I’m not saying go sit down in one, I’m saying call, get some shit to go, grub. Win win win. I would still have to get dressed and go inside to pick up the order. Outback is the only place I can think of who provides curb service for takeout orders. ---

Thank you for explaining :). Down the road from my house is a delicious Mexican place that delivers. I haven’t ordered from them in ages, but man, it is a handy service. ---

You didn’t read the Doper Rules to Live by Handbook did you? > > Rule #153: "There is no tasty or nutritious food available at any chain restaurant and they have to be avoided at all costs no matter what the circumstances. They are tools of a right-wing capitalist conspiracy. Quality food can only be found in locally owned establishments run by a husband and wife team known by the code names "Mom’ and “Pop”. They escaped oppressive regimes in the old country to smuggle in carefully guarded recipes ranging from Chop Suey to Ruben sandwiches. These establishments use their profits to fund grass-roots programs focused on helping the local community and they are found in all cities and towns and if you go out of the way and befriend the locals. Nah, it’s just that there’s no tasty _ **and** _ nutritious food available at chain restaurants. Eating Taco Bell is pretty much like swigging down a gallon of antifreeze - it actually tastes pretty good while it’s going down, and then you come dangerously close to death. ---

Well, I got though the day but now, evening looms and the hunger pangs begin anew. I ain’t gonna eat the rest of that rotten lasagna so once again I am faced with hard choices. I’m gonna be hungry as a wolf in about an hour; I’m really leaning towards a trip to SteakN’Shake for a double SteakBurger with mustard, lettuce, tomato, and onion, along with some onion rings and a vanilla milk shake. Anyone wanna go with me? Any alternate ideas? [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/potential-starvation/550685.md?page=1)
