Quench.

Posted by Chewy on Monday, January 21st, 2008

This really fucking annoying bar on the corner of Smith and Sackett has closed it doors forever this past Saturday. Quench had more guidos, meatheads and bimbos hanging out outside of it instead of drinking inside of it. It blasted stupid music like the crap that goes “nst-nst-nst” and Bon Jovi. Stereotypes from Bay Ridge would show up drunk and driving, in sweatpants, full of cat-calls and pick fights with each other. Even the people who worked inside would do asshole things.

PS-What’s replacing it is a cheese and wine bar by the owners of Stinky Brooklyn (cheese shop) and Smith & Vine (liquor store).

Smell you later, Quench. Smell you later, forever.

Slow food

Posted by Chewy on Monday, January 7th, 2008

There’s a cooking show on WLIW 21 called Everyday Food that is produced by Martha Stewart. I’m not quite sure of the premise, but I think it’s about a bunch of lesbians with no personalities who live in a house and take turns cooking in an awesome looking kitchen with awesome equipment and an awesome view. They cook simple, (mostly) fresh, healthy food. And they do it painfully slow. I want to reach into the television, grab them by the collar and tell them to hurry the fuck up I’m fucking hungry why the fuck is it taking you ten minutes to chop a fucking pepper you fucking donkey and why the fuck do you all have french manicures and handle raw produce like it’s a live cockroach fucking get in there and cook with some balls you goddamn automatons.

ChewFood grade of food made: A-

ChewFood grade of hosts: D+

Just because you are a woman it doesn’t mean you have to cook like a pussy.

Start ‘em young

Posted by Chewy on Thursday, January 3rd, 2008

Before there was Netflix. Before there was BlockBuster. There was Video Orchard, our local independent video store on Long Island. Complete with back room for adults, separated with a beaded curtain. Over and over again I’d rent this one tape of Disney’s Silly Symphonies just to watch this one food cartoon:
