Root, Root, Root for the Home Food

root beer float

Needed to take a zinc vitamin, so I had to pop in somewhere and get a drink. When I saw the A&W restaurant, I knew I had to have a root beer float (which I’m now realizing was probably a major contributor — along with the few bourbon and cokes later — to my sleepless past two nights). Why the draw for said drink? I haven’t had a real root beer float from A&W since they closed down the brown and orange restaurants in small-town Missour-ah.

Although the flavor wasn’t quite like I remembered (but consider I was in elementary school the last time around), it was still pretty tasty. And super American. As was the Coney Dog that would have tempted me had I not just had a big, fat Indian lunch a few minutes earlier.

What wasn’t American, though, was the Ramadan Mexicano Chicken Pita Combo that was on special. What was it, though? Who knows? A Mexican meal at an American restaurant celebrating a Muslim holiday. That’s what, I guess.

    A Mexican Meal at an U.S. restaurant celebrating a Muslim holiday served on a Greek Pita…you forgot a nationality in there ;)

    That’s too funny that you’re still taking the zinc! I got a ton of people here taking it at the first sign of a cold…(thanks again for the tip!)

    I was thinking that the pita was something else…hehehe!

    And of course still taking zinc! Although one day I forgot about not taking it on an empty stomach and about died!
