Veteran’s Guide to the 30-minute Meal – Separating From Service

I still eat fast, When I was home on boot leave my moma told me if I ate my breakfast any faster I'd be sucking the eggs out of the chicken'a ass.

I remember how the Marine Corps taught us to eat Duck. We would Duck into the chow Hall, gulp it down and Duck out.
Once I was discharged, I only ate like that when it dawned on me that my favorite greasy spoon joints were located in neighborhood's that had deteriorated into war zones. But now I eat my Alaskan King crab legs very slowly, so slowly that the drawn butter solidifies.

I can relate. Last year I had reservations to Peter Luger Steakhouse (arguably one of the best steakhouses in the world). Because I eat so fast, I felt I was only their for 30-40 mins. Keep in mind, I'm spending $250+ on my majestic Porterhouse for 2 with house fries, creamed spinach, and wine that I chowed down in about 15 minutes. Same happened during my visit to Keen's Chophouse.

It's actually kind of sad and now I'm tearing over it.
