Pleased Thanksgiving to all our US readers and the Official Kickoff of Food Season!
Thanksgiving weekend has landed, the starting line for Food Season. From here until Latest Yr’s, every bite is a victory lap and seatbelts double as napkin holders. But before we do the entire tablecloth-and-candle thing, let’s salute the true gourmet palace: 4 wheels and a full tank.
So hit the comments and confess:
What’s the one BEST meal you’ve ever eaten in a automotive or on a road trip?
The one that also haunts your dreams in one of the simplest ways.
I’ll raise the bar. July 2021. We mainly pulled a real-life Dumb and Dumber, except as an alternative of a shaggy mutt van and a briefcase stuffed with IOUs, we rolled as much as Aspen in a loaded 2021 Kia Telluride looking like Lloyd and Harry after they hit the lottery. Same energy, higher budget. We ballin’-in-Aspen’d our way through just a few perfect summer days, then hit that little white house (no sign, just vibes) for takeout that might make a Michelin inspector weep: Ribeye sandwich, fried chicken sandwich, macho salad, truffle fries, and green beans with more personality than most individuals.
The drive home to San Diego changed into Christmas in July. Holiday music blasting, windows cracked, mountains flying by. We cracked open the leftovers and went full goblin mode. Containers ricocheting across the cabin, plastic forks as swords, the young 00s within the third row treating it like an all-you-can-eat buffet on wheels.
And right there within the second row behind the motive force, just like the world’s most loyal wingman, sat Ace, Auto Spies’ official mascot and excellent German Shepherd, head tilted, tongue on standby, catching airborne chicken skin like he was born for this scene. One paw on my seatback, one on the armrest, quietly judging our table manners while collecting his very reasonable 10 % tax.
Leftovers at altitude while those winshield wipers were slappin’ out a tempo Lloyd and Harry never had it this good. We briefly considered selling the dog for 1,000,000 dollars too… then handed him one other piece of chicken as an alternative.
Your turn. Best automotive feast. Best road-trip masterpiece. Make us laugh, make us hungry.
Drop the story (and evidence) below.
Pleased Thanksgiving. Pleased Food Season. May your tank be full or batteries charged, your fries be hot, and your copilot at all times get the last bite.
