Thunder Chicken Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I leave for Iraq in three weeks. The Chow has gotten a lot better in past years, and with the money Brown and Root is pulling down it should, but it is still eating from a mess hall. Its time to eat a few things I won't see again for a year. I keep thinking of Pan Seared Tuna, Venison anything, Spatzle with Krauter-Rahm sauce, Pacific coast oysters with fresh pico, Lamb gyros and cheesey meaty gooey lasagna. not necessarily in one meal. If you had a limited time to have what you love before you couldn't have again for a year, what would it be? P.S. And Beer P.P.S. And Wine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Chicken Posted August 4, 2007 Author Share Posted August 4, 2007 mmm Dim Sum, I'll be able to get some when I head back up to Seattle before I leave. And I'll definitely hit Barberitos for a Heavy D Steak and black beans before I leave Augusta. Thanks Bier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay Safe!! That is one thing the army is good for. the Chocolate Pudding Snack Pack. I can't describe the joy of meeting the blackhawk bringing your once a week hot meal, and watching that crew chief toss off a case of chocolate pudding. Heaven. Vanilla? Blech!

Hugh B Tool Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Double pepper encrusted angus burger with thick cut bacon and Wisconsin cheddar on a kaiser roll with onion straws and chipotle mayo. Side of crispy steak cut fries and an ice cold pint of MacTarnahans Amber Ale. Good to go. That or a In-N-Out double/double with grilled onions, side of fries and a vanilla shake.

TDFFFreak Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 In-N-Out is a great suggestion, but in case you couldn't get to one by then, I'd settle for a big pizza (and NOT one from the crappy chain places.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holy Roller Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Slab of Gates. Everyday. sliders and onion chips Double pepper encrusted angus burger with thick cut bacon and Wisconsin cheddar on a kaiser roll with onion straws and chipotle mayo. Side of crispy steak cut fries and an ice cold pint of MacTarnahans Amber Ale. Good to go. That or a In-N-Out double/double with grilled onions, side of fries and a vanilla shake. These would make my list. And a side of Mrs HR if I was the one leavin'. You find your own. Keep your head down and don't do anything stupid. Don't stand when you can sit.

Thunder Chicken Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 That or a In-N-Out double/double with grilled onions, side of fries and a vanilla shake. Definitely stopping on the way through California. Brings back memories of Bus rides home after an away game. These would make my list. And a side of Mrs HR if I was the one leavin'. You find your own. Keep your head down and don't do anything stupid. Don't stand when you can sit. Don't sit when you can lie down. Sleep every chance you get. Wise advice from an old grunt. Spent this weekend in Atlanta with Ms Right Now. Ate at "Sambuca", right around the corner from the Grand Hyatt in Buckhead. food was good, Live Jazz, avoided the cover because the hotel sent us over in the house car!! I had the Dual Tuna, the Filet, and a bottle of the Ridge Robles Zin. Took the Toffee Bread Pudding to go, but never got to finish it. She had the Mediterranean Lasagna. Tuna and Filet were great. Wine was great (lots of raisin and currant). Lasagna was good too, one extra large noodle, rolled around the rest of the ingredients. Nice Place Sambuca Menu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wolf Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hmmm...great question.

jaxfactor Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Hook up with Whomp or another paisan and get an awesome home-cooked Italian meal. My grandmother made the best raviolis. It was a 3 day process which was why it was rare that we had it. But it was well worth it. I miss the home-cooked Italian dinners that my mom and noni made. Would do anything to sit down and eat another REAL Italian dinner. hint hint Be careful over there. And a good goal would be that whatever you decide on, have the same thing waiting for you when you come back. Good luck and God speed.
