Bonus Post Deep Fried Squid - Tantalising Tentacles!

It's after work on a dark and stormy night. All quiet on the KC front. I internally debate what size to order. My boss, who highly recommends it, says that the small is perfectly adequate. Soon arrives a  massive platter of cephalopod and a bowl of crimson dipping sauce. It is very hot warns the KC lady. Undeterred I pick one up. Ouch! And I have asbestos hands (one of the perks of my job). I pop it in my mouth. Crispy, crunchy, satisfyingly chewy. The taste of the ocean. Superb! And only $9. Ordinarily the dipping sauce would be a little sweet for my taste. I have no sweet tooth and eat dessert twice a year (Christmas and birthday) because I feel obligated to (and because Grandma's Christmas pudding is chock full of booze!). But this time the sweet tang offsets the fatty, crunch of the squid very nicely.

3/4 of the way through and I am very full and have a sore jaw from all the chewing! If I get lockjaw by squid it will all be totally worth it. A giant plate of deep fried squid isn't exactly health food but my job burns so many calories I'm golden. If you want to lose weight and get paid to do it, become a chef! According to MyFitnessPal calorie counting app an average shift in the kitchen for someone of my height (short) and weight (chunky yet funky) will burn the equivalent of a plate of nachos and a jug of beer. Mmmmmmm! Or the Number 16 Meatstravaganza.

Would I order it again? Absolutely! It would be perfect for soaking up copious amounts of booze, or simply as a scintillating snack. Or you could order the Large and feed an small nation. Shoutout to my boss (a fellow KC fan) for the recommendation!
