Perhaps he shouldn't sound so confident about a dish that's pretty much guaranteed to increase his risk of cardiovascular disease, but he only lives once. (As the kids say.)
"It's supposedly even better with chili, if you wanna spring for that."
It's definitely something to consider as she weighs her food options, then she smirks slightly.
"But is the chili here as good as the chili at Rosseau's?" The tiny New Orleans bar had suffered a great deal since the loss of Sophie Devereaux in terms of food, but they did manage to find a chef who could get very, very close.
Or at least that's what she's been told. Sophie was already dead by the time Freya arrived in New Orleans.
"Well, you've got a pretty good guide with you." Stefan grins, helping himself to a few more of those unhealthy fries. God, how did he ever subsist on animal blood again?
"Food aside, is there anything you really wanna do?"
She pauses for a moment, before giving a small shrug. "Unfortunately, there happen to be multitudes of answers to that question. Even though I'm technically a thousand years old, I have never really had the opportunity to do much."
Stefan reaches out for his phone, making a big show out of opening up a note-taking app. "That just means we've gotta hit the ground running."
Chalk it up to his newfound humanity, or his desire to actually live again, but Freya's lack of experience is an opportunity to get themselves out there. See what the world has to offer.
Or at least, what Mystic Falls and the greater state of Virginia can.
A whole century, condensed in an evening or two... Stefan raises his eyebrows at the challenge. A lesser man might think it impossible. That lesser man also doesn't have Stefan's penchant for self-punishment.
"In that case, we'll go with the short version." He laughs too. "Oh, what about slang? Do we need to get you up to speed on that too?"
"I think slang I have handled," she says with a small nod. "The benefits of having a young niece who spends a lot of time with the people creating it."
Some words still trip her up every now and then, but Hope knows she's surrounded by very old people and is always willing to take it step by step. At least they don't shun her for it or try to correct her language.
Plus, Hope and her peers are far more reliable. While Stefan takes pride in his linguistic ability, slang and him don't always agree. It's either because he's a few years behind, or he didn't catch up to his supposed "peers," or honestly, some decades, he just didn't bother.
(Why "ginchy" went out of use in favor of "apprehensive," he'll never know.)
"Now multiply that by nineteen, and you've got my life," he teases, finally helping himself to his soda. "Not that I particularly mind it."
"As long as you enjoy it, that's what matters." She finishes off her own fries, before knocking back the rest of her drink. "Though speaking of Hope, I should probably get back before she thinks I'm neglecting her. Perhaps we can make plans for that tour another day?"

"No," he admits with a small laugh. "Though I'd pay to have something like this down there."
Now that, you know, he can actually enjoy the taste of food rather than pretending and going through the motions of it all.

She laughs a bit at that, before shaking her head. "Well, how about ... everything between 1914 and 2014? I was asleep for a very long time."
