    Succulent steak, pizza, Otik's spiced potatoes (I make them myself), chocolate cake with buttercream icing (also made from scratch a la moi). Diet Coke, Yellowtail Pinot Grigio, crab legs drenched in buttah, French bread with garlic cheese dip, and cinnamon rolls (both again, from scratch a la moi).

    Fried shrimp po boy on super fresh baguette with spicy creamy remoulade.

    Side of avocado.

    Side of pan seared scallops.

    Cheesecake with strawberry rhubarb topping heaped on top.

    Then maybe a good craft beer.

    I'm not proud of this.

    Sausage Dip & Chips

    1 lb breakfast sausage
    2 blocks cream cheese
    1 can Rotel (diced tomatoes & chiles)

    Brown the sausage, melt in the cream cheese, and stir in the Rotel. Serve with Scoops tortilla chips.

    That is the sort of thing I'd love to have a cup of at a holiday party. And then some fudge. Gotta love potlucks for this reason! If I had a crock pot full of that I'd just eat on it for a week and be sick :smiley:

    See, if it was a cup of it, or over a whole week, no problem. But this, in practice, is dinner for 2.

    Another vote for sushi if you are going out with a few different people. It's always fun to share the experience with someone else.

    If it's just you then may as well do Al's Italian Beef!!!

    Not that I don't love typical Chicago take out stuff like Portillo's, Al's, Max's. Harold's, etc. but I can squeeze most of that stuff in on a normal day if I have lighter options for other meals. Now something like Malnati's? I have not set foot in that place in over a year :smile:

    Some stuff I can fit in but I always figured an Als sandwich was like 900 cals. And then fries and italian ice....

    I work around the corner from a Malnati's and there is a box of pizza in the office at least 1 day a week. Always smells delicious too.

    Let us know what you decide to do!

    Just take me to a Vegas style buffet with some Cheesecake Factory lemon raspberry and chocolate tuxedo for dessert.

    This would also be my death row last meal request.

    I ended up going out to my fav fried chicken place, Uncle Remus. I had chicken, catfish, fries, slaw, and a large house specialty beverage called a "remmy", which is sweet tea mixed with cherry Kool Aid. If I am being 100% honest, I did not enjoy it hardly at all. The whole time I was there I had this "WTF am I doing?" thought process going on in my head. I did not feel like a proud warrior celebrating a victory. I felt more like a heroin addict that decided to track down his old dealer and relapse.

    I realize this is irrational. It's not like I did not have the calories to spare, but that is how it made me feel nonetheless. I do not think I want to do that again even if I have a day where I decide it's a good idea to run from here to China. I guess I have issues.

    Could it be the food you ate didn't taste as great as you remembered?
