Double seafood is fucking awesome. If you don’t dig it, you’re a Communist. USA! USA! USA!

(Both of these were taken with my camera phone.)

This is a nasty looking photo. It’s a stripped bass (head severed) with three mussels in it’s gullet!

Cleaning squid is by far my favorite task. I found this little guy inside a squid!

The eating habits of Satuday night diners

Posted by Chewy on Sunday, June 8th, 2008

So it’s a humid 95 degrees in New York on a Saturday. Every part of your body is sweaty and sticky and maybe even chaffing. It’s so disgustingly hot out that you are cranky and just want to puke or punch someone in the face. But you decide to go out to a nice restaurant. What do you think most people would choose to eat?

  1. Light, (relatively) healthy fish with some spring veg.
  2. Red meat: Fish is for women!
  3. Risotto with duck confit: Nothing like a big bowl of hot, steamy, creamy, buttery starch on a hot as balls day!

Nothing says Summertime like hot, heavy dishes!

Next Food Network Star: It’s like (the food at) a mini-mall

This show is so shitty.

How shitty is it?

It’s so shitty that even Alton Brown can’t make it interesting.
