/ck/ - Food & Cooking

It's a dependable option when you had to go to a place that looks like pic related for work and you're stuck in some area with nothing but parking lots, endless lawns, Best Buys, Targets, and Walmarts, and the only restaurant other options that aren't "drive-thru" are like, Olive Garden, California Pizza Kitchen, and Panera.

I don't think anyone goes there who isn't a captive audience, except maybe cultureless flyovers (go ahead and ban me you fuck, all it proves is you're a cultureless flyover too)

>go on a business trip to flyover land
>rent a cage because there's literally no uber
>get done with meetings, it's 4 PM
>not really sure how this bar thing works, do people just get wasted and drive around after?
>decide not to risk it
>cage over to the grocery store
>literally a giant empty parking lot a mile wide
>park in the middle taking up 3 spaces just for shits and giggles
>10 minute walk to the entrance
>as feared, the booze selection is appallingly bad
>buy the 'nicest' wine they have in stock which is some overpriced mass-market constellation dreck for $32
>buy a corkscrew for $17 because apparently wine is a luxury status drink
>cage back to the hotel, going through several over-engineered interchanges where I have to drive in a slow arc for 10 minutes just to change direction of travel
>park in the giant empty hotel parking lot and walk over a quarter mile of flat asphalt to the front door
>drink it while watching reruns of NCIS until I fall asleep
What a horrible place, I hope I never have to do that again
