Q: What is the first thing you eat when you get back to your home country after leaving China?
Mexican or just some southern style food (fried chicken, dumplins, meatloaf, biscuts and gravy)
After a year in China, I came back on Christmas Day, when everything was closed. So, ironically, on my first day back my family and I went to a Chinese buffet since that was the only thing open.
I said xie xie to the waiter, who sheepishly replied with your welcome in English.
First would be a real NY style thin crust pizza! Secondly -..a nice (grilled!) thick cut rib-eye steak..
Grandy's Chicken Fried Steak or Texas size steak with extra gravy and Jack N the Box Cheesecake
I go to White Spot for a BC Chicken Burger (or a wild salmon burger) with a REAL Caesar salad and a Kokanee (or 3).
Usually it is real, honest to goodness buffalo wings and a side of curly fries with paprika. Then, for dessert, some hot apple pie with vanilla ice cream. Simple food, but really, really good.
IN-N-OUT cheeseburger. Gonna have one in a couple of weeks.

Everything closed in Chicago on Christmas Day? I have never seen that before. Not in the suburbs, for sure, perhaps the bigger stores in the Loop,but my God, Devon Avenue closed? I don't think so...Andersonville closed? I don't think so either. Who knows maybe things have changed.
