If you really break it down, everyone has some kind of ritualistic consumable that can “get you through a project”. Whether it’s Red Bull, Miller Lite, or just the sweet smell of oil, there’s that connection between food/drink and working on your project. There’s nothing like kicking back with a beer and looking at a job you’ve finished.
Personally, I’ve got burgers called “Lee Circle Specials” which are these amazing 1/2lb beef cheeseburgers, with bacon and cheddar. They come with a big heaping of fries, and are hand-crafted by the masterful people down at Lee Circle Grocery in New Hampshire. If you’re ever in my home state, be sure to stop by there, it’s where rt 125 and 4 meet, and you’ll remember it for the rest of your life. If you already know what I’m talking about, throw up a comment and let everyone know how I’m not kidding. I recently heard they had closed and reopened, but can’t confirm until I get back.
As Jules once said,
“Mind if I have some of your tasty beverage to wash this down with?”
I personally go for Monster Khaos. It’s tasty all-around, kicks you back up and gets you back to your project after the food-break, and is mostly juice, compared to the other so-called “energy drinks” out there.

I keep eating & projects separate, Lord knows I love to eat! I'm usually so engrossed in the project that my appetite disappears. As to drink, I pretty much drink Britta filtered water all the time, now.
Speaking of burgers – some co-workers & I went to a BIG burger place last week. Long story short? I downed a 2 pound hamburger (4 – .5LB burgers stacked within a bun with cheese serving as glue to keep it from tipping over!), with large fries in 20 minutes! I had no ill effects – just a little light-headed. But I definitely didn't need to eat till the next day…
My co-workers were amazed…I'd post a picture, but haven't figured how to, here.
