The Food Thing! What Would YOU Eat?


I have watched "Defending Your Life" so many times, that I have lost count. However, the thing that has always stuck with me is the thing about food. In Judgement City, you can eat as much as you want without gaining one ounce! This, of course, has lead me to creating this particular message board and posing a question to the fans of this movie.

If you were in Judgement City, and can eat as much as you want, what 5 foods would you pig out on? Explain why (Other than it's your favorite food), and where you think the best place around sells this particular item (For example, you may like BBQ Ribs from Bodacious Barbeque in Marshall, Texas because the sauce is just KICKING!).

I'm looking forward to the comments! And don't worry about the types of food (I would LOVE Escargot and Caviar! Of course, this may gross some people out!), cause I am not hear to judge ya!

Ice Cream (handmade, heavy on the butterfat, baby)

The gorgonzola and fresh tomato pizza from Joe Mama's in Pittsburgh, PA (seriously, it's so good)

It's so hard to believe that I started this post nearly a year ago, and I have read each and every response. To those that took the time to put down what you would like to eat, I say thanks. I hope that more will continue to read this and share their favorites.

And while we're at it, I do want to add one more food item, sort of inspired by the most recent post by m-mcashan . After all, if you're dead, then you REALLY wouldn't have to worry about the health risks, do you?


I think that I would love to try Fugu. Ever since I watched "Weird Foods of Asia" on the Travel Channel, I have often wondered why would ANYONE want to take a risk to eat something that can quite possibly kill you? It really looked good (And the host said that it has a slight numbing effect, like novacaine). So I think that I would like to have some Tora-fugu, which is the most delicious, they say.

I got three words for you: Jack ina Box.

I'm a vegetarian and pretty health conscious, so if you could consume without consquence in the afterlife, I would go buck wild scarfing down fast foods like no one's business.

1. The Ultimate Cheeseburger
2. Spicy, cheesy curly fries
3. Cookies 'n' cream ice cream
4. Pizza, pizza, pizza!

There are so many great foods to eat, and yet I have never travelled to so many of the places I want to go, and been able to eat the gourmet food of those different places. Luckily, though, I have spent all my life in the New York Metropolitan Area, and there are restaurants from almost every country on earth in and around NYC, so I have been able to have many great and varied kinds of food. But, I think most of the best food is cooked at home rather than at various fancy restaurants.

1.) My father's chicken soup
2.) His baked ziti
3.) Beef stroganoff from my mother
4.) Stuffed shells from Vincent's Clam Bar in Little Italy
5.) Split Pea Soup from Ben's Deli (a chain around the NYC area)

Honorable Mention to Chicken Wings from the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, NY (That is actually the first restaurant to ever make Buffalo style chicken wings) and also to the horrible for you, yet delicious Slider hamburgers from White Castle.

I always think about what food I would want too. The breakfast he eats as the shuttle arrives looked really good, so i'd probably go for that plus: sushi, PBJ, cheeseburgers and fries, and some bananas foster. I'm a fat guy in a little coat.
