This thread is for everyone wishing to escape them....I will start off the post by saying I love a good pizza and beer. Chicago style with a guiness or maybe a Boddingtons pub ale.....

I am still thinking about the corned beef thread from Monday

I love beer and scotch. Just getting into wine but it seems too complicated for this man's humble tastes. Beer is Stella, Becks, Pilsner Urquell and some other local microbreweries. Scotch is the Balvenie 12yr doublewood, Macallan 18yr, Laphroaig.

Food - too numerous to mention. Wife and I both cook, I make a decent braised lamb stew, wife likes to cook vietnamese and cambodian.

We just bought a new gas range, supposed to be delivered today, so that will undoubtedly spur a burst of innovative cooking...hope it lasts!

On a slight tangent - anyone know of a steakhouse in Fort Myers called 'Wilson' or 'Smith's' or something like that? Best key lime pie I have ever had, and I am trying to remember what the place was called...thanks!

I love corned beef, pastrami, too!

I'm making a faltering attempt at doing the Atkins Diet again, so pizza is out for the time being. I do love pizza, though.

The Atkins works great if you stick to it. I've dropped 20+ pounds since Sep, most of which was in the first two months and have kept it off. Good luck with it!

Bier: Hoffbrau haus mit ein pretzl or Paulander Spring fest. There is a German resturant in Indy (Rastkeller), that has good pretzels and Spaten Optimator is very good. Roulladen is very good if done right.

You'd whither away to nothing if not for the carbed beer!

You are correct, the only carbs I take in is beer carbs. I mostly grill meat like steak, chicken, pork ribs and such.

Helpplease I'm from Louisiana but New York thin crust pizza and beer are the best....at least my New York style thin crust is; we make our own crust and all. I do agree about the type of beer though

The Crawfish season is just starting here so in about a month or two my focus will be on boiled mudbugs the pizza will have to wait.

Hmm...that could be it...?

I'm a one of beer's biggest fan's I almost always pass in liquor if beer is available.

When is comes to fine dining I prefer lamb and crab but am starting to have a like for sushi if its very fresh.

On the other side New York pizza and wings, there's a pizza place in Watertown that has a buffalo wing pizza that is heavenly. I'm looking into have some half cooked models shipped.

and I've never not liked anything cajun.

Local forecast (Lafayette) is an abundant season and good prices. I hope so. Prices last year were very good but the crawfish were smaller than usual until late, when their shells start getting thicker and harder. Not that it slowed me down much ....

Rauchbier & boiled crawfish? Hmmmmm sounds PDG!
