Food is the way to a man’s heart they say. It certainly is to mine. Food and I have had an exceptionally interesting relationship over the years. Growing up I was a ridiculously picky eater to the point of madness. Until about age 13 my diet consisted of Milk, Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches, Yogurt, Biscuits, Macaroni and Cheese and French Fries. Truly it is a miracle I made it here today. Like I wouldn’t even try Pepperoni Pizza out of principle until I was 14! Like who does that?

So anyway, a lot has happened since then, I’ve eaten Pizza, I’ve discovered protein being involved in a diet and realized how delicious Thai food is. Now I’ve certainly held on to some of my favorite foods from my childhood, yet I can confidently say I have variety these days. Still can’t stand putting Ketchup or Mustard on things, but some things we just don’t outgrow! Now here is a list of my 5 all-time favorite foods. I even threw in some of my favorite places to eat some of these foods!

  • 5. Turkey and Pepper jack cheese sandwich

    One of the most basic sandwiches that satisfies my heart, is just a simple turkey sandwich mixed with Pepper Jack cheese. Subway, Jimmy Johns, and DiBella’s are some of my favorite places to get a sandwich like this!

  • 4. Chicken and rice

    Chicken and rice is such a savory meal for me. I love it for the simplicity and because I mean what self-respecting American doesn’t enjoy chicken? I have a list of like 15 different Chinese and Thai restaurants all across the Metro Detroit area. But of course, my wife makes the best of them all.

  • 3. Sausage egg and Cheese Breakfast Wraps or English muffins

    I can’t complete this list properly without including my favorite mealtime, breakfast. Among all the breakfast meals, sausage egg and cheese inside a toasted wrap or between an English muffin hits the spot. Favorite place to get these are Tim Hortons, Starbucks, McDonalds, and surprisingly… Bob Evans.

  • 2. Macaroni & Cheese

    Ever since age 4 Macaroni and Cheese has been one of my favorites. I love it plain, or by adding some chicken or some Italian sausage to add a spicy kick. Some of my top places to score Mac and cheese include Noodles and Company, Bad Brads, Boston’s, and Red Ox Tavern.

  • 1. Cheeseburgers

    My All-time favorite meal has to be a hamburger with cheese. Favorite combination includes Sesame Seed buns, fresh onions, lettuce, tomato, pickles, pepper jack cheese and a patty. With a light drizzle of barbecue sauce. My top places for a burger are Wendy’s, Red Robins, Naked Burger and Bubba’s 33.
