I had a big diner tonight so it's hard to say. If I was cooking it though I've been craving a BBQ pizza with pulled pork I smoked, some sausage and bacon cooked up by the wife and some jalapenos.

I'm also overdue for some ham and beans along with some salmon patties and round cut fried potatoes. Toss in some sour kraut if you want.

Daeji Bulgogi (Korean pork bbq) over white rice. Green beans for the vegetable. A side of clear noodles. More bulgogi for dessert

Cheeseburger, but instead of a bun a lettuce leaf. Onion, tomato and pickles. Sweet potato fries as a side. I did this one night last week and want to again already. I prefer the taste and crunch of lettuce over a bun, though a bun lightly fried in butter is pretty damn good too

Hung out with my brother over the weekend and he made us this. It was one of my father’s favorites, also due to his growing up very poor.

Turducken.

It would depend on the mood a fair bit. Today, it would be brisket and burnt ends from Q 39 and smoked sausage from Jack Stack. I'd probably do blanched field fresh sweet corn, roasted green beans and properly executed french fries. If I'm feeling like an appetizer, candied bacon is probably on the list.

Desert is tough because I like it all. It's hard to beat a good chocolate cheesecake, and that would probably fit best with the meal listed above. But I can be talked into about anyone's specialty. I recently made these Rated R cookies, and hell, I could probably go for that.

Other options that I just get tremendous joy out of (I presume that's the objective here). A good fire grilled ribeye, street tacos from this one outfit, and a smothered burrito from the burrito lady in town. Depending on the mood I'm in, especially if I'm ill and feeling like hell, there is little more comforting than a smashburger with grilled onion and roasted pablano and french fries.

I've had some higher end food, and while it was definitely good, and I enjoyed it, I get more joy out of a properly executed simple hearty meal. Also, I can be talked into some stuff if it is a specialty. Like weird stuff like a really ****ing good Italian Beef sandwich - shouldn't be on anybody's last meal, but if it's a good one I'm probably down. Same with like a really excellent club sandwich or something. Food can hit in ways that little else can.

Interestingly, there is a series on a YouTube channel called Mythical Kitchen, where the guy prepares an interviewees last meal and then they have an interview while they eat. It's surprisingly good content, and some of the choices dudes make are really interesting. And some of the answers are really profound. If you're going to check it out, the best one I watched was Andrew Rae. The Gordon Ramsey one was pretty good and so was Jason Kelce.

I’m feeling chili cheese dogs are in order for the game this week.

BBQ!

Lamb Vindaloo.

Now I'm hungry...10am on a Thursday and I want a fancy meal

Butter poached lobster tails (6-8 oz; anything bigger isn't sweet enough), a bone-in ribeye, Jalapeno/Cheddar twice-baked taters and Brussel sprouts roasted in bacon grease. Probably a small salad with some house-made ranch (bottled stuff sucks) to break up some of the heaviness of the rest of the meal.

Gimme 3 fingers of Glenfiddich 15 (nothing too fancy, i just really like it) over ice with a splash of water and a 9 oz pour of good Cab to go with a glass of water.

And then I'll need 30 minutes alone with my thoughts in the john the next morning...

Lobster stuffed with tacos

Always felt lobster to be overrated except this one experience where I had lobster escargot.

So it looks like me and the wife have decided on some sliders they made us a couple months back. As in some of those videos you see, they use the Hawaiian roles and cut those in a block and then add all the toppings and you just pull the sliders apart. They also make a killer home made bruschetta sauce.

After that, we are going to do tacos for dinner and the night game

Tonkotsu ramen

I'm talking the whole 48 hour broth process, handmade noodles, pork belly, soft boilded egg, bamboo shoots, black wood ear mushrooms, umami flavor boost, the whole 9 yards

Go ahead and add on some pork belly buns too

Basically something I have no desire, skill, or proper equipment to make myself

Austrian/Hungarian Goulash mit Spaetzle

This is by far my favorite meal. Make it every month or so.
Have had it at Spago in LA, Pepe's restaurant in Vail and a few dozen spots in Austria and Germany. Stuff is even better after it has been in the refrigerator for a day. Highly recommended
