(Jimmy's Before Pic.)
Jimmy Short is looking for advice. He is in Orlando at a convention, being wined and dined. Is concerned with blowing his diet (eating out a lot, others picking up the tab). So naturally he is looking for advice from those of us who have traveled a lot.....
Here is my advice (hope you loose a lot of weight):
- If they bring it to the table and set it on fire, order it
- Common place items that are overpriced, $40 meatloaf, $50 hamburger, $18 potato chips with blue cheese crumbles, $25 Mac & Cheese....... order it
- Any dessert that has to be ordered before your main course
- Chilean Sea Bass, order it, even at a steak restaurant
- Caesar Salad made at table side, order it, yes go with the sardines
- Pan Fried Foie Gras
- Baby animals, or endangered animals, order it, except wooly mammoth, they’re gross
- Chocolate mousse or Crème Brulee, order both
- Decaf coffee with alcohol (be sure to tell the staff Decaf), nothing worse than overeating, being drunk, and being wired…… trust me
- After dinner drinks that are older than you, bonus points when older than parents, grandparents, or famous historical figures
That’s off the top of my head, I’m sure there’s more. Good luck!!!
Anyone else have tips for Jimmy?
Don't forget airport snacks to keep the metabolism going between the main course meals during your boondoggle. Cinnabun has a low sodium bun that's fab-o. Due to the low salt, they make it a bit larger (think about the size of Andre The Giants head). Anyway, keep that fire burning and you'll burn calories all day long. Good luck.

Jimmy, we have known each other since 2nd grade, and Bryan since 3rd grade.
ReplyDeleteWho are you going to listen to.... someone you've known all your life (me), or someone you just met (Bryan)? ;-)
All I have to say is that Spencers:

Has a great house Cabernet and a very fancy menu. They start every meal with an amuse bouche that changes daily. They had steaks, chops, a variety of seafood and sides. The one thing that stood out on the menu above all else that was totally out of place was the hash browns.
Imaging if you will… Cracker Barrel hash brown casserole in a 1600 degree cast iron skillet. The high heat created a beautiful crust on the outside and a melt in your mouth buttery filling. Top it off with a dollop of sour cream and chives. Yikes!!!
