Don’t eat the chili pie, do eat the custard

Leave a reply
I reviewed Scoop Dog a few weeks ago and I still believe this is an epic sweet tooth remedy. Last time I was there the food menu caught my eye. 

I went back…. 

My sights were set on sweets but salt was calling my name. My sweet choice was Chocolate Lab. A glorious combination of chocolate custard, Oreo, chocolate fudge and a fucking cherry on top. It was better than it sounds. 

Then I addressed the salt craving… Frito Chili Pie. I’m thinking this will be legit. How do you fuck up a chili pie? I can tell you how in one word, CELERY SALT!  Effff. Nothing against celery salt but this is one of my least favorite things… on earth. I hate to keep digging but the chili was lack luster and the cheese was blah. I was disappointed and threw it in the trash after a few bites. 

I’m gonna give Scoop Dog a shot with the hot dogs, if that fails it’ll be a dessert hunt only.

Hands down best taco in town

Leave a reply
I dream tacos. I calculate dollar value in terms of tacos, 1 taco = $1. Get it. I will own a taco truck in my life, possibly a taqueria. It will happen. 

I’m really pleased to recommend Local Lime out in Promenade. You know I hate WLR but fuck it’s worth it. 

I went 2 weeks ago and all expectations were met and exceeded. I was almost pissed how good this place was operated. Leave it to those bright mother fuckers behind Zaza’s and Big Orange to kill it! 

I got chorizo tacos. Team, they were so good. I am used to chorizo being real greasy but I was told they strain it 4 times to eliminate grease. They topped the tacos with pineapple. Pretty noble imho. 

Shewolf ordered scrimp tacos. They came out with black beans to die for. They got eaten. 

My favorite part of the meal was the chips and salsa. You get 3 out of 5 choices on the salsa. We got green, 5 Chiles, and classic. #HYFR. 

My advice is to go here early and often, engage a bro. Hats off Local Lime, the bar has been raised.

One of my favorite rolls in LR – House Cucumber at Sekisui

Leave a reply
Fr0015

YOLO! It’s when you are out of money and still go for sushi. Sekisui’s got happy hour on weekdays, $2 per plate. The list isn’t huge but it’s still worth while.

Since you don’t have any money you won’t be eating the roll pictured, but you should donate some blood or give tug jobs in the park because it’s that good. 

It’s the House Cucumber off the sushi list. Don’t order the cucumber roll, it’s the HOUSE CUCUMBER. You will thank me.

BBQ Tacos – Bumpy’s WLR

Leave a reply
You know it sounds brilliant. Take two food icons and remix that ish. Real talk, tacos and BBQ. I was cruising WLR, regretfully, and saw a Texmex hunt called Bumpy’s. Chalk that up for the to eat list. It got eaten last week.

It’s law to eat queso at texmex junts so I did what I had to do. It was yellow and pretty yum. Portions was right and the colored chips were patriotic. The queso wasn’t revolutionary but edible.

Shewolf got the shrimp quesadilla. Again, it was good but that’s it. There were no leftovers on her plate.

I went for the BBQ tacos. While my hopes were very high, I was disappointed. I feel like you need to leave BBQ to BBQ bros and tacos to taco bros. The flavor was aight but tasted like it came from a package. I ate it all but left unfulfilled.

Team, if you are craving mediocre texmex hit up Bumpy’s. It won’t break the bank but don’t come in with high expectations.

Best Wings in Little Rock – this was actually a shocker

Leave a reply
Team, you know how in political debates you will never win an argument? The moment you say to someone “You’re wrong.” all bets are off. I’ve had one of them moments where I was told I’m wrong and changed my opinion. This moment of realization had nothing to do with politics. I don’t sit around and debate monetary policy, I fucking debate hot wings.

Hot wings are probably the most important food like ever. I did a post about this real shitty bar in WLR called The Tavern. This was around a year ago and it was utterly pathetic. The service and food quality sucked. By chance I stumbled into the tavern Friday night.

Shewolf and I were bellied up at the bar and an old friend walked up. Patrick Precious Mason, legendary rugby boss and now head chef at the Tavern. Pretty legit resume so far. I told Pat about my terrible experience the last time I was at The Tavern and he assured me to give his wings a shot.

Fuck sake I’m glad he did. I ordered the fire wings which came out steaming, smothered in a fantastic ghost pepper wing sauce. After the first bite you are going to thank yourself the wings are smoked. Fucking unreal.

Oh yeah we ordered egg rolls. No fucks were given and I promise you I cleaned them knuckles.

Contrary to my first review of the Tavern, I give this place two wing sauce covered thumbs up.

Scoop Dog is your new ice cream jam

Leave a reply
You know they always say location, location, location is the key tenant to business success. I tend to agree but what's more important is a business understanding its core competency and communicating that through its brand.

What happens when a company executes on both location and brand? I can tell you this, it's fucking magical.

If you're in Dogtown headed North on JFK you're in for a magical treat. You'll see a rad hotdog joint called Scoop Dog.  In my opinion the coolest business name like ever. I read online their frozen custard was the new hotness so I hit the drive through for a personal review.

I ordered the Ole Beagle, vanilla custard, chocolate sauce, butterscotch, and almonds. Omfg I usually pass on sweets but fuck sake this is so good. I had immediate buyers remorse because it was angelic.

Clank customs ordered vanilla custard, cheesecake, Oreo, butterscotch, and chocolate. Let's put it this way, she didn't share a bite.

Im going back soon, so should you, and im killing some dogs.   

Have a great place we should visit? Let us know, offer to buy us a drink, and we can probably make it happen.

You're opinion is probably wrong but leave a comment anyway.

I went to Seattle and ate seafood

Leave a reply
You'd be amazed at the quality seafood available in Seattle. Literally surrounded by the sea, Seattle is both a sprawling urban environment and deeply rooted in fishing.

I had the opportunity to go to poundtown on oysters, clams, and salmon. You know my stance on the women, ugly, but the food and landscape makes the PacNW livable.

Clam soup, smoked salmon chowder, Churchkey Pilsner, and oysters rawdog.

Do work son.

9m in Unmarked Bills – Fremont, Seattle, WA

Leave a reply
I've survived a week in the hipster capital of America, Seattle. Maybe second to Portland.

"Seattle is full of ugly depressed hoes"
- Cameron Z.

Great quote, spot on brother. I made the most of my time and found a Dive Bar turned Whisky Bar, 9m in Unmarked Bills. Don't let the name fool you, it's not a shake junt. It is ho.e to a great beer and whisky selection and a legit burger.

Fremont is like Hillcrest/Stift Station except bigger and more rad. Evidently Seattle is covered with cool little neighborhoods like this. I'd move here but the ugly girls and shitty weather would make me blow my brains out.

Hold that STEIN

Leave a reply

Our good friends at Glazer’s were doing a Sam Adam’s Octoberfest promo at Dugan’s last week. 

You stand in a circle, hold a heavy glass stein filled with water straight armed as long as possible. If you bend your arm, you are out. If you spill the contents, you are out. Pretty simple. I had no intentions of winning this contest as my sole purpose was to defeat my ex roomate James. BTW, the record holder was 16 minutes…
