E3 Food?

Status
Not open for further replies.
Medium well steak, potatoes and carrots for my dinner on official night 1. Snacks will be some nice soft cheeses like brie and some fruit like strawberries and grapes.

Snack wise i am keeping it healthy this year.
 
I am gonna take an early lunch, eat General Tso's chicken from the cafeteria, and watch the MS conference. Gonna do the same on Tuesday but I will eat something different.

If people who are attending want food, and are staying near LACC, order Portofino. Thank me later. www.portofinodtla.com
 
Breakfast: Now boys and gals, this is the meal of legends. You wake up, smell of hype and despair all mixed into one strong odor that wofts thoroughly through the air. You need a breakfast to match that scent, ladies and men. What breakfast perfectly enraptured the aroma you're inhaling and those early E3 vibes?

BOOM.

Ham and Cheese Omelette
Hearty_Ham_Cheese_Omelette.png

Ham and eggs, that's your hype. But once you get that gooey cheese swishing in ya gums, you're feeling the despair.
Onto lunch...

Lunch: This is conference time! All the publishers are vying for your attention so you can slide the golden plastic card of dreams out from Daddy's wallet and pre-order the "Fuckton Deluxe Edition" of their new IP on Amazon! You need a meal to match it! What are you gonna be choking down while you're on your way to GameStop to pre-order the 4DS?

BAM!

Buffalo Chicken Pizza

This meal says "I'm a crazy bastard who took a mortgage out on my home just so I can buy a $250 Collector's Edition of Halo 5: Guardians and I don't even know what's in the damn thing!" You're living on a prayer now buddy!
Finally... Dinner.

Dinner: You settled down. The conferences are over. You know what games will keep you from rejecting your potential social life for another three years. You gotta wind down from all of that excitement that the last 14 hours have brought you from the conferences and your colon from my delicious E3 diet!
You need a chill, relaxed dish. What is that you ask?

WHAMMY!

Spaghetti and Meatballs

This is a simple dish from your youth that reminds you of a time when you had dreams, aspirations, and potential... Until you played your first video game. Nothing like crying over a plate of hot noodles and red sauce, am I right?

Have yourselves a bitchin' E3, this has been another episode of Jiggle's Kitchen!

All parody, clearly.
 
I don't know, whatever I happen to be eating then. Usually when I'm sitting around my computer for a long time I eat a lot of fruit, so probably lots of peaches and grapes.
 
I'll be in LA for E3 and my breakfast every day I am there is spent at the Pantry, just a block or so down from the convention center.

Giant portions, small price, and just really delicious food.

That usually holds me over for the day and Sony will feed us at their press conference (EA might also). As for the rest of the week protein bars will get me through the day before I have dinner, which is usually ordering a pizza or grabbing some In-N-Out.

Speaking of LA, anyone know of good pizza places?
 
I want to order pizza but Bethesda's conference starts at 5 am in my country :( I'm probably going to buy frozen pizza and prepare it home.
 
Like last year,

Some Red Bull, one or another Desperados (that beer), and some snacks like chips.

yep, thats it.
 
Thuway, take responsibility for your craft and start the e3 food 2015 thread, starting with your own plans. Neogaf demands this of you!

This post is 100% Dead Serious. My plans haven't been finalized, but this is my preliminary idea. I live in Karachi, Pakistan at the moment, so I'd love to show you guys just a tiny bit of what I'm planning on eating. With the exception of the desserts, these are my pictures.

I live 12 hours ahead of you if you live in the Pacific Standard time. So by the time MS hits the stage I'll be 9:30 PM on a Monday night so I've planned accordingly.

1:00 PM - During the day I'll be doing my normal Ketotic diet, so I'll be munching on a variety of meats. Since this is E3 - I'll have a nice helping of a "Thali". What's a Thali? It's a dish of all sorts of meat from all over the world. On this plate you can see Chicken melted in Butter and Cheese, Afghani Steak pieces, Malai Tikka etc. Pure meat here.

9:30 PM - During Microsoft's press conference, It'll be dinner time. So your boy' going all Fancy and eating some Fettucini Alfredo from an excellent restaurant in Karachi, whose owner and I are personal friends. I'm getting this delivered-

This will be a smaller dish, so I'll have room in my stomach for some good eats later on.



2:00 AM - Ubi / EA or someone is up next. Every NPD thread, while the sheep much on their popcorn, I'm known for getting pizza. And my personal favorite pizza- Double Ranch Chicken. Nothing famous here, just regular old Domino's, but DELICIOUS.

****Please ignore the can of pesticide in the background.



5:00 AM - It's Muslim (Fajr) prayer time, and consequently Dessert Time. I am very good friends with one of the best bakers in Karachi. She has an internationally renowned bakery here, known as the "Cakery". I was on the phone with her, and called in a favor. I have the worst weakness for cupcakes. I'm penciled in, and she told me she'd shoot me a few extra surprises. For reference, these are my favorite cupcakes from her- this is what I got last time.

aww yeah my kind of thread!

From Last years Viewing party, had 8 guests

this year im planning Cheesecake and nachos (Doritos and Mountain Dew mandatory)
 
I usually don't eat when I was able to watch E3s-either live (which I don't get to do anymore, due to conflicting schedules with sleep or classes) or pre-recorded. I'm very partial the idea of having something to eat for the event though (especially the idea of ordering a pizza). I'm very likely to at least try watching all of the Big Three's conferences though, so I'll try and see if I can do something when watching at least one of them.


ayy lmao
 
as per tradition every year, I get a donner kebab pizza, mmmm, heart attack in a box :P

I want that so badly right now. Do you order it from somewhere?


For MS conference, a bag of sweets and vanilla coke. Sony's conference is something I watch with my mates at 2 in the morning, so vanilla coke, pizza, chinese food. Nintendo's conference is around the lunch time mark so a bag of chicken dippers, bread, coke, sweets.

If I can time this perfectly I can make it from Prospect Heights Brooklyn back to NJ just as the Sony conference starts ..thank goodness they are almost always late. Best steak tacos I've ever had! And if the same girl works there the view ain't bad either!!
 
God damn, now i'm hungry and salivating at my desk. I'll be at work during MS' press conference, i'll have work in the morning so I can't stay up for Sony's. This year is shit in terms of junkin' and watching E3. :(
 
E3 snacks for me end up being a suger free drink and something I can find in the house to snack on, trying to avoid buying crisps and chocolate this time around.
 
As opposed to a traditional drinking game, I choose to eat an Oreo every time something happens on my E3 Bingo Card. Needless to say, I usually go through an entire pack of them by the time E3 is over.
 
Yeah, a shitton of places round here do donner pizzas. I personally love a place that does a Supreme Garlic Bread though. Proper garlic bread slices with cheese, tomato sauce and donner meat.

Living in the Indian subcontinent and eating pasta and dominos is quite tragic...
 
I've been on a diet lately, but that is going bye bye for E3. Fat Fuck Mode engaged!

Pizza and/ or wings, different kinds of chips, plenty of beer, rum and coke. I can't wait
