WHEN THE CHIPS ARE DOWN


Lentil Creamy Ranch - Not very Crunchy, light ranch Flavor, Made of Lentils.


Sweet Potato Chip with Quinona, Flax & Chia - Quite Crunchy and Grainy but in a good way, Rich in Flavor. Very Hearty.


Now these look good, lets see.

White Cheddar with Quinona Seeds - Natural Cheddar Flavor and uinona as Quinona comes, so far as I can tell.


These might look like the Ordinary Chip but I am assuming they are far from it.

Kettle Cooked in Avocado Oil - Like a Deli Chip, Almost Oniony but in fact as the name proclaims.
Tastes like an ordinary quality Chip.


Christina does not care for Tom Waits yet, perhaps someday when she becomes unretarded and wisens up. (yes I can be an opinionated jerk at times and this is one of them).
Well she does Dig The Coop so,...

These look like Sun Chips but no idea on Flavor or texture yet.

Really difficult this one, kind of Oniony once again but Garlicky with underlying lingers of many Spices.

Sun Dried Tomatos & Garlic Quinona Chips - Made of Quinona quite obviously. 


Best one yet, Like a Green Tasting Muncho thing. OK I take it back was so expecting Wasabi.

Edamame Beans Seasoned with Caesar Seasoning.

What Is Caesar Seasoning ?

High Fiber, All In All.

SANPELLEGRINO



Pompelmo (Grapefruit) - OK, I have been waiting for this moment "This Magic Moment", hope it works out that way.

Absolutely Delicious, a light Sugar Taste, Yes. Very Refreshing and Grapefruity. My investment in a six pack of this will not be lost. Really Good. I already Love their Orange Soda's but shall pontificate further soon.

RITA'S ICES - CUSTARD'S LAST STAND (NOT REALLY) Coney Island, Brooklyn.


Rita's is Outstanding and I must Implore you try the "Swedish Fish" Ice of which I have enjoyed on more than one occasion.

They do make an Outstanding "Water Ice" product with many Flavors on offer that are not pedestrian (Blood Orange anyone) but I did go out of my way to get some Custard of which I have not enjoyed in over 30 years yet what I was served was Vanilla Ice Cream, mind you of a high quality but this is not what I was seeking.

Custard contains more Egg Yolk and more air and is also made on a different piece of machinery. I suppose we shall call this the "Custard" machine but my memory does recall a slightly different Flavor as opposed to standard Ice Cream.


My Gelati of choice was served atop CHERRY Ice and was Quite Great, also the Cream did flow down to the last bite as I thought it might not but worked very well.


8/26/15 - I finally got around to trying the Blood Orange Ice of which I was very much looking forward to but unfortunately it was sadly lacking in the Flavor department, if you blindfolded me and asked me what Flavor it was I would be at a loss for words due to the blandness of this one. 

I do thank my friend Claudia for treating me however so as not to be completely disgraceful and ungrateful.


Window Display.


Claudia's Black & White Milk Shake, YUM.


8/27/15 - And the very next day we were back and this Green Apple Ice did not let me down, absolutely Delicious and Green Appley.

Blue Meanies not included.


This might be the one that started it all. Here we have a photo of Claudia's Swedish Fish Ice that I had sampled a few years back on a mini-vacation with Jamie in Atlantic City and guess what.

It tastes just like Swedish Fish.

KOSHERI - YOUR HOUSE CAFE Brooklyn, New York


The Lone Elbow.


Kosheri was the most interesting Dish. My friend Sarah who is also a most interesting dish took me out for some. We arrived at a Middle Eastern Hookah bar to order from the Menu and of course they knew what she was speaking of.

Kosheri is a Noodle (elbow mac) and Rice (rice) Dish topped with a slightly Spicy Tomato Sauce accented with Lentils and Dollops of Fried Onions.

Delicious it is.

GYRO ll - 6/29/15 New York City


OH WHAT AN AWESOME SIGHT.

GYRO ll has been here since I can recall but the looming question is where does GYRO l reside, Does not really matter as this might be the best Gyro EVER.

Aside from the Quality Ingredients there is a Melange' of Flavor flying off the Dressing and Meat itself. The Sauce has a mild Vinegariness yet the Meat has a bite of Sweetness, this is unheard of upon earthly terms and Incomprehensibly unmatched amongst us mere mortals.

A Gyro Of Massive Proportions ($ 8.50)

I cannot pontificate much upon Lettuce, Tomato or Pita but trust me.
DELICIOUS


Interior.


Outerior.


They also have Pizza


And Then We Saw RUSH


TACO BELL - IF THE MANHOLE COVERS WERE BURRITOS THE SEWERS WOULD BE PARADISE


It has come to pass that I shall pontificate about my Favorite Fast Food Joint. Well, It Is Taco Bell. 

OH what Beaniness and Cheesiness and Beefiness is on offer (Steak, Chicken and Veggie too of course) there is most certainly an array for the palate to appreciate in its wonderment. What Taco Bell has to offer is not what the million Burger joints do supply (we aint got no burgers, we are Taco Bell) mainly speaking it is Tex-Mex goodness fast food style and I am not kidding.

Take a gander at the Delights below.


Double Decker Taco - Its Tacolicious.


Cheesy Bean & Rice Burrito - I think its purring.


Black Bean Burrito - Could only be improved if it came with red sauce.


Grilled Stuft Nacho - My friend really got a "load" out of this but I remain impartial to the Panini style Toasted Tortilla which has been a Taco Bell staple for about a decade now.


Ad Campaign.


Beef Soft Taco - How Sweet It Is, Quite Delectable.


Chicken Gordita - God created the Gordita.


Nachos Supreme - The King of the Castle

7/22/15


The Meximelt - Melts in your mouth (with Bell Picco De Gallo).


Beef Gordita Supreme - Christina's Favorite.


Steak Gordita (no Sour Cream) - Christina's choice.


Bacon Club Chalupa - It's Fried but not inside.


Beef Burrito Supreme - Taco Bell's staple of Ecstasy.


The Box Rocks.


Christina's Steak Gordita


Smothered Burrito - Filled with Beef and Rice and Smothered outside with Cheese, Hot Sauce & Sour Cream. Quite Formidable but heavy on the Bready Tortilla shell.


9/9/15 - FIERY Ghost Pepper Loaded Griller - Hottest thing I ever had from Taco Bell, Did I Live ? most certainly, just a mild scratch if even a tad on the Scoville units barometer.
