What are you eating?

[Admiral Yi]

I want some Beef Stroganoff. 

You can have a rock.

Ah, the Hungarian version.

CB and I went to the Detroit staple Buddy's Pizza for lunch.  While both Little Caesar's and Domino's originated in Metro Detroit; Detroiters tend to consider Buddy's as Detroit style pizza:



It's square, deep dish and cooked in cast iron pans.  The pizza isn't as thick as a Chicago-style pizza and the crust isn't at all like what you'd get at Gino's East or Pizza Uno.  It's crisp and much less dense.

Looks like what I've seen before called Sicilian style.

I didn't get my beef stroganoff.

Leave it to the Guineas to take credit for Detroit's hard work.   


(Or, at least, that's what they say at Chrysler...)

I popped a couple of tarts.

Yeah.  Good one.

The answer for today is "too fucking much": camerones a la diabla at one of my local Mexican eateries while I was having my tires replaced, and I finished the entire complimentary basket of chips by myself too; several scoops' worth of ice cream; and I just opened the package of hot fries.  I'm all fucked up and I need some kind of stimulant to bring my appetite down.

[Admiral Yi]

Meth.

[Ideologue]

Sounds expensive, but fine.  Probably won't help my teeth grinding issue.

A 'New York' sandwich. Pastrami, comté cheese, onions marinated in something, mustard and lettuce.

I don't even think I cracked the 1800 calorie barrier yesterday. I suffer from a soul crushing ennui.

I got dinner with my wife and some friends last night at one of metro Detroit's older restaurants, Peking House.  I had a dish that is common to the Detroit-Windsor area, but almost unheard of anywhere else; Almond Boneless Chicken (ABC on many menus; Wai Shu Gai on ones that try to pass it off as authentic Chinese.)  It's an Americanized Chinese Dish, that's deep fried chicken served on a bed of iceberg lettuce and served with a spicy gravy and almonds:



Some restaurants take liberties with it, the version I had last night had broccoli in it.

The other unusual thing that you'll see at many Chinese restaurants in Detroit is that take out, (and sometimes sit-down meals) comes with sweet rolls.  That's likely because a number of restaurant owners had lived in Hawaii before they came to Detroit.

Yesterday I ate: prime rib , potatoes au gratin, green beans with almonds, a really good green salad with some pickled onions, more potatoes, and a sampling of about three billion desserts, including ice cream sandwiches made with homemade chocolate chip cookies.

I ate a McDonalds Big Breakfast.

The breakfast of champions.
