Food and Eating

[Norge]

Just wondering but what was the final decision about food and eating? I know there was a thread discussing the possibility of catering one day and going out to breakfast another. Aside from that I assume is it every person for theirself with coolers and stuff? Maybe we should vote on the catering thing again since we have an official forum for it now? Just a thought.

mmmmmm Taco Bell is good, I hear there is a fine Taco Bell establishment in the vicinity of HQ de Sarc

[primesuspect]

Vicinity nothing - it's like 500 feet away.. It's practically our friggin next door neighbor.

Then, a block down we have the fine dining establishment White Castle. Further down you will find a superb McDonald's with a five-star Wendy's right next door to that. Plenty of fine dining to be had in northeast The D!

Wow, I want your office to be my house :D

/me spends too much money at Taco Bell

But hey atleast now I got some land marks to look out for on my drive in.

[Thrax]

Just take a buddy. Don't want anyone getting pwned in the middle of <i>De</i>troit. heh.

[Camman]

oh noes, with all this Detroit talk, I are getting concerned.... hope I dont get my suburban ass pwned in the big city

[GHoosdum]

Detroit - I think they used to make cars there. Then the Japanese started selling their cars in the US, and the city died. I hear there are a lot of abandoned buildings and unemployed auto workers...

:wtf:

[McBain]

Jeeez guys.....its not <i>THAT</I> bad.....I mean...you don't need to take a buddy or anything. Just don't wander down streets quoting certain portions of Pulp Fiction and you'll be set(something about a depository comes to mind). Its not like everyone from Detroit is a ravenous murder-crazed person just waiting outside Sarcnet to attack the poor feeble computer dorks.

//edit: Who am I kidding....I've got my GAT and I'm officially calling 'shotgun' on pseudo as my human shield. :vimp:

:wtf:

Not really. All of the "Big 3s" headquarters are in Dearborn, and the Dearborn area. Not to mention, there never was a car manufacturing plant for any of these co.'s in the city of Detroit.


Mmmmm... Whitey C's....

[GHoosdum]

Eeeeew... Slyders....

[primesuspect]

Seriously? Where are you people from? The moon? Detroit is not the home of slobbering maniacs... It's just.... a city.. No big deal....

You CAN go to Taco Bell with no fear. You CAN walk down the street.... It's not like you'll get shot for being white :rolleyes:

[primesuspect]

Daimler is headquartered in Auburn Hills, SMJ

GM is headquartered in the largest building in Michigan, the Renaissance Center, in Detroit.

Only ford is HQ'ed in Dearborn..

Yeah, and for fear of us *****-ing ourselves and/or gassing ourselves to death, can we limit the weekend to ONE crave case and 1 trip to Toxic Hell please per person?

WON'T SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

Taco Bell... EEEvil! Better bring the Tums along cause I know I'll have to eat there one of the days... :werr:

Norge

[Thrax]

I'm just kidding too. ;D

[QCH2002]

I was kidding too..... Uh... wait a minute, I didn't add anything.

I'm for a vote on food. I figure the one catered meal and/or cookout and one breakfast... The rest is up to you'all to fend for yourself.

[Aranyic]

I think my stomach has started eating it's self already at just the thought of white castle..I made a trip there a couple weeks ago that was a bit less than enjoyable for the rest of the day.

[GHoosdum]

But it's what you CRAVE! ;D

[primesuspect]

/me gets defensive about the "D"

It wasn't you specifically, Camman. No worries. It's just that for my whole life I've been dealing with sideways looks whenever the word "detroit" comes up. It's mostly the media that perpetrates the image that somehow Detroit is a wreck of a place. It's no different than any other big city I've been to: keep your wits about you, keep your eyes a little bit more open, and don't drive around with your wallet hanging out of your pants flashing huge bills with your windows down listening to country music. It's easy! :D

[GHoosdum]

In fact, it's probably a good idea not to have anything hanging out of your pants while you drive around.

[JLunar]

food: I'm still doing my darndest not to eat at McD's unless it's necessary. Actually, all fast food, though I know it's unavoidable.

I eat nearly anything, however. My dislikes aren't anything we'll ever encounter, I'm sure.

real food (tm) would be nice every now and then. I'm pondering the purchase of a mini fridge to make the time go by more nicely.

