why do we eat ?

  This is the eternal question with me . we know we all need to eat to survive but there is so much more to it . Food brings out so much in me . i savor good food to the point i close my eyes and nothing else exists some times . life is shared with it and over it . It is given to make someone happy , console the greiving , and is an eccential part of life . It can be abused like a drug but it can heal like one too . When life goes sideways i get lost in it , when life is good i celebrate with it . sometimes it is a creative outlet , absorbing all our creative energy and love resulting in near perfection . It seems to be an extention of who we are and we seek it out . Food is as deverse as the people that populate the planet . There are books , movies , tv shows , and schools dedicated to it .
  The question i have for you is what is it to you ? Friend or foe or both ?
  I will leave you with this parting picture - this burger that we created at Slappy Cakes . it was the result of a perticularly rough day and after wading through it in 11 minutes after the staff joking dubbed it a man vs food challenge i felt better . maybe not cured but the creative outlet of building such a monster and devouring it was gratifying . This was there standard bacon cheese burger made with fresh ground chuck with and egg , mushrooms , blue cheese , goat cheese , proscuitto , and avocado added to it .
