McMagic Show

In honor of Cfre's trip to Europe, we decided it would be best to see the man off with a celebratory feast. Although everyone seems to hate McDonald's since that Supersize Me movie, the obesity lawsuits and the "I'm lovin' it" campaign of recent years, we chose the Golden Arches as the location of the ultimate American send-off.

Being the connoisseur’s that we are, normal McDonald's fare just wasn't going to cut it.

Cfre's friend Spiderman, who's Camaro has a Batman logo on the rear window (We don’t get it either), is the manager at a nearby McDonald's and we've been hearing about some of the amazing creations he's put together for a while. Tonight we would get to try them out first-hand.

I'm sure the idea of willingly eating there revolting to some, but there's a few things I've learned that made me understand, and ultimately appreciate, the food at Mickey D's (who the fuck actually says that?!):

1. A Big Mac is not a hamburger. It is a Big Mac. Appreciate it for what it is, not what you think it's trying to be.

2. Don't try and trick yourself into eating the salad/yogurt. Those things have just as much poison in them as the "burgers"; just accept the fact that you will be ingesting the culinary equivalent of trash regardless of what you order. Now order what you really want.

3. It always tastes better fresh. No tips here, but the food really is better when it’s made to order. Or when Spiderman makes it. Whatever.

Anyways, here’s the goods:

We got a full tray of freedom fries and a round of Big Mac hybrids that you couldn't believe. Those are quarter pounder and Angus patties. And we got our official stickers hooked up (Thanks,G).

Look into it's eyes!

And lastly, we have the McChicken Mac. Fuck In-N-Out's Secret Menu, TasteBuds get down with shit you didn't even know existed!

So we're down a member until Cfre gets home in like two weeks, until then he'll be experiencing whatever culinary delights Europe will show him. Hopefully he'll get some pics and can do an all Europe post when he gets home.

Bon Voyage, Cfre. Bon Voyage.

Sushi Extravaganza

Tonight Prozak set us up with a sushi spot in his hood. We made a quick trip to Cerritos to partake in the deliciousness of Sushi Gallery.

The waitress let us put the Dodger game on, so we had some quality entertainment before and during the feasting. Each of us got a bowl of rice and some good-ass miso soup to start.

We each picked a roll and then ordered a plate of assorted stuff and some california rolls to round it all off.

The service was pretty quick (one and a half innings) and we were on our way to sushi induced euphoria.

Moral got the Shrimp Lovers Roll

Prozak selected a Rainbow Roll

And I went with the Catepilla Roll(it was mispelled on the menu) to complete the setup.

Rather than the more widely accepted ratio of 10 parts soy sauce to 1 part wasabi, Prozak decided to go with a 1:1 ratio that resulted in what can only be described as a wasabi paste.

After he ate this bite Prozak held a stunned look and went into labored breathing for the better part of a minute before he was able to get another piece down.

After the mention of being put on the TasteBuds blog, the waitress treated us to some complimentary green tea ice cream. Nice.

All in all great service and good food gets the Sushi Gallery an A+ (temporary rating system until we get the patent for the Official TasteBuds™ rating system)

$80 well spent.

Holla!
