Give Me Chili (then) Give Me Death!

When you have limited funds you definitely find out where your priorities are. Ross and I set out on our date to get a bite to eat and we ended up at The Hat.

The Hat is an amazing place to eat. I don't even like pastrami sandwiches, and I love their pastrami sandwich. But, because funds were limited, we decided to just get chili cheese fries.

Chili cheese fries at The Hat are an experience. A Southern California cultural experience. I still remember my first time.



The chili cheese fries are one of the finest example of delicious, delicious American gluttony. For something so artery-clogging, it really is a delicate thing of beauty. The way it is masterfully layered so you always have the right proportion (or waaay more) of chili and cheese and fry.

We took a moment to appreciate the fact that our date night entailed sharing an order of chili cheese fries (which, we couldn't even finish). Afterwards we walked around Victoria Gardens and got some cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory.



Chili and cheesecake. Love at first sight!
