Wiener Dog

Pizza in Naples: Baked with Coffin Wood!

Here.  Take that, Mario Batali, Mr. Everything in Italy is the Best. BTW, the "Everything in Italy is the Best" stuff got pretty tiresome when I used to watch his shows.

I think the tombstone with the giant "RIP" should have tipped these customers off that something wasn't right. Oh Google Image Search, is there anything you can't do?

Portugese Feast May 21-23

In Mineola. Or at least I think that's what the big banner said that I passed on Mineola Blvd. yesterday. It was near the Heart of Portugal Restaurant.

Can't find anything about it online, so this may be something put on by that restaurant.

Cinco De Mayo

Got lunch at Green Cactus for Cinco De Mayo with hot secretary. They were pretty busy there, of course. Like UPS guys around Christmas or H&R Block people around tax time.

Do you think employees at Mexican places wake up every May 5th and say, "Oh shit it's Cinco De Mayo!"
