...but never buy.

I love me some crispy half-burnt english muffins slathered in butter. Maybe some peach jam too if I'm feeling sporty.
Cheap, widely available, yummy.
So why don't I buy any?
Cause I'm an idiot.

Fish. Costs too much in the grocery store for good knows what quality and it's really easy to ruin. In a restaurant I have to really trust the chef and usually there are better "safe" options even for an adventurous eater as myself...

I do make an exception for crustaceans of any kind and preparation, and fish&chips if the batter looks right...
 
I can’t say in this thread, but, you don’t buy it(well,some do) but you definitely pay for it

I got spoiled with fish livin in the Keys. Grouper, Snapper, Hogfish(the best), and most of those I shot myself. While I was down there, I'd bag me some lobsters too. Usually get close to my limit, 24 per day. My buddy Moses, his Dad was a shrimper. He'd come over with 5 gallon buckets of Jumbo's.
Fried, baked, butterfly, steamed, chowder...we had so much of it we'd throw it to the cats.
 
Bagels with cream cheese and strawberry jam.
Im the only one in the house who eats them, and I dont eat them everyday, so the last couple end up moldy.
 
All red meat and most fish. I'm the only meat eater in my house so I'm not smoking any butts that cost 20-30 dollars for me to enjoy 2-3 times.

I have been getting lucky and getting a piece of steak usually sirloin and piece of salmon to eat each week for the last 4-5 weeks. Doing that I've lost almost 10 pounds. I just throw it in the air fryer and it's done.

Hmmm, the only things I'm forgoing right now are carbs, so fresh bread, regular bread starches etc I'm cutting back on.
Weird how I still feel hungry after a huge steak and veggies...

Home made pimento cheese dip.
Shredded cheddar or 4 cheese blend.
And it had Reaper and Ghost pepper added to the mix of peppers in it.

Also, my wife's gone made clam chowdah. Better than anything you'll get in a restaurant.

Italian Hot Beef Sandwiches and Chicago style hot dogs. Only reason I don't buy them is they are impossible to find outside of Chicago.

I always grab one (extra celery salt) when passing thru O'Hare airport, regardless of the hour. :rolleyes:

Good man. My mother is from Lombard Ill and I have been known to have Vienna Beef hotdogs shipped down for mother's day.
 
Late season Wood Duck breasts, slow simmered in homemade morel mushroom sauce...breasts are in the freezer now, waiting on the morels to bust soil next month (then I got to find them)...a once a year feast.

Also really, really enjoy a good low country boil anytime of the year...shrimp or crabs (sometimes both), sausage, red taters, cob corn, onions, etc...

That sounds awesome. It should be a good year for the morels with all the rain we have had. I used to have some great spots for them but since the turkey population expoloded it has been tough to find enough to mess with.

Portillo's is my idea of paradise. My grandparents lived 1/4 mile from the original location.

I also grew up a few miles from the original location.
My next door neighbor owned the company that supplied the beef.
We got to buy it from him for cost!
Man-o-man, I crave Portillos now!

Small world indeed!
I keep wishing for Portillos to franchise here.
THAT would be great.

I have heard rumors that one is coming to NC. Dick Portillo sold the chain a few years ago and exspainsion plans are in the works.
 
THAT would make me one happy guy!
Thousands of people would also get to enjoy Portillos as well!
Can't get here fast enough for me.
Whenever I visit Chicagoland, Portillos is at the top of my places to visit.
 
FROG LEGS, that's right ya damned Yankees, FROG LEGS!! If I'm by myself it's sauteed legs and chips, if I want to impress someone I'll make Hush Puppies.
I refuse to buy farm raised frog legs, their too soft and mushy for me. I much prefer to harvest them myself, at night when the Boogie Man is out and about and hungry for fresh HUMANS...... Ya'll better stay in after dark, there's "thing's" out there waiting for ya.....
