Szechuan Gourmet gets me wet
I'm a chauvinistic, misogynistic pig. And I like steak, it's in my DNA as a man (I think...). After reading Frunk Bruni's article on gender differences, all I can say is, man, I'm glad wine ain't a big thing for me. The other thing is, whenenver dining with females, I live up to the stereotypical meek, quiet, geeky Asian boy. So succumbing the wine list is hardly ever an issue. But back to the issue at hand, which is food for men... if restaurants are separated into men and women leaning restaurants, than Szechuan Gourmet has to be a restaurant for the boys. It's one of my favorite places, and usually I hit it up with Eric the Teacher. This most recent trip was no different, and maybe we can figure out if it's a restaurant for men, women, or both.

Biryani cart and ticker watching
My friends... let me tell you how an AARP member and social security recipient would eat lunch in midtown Manhattan. Wait no, I'm not sure you're all my friends and the chicken tikka masala is certainly too hot for the geriatric candidate currently in the U.S. Presidential race. Can't be too sure though, maybe if CindyMac can turn it into her very own recipe, then it would all be okay. If you are like me, and have been caught up in the crazy economic news, then you know it's time to scale back. Packing lunch would be the best option but the next best thing is to eat from a street cart. A biryani street cart.

Autumn haiku and Patisserie Claude
"Thank god man! I was starting to think you were gay!" That's the kind of love I get from my friends. Fucking assholes. Gotta love 'em. Between that and the occasional name calling of, "Dannila" sometimes the love is just endless. Ok, kids, what did we just learn in the last three sentences?
1. Danny can't count.
2. Sometimes he acts like a girl (lipstick?! what lipstick?)
3. OMFG I cussed.
How does that line go again? "Things fall apart; the center cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world." At some point I was going to let foul language on the site, and after a year of doing this... what better time than now?! I won't litter your screen with it THAT much, but consider this a notice for those who are wound as tight as the FCC. Even though language restrictions has fallen apart, my love of stuffing food in my mouth is still in tact. Oh, so are these haikus.Autumn haiku and Patisserie Claude is continued here...

Sungei Road Laksa
Guest Post. Mmmm.. the sweet smell of food that is so far away from me. haha. Jonathan is back with another guest post today. This time it's about some food in Singapore.
When I arrived in Singapore, I was in a particularly hungry mood. Unfortunately, I had been trying to eat my stress away; and while it had not accomplished its primary goal of dissipating my stress, the eating had achieved two things:
1) Help me justify a new wardrobe;
2) Qualified me for a new boxing weight class.
The flight over did very little to curb my appetite. While the food on the plane was surprisingly plentiful, there was very little satisfaction involved. And so it was in the background of this voracious hunger that I set out for lunch.Sungei Road Laksa is continued here...

Crif Dog
Guest Post - Today my friend Jeremy chimes in with his thoughts about Crif Dogs. Language is a little PG-13, just so you know.
How long would you wait for a decent hot dog? If you said 22 minutes, you are certainly stupid, and you should go check out Crif Dogs on the corner of St. Marks and Hipster.
Me, Danny, and Patrick (known to most people as "Losers") went to the inexplicably popular hot dog joint AFTER eating dinner because we are fat and figure what's the point anymore? Actually to be historically accurate Patrick didn't eat a hot dog, he ate ice cream instead—which is why in gay circles we are known as "2 Losers and the cute one."9 comments.
