Whatever burrito join I can find. Qdoba is preferred. Chicken or steak burrito with as much guacamole as I can convince them to put on, a good heap of cheese and some sour cream.
If I had a bad race- I punish myself and 86 the guacamole...

I can't eat a thing after a race. I don't even line up for the post-race meal anymore :( better to let you tummy-of-steel people have all the food & beer. :)
But that night, McD's for fries.
hot, salty, golden, perfect fries.

An IV, assuming I truly gave it my all. :)
Contrary to all the other suggestions about burgers, fries, pizza, and fried chicken, my body can't handle that stuff and I just have to pass. The best post-race food I've seen was after the DINO Series trail runs - they partnered up with Qdoba for their post-race food. The burrito bowl bar was really nice, and it gives people options.
Ice cream or shakes on a hot day would be splendid.
Another nice one I did was TriAncilla. It's an interesting venue, being at a Catholic college with all the nuns out there rooting us on (I felt bad when I was swearing at my wetsuit that wouldn't come off, looked up, and saw two nuns looking at me. They probably wore out a couple of their rosary prayer bead things after witnessing that). They also baked cookies, brownies, made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and stuff like that for us, too. It was really a neat touch - like a big pitch-in/pot luck/whatever people call it when they all bring food. I told myself I'm not doing any sprints this year, otherwise, I'd go back there again for the experience.

I switch the fries for something sweet, but the burger and beer is a definite post-IM.
LP brewery in 2007 was the best incarnation of post-IM food.
Swim - Bike - Run the rest is just clothing changes.

I ran the marathon in 2010, and made a bee line for the brewery. One of their wraps, a handful of s'mores and a few too many Ubu's and I might have seen god at some point.

I did a small race last summer and they had breakfast. I'm not talking the usual fruit granola and hard bagels. They had eggs cooked fresh, not sitting in a tub for hours, regular pancakes, blueberry pancakes, waffles with fruit and whip cream, sausage bacon ham, fresh OJ. At a restaurant, this would have been a wicked buffet. I may do the race again just for this spread.

I usually can't eat until 1-2 hours after a race but my two favorites are General Tso's Chicken and fried chicken with sweet tea.

Having trained and raced in Houston, Texas for 3 years and Phoenix, Arizona for 9 years, I know what you mean.
However, Central America (and I do mean CENTRAL AMERICA) has taught me that the Honduran sun makes me long for those
chilly and dry August afternoons in Texas...
So, ideal post- food? Whatever's around which means: tortillas and beans :-(

I can't eat right after a race but once my stomach calms down & I get away from the finish area I like a few Magner or any other hard cider I can get my hands on. I love the sugar, especially if it is hot. From there I usually go greasy & salty.
After the Pocono 70.3 I had a 12" cheese steak, 12" Chicken Parm, 7" personal pizza, kettle chips & bud light (couldn't find cider on a Sunday). The more I think about my other post race meals the more I realize why I have to work out so hard...
