What's your favorite meal to go out for?

[soleft]

Breakfast, lunch, or dinner?

Each one kind of has it's own special appeal. There's something very comforting I think about breakfast, getting served that first cup of coffee. I usually try to avoid things like pancakes and waffles because by 11am I'm ready for a nap from the sugar crash.

I usually don't go out for lunch at work, when I do I usally go for sushi - eel, yummmmm.

And dinner is always kind of an adventurous thing, especially when you try new places. I especially like going out for dinner when i'm on vacation.

1. Breakfast.

And my favorite place is the Waffle House.

[soleft]

4. I heard IHOP bought Applebys - I think that's right

[trof]

11. Yeah, just saw that.

[Mutley]

2. Breakfast

Breakfast food is my favorite, and I'll eat it any time of day or night. :9

[soleft]

3. eggs and stuff or waffles and pancakes?

6. Eggs and stuff

I do like waffles and pancakes, but can take 'em or leave 'em.

10. Sweet vs. savory is always the big question when I go out for breakfast.

Although, since I am avoiding simple carbs these days (complex carbs are fine), savory wins most of the time. There's a wonderful place called the Lucky Platter that has delicious scrambles with your choice of ingredients. And it comes with a pastry that is fresh from the oven and filled with apricot and cream cheese. YUM- totally worth throwing the no simple carbs rule out the window for! So you get the best of both worlds.

16. Sounds like the same kind of trends as those McGriddle things

Basically putting a egg and meat sandwich between two pankcakes. But I guess that's not so different from turkey and cranberry sauce, or swedish meatballs and lingenberry sauce.

[grace0418]

23. I actually don't like the sweet and savory together in the same bit. Those McGriddles

things gross me out. But I do enjoy having my yummy eggs with goat cheese, smoked turkey and sun-dried tomatoes, then having a warm pastry along with it. Not much different I suppose. I'm weird that way.

[grace0418]

5. Well, for some reason breakfast is the meal I enjoy cooking the least, so I guess

that would be the one I like going out for the most. But Chicago is a restaurant town, so I like going out for any meal.

[soleft]

8. Do the Great Lakes give you access to fresh seafood?

[grace0418]

13. I'm not a big seafood person. But I think most people joke about not eating what

comes out of Lake Michigan. Perhaps the other lakes, though.

[stuntcat]

7. sushi

That's the thing I won't have at home, I used my sushi kit twice but screw it, I'll just get it from restaurants. (I'll even eat the grocery store sushi :blush: )

[soleft]

9. What's your favorite?

I don't like avocado, so I always get my rolls with either scallion or cucumber.

[stuntcat]

17. I don't remember having them with scallions

maybe I have though.. my memory's too bad to remember a favorite especially since I love all of it :9
This is making me so hungry, I'm gonna have to get the grocery store sushi when I go to Giant later.

[TommyO]

12. Some supermarket sushi is remarkably good

There are two supermarkets near my office that have good sushi, and they're a favorite stop for a quick lunch when I don't bring something and can't stomach the cafeteria slop.

[stuntcat]

20. to me it sure is

I'm gonna get some this afternoon in fact, thanks to this thread x(

[AllegroRondo]

14. breakfast

especially on weekends when you feel groggy in the morning and dont want to cook. Theres a local place that does french toast stuffed with cream cheese and fruit, usually with a glaze too - yummy!

[soleft]

18. Is the French Toast made with that thick hallah (sp) bread?

[AllegroRondo]

21. no, they use a thick homemade bread

and on special occasions, they use homemade cinnamon bread, stuffed with apple butter.

looks like I know where I'm eating Saturday morning...

[soleft]

39. Bon Appetite!

[begin_within]

15. Dinner is always too much of a fussy drama episode of some awful theater of the absurd.

And you don't need all those calories at night anyway. Dinner should be abolished. Lunch is far more sensible and much less idiotic drama. The same or better food at half the price. And you still get to do something else the rest of the day.

[soleft]

19. That half the price thing is a great reason to go out for lunch!

[La Lioness Priyanka]

22. brunch

[soleft]

29. There you go!

I guess I always think of Brunch as breakfast tho cause I usually get breakfast stuff. Have you ever gone to - I think it's Old Stone Cafe in Park slope?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

41. a while ago, my favorite is 7A (on 7th and avenue a)

greenpoint has a new hip brunch place called Brooklyn Label which i also like. Yesterday i saw the owner in an SUV though.

[soleft]

42. Have you ever been over to Kingsland Ave.

Aka grandparents Ave. A friend of mine bought a house there and I was wondering what it's like.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

43. nope, my knowledge of brooklyn is limited though

[MissMillie]

24. dinner

the options seem to be unlimited... you can even have breakfast for dinner

[soleft]

30. Do you ever have trouble deciding on one thing?

Sometimes I like to order several things off the appetizer menu for variety.

[MissMillie]

44. yes, and it's a real problem for me

because of my small tummy (gastric bypass). I always want a bite of everything, and that usually means I end up sick because a bit of everything is too much.

[soleft]

46. Stay away from traditional Chinese Weddings

They're like 10 courses. I went to one when I was pregnant - reduced stomach room for different reasons - and by the sixth course I couldn't take a single bite.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

25. Dinner, maybe lunch.

I'm never hungry in the morning so going out for breakfast is sort of lame and pointless for me. Besides which, I hate getting up in the morning. I'm a night owl all the way.

[soleft]

31. I guess you especially want to stay away from Breakfast buffets

That would be total waste

[wildhorses]

26. supper

late night after the crowd

[soleft]

34. My grandmother once invited people for an ice cream supper

She really meant just come over dessert, but they thought they were coming for a full meal and as the story goes were quite pissed.

[wildhorses]

40. after reading the responses in this thread, i am convinced that i

did not understand the question:dunce:

:yoiks:


ice cream supper :thumbsup:

[ceile]

27. Breakfast/Brunch

I love a good eggs benedict, or biscuits and gravy w/ eggs over easy....yum

[soleft]

35. I thought people weren't really serving eggs over easy anymore

On account of the raw egg thing

[Joe Fields]

28. Definitely a breakfast person.

:toast:

[soleft]

36. homefries or grits?

[judaspriestess]

32. dinner

and it will be S-U-S-H-I

all you can eat sushi is the greatest ever!!

[soleft]

37. I tried all you can eat sushi once

I found out I couldn't eat as much as I thought I could.

[El Fuego]

33. I love going out for breakfast, because I don't do it that often.

Especially when it starts with a Bloody Mary...

[soleft]

38. I like mamosas myself

[bleedingheart]

45. I like having the food brought to me...

[soleft]

47. you must like it on airplanes when the cart starts to come down the aisle
