I've just returned to my office from a late-night food run. I'm sure there must be other people out there who, from time to time, get those late-night cravings. You work weird hours, or you're on your way home from a gaming session, or you're just up late cruising in cyberspace. So where do you head when the munchie-demons must be fed, and what tributes do they demand?
Maybe since there are slim choosens in my home town, I usually end up at Jack in the Box. It's only two blocks from my office, and I like their varied menu. The two-tacos-for-99-cents deal is great, and I love their egg rolls. And their fountain Dr Pepper just tastes better than the cans in our vending machines. I also like their Ultimate Breakfast Sandwich. My wife swears that, after a night of partying, their Breakfast Jack is the best pre-emptive cure for a hangover.
I usually get one of Jack in the Box's many chicken sandwiches, a three-piece order of egg rolls and a Super Quencher-size Dr Pepper.
The only other 24-hour choice is Whataburger. I like their burgers, but I hate their fries. In fact, I don't like any fast food joint's fries. Why can't anyone make a consistently decent french fry? I long for the days of Burger King's French Frying Legion, when the fries were more of a reason to go there than the burgers. But that's another topic for another day. The choices at Whataburger are woefully few, and their Dr Pepper mix is always too flat.
We have a Wendy's, but it's only open late on weekends. Taco Bell also is only open late on weekends. What's up with that?
So, does anyone have any suggestions? Any favorite late-night munchie musts?

So it's usually whatever I have in the apartment, which varies from time to time. I almost never actually cook at night though. If something's made, or it can be microwaved/reheated, that's great. But actual cooking is right out.
