The trip to cCleveland was filled with amazing food. We had a delicious BBQ dinner and pancake breakfast with Theresa, Aaron's cousin in Colorado. We had some amazing BBQ Pizza, Chinese and "Cheddars" with Mike, Natalie's brother in Kentucky. And in Chicago we decideed we wanted to try the famous Chicago style hot dogs pizza and popcorn. The pizza and hot dogs were great. (Chicago dogs have mustard, onion, sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices and peppers.) But the popcorn...
I realize ordering popcorn sounds easy. Well, so is reading signs for most other people But unfortunately this is me we are talking about. Lets see if you can spot our mistakes before I point them out.
1 - Loyce and I entered the popcorn place and stood trying to figure out what we were supposed to order.
MISTAKE: Never enter a popcorn place BEFORE you have decided what you want. Don't know what your options are? Too bad. You are in Chicago now. Remember the soup nazzi? Enough said.
2 - We satarted to ask questions about Chicago style popcorn and whether there was toffee popcorn but became very confused when the person who was supposed to be helping us folded her arms and refused to look at us or talk to us anymore.
MISTAKE: Never enter a popcorn place BEFORE you have decided what you want. Never Never Never.
3 - Loyce ordered a tin of popcorn and I ended up getting another fellow to say they would get me what I wanted. As it turned out I wanted nothing because that is what I got. Loyce, on the other hand, got her tin but didn't wait in the right place for her change.
MISTAKE: Not telepathic? Popcorn probably isn't for you.
As it turns out, Chicago style popcorn is a mix of a great caramel corn and cheese popcorn. Doesnt' sound good, does it? Well, it is. Even Aaron could see why people would like it (and YES that was after actually tried it.). My only complaint is that the cheese popcorn is covered with so much brigh orange cheesy butter that it is really EASY to walk a few blocks in Chicago with it all over your face before your mother-in-law bursts out laughing at you. Well, at least it is easy for people who can't read signs or order popcorn.
