@HeartofGlass: We *do* have Halloween candy around. Lots of it. But the thought of a GIANT bar of chocolate got my hopes up.
@wunami: Heh. Thanks. I'm often mistaken for Josh "Mister Cutlets" Ozersky.

Adam. You kind of look like Seth Rogan.

You're in an office around Halloween with no handy chocolate? Even if it wasn't 'Serious Eats' headquaters--I'd be shocked!

I sent a huge hershey bar to my sister for her anniversary. I think it took them 6 months to eat it all and she said it was harder to eat as well. She did enjoy the novelty of it.

Fantastic marketing scheme, though I'm sure that adds a pretty penny to the cost of the book. I'll wait for the paperback version ;-)

In 8th grade there was a guy in my class who's father worked for Nestle. For some holiday class party, the kid offered to bring chocolate.
He showed up that day with a 10-pound Nestle Crunch bar and a hammer. It was a good three or four inches thick and while made out of the exact same chocolate and crispy rice as a normal size bar, it was hard as a brick and difficult to eat.
If you hit it just right with the hammer you could get some edible chunks to cleave off, with little crumbs flying everywhere.

@jboylan, @burgerboy: Yep! That's what I wrote at the end of the post! "And a bit of trivia for you: TV weatherman Willard Scott was Ronald McDonald's creator. That's him in the video."

Maybe I should read some of the post before I add to it sorry....

In the first Mcdonalds commercials, it's actually Willard Scott who first played Ronald!!

Center ice at the Shark Tank in San Jose...BYOC (bring your own coat). Preferably NOT during a game (ducking from those pucks would interfere with my wine drinking).

Ponte Santa Trinita in Florence. It's one bridge down from the Ponte Vecchio and has these little triange struts over the side that you'd never know about if you weren't really looking. My roommates and I took a couple of bottles of wine out there one night this past May, the last week before we came back to the States. It's incredibly gorgeous -- you can watch the sun go down and the city slowly light up, the kayakers in the Arno River and the people walking along the bridge proper.
I miss Italy =(

at the edge of the North rim of the Grand Canyon.

Time Square? I'd like to go there some day anyway

friends of mine threw a brunch - complete with proper silverware, wine glasses, cloth napkins and tablecloth, on the williamsburg bridge in nyc last january (it was a freak 60 degrees). everything tasted better outdoors... even when adventure dining on a bridge, civility is paramount!

(if only we could edit our comments - Niagara Falls ... d'oh!)
Also, the Sydney Opera House :-)

In the redwood forest, though I'm sure you could at least picnic there without a problem. On a pier along the Pacific would be nice. Or at the top of a lighthouse (not while it's on, though).

I think a Mexican potluck party in the Sistine Chapel would be a nice coup.

Fallingwater (the Frank Lloyd Wright house) - I know they do have meals there but I'm fantasizing about one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
The shelf you can tour through behind Niagra Falls.
(I'm in a water mood today apparently)

I was going to say the Library of Congress, but found that they do allow people to have dinners and events there.
So...the Statue of Liberty would be my second choice.

In Chicago: under that weird silver bean thing in the park
The steps of the art museum would also be nice.
Other possibilities include the shadow of the Picasso 'horse' and the interior of the Chagal sculpture.

The Great Wall.
If anyone has ever been the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs, THAT would be an amazing place.
Also, what about the inside of an Egyptian pyramid?

I, too, thought of the Golden Gate Bridge. However, if you've ever been there you know that a cold, wild wind screams across that thing day and night. You'd have to safety pin your napkin to your snow suit and serve only cold foods because hot foods would be cold before you could get the first bite to your blue lips.
There is a reception area near the top of the Transamerica Pyramid, but that's not a public space. Hmmmm. I think perhaps the Dome at the Palace of Fine Arts would be nice, provided you had outdoor space heaters and a lot of Sterno.
San Francisco, lovely as she is, just isn't usually a great place for dining al fresco.
