Rat Food

Last night I took Kelly on a fancy date to the Food Court. We ate at Orange Julius and Hot Dog on a Stick, both places that (as far as I know) can only be found in mall food courts. I told Kelly that she should blog the experience (to make all of the other girls jealous), but she rightly pointed out that food blogs are my territory.

First, Orange Julius. Did that place used to be good? It's been a long time since I've had anything from that place, but I swear I remember liking it. I was wrong. The Orange Julius was mostly crushed ice, with only a squirt of over-ripe orange as a poor excuse for flavor. If you used to like them, I suggest leaving it in the realm of memory.

As for Hot Dog on a Stick, I'd never been there, but I respect the establishment for its ability to generate mockery from every TV show ever set in a mall. I loved it for the same reason that Kelly didn't: Everything is fried. I'm sure for years the only thing they served was corn dogs, but they have expanded into battered and fried cheese. Disgustingly awesome.

What says "I love you" better than a Hot Dog on a Stick? Certainly, nothing better comes to my mind. I think I'm going to start a new tradition by buying my future fiance a deep fat fried corn dog instead of an engagement ring. Who could say no to a proposal like that?

Heck, I'd marry you for a corn dog.
