Filet o Fish
I walked up to the counter ready to place my order. This was right after seeing the two for three dollar poster on the window. I was super ready for this, and a meal for $3.25? Who wouldn't be ready? Apparently not I. Right after placing the order, it sounded wrong as it came out of my mouth. "I'd like to have that McFish deal you got on the window out there." Wait. McFish? No... "The Filet o Fish deal? Sure." Ah yes, filet o fish. It's been so long that I don't even know the name or how to order it. Chalk it up to stupidity. After paying, I went off to enjoy the wonderful meal of fast food fish.

Bark Hot Dog in Park Slope
Possessing two left feet is not an easy task. Just as blond hair and blue eyes are physical traits, I'd argue that coordination and balance are traits as well. Sure, they're more like things you can level up, but just as a mage can level up on magic, it upgrades differently from a Night Elf Mohawk. Obviously. But possessing two left feet means that things like dancing becomes difficult. I mean, how does one become, Carlton Fisk?!? What I like about Carlton's dance is that it's unusual. In general, when you have a dance, whether it be the tango or salsa, there's a promise to deliver on requisite steps. I kind of think that's what restaurants are. Well-known genres like Italian or Japanese are your waltz or foxtrot. The hot dog shack, is the macarena. It's down to earth, popular, and easily digestible (if you're over 12). So when you go into a hot dog place, you want them to deliver and to have no missteps. Bark hot dogs in Park Slope does just that.

Wiener Dysfunction Treatment at Shake Shack
Who needs Wiener Dysfunction (WieD) treatment that can work up to 36 hours? Folks who don't want to put their wiener satisfaction on a schedule. It's for people who just like to let it happen. WieD treatment is for people who like to choose the moment that's right for them. They like to choose the variety, the toppings, and the condiments. The Shake Shack Second City Bird Dog is only for individuals healthy enough for wiener activity. Do not take the Second City Bird Dog if you can't sustain intake of sweet relish, onion, cucumber, pickles, tomato, pepper, and celery salt as this may cause your taste buds to be overwhelmed.

Locanda Verde and my grits fascination
Grits are my weakness the same way OTB is the crutch of degenerate gamblers. You know you're spending too much money on something you shouldn't. But it feels so good! Unlike some diseases that might rot you from the inside out, my grits habit simply burns a hole in my wallet. A hole made out of corn byproduct that isn't even real corn kernels. It's like... leftover corn. It's almost never a good deal to get grits outside but I never think of to make it at home. When Steph and I were at Locanda Verde, it was difficult to pass up "Scampi and Grits," which came with organic polenta, tomato, sausage, and coddled eggs ($17). I'm not sure how you coddle eggs but it sounded good. The word 'grits' may sound rough, but the consistency of these grits was smooth and creamy. The tomatoes, shrimp, and sausage is a very classic combination and here they were a melodic concerto of awesome. The coddle eggs featured runny yolk to present a richness to some bites that was welcoming. Yes. I'm a degenerate grits fanatic. I need help.

Fried chicken wings and thoughts on wine
Can you ebonic-fy a type of cuisine? I think the term might come across with greater racial undertones than I would like. Consider the similarities between English/Ebonics and Chinese/Americanized-Chinese food. In relative sense, you have something that's been around for hundreds of years like English or Chinese food. Compared to something that's more of a recent phenomenon (relatively speaking). With both mutations, there's a certain pride to the entity in itself, as there should be. Shame should not be cast upon a refinement of an original, simply because there's differences. Fluency and appreciation of both English and Ebonics is possible, as is the case with Chinese and Americanized-Chinese food. I've spoken about Fried Chicken with fried rice before, and I couldn't help myself when I walked by one earlier this week.
