say so my vietnamese coworker can translate the shit talking.