[GHoosdum]

I'm with you on the avoiding the McDonalds! Then again, that's probably because there is only 1 sandwich on the menu that is even halfway suitable for a vegetarian...

[Kwitko]

What's that, the McTofu?

[GHoosdum]

;D ;D

The McTofu would probably taste a lot like ass. But seriously, I'm only a partial vegetarian - I eat fish and eggs, but no white or red meat. So the one sandwich that sucks but I can eat is the fish.

[-tk]

just to let you guys know, our office is about a mile away from Grosse Pointe. One of, if not the richest city in Michigan. Point being that its full of real restaraunts, not just fast food. So there's always that option.

[primesuspect]

Too bad all the food in richie Grosse Pointe either

a) sucks

or

b) is overwhelmingly overpriced


.. Actually the breakfast place we are planning on going to is in Grosse Pointe, it's a bit expensive but well worth it.

//edit:

And Grosse Pointe Shores is the wealthiest city in the US, perhaps one of the wealthiest in the world. I'm sure there's some Sultan or Prince somewhere that's got his/her own city that's wealthier, but..... :)

[Shorty]

/me considers..

Bollox to it. McDonalds for me. Im gonna be a true geek and eat fastfood and drink alot of coffee :D

Damn Im proud :D

//Edit// Grosse Point :D Im taking piccies.. I love that movie!

[McBain]

Any chance of an Arab food meal? Or some Feather Bowling down on Cadiuex?

[TheSmJ]

Hollywood, CA? Beverly Hills, CA?

[primesuspect]

lol! You have to book the feather bowling alleys for like, 4 months in advance.

Although -tk is good friends with the owners/staff at the Cadieux Cafe.... who knows?

And believe you me, I would love a good middle eastern meal, but I can't forsee an organized trip to a place....

[primesuspect]

Nope, per capita, G.P.Shores is THE wealthiest community in the US.

Every resident is like, at least a multimillionaire... The houses are disgusting.

[McBain]

Anywho....good point about reserving the Cafe 4 months in advance...always forget we go on a tuesday and there is never much of a wait.

So true, it's always the media.

for example Gary, Indiana have a higher crime per person than detorit, and i bet a lot of you never even heard of Gary, Indiana.

[primesuspect]

If you drive to Chicago via I-94 you pass through Gary and it looks like..... well hell, at least Michael Jackson came from Gary..... HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.........

[QCH2002]

Gary Indiana isn't that bad... Gary is just trying to get movie production companies to see how "realistic" of a post war city would look like. Picture it as a live, in use, movie set.

As for the Mike Jackson thing.... now you see why he made his own world to play in.... couldn’t play in Gary.

[primesuspect]

hahahh Gary DOES look like a post-war wasteland, that's true. It looks like the future from "T3"....

[QCH2002]

Before or after the Nukes???

[leishi85]

i'm guessing AFTER??

AM i right??
am i right?

do i get a cookie??

[Mr_Bojingles]

leishi85 had this to say

;D how about THE prize?

[qwikk]

Wendy's and the Bell work for me. :D know if there's an atm around? I don't wanna carry a lot of cash on me, and I'm sure the fast food places don't accept plastic (at least they don't around here, except the Dees).

[primesuspect]

The only fast food places in the vicinity that accept debit is Arby's which is about 4 miles away, and subway.

There are plenty of ATMs everywhere. They are in basically every gas station.

[Camman]

I like to eat fresh at Subway..but I'd rather eat fresh closer to the sarcquarters so I'll have to stick with Bell :)

[Thrax]

Calories++.

Yesssss.

[primesuspect]

Subway is less than a mile away :)

[TheLostSwede]

Burger, pizza and chineese. That's all a nordique need.

[JLunar]

my vote is in for subway and pizza all the way! and as many yummy real food (tm) meals we can fit in as possible.

[Shorty]

Pizzzzzzzzzzzzzaaaa

Oh and anywhere to get a cheese steak??

[GHoosdum]

pizzapizzapizzapizza - manna from heaven for Geeks! Woohoo!

[McBain]

Man....I just realized something....over a given weekend....I eat like 4 times(beer doesn't count)....you guys realize we're slated to eatl like 8 times over 3 days....I do NOT wanna be the guy who cleans your toilets.

