What would you cook Jimmy for dinner?

Post by buffettbride »

If you could invite Jimmy and Jane over for dinner, what would you cook?

Would you have it catered or do it yourself?

What do you think Jimmy would enjoy eating at your house?

What kind of music would you listen to?

What kinds of drinks would you serve?

Would it be a formal sit-down or outdoors on the patio?

Would you take him out to a restaurant or entertain him at your place?

Assuming you would not be completely awestruck in his presence, what kind of dinner conversation would you fathom?



I haven't quite decided everything myself, but I would most definitely entertain him at my house and do everything from starters through dessert. I'm sure it would involve some kind of cheese and pie, though. :wink: I'll give this some more thought for myself and come back to it, but tell me what YOU would do.

If you could invite Jimmy and Jane over for dinner, what would you cook?
pork chops, mashed potatoes & gravy, and some good ol' Iowa sweet corn. Fresh strawberries from our garden & ice cream for dessert.

Would you have it catered or do it yourself?
I'd definately do it myself.

What do you think Jimmy would enjoy eating at your house?
probably any kind of seafood.

What kind of music would you listen to?
Anything by Bob Marley and/or some of my tropical jazz C.D.s

What kinds of drinks would you serve?
For Jimmy, Jane, & my wife, a choice of red wine or any of about 20 different brands of beer we have here. For me, it would be Corona beer, since wine gives me headaches.

Would it be a formal sit-down or outdoors on the patio?
Definately outdoors on the patio.

Would you take him out to a restaurant or entertain him at your place?
Either option would be an honor, but I think it would be AWESOME to entertain him at my house.

Assuming you would not be completely awestruck in his presence, what kind of dinner conversation would you fathom?
Since I've been to about as many places as he has, I'd LOVE to compare stories with him about our various travels. I'd also like to hear about his family, what he does on a typical day when he's not on the road, and just what makes him tick.

I'd have a down home Eastern NC pig pickin' with some grilled shrimp and burgers as appetizers and\or after dinner snacking. :pirate:

Would you have it catered or do it yourself?
Definitely do it myself, I cook a pretty mean pig :pirate:

What do you think Jimmy would enjoy eating at your house?
From what I've read, Jimmy likes good food and he's a traveler, so I'm sure he likes to eat what the locals eat. :pirate:

What kind of music would you listen to?
Whatever's in my CD player at the time, I'm sure he'd like it. It's mostly every kind of music made since the 1930's, and hopefully we would end the night singing a few of his own songs ! :pirate:

What kinds of drinks would you serve?
Sweet tea, rum drinks, and beer, but if he wants something else, I've probably got it. :pirate:

Would it be a formal sit-down or outdoors on the patio?
If it rains, we'd have to move the patio table inside, because I don't have a table inside. :pirate:

Would you take him out to a restaurant or entertain him at your place?
Definitely my place. :pirate:

Assuming you would not be completely awestruck in his presence, what kind of dinner conversation would you fathom?
I'd really like to hear more about his early days in Key West. I'd also talk to him about pirates and some of the local coastal history here. :pirate:
I used to go crazy for days at a time, Now I'm taking my time with my days!

If you could invite Jimmy and Jane over for dinner, what would you cook?
I would try and find out what their favorites were before hand, but if that was not possible, Red beans and rice, conch fritters, margarita pie

Would you have it catered or do it yourself?
I'd do it myself

What do you think Jimmy would enjoy eating at your house?
Hopefully Red beans and rice, conch fritters, margarita pie :)

What kind of music would you listen to?
I'd let them select from what I have, which includes Sirius.

What kinds of drinks would you serve?
Boat drinks of course. ;) I've got a fairly good selection of stuff, including tequila and some really great rums. Hopefully they wouldn't drink up all my really good rum though, but then I guess that's the price one pays to hob-nob. :D

Would it be a formal sit-down or outdoors on the patio?
Well, I would probably be living on my boat by the time this would happened, so it would be in the cockpit or on the dock outdoors.

Would you take him out to a restaurant or entertain him at your place?
My place

Assuming you would not be completely awestruck in his presence, what kind of dinner conversation would you fathom?
Travel, airplanes, boats, old TV shows like Adventures in Paradise, life on the road, was Freddie of Freddie and the Fishsticks really Jerry Jeff Walker, Key West, the Caribbean, and I'd actually like to find out what Jane's take on all this is.

I'd fix him Frogmore Stew, like they were eating at Folly Beach in the video TATS. And we'd talk about South Carolina, Daufuskie Island, Pat Conroy, Tom Corcoran, Randy Wayne White, journalism, short stories, his kids, Jane, concerts, memorable people we've known and places we've been, Key West, Paris, and wherever those conversations took us. We'd drink Margaritaville Tequila and Captain Morgan Rum, or whatever exotic liquors we could find around surrounding this dry county.
It would be bliss. We'd listen to RM on Sirius, cause it's GOT to be his favorite music!

Great question!
