Special Late Night Foodie Edition - Grazing at the USAir Club

It's 8:30 PM and your connecting plane is going to be an hour late going home (heading east with another hour of time lost for time zone...yes feel sorry for me -sob, sob). The oasis of choice is the the USAir Club. Being inspired by by nieces Black Coffee and a Donut lobster extravaganza post, I have decided to give you a full blown, culinary description of dinner tonight.

First course, 5 PM - Cheeseburger in concourse of Burbank Airport - There is a pretty darn good little hole in the wall cheeseburger joint next to gate 5 where USAir is located. Burgers are made to order and they have lettuce and lots of tomato.

Second course, 7:15 PM - Double Beefeater Gin, straight with a club soda chaser on flight from LA to Phoenix. The clear gin sets off the clear plastic glass nicely along with the Brazilian music on the IPod

Third Course, 8:45 PM - Cheese and crackers with Sam Adams Beer at USAir Club - A wonderful selection fo 3/4 ounce cheese pieces (cheddar, hard cheddar and monterey jack) in very hard plastic without refridgeration (yum preservatives) along with a selection of micro-crackers from Pepperidge Farms crackers. The crackers were obviously rejects since this brand usually has good flavor and these were designed to match the non-existent flavor of the cheese cum preservatives.

Fourth Course, 9:00 PM - Cape Cod Chips, 1/2 OZ Personal Bag, 70 calories - I love Cape Cod chips. Nice crunch, not too much salt.

Fifth Course, 9:05 PM - Cheetos, Crunchy, 2 OZ Mega Bag - Biggest bag of snack food in the club. I've always had a weakness for Cheetos though I prefer the softer ones.

Oops, plane just arrived, have to go to gate. Should be home before 1 AM. Bon Appetit

Hahahahah! I don't know if it's jealousy I'm feeling reading about your succulent feast, but it's definitely something...

I like how the fourth course lasted five minutes. Classic. I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually less than that.

It's probably indigestion Alexis. And yes Lakeview, course #5 was devoured rather quickly in order to catch the plane.
