[ Jason narrows his eyes a little, deciding if he wants to accept that answer or not, but then he shrugs. ]

Oh, it's pretty damn good. I bet Benny could make it spicier for you if that's what you wanted, man.

[and finally he digs into his own like a madman. he's not careful at all, but he doesn't waste any of it, catching the glops as they fall and eating them.]

See, mine's got extra everything, cause Benny knows what I like.

[captain_bitterness]

Perhaps I'll suggest that next time.

[He muses as he watches Jason dig into his food like a 5 year old, taking a sip of coffee again before going back to his own.]

[theotherobin]

Next time, huh? Told you you'd wanna come back.

[ he fucking loves his food, alright? he went without it for so long, and now that he actually has every single meal, he enjoys the hell out of it. ]

So what's with the gloves, man? Never seen anyone eat with em on. You know they're gonna smell like chili dogs for days now, right?

[captain_bitterness]

[Nate flexes his hands, watching the way the leather wrinkles and creases.]

I've gotten worse out of them before, besides I own about twenty pairs as well as a few synthetic skin ones when gloves would look suspicious.

I wear them to help hide part of my disfigurement.

[theotherobin]

[ Jason watches his hands too, slowing down on his sloppy eating. he grabs a napkin and wipes at his mouth, then eyes Nate a little more. ]

Can I see?

[captain_bitterness]

No.

[His answer is simple but his eyes are serious.]

[theotherobin]

Figured I'd give it a shot.

[he shrugs and goes back to sucking down some of his milkshake before he works on his next chili dog.]

So what happened to you?

[captain_bitterness]

That's something better left for a discussion not around food.

[He says and that hint of a possible smile returns.]

I wouldn't want you to lose your appetite although the way you snarfed that dog down maybe you wouldn't. Bruce not get around to teaching you table manners yet?

[theotherobin]

Dude, I kick the shit outta people for a living and I fucking love food. I can talk about anything around it.

[ Jason snorts softly, and then he puts his chili dog down so he can flip Nate off with both fingers..... and then he spots some cheese on one of them and licks it off. ]

Table manners can suck my dick.

[captain_bitterness]

I'll take that as a no then.

[He muses, his tone sounding slightly amused though.]

What are some of your favorite foods then? Chili dogs are one, obviously.

[theotherobin]

They know better than to try.

[Alfred is ready to lose his mind more often than not. but really, he's just glad to have Jason around.]

Burgers are two. Cheeseburgers. These fries... or any fries. Tater tots are pretty good too. The cheesy kind. Anything with cheese works for me, actually. What about you?

[captain_bitterness]

You should try tteokbokki, it's usually served with lots of cheese on it.

I'm a big fan of Mongolian BBQ.

[theotherobin]

I have no fucking clue what that is... but I bet it's spicy, huh?

[Japanese chili dogs and tteokbokki... Jason's starting to wonder if he should travel for the food alone.]

What makes Mongolian BBQ different from regular BBQ?

[captain_bitterness]

It can be. It's rice cakes simmered in gochjang, gochugaru, soy sauce, sugar, and garlic and then topped with cheese.

[Nate lifts an eyebrow.]

Not just different, better. It has more flavour, spice and variety.

[theotherobin]

Still got no clue what half of that is, but I'd try it. Think they've got any in Gotham?

[there's a lot in Gotham, despite the rampant crime. they might be able to find it. the food here is very good.]

Kinda like a chili dog vs a regular hot dog, huh.

[he smirks, then points to one of the chili dogs Nate ordered.]

Can I try that one?

[captain_bitterness]

Unless Gotham has changed that much in three years you should, you just have to find a decent Korean restaurant.

[He picks up a fork and knife and cuts off the end he's taken a bite out of, he pops the cut piece into his mouth and nods.]

Sure.

[theotherobin]

I'm sure it's changed, but it always keeps up. I know a couple good Korean places.

[not that he'd wanna go alone, though. he's not at the point where he's gonna ask Nate yet, but he's thinking about it.

for now, he's just gonna indulge in Nate's chili dog.... not as neatly as Nate goes about it. he picks it up and takes a bite, then lets out a happy hum before he sets it back down. ]

Daaaamn, that's fucking good. That's real good.

[captain_bitterness]

That's good to hear, I'd hate to learn that Gotham's food choices are nothing but boring white food.

[His tone is very slightly teasing and he nods as Jason tries his chili dog.]

It's the sauerkraut, it gives it that tang.

[theotherobin]

Oh, dude. We're very eclectic here. Like I said... it's all about the people.

[he gives Nate a small smirk. at least that's one thing Gotham has going for it. Jason's all here for the people. Gotham took better care of him than his parents ever did.]

The mustard too... didn't think that would work with the cheese, but it's good.

[captain_bitterness]

If you can ever find a place that has a chili dog with kimchi on it, I highly recommend you try it.

[theotherobin]

[ Jason's tempted to take another bite, but he leaves it for Nate because he wants him to get the full fill of chili dogs. he goes for his cheese waffle fries instead. ]

Maybe you can help me find a place.

[captain_bitterness]

[Both Nate's brows lift this time and instead of replying to Jason's comment about finding a place he asks a question.]

Have you ever had kimchi before?

[theotherobin]

[ they're both great at avoiding questions and things, huh. ]

Nope. What is it?

[captain_bitterness]

It's seasoned fermented vegetables which sounds gross but it's delicious.

It has a similar tang to sauerkraut but a bit spicier.

[theotherobin]

Oooh fermented vegetables. Sounds fucking amazing.

[he laughs softly, but shrugs.]

I'd try it. Sure, why not. Doesn't seem like your taste is too shit.
