The Captain Goes West . . .

Alas, one fat kidd had to depart from the others to drive cross-country. Veginazi agreed to come along even though she was doing another cross-country trip later this summer (going vegan makes you crazy). Upon hearing of the fun to be had, Dairy Queen invited herself along and then there was the traveling trio.

Faced with the boredom of I-80, the traveling trio decided to invite the public to call-in to the Garmin hotline for romantic advice, boredom alleviation, and general banter. Faithful fat kidd's Awkward Cheese and Steaming Asian Buns called in for daily updates, doled out philosophical questions to keep the minds occupied, and provided distraction as we worked our way through the hundreds in exit numbers.

Aside from Sloth providing us with amazing Apple Dip there was little food that was enticing enough to eat for 5 meals a day. Dairy Queen was continuously thwarted by the lack of Dairy Queen's coinciding with rest stops, and was not pleased with the Captain's orders of No stop until running on gas fumes. In short by the time we reached our destination a true fat kidd outing was in dire necessity.

Delivering on queue was Dairy Queen with a birthday. What an excuse to gorge oneself without even having to exercise aka Sloth's MO. There was breakfast, amazing Tartine (www.tartinebakery.com) treats including heaven status bread pudding, hot dogs at the giants game with beer, and yummy seafood goodness at Pacific Catch (www.pacificcatch.com). Extended birthday feasts also included sushi, korean bbq, and heaven status ice cream from Bi-Rite (biritecreamery.com).

All in all San Francisco is shaping up to be a true fat kidd's paradise.
