OMG! This one really resonated!! Not a meal just random sides: potato chips, for sure, with a Diet Coke! Real tapioca pudding! And Tates chocolate chip cookies! Throw in a steak from time to time and I’m sailing!

Some meals (In-N-Out, Howlin' Ray's, Hot Wings Cafe) have come and gone as my digestive system has lost its...elasticity?...flexibility?...willingness to forgive?...but the one go-to-even-though-you'll- pay-for-it-later meal remains pizza. When I was a kid at my parents' restaurant I would stop on the way home after school and make my own personal pizza - extra sauce, extra cheese, and white onion - with a side of fries. I'd go for that in a heartbeat today, but after a while my heart might decide to stop beating, so I've dropped the fries. Still, I can pack away half of a large pizza without thinking. Which is probably the best way to eat half a large pizza. With a cold beer in summer or a glass of red wine in winter. Oh, man, that sounds so good.

Hilarious, Will. As for me, well, there's a drive-through Baskin & Robbins in Burbank. Sometimes I've found myself "needing" to go on an errand nearby, y'know? Then, when working long hours on set, I have been known to order the best thing in the world and have it brought to me (yes, some nice people brought it to me) : A grilled cheese on sourdough with a beautiful fountain Coke on ice.

My pantheon includes In N Out, Wingstop, Panda Express ... and if I'm feeling extra devilish in the dark of night ... a vaunted Oreo Cookie Shake from Jack in the Box *drools loudly*

Two words: Taco Bell. A few years ago I heard a rumor that some of their protein was from dried worms. A swore off them, then after 15 months I cracked, and plunged back in with 4 tacos. It's my cheat spot. For now and forever.

A Solly's super cheese butter burger with a grilled slice of onion and a side of fries. It's a Milwaukee institution and favorite business development resource for the city's cardiologists.

Peanut butter & jelly slathered in between two pieces of twisted challah bread. Kettle chips, creamy cole slaw and a salty pickle.

As a matter of fact, just finished indulging and it was delicious! And now starting my fast for Yom Kippur. 😂

I'm with Susan. Potato chips. That's my weakness. Otherwise I do okay, choosing string beans over dessert any time. (And why do you make it sound like Taco Bell isn't healthy? Huh?)
