*giovanni's is on the north shore

i have (more than once sadly) almost missed a quick connection in ATL to stop by popeye's for chicken biscuit - what can i say - you can't get them in philly and they are the best....i know, i know, it's not foodie taste in the slightest.

i recall some good ramen at one time in SFO and a cheese enchilada in IAH in a large food court area with cheap margs that was too good!

in my high school we had 4 stations and a decent amount of options, yet i would only get 5 things - ever! friday was pizza day and i would always dip my pizza in the mini salad and dressing it came with.
wed was chicken ranchero day - chicken patty topped with bacon, american cheese and the obligatory lettuce and tomato slice and you top it yourself with ranch dressing on a kaiser roll and it usually came with baked mac and cheese - the line on wed was always rediculously long!
the other days i had a bagel with cream cheese, fries and an arizona iced tea. or cheese nachos loaded with toppings (i don't eat beef) or a cheese sandwich on a kaiser as i have always been adverse to lunch meat.
i am very surprised i have normal cholesterol these days - i can't imagine what it was back then...although growing up in a vegetarian household my other meals must have cancelled out the cholesterol loaded fest during the school week.

i am going to continue this thread...woke up and has some frosted shredded wheat as i wasn't going to watch football and have brunch for a few hours. brunch was a few too many beers and a huevos tostada (scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese topped with sour cream and guac). had a late afternoon snack of some skittles and a few pieces of spicy tuna and avocado roll. dinner was an asian inspired baked chicken thigh, cucumber salad and brown rice with peppers and onions.
