gourmet burger and chips and crackin' toast!

Blog #8

Oh my gawd I feel sooo much better! I swear I felt like I wanted to die! Food poisoning or something along those lines I tend to eat at some pretty decent places….This wasn’t one of those places; I went to Good Stuff Eatery on Penn and 3rd SE to try it out. If you are a fan of Top Chef then you’ll recognize the chef as being one Spike Mendelssohn (sp?) It’s basically Burger and Fries…ahem, Gourmet Burger and Fries….Ahem, Ahem sorry one of my new friends is Ms. Lynch all the way from across the pond in England, Gourmet Burger and Chips…..there, everybody happy? Good! Moving on shall we, Actually the only other English phrase I know is “crackin’ toast”…what the hell does that mean? Patricia, (Friend from France) do they have the same sayings in France? I mean can’t you just go down to the waters edge and yell over “Bonjour, you silly Brits what in the Napoleon is crackin Toast?....Eh? Then do the cool French laugh and stomp off back to the cheese store.

Wha? I don’t know I was sick. Any who, The burger was ok but the fries were a bit off , They got fried twice, oooo like Belgian fries but then they were smothered in dry Rosemary, Thyme and Pepper (Yes, I know it sounds like a Simon and Garfunkel song) They were quite tasty especially when paired with a chipotle mayo I just think it had too much spice on them….Eh, Yes, may I have some shrubbery on my chips please? K? Thx love.

Anyway, I’m feeling much better and made buttjacks today and bacon….ok, I’ll tell you, Buttjacks are when you put two pancakes to close together in the pan at the same time and they kinda combine to make one with a big crease in the middle…..think of the visual, there ya go. And no buttcakes is just nasty sounding.

Oh and before I get going and rest my noggin’ In November, I forget the day...there will be a women’s Roller Derby match at the Armory here in DC. Tickets at 4 bout begins at 5, next year I want to try out to be a ref and the name I would go with is Snaps Provolone……extra points for anyone who can tell me the name of the movie it’s from and who played the lead character….without Goggling it…or yahoo…or mozilla….or Cuil…..or Chrome….or whatever
