Listed below are two individuals that shared their heart break dishes.
Pit Master: Scott Roberts, The Salt Lick; Round Rock, Austin, and Driftwood, TX
Heartbreak Cure: Grease. "The only true cure for a broken heart is good grease," he says. "I'd go with chicken-fried steak and a side of chili cheese fries at the Hays City Store Cage in Driftwood, Texas. Of course, I only speculate as no woman has ever broken this heart."
Pit Master: Charlie McKenna, Lillie's Q; Chicago
Heartbreak Cure: Burgers, bourbon and ice cream. "I think when you have a broken heart it's a lot like having a hangover," he says. "You have a turning stomach, body aches, and you typically are just not feeling that great. So, it's a perfect time to be gluttonous! I like to focus on the three most important healers, which are fatty foods, bourbon and dessert. First, I hit Au Cheval in Chicago for their burger with thick bacon, then move on to Old Fashioneds made with Eagle Rare bourbon, and then top it off with a couple pints of Haagen Daz coffee."