[Mr_Bojingles]

mmmm...pizza

[Clutch]

Taco Bell, Wendys, Subway, Pizza is fine with me.

But it is like against my religion to eat at McDonalds, everyone I have been at seems to be the dirt pits of fast food places.

I am with you on McDonalds. Never really cared for chickenhead nuggets like some people do...

[Norge]

Holy crap that is so nasty! The sad thing is that it won't stop me from eating Mcnuggets at all. They are sooo good.

Norge

[Black Hawk]

Wendy's Crispy Chicken Nuggets > Mc Nuggets

[leishi85]

and it's cheaper, 5 piece for 1 dollar.

[Thrax]

Can you imagine ~40 of us swarming a fast food joint? Rofl.

[Black Hawk]

But those 20pc mcnuggets, 2 fries and 2 drinks are pretty good when I haven't eaten the whole day.

[Camman]

Black Hawk had this to say
Wendy's Crispy Chicken Nuggets &gt; Mc Nuggets

I second, pretty much everything from Wendys > McDonalds

[Mr_Bojingles]

After all of this talk, I could really go for a JBC (jr bacon cheeseburger)

JUNIOR bacon chee... JUNIOR bacon chee.... I'm trying to watch the figure....

I heard that was a hoax. It would have been impossible for a chicken head to come out recognizable like that.

From what I know, we might have to call ahead with our order.

heh, I don't think you guys have it, but Harveys > wendy's > mcd's

[GHoosdum]

Harvey's? Like Harvey the Wonder Hamster?

[Camman]

wtf is Harvey's.....the only Harvey's I know is a company that installs windows and like siding

[primesuspect]

Harvey's? Pff..... you mean HARDEE'S -- now, as far as I know, there's only ONE hardee's left in Michigan, but they used to be a kickass chain....

I did see a couple in Wisconsin.... Y'know, the cheese place?

[GHoosdum]

Chuckie Cheese's?

Hardee's back in Phoenix was called "Carl's Jr."
I remember one time the company got in trouble because a guy blew his nose on a hamburger bun and gave it to a cop in the drive-thru.

[Camman]

GHoosdum had this to say
Chuckie Cheese's?

We have one of those around here! I can go there now! (they dont allow people under 18 unless they're like WAY under 18 like the age of the kids who are supposed to be there, guess they dont want a bunch of teenagers causing a rukus)

[McBain]

Sonic anybody??? It looks SO good but there isn't one ANYWHERE I've been. :confused:

//edit: For Beer induced retardation.

[Camman]

yeah I always see the damn Sonic ads....TOO BAD THEY SHOW THE ADS AND THERES NO SONIC RESTAURANTS AROUND HERE....stupid advertisers

Only thing I remember about hardees is that I think it was a Roy Rogers before. They made some bad-ass stuff.

Broccoli + lots of melted cheese = pwnjiness

[Mr_Bojingles]

I remember hardee's!

That place was great. I used to go there when I was 5 and play in the balls :D

[primesuspect]

Hardee's has the most amazing burgers - the Frisco burgers on sourdough buns. Holy c-rap... Too bad there's only one hardee's and it's like 15 miles from my office... :(

[JLunar]

HARVEY'S, boys. I told you that you guys don't have 'em. While now owned by Wendy's, Harvey's is a canadian burger joint.

Wasn't somebody gonna BBQ or something? :D

For all those who have no idea what White Castle is all about, this was just taken mere minutes ago, in my very living room.. Note the time of this post....

This is why they call it "the crave" :D

Well I had 4 last night at the time I took that picture (that's my wifey by the way), and the only negative effect was a 5:30 AM bout of mad heartburn. I woke up, stumbled into the kitchen, and downed about 7 Tums. I woke up at 7:15 with a horrific taste in my mouth, but I am otherwise fine :crazy:

Whity C's heartburn suxorz the most of all heartburns.

It's like the Whity C's crave withdrawl pains.

Yeah....we went to bed @ 4am sunday morning....I woke up 4 hours later....still drunk...to pseudo staring at me and flipping LOUDLY through a maxim with all the lights on.....I tried to ignore him....but his tummy wummy was making him feel bad so I had to drive his ass home. :grumble:
