What I ate on Magically Meaty Monday
Yesterday, I broke my weeklong meat fast in dramatic fashion.
First, it behooves me to point out that on my drive to work, this is what I got stuck behind on Bainbridge for about eight blocks:

Follow the white rabbit.
More meat porn after the jump.
First, Felicia D. and I got some lunch at Amada.
I ate ham and white bean soup:

And some assorted charcuterie:

And a skirt steak sandwich:

Then I felt really great for awhile.
I started to get hungry again around 8 p.m., so I went to one of my all-time favorite places, one that I hadn't been to in a long, long time — Popeye's, y'all. Four-piece dinner, spicy, with a biscuit and a side of rice and beans. (You know they have a Twitter?):

God I love Popeye's.
I know what you're thinking — how could I possibly follow up a lunch at a low-brow hole in the wall like Amada with a meal at the temple of haute cuisine that is the Popeye's at Broad and Catharine?
Tomorrow, I'm cashing in on my Week Without Meat prize — a big-ass steak! — with a dinner at Table 31. I'm thinking 24-ounce Porterhouse. Stay tuned.
Hi Drew, Love your article. We look forward to satisfying your meat craving!!! Kindly, Lauren O'Dorisio Table 31 Director of Sales/Marketing
Yeah man, how could you? Popeye's? Really? Really? The skirt steak sandwich looks positively unreal. I gotta get me one of those.
Yes, Popeye's.
I think that I will personally have to stop by CP's offices and officially revoke your credentials, with alacrity and force! Wait, you just came off of Meatless Week - you get a pass. This time. How was the steak?
