Cheap (pro) eats

The Muddy River Smokehouse in Portsmouth has a fantastic lunch menu – tons of stuff that will keep you full for hours for $5 or less. It’s a place that Ken and I frequent if we meet for lunch, because we’re both cheap as shit and enjoy food that most would consider unhealthy.

I usually go for the Mini Cornbread Pork Pie – it’s a dish filled with pork, bbq sauce and covered in cornbread crumbles. With a side of beans. Then, what you DO is you push the cornbread INTO the beans and make it into a nice mash, and then shove all of it into your mouth.

(As a very long aside – I got a water with my meal, and specifically asked the waitress for no straw (because, hell, I don’t need to use a straw to drink out of a cup for a meal and then throw the straw in a landfill forever, right? (because I’m a super white dude with environmental guilt)). I was with Drew at this point, he also asked for no straw. She asked what the deal was with “no straw”, and I explained it to her, and she looked at me like I had nine heads, and that each head had a dick in its mouth. But seriously, I don’t need a straw to drink out of a fucking cup)

I mention this now because I had it yesterday for lunch at 12:45, and then only a peanut butter an Nutella sandwich, before racing a rather fast crit at 6:45.

Almost six hours of fullness, followed by one hour of speed and sitting on Tim Johnson’s wheel.
