    I got a ride into town once and there was a Little Cesar's next door to the grocery store so I ordered a large pizza and then went in the store to shop. I bought 2 pounds of chicken breast, a pound of bacon, a pound of cheddar cheese, a tub of sour cream, 2 large baking potatoes, 8 kaiser rolls from the bakery and a box of ice cream sandwiches. I sat on the curb in front of the store and ate the entire pizza within about 5 minutes, then polished off the entire box of ice cream sandwiches while waiting for my ride back to the hostel where I used the BBQ grill to cook the rest. Everything was eaten before I went to bed that night.

    After a 28 mile hiking adventure during hurricane Irene, which included an overnight tent stay during the storm. My son and I went to Millers tavern in NJ, and ordered....1 large well done roasted garlic pizza, 2 dozen of there hot wings, 1 California chicken cheesesteak, 2 large Bass ales, 2 double shots of Jameson and an order of steamers.

    paradise!

    1 of each on the dollar menu, with a additional Mc Gangbang (TM) is the only way to go

    Congrats

    So what did you do for Dinner? Rolls
    Rolls down the hill, Kanardly hike up the other hill
    May all your hikes have clear skies, fair winds and no rocks under your pad.

    Sorry, no pictures, but one of my most memorable meals was in '98 when I finished the CDT at Waterton Lakes in BC.
    I really wanted to celebrate, and it's such a beautiful place, I went to the best restaurant in town and couldn't decide between Thai food and caribou.
    So, I ordered them both. With red wine.
    Awesome meal for an awesome trail in an awesome place.

    In Hiawassee, my first AT NOBO trail stop:

    At an Italian Restaurant, I think it was Cafe Portofino: two Caesar salads, one large fried Calamari appetizer, one side order of spaghetti w/ vodka sauce, one bowl of pasta e fagioli soup, Eggplant Cafe Alla Portofino entree,and cherry cheesecake for dessert. I drank about three cokes. Pacer, the other thru-hiker I was with, ate two dinners. We were in this restaurant two hrs 15 mins eating.

    After eating all that, while walking back to the Hiawassee Inn, we stopped at a convenience store where I nuked a large bean and cheese burrito and drank a 64 oz Gatorade and bought a large bag of Sun Chips. It was all gone but a few of the chips remaining by the time we neared the Inn. By the time we got to the hotel room I said, "I still have room in the tank. I'm going over to Subway." Pacer said he had a little more room but didn't want to over eat. Mind you he just ate two full dinners as much as me over at the Italian place not more than 2 1/2 hrs ago and just ate a double cheeseburger and drank almost a qt of milk also from the convenience store!

    I went over to the, I think it was Subway, and ordered a 12" turkey and cheese sub cut into four pieces. I thought I would share half the sub with Pacer despite him saying what he said at the hotel room. At the room 3/4 of the sub was left. I ate a 1/4 of the sub as I walked back to the room. Pacer had bought a cooler he had in the room loading it up with some soft drinks and alcohol. I drank a 12 oz soda and ate another 1/4 of the sub. Pacer ate a nibble off a 1/4 of the sub. I ate the left overs eating almost a full 12'" turkey and cheese sub.

    This was when I became aware of how addicted to sometimes over eating I was and felt I needed to makes some healthier dietary adjustments despite the thru-hiking mindset that okays over eating in town and mass consumption of junk food. I became intimately and shockingly aware of how spoiled, wasteful, and mass consuming I had become in a U.S. culture that often encourages this type of behavior.

    Stop 1- Nice restaurant-
    Special- Lover's Lobster Dinner for Two. Two big Maine Lobsters, Corn on the cob, Garlic Mashed Taters, and mixed veggies. Added a plate of fries to the meal. Washed it down with 4 or 5 24 oz. Drafts of Newcastle.
    Took about two hours sit down to exit.

    Stop 2- Hiker friendly bar found twenty minutes after leaving the nice restaurant.
    Bacon Double Cheeseburger with double order of fries. Some other odd bar appetizers I can't recall.
    Accompanied the meal with a half a bakers dozen Irish Pints (20oz) of Guinness and a large rocks glass of peppermint schnapps type liquor(still not sure why).
    Took about 4 hours sit down to stumbling exit.

    Probably my most obscene (and costly) town stop.

    After I finished the JMT last year I hit the mexican restaurant in Lone Pine for dinner, and wasn't full when I left so I hit the taco truck on the way back to the hotel. Then the next day still in Lone Pine I hit the buffet at the Merry-Go-Round (chinese), and after 3 heaping plates of at least one of everything they had I was stuffed. As a matter of fact, I paid for it the rest of the day as I was quite uncomfortable.

    I don't know what true thru hiker hunger is like, but if it's worse than the hunger I had after 3 weeks on the JMT then YIKES!!!
