Title: Who's in for Sonic on Monday?
Post by: JaneDoe on February 25, 2011, 12:16:19 pm
Just a reminder to those of us who celebrate the first Spring Training game with a trek to Mecca---Monday is footlong chili cheese time!

do y'all meet at the same Sonic, or is it a meeting in spirit kind of thing?  I will be glad to gorge myself on Sonic Monday, but cannot guarantee where I will be when that takes place...

We don't meet.  We just figured out that a bunch of us had this tradition on the first Spring Training game, sort of by accident.

Nope.  This fulfills my one coney per year limit.

I hope Sonic still carries those big-ass quarter-pound chili dogs, because if they do that's what I'm getting.

Holee Shite Muslim!!!

My traditional footlong chili cheese, tater tots (with cheese) and Route 44 Lemon Berry Slush is a whopping 1890 calories, with 85 g of fat and 252 carbs.  That is like 3 or 4 days for me, thank goodness Spring Training only happens once a year.

I've already made plans. I've been thinking about it since pitchers and catchers reported.

Of course, at some point, I wonder if it wouldn't be better to just make some dogs here at work. Something I might survive.

Maybe you should leave the cheese off the tots. That's what I'm going to do.

I'm going to forgo the Route 44 in favor of a large Cherry Lime-aid.

Tots without cheese? Next you will tell me no mustard and onions on the coney.

Why would you put mustard on a chili dog?

No, the correct choice would be Shiner, but my local Sonic is fresh out.

Because, like onions and cheese, it tastes good.

I can't believe respectable Texans are calmly discussing mixing chili and mustard.

Once chili becomes a condiment, everything changes.

How funny. The 13-yr-old came home with a fundraiser today... Sonic discount cards. $5 apiece, good at any Sonic.

Hmm...Sonic's website says there's one in Raleigh.  I guess I might be able to make it.  Surprising, since I don't think I've seen one driving around since I moved here.

If not, I ate lunch in the bar from 'Bull Durham' today...that's a pretty damn good way to start off a season, if I do say so myself!

Mitch's.  Cool little place, though it sort of turned into a Bull Durham shrine.  At any rate, if there's no Sonic around, there's no better place to eat lunch on a nice spring day in Raleigh than the Char-Grill.

Can I get away with substituting a Berliner Currywurst?  No Sonic here.  (McDonalds & Burger King, however, have made their unfortunate appearances.)

Give it a shot, but remember, a substitute is just a substitute.
