Gordon Biersch at the Stan

Once in a while, Trish gets her uncle's tickets to the UH men's basketball and invites Umami.  On Saturday, they went to watch UH play San Jose State.  Both teams needed wins; UH was 2-5 in conference and SJSU was 1-5.

It's a good view

They had an excellent view of the floor and plenty of time to ponder such questions as:  Why are there more Rainbow Dancers (16 or so) then Cheerleaders (10)?  Why are there more male cheerleaders (6) than women (4)?  Do the Cheerleaders snob the Dancers?  Or vice versa?

Have to have food when considering such weighty issues of the day.  There was an immediate debate over whether to have garlic fries, chicken fingers, or something more substantial.  Eventually, the Gordon Biersch chicken sandwich with garlic fries (under $6) won out.

Chicken Sandwich and Garlic Fries

It's a nice little chicken patty on a hamburger bun.  Comes with lettuce and tomato, and an overly generous dollop of garlic mayo.  Umami and Trish scraped most of the mayo off to the side, then used it as a dip for the fries . . . so European . . . pomme frittes et mayonnaise!

The sandwich and fries were thoroughly enjoyed.  The weighty questions of the day never did get answered and will have to wait for another day.  The game itself was a solid defensive effort by UH, resulting in a 67-61 win.  Fun night!
