Misconstrued Thoughts : Yesterday's Misconstrued Thoughts Today

This week I will share with you highlights from this years annual trip of a lifetime. One of the odd parts of this trip was, well, food was a big part of the trip. So today we'll talk about some food highlights.

First off, Philidelphia. What do you think of when you hear Philidelphia? Cheesesteak? Thats right. And we did grab us one (sure it was split 4 ways)... but it was pretty good (and of course eating something at its place of origin is always notable!)

Whats the second thing you think of when you hear Philidelphia? Cream Cheese? Thats right... So why not a cheese cake? Well we experienced that as well. We're talking the best piece of Cheese Cake I've eaten in my entire life. (And thats after eating at 4 resteraunts already in the last 3 hours).

But not to be forgot with Philidelphia was Tasty Kake! Tasty Kake you say? Thats right, this nice lil morsels of fat and sugar splendid joy were one of the delights of the trip. I'm not sure what it was that was the excitment of the tasty kake (was it the spelling (finally they spelled kake as I had)... or was it that large bill board on the way into town? Either way, the Tasty Kake Took hold of us!. Soon we had purchased most all available types.

Then we headed out on a tasty kake adventure of the city. A what? Well basically we would eat a tasty kake at each significant spot.. so we could always associate, for instance, choclate donuts with the liberty bell. (They both are round, these were mini donuts, like the liberty bell is smaller than expected">. And they were stale a dissapointment, just like the liberty bell.

Then there was coffee cake at Liberty Hall (you dream up the connection) and
something green and sweet at the US Mint.

In the end, everyone hated tasty cakes, because, well to many sweets are always bad... although right now I'm craving a Cream Filled Coffee Kake... Mmm it was good. (And it has something to Do with Edgar Allen Poe).

Well the next night we ate at a morocan resteraunt. And what an experience that was! We're talking 7 courses of good times. We're talking eating with your hands, we're talking everyone eating from the same plate... we're talking food consuption at its most primeval nature ( you should have seen us rip into that chicken...) We're talking belly dancers! Or not... :-( (They were all off duty for mothers day).

OK enough of Philly, now off to Chicago. Well Chicago is known for a few things. Hotdogs, I had the best hot dog of my life in chicago, if there can be gourmet hotdogs (and now I believe in them). Then, well, they come from chicago.

Of course too a trip to chicago is not complete without visiting rock n roll mcdonalds. OK really its not very special. But since the great wesly willis did sing about it, well you have to see its greatness! Take a listen to Rock and Roll McDonalds by Wesley Willis. After a couple of souvenier hamburger wrappers (nope I didn't actually buy the hamburger just ask for the wrappers).... that experience was complete.

And once again whats the main thing you think of with Chicago? Pizza... thats right. Giordano's is some amazing pizza, One piece is a meal in itself. Like no other pizza you've ever had.

Well after a train trip across the country upgrading from beanie winnies in the couch section to new york strip in the upgraded sleeper section. We were in California where no eating was needed until the last day...

San Fransico.... Food? Everyone thinks of Fishermans Wharf. We had a good meal at an old family owned restaurant. Some of the best seafood i've ever had.

Full? or are you Hungry? That was my experience of eating acroos the country in one week.
