Secrets of the City

The pizza I didn’t like was from Paradise Pizza this weekend.

Also, not that I’m Bill’s link pimp but he checked out Bucky’s Homestyle Diner this weekend and We Got Served checked out Grumpy’s in Roseville.

…and maybe I was blind because Bill’s already linked I see. What’s wrong with me?

Does anyone know why it’s called a hot beef commercial?

I prefer turkey commercials. That’s just me, though.

No offense to Jeremy, but that sandwich looks vile, but that’s just due to my extreme aversion to gravy. And the words “chipped beef.”

In Indiana, we called them “Manhattans.” I made turkey manhattans for dinner yesterday. gooble gooble.

OK, I looked it up and found this tid bit on snopes where someone just looked up the definition of “commercial:”

Commercial noun

(In U.S. government grading of beef)
a. a low-quality grade of beef between standard and utiility.
b a cut of beef of this grade.

Consume at your own risk, I guess…

There is a couple of local places that serve a mean S.O.S. — one is Bonnie’s Cafe, next to the Dubliner on University in Midtown. The other is a little Mom & Pop cafe on 40th in Columbia Heights (across from the now defunct 500 Club).

i never hear anyone talk about yarusso’s pizza. it’s pretty damn good.

And the words “chipped beef.”

Shudder.

Sounds like something you’d need to see a urologist about.

Bob, a manhattan is either a drink or an island. Nothing else. Frickin hoosiers.

Manhattan: brandy or whisky, sweet vermouth, bitters, and garnish with a marischino cherry or a turkey leg. The latter is called an Indianapolis. It’s favored by Hoosiers.

you guys have never tried chipped beef on toast? It’s sort of a traditional army recipe, but if made right, can be delicious. If you like biscuits and gravy, you might like this too–it’s the yankee version of biscuits and gravy..

I have indeed and enjoy it. Though that photo looks like someone ordered it after a drunken bender and barfed on it before they could dig in.

SOS (aka Shit on a Shingle) sucks. It’s almost as bad as biscuits and gravy. Stick to the runny eggs and hash browns with buttered toast please.

I will not be eating lunch thanks to kurtis. Blech.

Oddly enough I had the worst gas the next day. But that also could have been caused by the scrambled eggs whites and vegetarian sausage I had for breakfast. Sometimes you need to counteract the meat sweats.

Haters.

Yarusoo’s is more famous for their giant meatballs and garlic bread than they are pizza.
