The Warden Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 As the quarantine measures start to dissolve - what is your first in person order at your favorite restaurant? I am torn between a classic Reuben and chimichanga. Wings and beef on week do not count.
BillsPride12 Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 Probably seafood somewhere because that is not something I'm getting for takeout

Personally, I want wings at Chez Plenz! They are just not the same when you box them up and take them home. I’ll get a muffuletta from a place nearby this week, but still as takeout. If our Governor said it was a good idea to come in out of the rain, I’m getting as wet as possible. 1

Pick a place near home.... I used to have lunch out every day, almost always sitting at the bar. I’m very comfortable there, and often don’t leave for hours! I eat late (3pm or later), read my book and before you know it the early Happy Hour crowd rolls in! Voila! New instant best friends arrive! My wife is generally not one to sit at a bar unless we can’t get a table. She rarely drinks, two glasses of wine is a rare and crazy night. I pick up her slack, I’m a team guy! . .

The Golden Corral and Taco Bell miss you! @plenzmd1 promised me Golden Corral if I take some experimental internal Lysol Study for old folks. How could I pass up that one?

All the “meat” was mushy. It was as disgusting in my dreams as it is in real life. 1

But the few times I have eaten at a chinese buffet (for someone’s birthday), the meat is like chicken fat that dissolves in your mouth— it’s like the lowest quality meat you can get. It’s no Golden Corral, that’s for sure.

It’s no Golden Corral, that’s for sure. I just HATE buffets, for SO MANY reasons! BUT, the one I really enjoyed was at the Aria in Las Vegas. Is wasn’t that expensive (maybe $36?) plus unlimited Bloody Mary’s, Mimosa’s or wine for another $20+. Hell, in Vegas one glass of wine can hit that bar! They had different sections, Asian, Italian, seafood, etc. All good quality. You could do all you can eat crab legs for hours with unlimited beverages for next to nothing in Vegas terms. They are closed today, I’m afraid. ? Friends who live there took us. The locals knew the ropes. Any buffet, to me, seems like a challenge to seriously overeat to get my money’s worth. I want some of everything, and a LOT of what I like! Not my style. That doesn’t end well. Edited April 27, 2020 by Augie 1 1

Taco Bell would definitely be something you need to take bleach to your butthole after, "experimentally" of course...

The manager confronted him, didn’t like the “chill out” response, so he called the cops. He literally had to go to court (while he was finishing medical school and shopping for residency, coulda messed up his life!). The judge was PISSED! “Why are you wasting my time?” Anyway, that’s my buffet/courtroom story. Was it John Pinette who did a bit on the buffets? “NO! We closed for YOU!”
