I am and have always been a uni-lateralist when it comes to lunch. Sometimes, you just have to go with what you believe in, voter be damned.
And no way am I sharing it with Dershowitz. Or Claus Von Bulow.

Von Bulow believed in the injectable lunch, an unilateral escalation of the liquid lunch.

I don't believe in preemptive lunch, but lunch on warning is OK.

Nonono. Claus just ignored lunch, which is not really an indictable offense in my book. And everyone knows the kids just swept every condiment they could find into the black bag anyway.
And I seriously doubt Jeremy Irons would know a good pizza if it fell upon him. Now Ron Silver... with HIM, I would share a pizza.

...and gentlemen? I am truly grateful that, amidst all of these frivolous and petty discussions on war, politics, death penalty, etc, there are those who are truly willing to get down and tackle the real issues. For this, I tank youze.

btw, what the heck is your sig image supposed to be? a melted coffe cup? an ohio buckeye confectionary set on fire? a boston baked bean? a smoldering moon pie?

maxelson · Sep 23, 2002, 12:41 PM

yes.
Okay, okay. Tis a Dali-ed coffee cup.

I was going to start a whole thread about this, but since we're already in the midst of a unilateral lunch action, I'll post here.

The scene: last Friday, working at one of my semi-regular freelance gigs. The old designer was dropping by for lunch, so we decided to go en masse to a pub I'd never been before.

The drink: Chocolate Guinness. I'd never seen or heard of one before. Jen, the insanely hot writer gal, ordered one while the rest of us stuck to our conventional beers.

The verdict: At first sip, Jen was close to pulling a "When Harry Met Sally," declaring it to be 'almost orgasmic.' That was good enough to make me order one, but wanted to try it out myself. The pint was passed around for all to sample. Damn, it's mighty good. We all ordered one for our second pints.

In conclusion: always be on the lookout for odd food or drink combinations, they may surprise you. Me, I think I'll go to the local place and get a nice grilled steak and provolone grinder. It's the closest to a D'Angelo's I'll get around here.

PLease to define Chocolate Guinness?
Sooner than later?
Like NOW, please?

ReggieX · Sep 23, 2002, 02:48 PM

Guinness draught with something in it that adds a hint of chocolate. Dunno exactly *what* they put in there, put it's nicely fragrant and not sweet.

Good ****, mang.

As we're talking Guinness, I've got a sensational recipe for oxtail braised in Guinness. Or a venison stew with Guinness and juniper berries. Or, the ever popular beef in Guinness, flavoured with fresh thyme.

I can feel a theme developing here.

Naked Lunch, please.

l'ignorante · Sep 23, 2002, 02:53 PM

Let me tell you about lunch here (Bruxelles); it's sooo huge, restaurants everywhere only open at lunch hour, indian, italian, french, belgian, chinese, spanish and everybody takes at least 60 to 90 minutes lunch break, and there's no shame in a drink or two and return to the office at 4 pm with a red blush in the face. This town is ruled during lunch hour. Personally I buy my baquette at a van that drives in front of the building noon sharp; we call it "baquette au van".

ReggieX · Sep 23, 2002, 03:14 PM

l'ignorante, I like your new sig.

Anyway, to respond to the actual theme, yes, I am almost always the one to make the final decision on what restaurant to visit. Why? Because I'm sick of the
"I don't know, where do you want to eat?"
"I don't know, where to you want to eat?"
"I don't know, whatever is OK by me."
garbage that is prevalent among my friends, and in particular one married couple. They'll go for 10 or 20 minutes back and forth like that. I quickly learned to make the executive decision and get on with the eats. It's the only way to be sure.
