How Delicious Are You? A Taste Test
Let’s play a game called How Delicious Are You? because it is the Summer of Sarah, aka SoS, and I need to find some delicious partners in crime, aka PiCs, making them SoS PiCs.
I ask you questions – some multiple choice, some fill-in-the-blank – you answer in the comments, and when the Gamemaster (that would be me) decides the game is over , I’ll post the answers. We’ll see how compatible we are!
Please, darling doll of a reader, if you’re reading this, don’t leave me blogging out here all alone. Play the game. My psyche just can’t afford to relive some of the more traumatic memories of my childhood. Do you know how traumatizing it is to play Four Square by yourself?!
How Delicious Are You (or Can We Be SoS PiCs?)
1. What was the last thing you ate?
2. Licorice...black or red?
3. Red...Twizzlers or Red Vines?
4. Your idea of the perfect dinner out is:
- Candlelit dinner for two at Valentino
- Buffalo wings and beer at Q’s with the boyz (or girlz)
- Omakase sushi at my favorite sushi place (If you can name my favorite sushi place, you win automatically)
- Souplantation with a 2-for-1 coupon
- Soju-fueled fun and kBBQ at Shik Do Rak
- Other (please specify)
- You’re driving
- I’m driving
- Drive? Are you crazy? Taxi!
- Other (please specify)
- 10% - If the server’s lucky.
- 15% - Clearly I’ve never worked as a server before.
- 20% - Standard.
- 80% - Hey, remember who you’re out to dinner with! Are you trying to hook up with the server?
- I don’t tip.
- Beggars can’t eat choosers. Hamburger Helper every night. Sans hamburger.
- Once a month, and if we order in, that counts as “eating out”
- Once a week. Like maybe Friday. Or Saturday. Whichever day you don’t already have a date.
- Every night, baby, and it’s always Delicious.
9. What are you cooking for dinner?
- “What are you cooking?”
- Boiled Oscar Meyer filets on a bed of macaroni de bleu box
- Top sirloin medium-rare on the grill on the patio. No sauce.
- Halibut poached in olive oil served with something I can’t pronounce
- Other (impress me)
11. Do you drink the milk at the bottom of the cereal bowl?
12. What food has made you cry? And if food has never made you cry, let me take you to Table8 for a grilled cheese sandwich and some deep-fried chorizo-stuffed olives.
I'll post the answers some time soon, and we can score. Highest score wins!

12. What food has made you cry? And if food has never made you cry, let me take you to Table8.

5. You picked the perfect dinner. Now how are we getting there?

10. Breakfast...savory or sweet, and give an example, in graphic detail, because I’m hungry.
All of the above. Fried eggs with tabasco, homemade biscuits with homemade fruit preserves -- fig, pumpkin and apricot all work well. Homemade Kentucky breakfast sausage AND Niman Ranch bacon. Three shots of espresso.
11. Do you drink the milk at the bottom of the cereal bowl?
Isn't that the best part?
12. What food has made you cry? And if food has never made you cry, let me take you to Table8 for a grilled cheese sandwich and some deep-fried chorizo-stuffed olives.
Boys don't cry. Just ask The Cure. But a few momorable items in recent memory have been some incredible roasted squid at Pescheria, a salad with shaved raw artichoke at Incanto and homemade Thai sausage made with friends. The last one brought me close to the brink of tears for its sheer beauty.
1. Cabeza
2. Red red red
3. Ummm red vines
4. Sushi turns my world, but very few Itamai will awe me with their tasting menu. Soju and side dishes on the other hand, have never let me down.
5. Drive? It’s in my kitchen.
6. 20% unless they work exceptionally hard to earn that 15%
7. When the mood strikes or I hear about somewhere new and exciting.
8. Soju, thawing octopus, nattou
9. Takoyaki (if the octopus is thawed by the time I get home from work.)
10. Miso soup, nattou, sticky rice, broiled makerel, sautéed green onion and toumyou with shoyu, Green tea. You will feel like a rockstar all day afterward.
11. There are people who don’t drink the milk?

Ok I'll play, too.

