Fresser

Here's a slogan: Even Yankees like it!

Yeah, I'm likin' that!!

Aww, hell...nobody on eGullet is that good-looking. You cribbed this shot from a Hugo Boss clothing ad.

So this is what constitutes warm-and-fuzzy praise from a New Yorker.

Greg LeMond has always been my hero--now there's simply no question! Doesn't Fat Guy own a bike as well? I seem to remember him writing about some skinny cycling friends.

On your next jaunt to New Haven, rectify this! And be hungry. I found I couldn't wolf one down with the lightning spped of my youth. And Fress: Thanks for the priceles LeMond quote. Makes you wonder: what does Lance Armstrong eat? If you've read his book It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Through Cancer, (and if you haven't, you should), Lance used to make a beeline for Chuy's for a burrito & beer after a big race. Hey, Lance: when you win the Tour de France, buy Dilly Bars for the Postal crew!

Bienvenidos a eGullet, Sancho! Falafel in Puerto Rico sounds like a great idea. I've often suggested to the Mexican guys at the local bakeries that they should open up a bagel store back home and call the bagels bolillos gringos. You might visit http://www.pitainn.com/index.html and click the "Contact Us" link. This is a hugely successful, family-owned restaurant that makes everything from scratch. They might be able to help. Buen Provecho! Fresser, el gran comedor

I like the Clockwork Orange theory better. The Bible verses are just a cover-up. It was alll gorgeosity and yum-yum-yum!!

Trip to Grand Rapids? Fresser's in! Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale!

I want to hear about the Pierogi Races.

Tour de France winner Greg LeMond once was asked what he thinks about on a long ride. He replied, "Dairy Queen. G-d, I love Dairy Queen."

Matthew & Ethan really put the smackdown on ol' Fresser--I'm still sore!

I hear they served this before filming the campfire scene in "Blazing Saddles."

Sorry, Dave, but even using the word croquembouche takes you out of white trash territory. I guess that rules out Velveeta Vichyssois.

Fresser bought the Sauerkraut Bread at a Polish bakery on Milwaukee and I think he said Lawrence. He said he liked to go there to flirt with the pretty young Polish girls who worked at the counter. This was not surprising, in fact Maggie previously had bestowed the name "Flirtacious Fresser" upon him. The bread was very good, although I only ate half a piece because I was so stuffed. It would make a great Reuban Aye, I purchased the sauerkraut bread and a Rayoviec bread (I guess a kind of villager loaf) at a sparkling-clean bakery at Foster & Milwaukee Avenue. If you head to the Jefferson Park CTA station, either the 56A or 270 buses will get you there. Indeed, there were several fine tchotchkeles behind the counter that made fine (diabetic) eye-candy. Next time, I'll try out my rudimentary Polish on them. "Yak sze masz, Baaby!"

Chicks dig that.

What should I bring besides Aurora and her two smookies? Baba Ghanouj? Hummous? Jay's Oke-Doke?

I'm kinda partial to diet Canfield's 50/50, Green River and Peach or Raspberry Snapple. Hop in my Cruiser, it's as big as a whale!

Ooooh, Aurora... You and your Smookies (I call them your Mini-Me's) can join me in my slick PT Cruiser. Perhaps we could meet at the Jefferson Park CTA. Nerissa, we've still got room for you... Fast-Lane Fresser

As long as I can wear sensible shoes this time, I'm there.

There's also a Dixie Kitchen & Bait shop at 53rd & Harper in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago. I'm another Yankee who loves grits. My sidekick and I stopped by a Waffle House on the outskirts of St. Louis when we decided to eat grits like the natives did. Mighty fine eatin'!

Rosie O'Donnel used to stump for Drake's Cakes on her T.V. show. Now there's a discerning palate. Hey, don't be dissing Rosie, PT Cruiser boy! Rosie, Schmosie...I'll take Jenny Jones anyday.

Try the Fudge Ripple, 'cause Stone Cold says so!

Perry's Deli in the Loop roasts its own turkey and roast beef on the premises. They also make some gargantuan sandwiches, although Perry doesn't allow cell phones in the restaurant. It's just one part of his schtick. Check out da joint at http://www.perrysdeli.com.
