I grew up volunteering on "Squid Row" and doing pre-prep for Gourmet Alley, washing and slicing peppers and onions for Pepper Steak Sandwiches, washing and chopping basil for the Garlic Pesto, moving kegs to raise funds for the waterpolo team, washing buckets, and squishing frozen squid with the "Squid Squad" for Calamari to benefit the GHS Chamber Choir. It brought back a lot of memories to be there again. 
I think it had been 7 or 8 years since I's had a pepper steak sandwich.7 or 8 years too long.
I pretty much ate my way through Gourmet Alley.
Garlic Ice Cream.It is a real thing.
It's actually not so bad...sort of like if you were to put a mess of Garlic Salt in a Wendy's Frosty.
Ok, that sounds disgusting, but not when you think about how awesome it is to dip a french fry in a Wendy's Frosty.
Don't act like you've never done that.
I love this Garlic Buttered Roasted Corn so much, I wanna take it behind the middle school and get it pregnant.And for Tia, I will now deliver the requested goods:
A photo with Mr. Garlic.And for the record, dressing like a garlic bulb does not make it ok to smell like one. There was a serious hybrid of garlic and schwetty old man coming from those pits of his.
So many choices, not enough room in my belly. We will go back before another 7 years pass.
Garlic Bread, Garlic Fries, Garlic Pesto, Garlic Calamari, Garlic Stuffed Mushrooms......and later that night, a BAD case of Garlic Breath!
Totally worth it.

wait...did't you go alone? who did you get to take all of those pictures of you?
random strangers?
and you think i am crazy for asking a stranger to pump my gas.
no difference.
in my opinion.
AND
mmmm that corn cob looks deeelicious!!!
Well Mr. Garlic has an escort to take your photo (and probably make sure no one beats him up)
and yes, I asked total strangers to take my picture for other two.
Which is totally NOT the same thing as asking someone to pump gas, since pumping gas is a horrible chore, and looking at me through a camera lens is like getting a free gift. In fact, rather than asking them to take the photo, I should have just passed them my camera and said, "congratulations!"
LOL...congratulations and "enjoy the view"
and to be fair the stranger IS pumping gas for ME so it is not so much a chore but a pleasure, cuz it is a few minutes they are able to bask in my awesomeness. win/win if you think about it.
YAY! A shout out AND a picture!!! Now I know I'm loved.
Seriously, I'm so glad you had such a great time with family and friends and hitting up your old stomping ground. Now, I'm going to go make some garlic bread and garlic buttered roasted corn.