1. Tandoori Chicken (Passage to India, Wichita KS)
2. Red, or those little black ones from Dean & DeLuca that are smothered in marzipan.

4. Depends on the mood. Wings sound good though.
5. I don't care. I can drive.
6. 20%, even after the server accidently dumped a glass of tea on my lap. And I laughed for 10 minutes about it.
7. I eat out too often already.
8. Leftover Portabello lasagna. Rum, because I love it cold. Proto-ice cream. That's the stuff that could eventually become homemade ice cream given the opportunity.
9. Boring. Either grilling the chicken or reheating some lasagna. And that chicken can take another day.
10. Both. Pancakes and sausage at my favorite diner. Served with homemade brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon syrup.
11. Duh. It's the best part.
12. Double Cheeseburger from the Burger Station in Winfield, KS. The place was a gas station in the 1920's. It was converted to a burger place when the owner realized he had gas, but that town had no cars. Over 80 years of burger perfection. Meat, bun, cheese, mustard, pickles and onions cut so thin and grilled so perfectly you will never see their like any where else... Excuse me, I have something in my eye.
Ohhh, I wanna play!
1. What was the last thing you ate?
-A mojito cupcake from Cream Puffs In Venice's blog. SO GOOD.

11. Do you drink the milk at the bottom of the cereal bowl?
-Rarely. I tend to leave about a tablespoon of it left in my bowl.
12. What food has made you cry? In Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico, I had the best Rib Eye in my entire life. It was from this Argentinian steakhouse called La Portena, and the beef was so delicious, it brought a tear to my eye. I seriously contemplated eating just that for dinner. No salad. No bread. Just meat. Is that weird?
1. Bad takeout sushi. (YUK - NEVER AGAIN!)
2. Red, of course.
3. Twizzlers, of course. But they've gotta be stale! Fresh Twizzlers are gross.
4. Omakase sushi at your favorite place, of course.
5. Car service, of course.
6. Never less than 20% even if the service is bad. But if the service is bad the 20% entitles me to tell the server what a loser they are.
7. Every night, of course. Some nights several times, depending on the mood.
8. A bottle of good champagne (Veuve Cliquot "La Grande Dame"). A bottle of cheap champagne (Schramsburg). Nam pla.
9. Tonite I am not cooking I am "dining". Besides there's nothing in the 'fridge except for champagne and fish sauce.
10. Savory, of course. Start with a few oysters, then a lighter-than-air omelet (a la "La Mere Poulard") with home-made boar sausage. (Oh yeah, like they make that at IHOP!)
11. Absolutely but the protocol requires that it be consumed out of the bowl by lifting the bowl to your mouth and slurping. Any other style of consumption violates tha laws of the Universe.
12. The chef's table "menu du jour" at Tru in Chicago. Ten courses of mouthly wonderfullness.

10. Sweet. This morning's course: Honey Nut Cheerios - delightfully crunchy Os floating atop what should be creamy whole milk, but alas! I only have 2%. Each bite is so perfectly sweet and almondy (yes it's a word) that you really can taste the mass produced love and care General Mills puts into its cereal products.
11. Drink the milk at the bottom? No. I add more cereal.
12. Trying Kobe beef for the first time + having the perfect brownie at Extraordinary Desserts, San Diego. That grilled cheese you speak of must really be mind blowing...

9. Other. California Seafood Laksa, which is my version that lightens up the broth and is made with almost all organic and local items.
10. Not into Breakfast due to my vampire like aversion to mornings but love doing brunch for friends such as chorizo & raclette cheese stuffed crepes, coddled eggs topped with a spicy ahi tuna poki, fresh oysters, and spicy homemade heirloom tomato "surf & turf style" Bloody Marys, which has spikes of clam juice & beef bouillon.
11. Yep, and once for a party I made homemade ice-cream with this as the secret flavor. Big hit!
12. My crying moment have been many as I'm lucky to have traveled the world for the last five years but two stand outs were when both chefs cooked off the standard tasting menu with special wine pairs as well, Fat Duck in England and Charlie Trotters in Chicago.
