Yusuf's Muslim/Korean buffet - "Try the Cat-Mandu !"

The vegan steakhouse is good, but I don't get this.

How about
Icelandic/Vegetarian health food - Rotten Quark
Romany/Mexican - Hedgehog Mole

And of course

I love animals.
They are delicious.

Cat Steven's is now Yusuf Islam - Mandu is a korean dumpling. A little on the obscure side - I keep letting my work intrude on my web time (lost my train of thought)

Gordon: This is an ever-present danger, and one you must avoid at all costs. Be very careful here!

That's the best so far, IMHO.


Oh dear, now perhaps the best is the one directly following -----

Fusion in gastronomy began when 2 people of diverse cultures exchanged food ideas. What we see today is an exponential degree of the misinterpreted idea of fusion.

Is that supposed to invalidate this thread? Its just a joke.

This round's closed, and I'd like to thank you all for providing some Serious Mirth. Watch TDG this week for the winners.

I am awarding an Honorable Mention to Jason Perlow. The Man, because of his elevated position, can't actually win, and he controls the the Giant Motherlode of eGullet thongs anyway...but if not for pesky competition rules, Sosumi and Kvetching Tiger would have been battling for a top spot.

The "Dark and Stormy" silliness is still open--so very open, as open as her patio doors as she gazes onto the rosebushes, as open as the half bottle of Barbera she found on her kitchen counter this morning, as open as her mind as she contemplates whether to have the leftover brisket or the leftover mock porchetta from "Zuni Cafe" for lunch, as open as the hand of a child asking for two bucks to give the ice cream man.

One of my favorites used to be at the Cherry Hill Hilton (for real)--a Chinese/Jewish deli restaurant called Ginsburg and Wong!!
