This just in! I got this email from a friend. Take action now!!
Join me in boycotting Anheuser-Busch as they’ve sold out to foreigners.
Drop your beer off at my house, and I’ll dispose of it.
We’ll teach those bastards!
I admit, they had me going there for a sec…
Oh, now COME ON. There is bad news, and there BAD DAMN NEWS.
This fall under the latter category, and then some: They’ve CLOSED MY WHITE CASTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Several notes to the corporate and city brainiacs who allowed this atrocity to occur:
— That was my White Castle. Who said you could close it?
— I don’t care that it’s going to be a Sonic. Who cares about Sonic? It’s a routine burger joint; White Castle is a unique cultural institution — a defining fast-food icon. You can’t close them. It’s not allowed.
— Why do the White Castlers think I’m going to drive to Dayton or Huber Heights or wherever they’ve “directed” me to go? I LIVE IN KETTERING. THE WHITE CASTLE IS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK.
— I’m too upset to talk about this any more.
This quote was sent along by a reader, and it seems to be just the thing for today’s Leadbelly Blog entry:
Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian; wine and tarragon make it French. Sour cream makes it Russian; lemon and cinnamon make it Greek. Soy sauce makes it Chinese; garlic makes it good. -Alice May Brock, author (b. 1941)
So true! And it keeps the vampires away.
… and I’m guessing you do, too.
What, pray tell, do you recommend?
Tell, tell, tell…
So, the weekend is here and it’ll be perfect for grilling…
Maybe we’ll marinate some chicken in Italian dressing and herbs (usually a bit of garlic powder, paprika, oregano) and grill it up just right… Sizzle, sizzle…
What’s on the barbie at your place this weekend? Tell, tell …
Mark Fisher’s Restaurant Week Tour hit Rudy’s Churrascaria in Germantown mid-week. Rudy’s is new in town, a Brazilian steakhouse that’s still getting its sea legs but which, in Mark’s opinion, has great potential.
His mention of Germantown got me to thinking about one of my favorite places — right across the street from Rudy’s.
Yeah, I’m talking about Laff’s, where the front window warns, “No Crybabies Allowed” and proudly advertises, “Warm Beer, Lousy Food.”
It’s a small-town bar at its best, with — sorry guys — cold beer and great food, especially the wings and the waffle fries. If you happen in on Friday while karaoke’s going on, you’ll hear some of the best voices this side of heaven.
Laff’s 2 E Center St, Germanton (937) 855-2530
Hmmm… You’ll note that Sister Laura started a fun little conversation about favorite pizzas down below, and that some wiseguy left a comment that he loves something he called “Pizza in a cup.”
To which I ask: What the hell is pizza in a cup?
I know about chili pie or Frito pie or chili in a bag or whatever you want to call it … that sinfully yummy concoction by which you open a small bag of Fritos, toss in a handful of diced onions, a ladle full of chili and top it off with cheese, and then eat it out the bag… you need a long-handled spoon, but it’s good stuff.
But pizza in a cup? I admit it … I’m intrigued…
