If you could have three food stands that would deliver to your house whenever you liked, and it was free (amazing, what a windfall!) but you could only have one menu item from there ever, what would you choose? All choices make the best food ever, of course!
For example, if you choose McDonald's, and Big Mac's, then it's Big Mac's forever from there.
Giving it thought, I've decided on, in no particular order:
1 - A no-brand burrito stand. The best burrito stands I ever ate at were not big chains. I figure that I can eat a beef burrito day or night, and often, and it's not even unhealthy food.
2 - Chicken. I would love to find a place that made really good chicken. I used to love KFC. One particular KFC on Western Ave. in L.A. used to make a bbq'd version out of end-of-the-day regular style chicken of theirs. That gave it a great, almost caramelized coating on it. I was addicted! If I had my druthers, I'd hope that it came as a meal with mashed potatoes, gravy, and coleslaw. But, I wouldn't turn down the chicken alone, if that's the only way that I could get it!
And, 3 - I was debating pizza or hamburgers, but have decided to go for transporting the Astro Burger stand from Santa Monica Blvd...there's another but it's not as good...back from the days when I ate there.
I would want their patty melts, huge boxes of house made onion rings - the best I ever had - with containers of their not-hot, and not soaked in jalapeno, pepperoncini's!
Now, if I could have a 4th, 5th, and 6th, I'd move our original Pizza Man from the bottom of our hill in L.A. here, followed by Shelly's hamburger stand (They were the English couple who had the small stand that Dh used to go to as a child with his paper corner money. And took me there before we were married.) which had great burgers and served rootbeer, get this, in a glass mugs that they kept in the freezer! I mean, it was a stand, and they handed over glass rootbeer mugs! Oh yes, and potato chips.
And, remember, I said no particular order...I would pluck Philippe's from downtown L.A. and set them right here. I won't complicate things, and go for the beef French dip!
Okay, that's enough, getting hungry now! How about you?
