What would you serve him?

This was inspired by Sac's gastronomic adventures, risking his ailimentary canal by test flying various fast food items.

I'll start. If it were during the warm months, I'd make what I call a High Country Boil. It's closely related to South Carolina's Low Country Boil, but instead of whole crabs we use crab legs, and use a court bouillon made with white wine, herbs and root vegetables rather than Old Bay.

Beverage wise, I have no idea, y'all drink some fancy hooch that I'm not familiar with. We drink pretty simple stuff here.

Who's next?
 
Chicken in almond butter curry, lentils in spicy tomato sauce, grilled okra stuffed with my own spice mixture, cucumber soup and plenty of cold beer.
 
Both of those sound pretty good to me. Unfortunately, I seem to have developed a crab allergy. That sucks because I love crab. I get gout like symptoms if I eat crab.

Drink wise, I was almost going to post a separate thread on this but I have noticed an interesting trend in beverages.

American Vodka.

Check this out okay.

Blue Tahoe Vodka.

Yeah, I only cite them as an example because I happen to be a capital investor in the company. As a backdrop, I've never been a vodka drinker in the past. Maybe some in a mixed drink, but sure as hell not straight. After I wrote my check and signed my soul away, a few weeks later a box arrived. It contained a bottle of Tahoe Blue Vodka.

Dude.

I'm a Jameson drinker by heart. What could sway me to go to the dark side. I tried it, in a shot glass, and I was amazed. No, I'm not just saying this because I'm trying to sell vodka and crap because I'm not, but it was actually quite smooth and mellow, and everything you wouldn't expect vodka to be.

Well, that got me hooked. I've been sampling other vodkas as well. I've been keeping a stock of Stoly, and a few others, and enjoying them by the shot glass. But I see a trend. There are a LOT of 'hand crafted' vodkas, mostly from California, lining the top shelf on the supermarket liquor shelf. The one that isn't locked up.

But I will say however, I am honored that that @FormerHangie would entertain the thought of introducing me to High Country Boil. The best I can promise is that I would reciprocate with tri tip and snobby Napa and Sonoma valley wines. And decent beer too.
 
Since he is a cyclist and a self proclaimed carnivore, I'd let him cycle to Stephenville while I fly there to meet him at the Hard8. Then offer to fly him back after he has more than his fill in their really tasty BBQ. No way he will be able to pedal after eating all that grub.

Alternative would be this place: https://www.yelp.com/biz/keiichi-denton

Libation wise... Denton and the north DFW area is seeing a growth in craft breweries and distilleries. Offer to take him on a crawl from place to place.
 
Best BBQ in Chatt. Right up Sac's alley. ;)

Just be warned, I might actually take some of you up on these things.
 
Just be warned, we might want you too.... just to debunk the myth that your not some well crafted artificial intelligence that's able to develop best crafted rants ever.

But if we set you next to @SixPapaCharlie, we cause the universe to implode. :p
 
I'd give him a 1977 dated C-ration and two shelter halfs in the back yard. He ought to feel right at home.
 
After a disappointing look from my doctor, I realized I had mistaken his instructions as "extra fries at least 4 days a week."

My weakness is onion rings. But, those are worse for you than fries.
 
I had a 'Bloomin' Onion'' which was Outback Steak House's answer to onion rings, last week. It was sooo good. The toilet felt soooo bad.

Think I wouldn't! I ate some of the last C ration packs issued in Germany in 1988. I still have my can opener to this day.
 
I like SacArrow, from what I've read and heard. I wouldn't cook for him, I'd take him out. Possibly BBQ, possibly Asian food. But that might open a can of worms...
Colorado microbrews, for certain.
 
Considering my freezer is stocked with BBQ and strip steaks, the fridge has a fresh delivery of beer, and there's a pretty good pho joint not too far away - I think I could get him through breakfast OK.

Jameson, that's not too exotic, that we could do. I'm fortunate in both being a lightweight myself and having married a woman who likes inexpensive wine. She was drinking White Zinfandel when I met her, I switched her to Fetzer Gewurztraminer, which can be had for $5.50 per bottle.

