Last night, I was travelling back from Nashville (GO TITANS!) with some friends when we stopped into a Steak-N-Shake. If you've never experienced one, you should. They are basically, a quick steakburger diner with milkshakes that always hit the spot.
Well, we all get our orders, and are having a good time just chatting. The server returns to ask about everything, and my friend asks, "We like to get some cans of chili to take with us. Not the microwavable ones. Some regular cans. Do you have any of those?" The server looked a bit confused, but smiled and said, "I'm sorry. I don't know, but you can check when you go to the counter."
Apparently, this is the only chili that our friends will eat. So, once a year, or whenever near a Steak-N-Shake, they stock up. Low and behold, they weren't kidding! They really did stock up! They bought a case...24 cans, I'm guessing....to take with them. LOL! Actaully, they kind of laughed at themselves as they left saying that everyone probably thought they were crazy trying to buy all this chili...well..uh...(cough, cough) no comment...just kidding!
Actually, it makes a lot of sense if you've ever wandered into a restaurant, really enjoyed what you had or always get this certain dish--and when leaving you always wish you could take a whole bunch with you...I guess I'll take a tip from my frinends, the next time that happens...all they can do is say "No."
