Personally, my guilty pleasures are:
-a good hook-you-from-the-first-chapter novel
-hot baths
-chocolate, especially if there's caramel or toffee involved
-plush, soft bedding
-football season

you don't need Mongolian BBQ, you have Dreamland in your backyard, I know b/c I've been there. I do prefer, however,the wonderful pork barbecue that is authentic Memphis barbecue. We have the best barbecue (we prove it since we have the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BARBECUE CONTEST).
While the franchise Dreamlands are good, I prefer the original one in Tuscaloosa. One big dark room, surly service, nothing but ribs and white bread on the menu.* Unfortunately, we don't have a good BBQ joint like it around here, so I try to convince parentals that it is a required stop when I go home and we go to Tuscaloosa. Much like going to Ezell's Fish Camp is required when consuming catfish at home.** Yes, I will make it a point to drive 45+ minutes for good food. And it should be noted that in both establishments, the tea is not far removed from syrup.



*-There are actually other things on the menu, but it's sides. I think they started offering rib sammiches a couple of years ago, but I could be wrong.
**-The "Ezell's" in Tuscaloosa is NOT to be confused with the Ezell's in Lavaca on the banks of the Tombigbee river. Tuscaloosa Ezell's=poor quality wannabe. Lavaca Ezell's=best catfish and coleslaw ever. EVER.
