Our Little Snack Club

that’s right…..OutBack Steak House

Here’s a clue to what I mean by “where snack may not be snack afterall.” Meaning that guess what?? in Japan there are many places called “SNACK” but these are not the type of snack place you and I know of in the USA… instead… Don’t be fooled… (read on)…

Otto the Orange, a fantastic snack representative.

but… the snack’s packaging is loaded with curve balls.

if the brand is Terell’s, why does Otto have an S on his hat?

and why does it say “orange in the apple” on the bag?

very confusing, but it does not diminish my feelings towards Otto

(the orange)

my fave l.a. juice spot run by white-haired eccentrics

…another masterwork! kagaya, los angeles

guest-starring Tapatio (again)

Thumbs up to last night’s dinner of huaraches* with huitlacoche** and pastor.

*corn masa cakes shaped like Mexican huarache sandals
**corn fungus. ok it’s also unfortunately named “corn smut,” but really isn’t as gross as it sounds, more like a corn mushroom.

lilikoi pie+the saimin noodle special

from Hamura’s Saimen Noodles in Kauai,Hi.

Here’s our newest club member Larry’s world famous St. Louis Sushi.

Ham + cream cheese, with a slice of pickle in the middle.

Delicious!

Fancy snacks from Paris. First from Aurore Capucine near Poissoniere, then from my old favorite Gerard Mulot near Odeon/ St. Sulpice where I used to live

so…we held a very important Snack Club summit this week,our 1st official west coast meeting, and i wanna let the entire club know that i’m having a very positive snacking experience on my trip to Los Angeles. The conference/summit was held at Luscious Dumplings in Alhambra, and the snacks were FANTASTIC! i was mainly focused on the soup dumpling. it was fresh, light+flavorful. super gingery. and as a little footnote, they had the Laker game on. for me, 2 things that go together perfect…dumplings+basketball. ok, that’s all for now.thank you Wendy for the hook up on the hook up.

which is more exciting? The new Sausage Pancake Bites from Dunkin Donuts (the donut is maple syrup flavored), or the classic Pancake+Sausage on a Stick from Jimmy Dean (the pancake has chocolate chips) ? Ball or stick..? Tough call.

I don’t know if this counts because I didn’t actually eat this myself, but a friend of mine recently made a “Recursive Pizza” in Milwaukee!

Dunder Salt!  By Troll-Gott.  A popular snack while I was in Norway…salty licorice balls, that’s how they do.

Wise might wanna re-think this affiliation next season.

it’s just not working out. and..

maybe the Mets might wanna think a little more global.

you never know….maybe that deal with Ruffles or Pringles could go through.

keep reaching for the stars.

Word might be out that I contribute to a food blog.  Last two desserts were “on the house”.

oh what !?!

and steer clear of the

Burger King French Toast flavored snack.

So I was in Tulsa Oklahoma and ran

Into these chips.

Best I ever had….no kidding

The mix of “sweet and spicy” is a winning combo in a chip.

you’ll wanna try some of this….

I’d like to take a moment to alert snack bloggers and readers to the existence of a blog that i started for the month of july. It’s called taco summer, and it’s the next big thing– thick description lifestyle food blogging.

tacosummer.blogspot.com

This place is a monthly ritual for me and jerry! We come here to just get 3 baskets of crap/pork soup dumplings that you dip into special vinegar sauce that hits the spot every time!! I’ve also had their pork shoulder before which pork lovers will freak out over.  The meat comes out on the bone but it basically melts right off and into your mouth!!

i’ve been doing some snack-blog research, and i’ve stumbled upon some posts that really speak to my personal snacking lifestyle. I don’t know if any of you are aware of ongoing taco truck persecution, but it’s a total downer and reminiscent of red hook red tape from last year.on a more positive note, how about the portland, OR food carts? so dreamy. snacks on wheels.

there is a cute little stand on 9th street between 3rd and 2nd next to cloisters cafe that has these delicious balls!!

went to Curly’s Vegetarian Lunch on 14th street yesterday….

the curly fries were pretty good…not crazy…but pretty good…

the curl was tight..the fry was crisp but not too crisp…and the potato was nice…

i didn’t go for the cheese or chili/cheese…but a little salt+pepper or some herb/spice type stuff would’ve been nice..i would for sure recommend this place….the veggie cheeseburger was boderline very good….

and that’s what’s up…

Breaking news:  saint’s alp in brooklyn now has (and honors) the “10 stamp redemption card”.

'tis the season for cold bubble tea

Anyone have suggestions on where in the city i can get seasoned curly fries? Used to have them lots when i was a kid but now i don’t know where to go but i get cravings!!

Thank you Wendy!!!
