    The treat for me is more the process , I find it relaxing and therapeutic ...Favorite kitchen hobbies are fermenting/ aging foods, making sausage ......I also enjoy overnight cooks for the same reason , the meal itself I could take it or leave it, I enjoy the time spent with it. ( great thread topic this is)

    Usually I will pick out a new recipe I've never done before because I have the kitchen to myself. Last one was shrimp etoufee over blackened catfish. Sipped some bourbon and listened to some tunes in the kitchen. Very therapeutic.

    Rack of lamb with potatoes au gratin. It was our favorite meal for holidays, birthdays, and special occasions.

    Chicken Tikka Masala.  I believe it is the best thing to ever come off my egg but my wife can't stand it.  So that is my go to if I get the rare experience of a night alone.  Second night I'd do mussels, clams, or scallops, as she doesn't like those either.

    I love just about everything Q related. However if I was forced to single one thing out as a treat, it would without question be chargrilled oysters. By a wide margin, this is my all time favorite. Even the mighty anus takes a back seat to chargrilled oysters. 
    Do you like raw as well?  Have eaten plenty of raw but not much grilled oysters.

    I've been known to break out the three cheese blend pizza when I want to go over the top.

    Brother I love oysters period. Raw, fried, baked, broiled or grilled. I eat them any style 👍

    Do they still have brown bread in Maine? We used to eat it back in the 80’s... with beans.

    Bunch of beer and some hotdogs if I can make it to the grill for me. It's not every day I can get a quiet house with no kids or wife so I take it easy.

    Since I live alone, I can treat myself any time I want to. Some of the recent ones are -
    Tri-tip,
    New York Strip,
    Burgers,
    Chicken breasts.
    All good stuff.
    Maybe a beer, and if so, most likely a lager. Sometimes homemade bread and sometimes some seasonal fruit.

    Count me in, love them.  I've only ever had them battered and deep fried, never considered them on the Egg.  What temp are you doing them at?
    And... my special treat when Angie is away, anchovie/hamburger pizza, delivered from a place that's been around forever and never changes.  Like gizzards, have loved anchovie pizza since a kid.  I get neither are for most, to each their own.

    Without the wife and kids here, which just about never happens, im gonna make a lot of bad decisions. It starts at the store where ill buy and cook way more meat than I can eat, buy way more beer than I can drink and ill stay up way too late while i eat and drink myself into drunken, meat sweat oblivion before ultimately passing out on the deck with half a pork steak hanging from my mouth. That's how you treat yourself.

    Mickey and Matt...your coffee rub recipe and endless wok masterpieces have earned you enough points in my book to be golden for the rest of your lives.  I look forward to meeting both of you someday.

    But if, on that day, you’re serving gizzards, I might swing by the day after.

    The significant other is not much of a seafood fan.

    So for me it is ussaly, some type of Seafood when I am cooking for myself.

    Red fish
    fresh oyosters 
    Grouper 
    Shrimp 
    I ussaly go to the local fresh fish market,  and see what speaks to me.

    I like to hit with Swamp Venom and either cook raised direct about 400 or put them on a makeshift HDAF pan to cook indirect.
