Who's gonna ride your wild foxes?
I haven't thrown up from running since the last time I wrote about it. During that same run, a wild fox ran across my path in the middle of my run. I should have known the fox was an omen then, but two and two didn't equal four quite yet for me. Well, yesterday after work when I was running, I saw for the second time a wild fox run across my path. A mile later, I vomited. Scratch that. Blew chunks hard core. This can only mean one thing for me: wild fox sightings = me barfing. It's science, because it's surely not a coincidence.
And speaking of throwing up. I want to share an email I just received regarding a lunch experience that has become a tradition. I relate it to throwing up because there is usually a 75% chance I will gorge myself until I need to hurl.

What is MGF?

Mazzio’s Gorge Fest aka MGF
The History
MGF is a special event celebrated with friends and loved ones. It began about a year about by April and Kristy. With busy work schedules, evening functions and stressful lives having lunch with friends was a great way to stay connected. So when meeting for lunch and pondering on where to eat, the thought of all-you-can-eat pizza and salad buffet brings a smile to everyone’s face.
Who Attends
In the beginning it was an event celebrated by our group. MGF means different things to different people. For April and Kristy it’s a day of excitement, a day of counting down the minutes until it’s time to indulge. It started out as a group lunch for special occasions such as birthdays, bon voyage parties, etc. Throughout the year we’ve had various people meet us for MGF but they don’t understand the true happiness and fulfillment that it brings to the lives of April and Kristy. Currently, MGF is recognized by the two founders and by Ashley Vedros – a former MGF lover but always makes time for a MGF when she’s in town visiting from California.
Choosing the MGF day
How does one choose what day MGF will occur?
Once it’s been acknowledged that MGF has not taken place in over a month either April or Kristy will create an evite. (An evite is an online invitation sent to those in your address book. The date, time, place, details and photo of what will take place is included in the evite. The evite creator can see who has viewed the evite and the invitee can then reply with yes, no or maybe being able to attend.) With April and Kristy the reply of “yes” is always clicked.
Once the day is set (generally a week prior to MGF) excitement is on the horizon. It’s not until the morning of MGF the countdown begins. The countdown is normally started by a phone call in the morning. Emails through the morning are also sent between April and Kristy counting down the hours until they meet.
The Process of MGF
The layout of Mazzio’s is an intricate part and there’s a strategic seating arrangement. There are both a salad bar and pizza bar. MGF generally starts at 11:30 or 11:45 to beat the noon rush hour. The Mazzio’s location we dine at is downtown so attracts business people. You must be aware of the location b/c rumors have it that other locations tend to be “trashy” – astonishing I know!
We arrive promptly at the meeting time which today is 11:35.
First, you pay. The cost for the experience, time with friend and delicious food is a mere $6.45 including tax. That includes all you can eat salad, pizza and drinks.
Second, you pick you seat. There is a booth near the south entrance that is prime seating. In this area you have direct view of the pizza bar and know when fresh pizza is served.
Once the location is established it starts with the salad bar. Grab a tray, fork and plate and hit it up. Start with fresh lettuce, sprinkle it with cheese, ham, boiled egg, cottage cheese, sesame seeds, croutons, bacon bits, ranch and French dressing.
Leave the salad plate at your booth and jump into the pizza line. The downtown Mazzio’s location provides all toppings on pizzas and are made on the thin crust. It meets everyone’s pizza needs.
I normally get sausage/mushroom, pepperoni, supreme and a combination piece.
Once the food is collected you must get a beverage. April’s favorite is Dr. Pepper while Kristy chooses Diet Pepsi.
Once food and beverages are ready dig in.
Conclusion on MGF
The good food and bonding of friends is why MGF is such a special day. We leave happy, full and filled with love from our friends.
