Since this is a fantasy I would say Rick Bayless. Mmmmmmmmmm...

@thedilettantista: Yep you caught me, I also have a love affair with all things steampunk. You're probably the first person to make that connection. :)

We were smoking in a treehouse at a field party when rumors surfaced that the cops were on the way. How someone knew that, who knows, it was probably just an excuse to end the party. Anyway, we were driving around and I expressed my desire for cheese pizza and chocolate cake. We got a call that a friend of ours was having a birthday party so we stopped by. I walked into the kitchen and no joke there was a huge cheese pizza and her chocolate birthday cake sitting on the counter. I swear I heard angels singing. I ate them simultaneously, a piece of cake in one hand a piece of pizza in the other. They tasted great together at the time...

I want to open my own restaurant featuring hot wings, tacos, chili, and barbecue.

Or host Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. That's definitely my dream job.

I really like Triumph, that place looks great. Upon searching other places nearby I also found Eulogy Bar. These places look along the lines of where we want to go if we can't do waterfront.

Any opinions on Monk's versus Eulogy?

Also, if we fail to make it in time could you suggest a place nearby to go for dinner? We're two guys who will pretty much eat anything but are looking for something different. We'd like to keep the bill under $80 for the two of us. No Italian, French, or seafood. Dessert will be a toasted marshmallow milkshake from the Stand. I've been dreaming about it ever since I saw if featured on SE.

My favorite restaurant burger was the double cheeseburger I had at Shakeshack a few weeks ago.

My favorite homemade burger would be my dad's burger which contains worcestershire sauce and red onion topped with cheddar and ketchup on a nondescript roll.

Wow that is pretty sweet. Well, if nothing else I can walk around and listen to free music hehe.

@James: Yeah, Ixia is way better than Brewer's Art. Right on.

Grilled tuna steaks with grilled zucchini and squash. Simple and awesome.

My mother was a big fan of the Old El Paso taco kits when I was growing up. I didn't have real tacos until I was in my early adulthood. But still, the memories that go along with thinking about piling around the table and woofing down our box-built cardboard hard shell tacos bring a smile to my face. One bite, and the entire hard shell exploded into a makeshift taco salad. I do still crave the powder seasoned ground beef from time to time but definitely not the grocery store tomatoes, pre-shredded discount cheese, or the aforementioned brittle tasteless shell.
