Or yeah, make your own pizza and use turkey pepperonni.

where do you buy two chicken wings?
Schnucks salad bar. Honey glazed wings. mmm!

The Pepper is pretty good -- especially their cheese tostadas. I don't really go there that much anymore... I used to go a lot during high school, though.

The best thing about that place is that whenever you go there, you will almost assuredly see someone you know.

Of course that doesn't tell you much. When I was there we were going to eat it for lunch but I was too hungover. My wife says they make these unique "grinders" that have taco meat or something on them but I never got to try it.

I believe you can order it and they ship it in dry ice. I would really like to see a menu....calling kyle!

I think the only menu they have is up on a board on the wall.

Junk food is weird for me these days. I pretty much don't eat overly sweet desserts anymore like twinkies, chocolate, candy bars, icecream, etc. I don't crave 'em, and don't eat them. I couldn't tell you the last time I had icecream.

But things like greasy fast food, anything with cheese, etc, the supposed "Sixth Taste" or "Umami" or whatever it's called; that's what gets me.

One of the more conservative things I might do late at night to satisfy a craving for that is just make a grilled cheese sandwich on the George Foreman grill or something like that to satisfy it. It's weird.

Cheese is addictive and so is meat, but not as much so I don't think. Either way, if you eat a lot of it, and don't get it for a while, you'll definitely have an urge. I've tried going a week without cheese and it's crazy.

Substitute a different word for cheese and this message is oh so naughty.