Tri tip sounds good. That's a cut we're just starting to see around here. If we have a regional specialty here, it's probably pulled pork, though the Carolinas are much more known for it that we are. I know some real 'que hounds and it seems like half the neighborhood has one of those Big Green Egg kamado grills. I just don't have time for that, so I do mostly grilling.

We were in Outback a few weeks ago, I saw a picture of that thing, it looks like a stomachache to me. The regular bloomin' onion is best served with a side of Pepcid, that loaded up one is doubly so.
 
I would have my wife whip up some brandy peppercorn sauce.
I would pepper crust some steaks on the grill and pull veggies out of my garden.
We would have craft beers make a video called **** ******* Meat***** **** *** SacMasters 5 (A satire) and call it a night.

In the morning, I would shoo all the Asian ladies out of the house and Sac and I would fly to Beacon for their buffet.

Then I would fly up to Steerman field so he can grab a burger and a few beers.

At this point Sac would be like "We have flown for 3 hours and all I have seen is the horizon. What the hell is this place?

We'd fly back home and I would take him to Dallas and go from "club" to "Club" (I'd wait in the car)

We would be tired so we would go back home and crash and in the morning I would wake up and he would be gone having stolen my bike and ridden back to CA stopping at Asian burger joints along the way for food and quandaries about the intentions of various burger girls.

Half a donut and double quarter pounder with cheese wrapped in lettuce with no fries.

No fries for you!

If SAC's coming I'll bring the knife to cut the donut. ;)
 
He could experience the pleasure of my wife's cooking. served two ways to your delight, Raw as hell or burnt to a crisp.
Or I could take him yo the truck stop so he could get to see the eighth wonder of the world, the worlds fattest waitress !

Sac at my shack? Cool, would you mind dog sitting while I hit the ti- uh, I mean "gentlemen's club"? Thanks bud.
 
I have had seafood a time or two with Sac at Half Moon Bay, but I think we were drinking water, as we had to each fly home. It has been a while since we have had a fly-in. I think we grilled some burgers once at Petaluma (or Kimberley did).
 
That's the other nice thing about vodka. It looks like water.
 
Homemade kimchi (the cabbage kind, plus radish and cucumber kimchi too)

We often make lettuce-wrapped galbi and samgyeopsal with garlic, bean paste, and sesame oil. Wash it all down with makgeolli.

I think Sac wouldn't have a problem with it.
 
Just got back from a public safety appreciation luncheon in Boston. It's put on by the organizers of the Boston Marathon and is always very nice event - the food, the atmosphere, the people. Any ego I have built up since the previous one gets checked at the door, as I'm immediately humbled to be in the presence of everyone in that room.

So, anyway, there I am sitting with some guys from various agencies with a variety of acronyms... DHS, USSS, FBI, BPD, etc., when the waitress comes around to me to ask what I'll be having. She was a pretty, young Asian girl, which, of course, made me think of @Sac Arrow . I suddenly felt inspired to change things up.

"Well, let's see... I think I'd like to get the bbq sandwich. But, instead of bread, can you wrap the pulled pork in lettuce? Also, do a layer of cole slaw over the top. No croutons on the salad, please. Thanks!"

The room went silent.

I saw a couple guys reach for their guns. A few others pressed in on their ear pieces and started talking... pretty sure I heard one say, "Yeah, the one in the red polka dotted dress."

Realizing maybe this wasn't the time to be culinarily creative, I laughed nervously and quickly corrected myself, "Naw, I'm just kidding! hahaha! Wrap that suckah in bacon. Lots of bacon! And heavy on the bread. As for the salad, pfft... leave that nonsense for the birds!"

Thankfully, the room quickly relaxed and people started chatting again.

Definitely a close one.

Landed some sweet new bling, tho.

Yeah be careful of that. It can get you in to trouble. In the 1950's, ordering lettuce wrap was synonymous with being on Nikita Kruschev's personal telephone directory.
