The Best Food of the Decade 2000 to 2009

Post by Escapay »

As this particular ten-year period is coming to a close, let us reflect on some of the best food we ate. What were your ten best meals of the decade?

Here's mine...

10. House of Mouse (2001) - I went out with some friends to visit the House of Mouse, and had some excellent "Soup or Salad, Fries or Biscuits, Extra Olives, Donuts." You'd think a combination of donuts and salad would be weird...but it's not! Everything was quite colorful too. And the staff is hilarious!

9. The Olive Garden (2003) - I went there on the recommendation of my piano teacher, Lois Griffin. As she would say, "Me likey breadsticks, me likey breadsticks!" ;)

8. Homemade Lasagna (2000) - While I was robbing a bank, someone behind the counter mentioned how this meant they wouldn't be able to make a lasagna for dinner tonight. I felt sorry for her, so I let her go on the condition that I could help her make it. It was a mighty good lasagna.

7. Brown Derby (2006/1954) - technically it didn't happen in this decade, but in 2006 I acquired a time machine which I used to go back to 1954 to visit the famous Brown Derby in Hollywood. Had an excellent spaghetti and Cobb salad, though I accidentally threw it in William Holden's face.

6. Mulligan Stew (2002) - During the 6 weeks I was homeless in 2002, I would collect scraps of food, and with fellow homeless people, we'd cook it in a great big pot. It always tasted different, but was still good. It was named after Mulligan, the first homeless person to create the stew, but he was eaten by cannibals.

5. Milliways (2007) - while hitchhiking throughout the galaxy, I stopped at Milliways, the restaurant at the end of the universe. Since it was during the end of the universe, I figured it was worth mentioning.

4. Not-Really-The-Best Burger In New York (2008 ) - my friend Marshall told me about how he had the best burger in New York on his first night out in the city, but was never found the place again. After a madcap search, he finally found it, and told me about it. I hate to tell him, but I've had better. :P

3. Quiznos (2009) - eating hospital food for three weeks (well, with a 4-day break) sucks. So it was always a joy when the family would bring me some Quiznos instead. :D

2. Some Pizza Place (2005) - unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the place, but it was in Tlaquepaque, Arizona during our Christmas vacation. I ordered the Pizza y pollo, and it has since been the best pizza I have ever eaten.

1. Earl of Sandwich (2004) - we usually take family vacations to Florida in the odd-numbered years, but in 2004 we took the vacation to pick up Jane, who had finished her WDW College Program. Earl of Sandwich had opened earlier that year, so it was the first time we ever ate there, although Jane had eaten there often. It has since been my favourite restaurant in all of WDW, and is always the first place we eat at whenever we go to Florida. Who knew a simple Caribbean Jerk Chicken Sandwich and Tomato Soup would be the best meal I had in a decade?

If you haven't figured it out, this is a parody of all the "Best Whatevers of 2000 to 2009" that's cropped up now. The only ones that should be taken seriously from my list are 1, 2, & 3. The rest are all fictional stories, some taken from television shows, hehehe.
