A meeting between my boss and the other managers in my office and me brought us to the Brownstone restaurant in the Muskegon Airport. The Brownstone specializes in some original soups and sandwiches and I got to enjoy both on that day.
The dessert however was other-worldly.
This piece of cake was ridiculous. Please don't misunderstand. It was really really good. But who can eat lunch and then chase that down with an 8" tall, 10" wide, 2" thick piece of carrot cake?
I ate one layer, and then brought the rest away for Sylvia and Ezekiel. Zeke had none of it. Sylvia smiled a lot. She does that.
... maybe it's just me?

PB&P
Yes gentle reader, I made a peanut butter and pickle sandwich. It's one of my favorite peanut butter and something sandwiches, ever since I was a little kid. Made with the hamburger-dill slices and creamy peanut butter, it's light, crunchy, tart, and a bit nutty.
Some of you will probably think that I should include this delicacy in my food rules as an abomination.
Some of you will probably think that this should qualify as something I've found in my food.
However - I put the pickles on the peanut butter myself, and they are my rules, so I get to decide what's in them.
...maybe it's just me

El Gigante
When you're at a conference like this - where they don't feed you as part of the deal, you need to go out. David and I ran into Tiffany from iStock Photo and we all agreed to go out for Italian. We located a place with our GPS that wasn't too far away and we navigated our way directly to where it was supposed to be.
Instead we found Frontera Mex-Mex.
That's right, "Mex-Mex". Apparently these people hate Texas. We weren't sure about it until, as we drove around the front, we saw the Mariachi band through the window. DONE! We are so eating there!
A softball team arrived not too long before we did, so that was another good sign. But the best sign for me was the one in the menu that read, "FREE T-SHIRT" "Burrito El Gigante." Eat this 16-incher and win a t-shirt and if you're still hungry, free dessert. Mamma... I'm home.
Of course I finished it - ate the free fried ice cream and smiled mockingly at the wait-staff.
And now I have this great t-shirt - and the sounds of a Mariachi band playing the Macarena stuck in my head.
... maybe I didn't win after all.

The Varsity
This week I'm in Atlanta with my co-worker Dave for the Catalyst Conference. Our plane from Grand Rapids to Milwaukee was canceled due to weather, so we got a direct flight to Atlanta on another Airline. Midwest handled the cancellation with ease and we were soon on a Delta flight without any effort except for the extra security pat-downs.
We landed and got our luggage at the speed of light - seriously, I don't know how they did that. It was amazing. Then checked into the hotel - which is hilarious in its own right. Then off to get something for dinner.
The Varsity
It claims to be the world's largest drive-in. The one we went to was not really a drive-in as much as it was a drive-up-get-out-of-your-car-walk-inside. But I digress. They have Chili Dogs.
The chili is almost entirely meat, with a touch of sauce. The meat is so finely ground that it resembles Cream of Wheat or since we're in the South, grits. The chocolate shake was similar in consistency to a Wendy's Frosty, but after a few minutes with a spoon, drinkable. Chili-cheese fries are fries, served with a little cup of chili and a little cup of very runny cheese. I know what you're thinking - "oh! I like it runny" - if indeed that's what you're thinking, then by all means, this is the cheese for you.
+1 all around!
I really didn't eat much today - so now that I've pigged out and capped it all off with a fried peach pie - I'm going to bed.
