If you had 3000+ calories to consume, what would you splurge on?

On Sunday I'm running a half marathon and I will have a bunch of extra calories to consume so I'm going to splurge a little. I'm thinking pizza and beer. What would you splurge on?

    3000 calories would be for a cut, but if I could actually splurge it would probably be as much chocolate cake with chocolate frosting with chocolate ice cream as I could manage. With milk.

    Cheese. Just everything cheesy I could get my hands on. Possibly an entire block of cheddar, possibly dipped in Brie.

    I would be miserable for days if I ate 3,000kcal of anything, but I'd make room for a savory bean pasty, some candied nuts, or a slice of my grandma's spice cake.

    My immediate thought was "chocolate!!!" but I "splurge" on something chocolaty pretty much every day (just in moderation and within my target). So I would probably splurge it on some kind of oven potato dish, with cheese. Yum!

    A thick, marbalized rare cut of steak.
    A worthy, warm roll of bread with butter.
    A baked potato with the works.

    Enjoy whatever you decide on. Much deserved.

    Definitely pizza and ice cream. Maybe some mac and cheese. One of those Hostess cherry pies.

    I would just slather peanut butter on everything I normally eat. 3000 calories of peanut butter!

    I eat pizza regularly so that wouldn't be a splurge for me. A splurge would be a huge Mexican meal with lots of cheese and dessert for dinner. Plus a nice brunch. That would do it for my day.

    Mexican fiesta with lots of chips and guac/salsa, margaritas and probably fajitas with lots of cheese.

    Pizza and beer sounds good for a splurge. I eat both fairly regularly but not 3000 calories worth. Baby back ribs might beat that out though. I eat those much more rarely than pizza.

    This is exactly what I would have!

    Whatever I'm craving. Right now it would probably be a piece of pumpkin pecan cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory. Other days it would be pizza.

    Portillo's Chocolate Cake Shake with cheese fries on the side...pizza and beer sounds like a solid idea, too.

    A platter of Mexican food or some good-tasting terrible-for-you Chinese take out

    3k is basically maintenance for me, but it would probably be pizza, garlic breadsticks, and a donut.
