My friend RT$ gchatted me today, asking me the question above. What a fun little game? Since I had just had an embarassingly non-vegan, large lunch (half a scooped out plain bagel with tuna salad, baby spinch, toamato and onion) I wasn’t really hungry. I didn’t know what to say. But then I really thought about it. If I could have ANYTHING, right NOW, it would be a peice of Red Velvet Cake loaded with icing. I have this really awful onion/tun aftertatse and I think a slice of red velet would do away with it quite nicely. I’m not sure from where, but probably some little bakery in Savannah, GA that Ruby could suggest.
I decided to ask a few of my friends and see what they said as well.
RT$: “A realllly bomb ass burrito with an almost crispy/flakey tortilla.” Loaded up with cheese, naturally. An unfunny amount of cheese!!
Rio: I ask Rio, who’s my loud, vulgar friend from DC. She says, ”Well I just ate lunch…” I tell her this is fine, she can say ‘nothing’ if she wants. She says, “so I’m going with this raspberry and rose dessert from Shit what is it called? The place in Paris known for their macaroons. I know that’s a little SBW [ sidenote: SBW is our friend who I will appoint a better nickname for in the near future, but the woman is OBSESSED with Paris. I think it is primarily because people from Chicago are not allowed to overtly like New York, so they go for Paris. Maybe I will just call her Girl Who is Obsessed with Paris?].
Rio continues, “ but its got layers of puff pastry, raspberries, and rose flavored whipped cream. It’s light and refreshing and perfect for a lovely spring day after lunch. Laduree! They sell it Laduree.” Then Rio asks, “was your answer truffle fries and mayo?” I am slightly embarrassed.
Sexi Lexi: SL is a woman I’ve known since I was 8ish (?) and here is what she would like to eat right now: Creamed Spinach from the Palm “because it’s the most delicious thing…along with my Dad’s crabmeat au gratin.” Sexi Lexi is not sure if she would like to conclude her meal with either a fortune cookie from Tao for dessert, mint chocolate-chip ice cream from Hoffman’s on the Jersey Shore, or tiramisu from Joe Leone’s Italian market (also on Jersey Shore). Sexi Lexi is so sexy, that she once hooked up with the hottest guy on the Yale lacrosse team and when he left his tie in her bed the next day, she sent it to his office with a note that said “Do you want to tie me up in your ties, tie?” This is a very famous line from Caddyshack ( The Yalie’s favorite movie). So sexy right?
The Boy: The Boy says “za.” Za is short for Pizza, which we stole from Michael Scott. The Boy always says za, because The Boy lives in Atlanta where nary a good slice of za is to be found. He wants it to be extra crispy and from Famous Joes on Carmine and 7th Ave.
ReadmeatDC: This is my friend who writes a DC food blog. He knows his food. He recently got drunk and booked a flight to Argentina because he had a hankering for steak. Yeah, so unsurprisingly he responds, “steak frites using hanger steak or maybe a pasta with oxtail or short ribs…steak frites is my ultimate comfort food. Hanger’s my single favorite cut of meat, its so juicy, rich, strong in flavor and depth. it’s so satisfying. And I’m a complete sucker for great fries, so I’d have that right now (or any time) haha.”
Please tell me what your answer is in the comments section! And ask all of your friends…it’s a fun gchat game!!
