Territory BBQ and Records- As indicated by its name, Territory is half restaurant, half record store so I think it'll be the perfect place to satisfy our group's various snobberies. It's brand spanking new, and looking super cool. The Southern BBQ menu includes a catfish sandwich to show they don't fuck around. Sandwiches run $8 with 1 side, "slaw + pickle." Extra sides and desserts are $3. I have my eye on the brisket sandwich and fresh-baked cobbler.
Golden State- The beer/ice cream combination has intrigued and followed me much in the same way it did Doc Rickets in that chapter of Cannery Row: "The idea gagged him but he couldn't let it alone...Once the thing got into your head you couldn't forget it" (Chapter 17). Indeed, it's very yum/gross, very original Iron Chef. But then, Jonathan Gold tasted Golden State's beer float, and wrote this: "a marriage of cold creaminess and explosive fizz, innocent sweetness and a blast of pungent, hoppy bitterness that rides the back of your throat like a cottonmouth on a waterslide" and now I'm irrevocably sold. The menu is mostly $9 burgers and stuff but did I mention the ice cream is from Scoops?
Also, I heard that 7 bone chuck roast is on sale so perhaps we can make some carne machaca because it's delicious and I want my facebook status to be "more beef than east coast/west coast rap."
