I was out in a meat coma.
Ah yes, choosing gluttony over lust. A good choice, sir. At least for a man of a certain age and position.

"There's some people who say you shouldn't have no weaknesses at all... no vices. But, if a man has no vices he's in great danger of making vices out of his virtues. That's a spectacle. We've all seen 'em. No... no... Nurse one vice to your bosom. Give it the attention that it deserves and let your virtues spring up modestly around it. I took to whiskey - whiskey took to me. Then I discovered one important rule that I'm going to pass on to you..."Never support two weaknesses at the same time." It's your 'combination sinners' that dishonor the vices and bring them into bad repute. There's nothing worse than for a man to be a drunkard AND a thief. So, now you know why I want to get rid of this money. I want to keep my mind free to do credit to the whiskey that it deserves. And my last word to you is this: One vice at a time."

It's a bargain everywhere, but can you imagine how much a bargain it is in expensive, tourist areas? I was on the big island Hawaii and it's exactly like at home. It looked a lot like the picture (outside delivery) but more people were in line.
I was just at one in Oahu a month ago. They have the hot dog and specialty Hawaiian. One of my kids works at COSTCO in Oregon. They headed to the store while I relaxed at the beach.

We also had a day trip to Chinaman's Hat.
