i love food. i love eating food, i love looking at food, and i love thinking about food. while driving home today, i thought about some of my favorite food/drink combinations, and decided to share them with you. these combinations bring out the best in one another, and the synergy is what [food] dreams are made of.

1. tender, juicy steak and fine red wine. i’m talkin about high quality beef - not the kind you get at outback or applebees. try one of these classy restaurants instead: strip house, ruth’s chris, spark’s steakhouse, morton’s.

2. doughnuts and coffee. fat people across the nation have been exploiting - and in most cases abusing - this killer (figuratively and literally) combo for quite a while now. this delicious duo can be obtained at: krispy kreme, dunkin donuts.

3. hot dog/hamburger/cheeseburger and beer. this combo is the foundation of all barbeques. the success of any given bbq is directly dependent upon the bountiful presence of grilled meat and beer. your local neighborhood bbq is a great place to go to get your hands on this pair.

other notables: fries and softserve, jack and coke (sure, alcohol is a type of food..), kim chi and rice, pho and vietnamese iced coffee with condensed milk.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..

UPDATE: i forgot a few notables: chicken and rice, grilled cheese and tomato soup.
