You are NOT Fooling anyone
I just realized that the cafe up my street only has like four or five ingredients and then mixes them up in different ways to make their lunch menu. This is what Taco Bell does, but I never eat at Taco Bell unless I am on a road trip or if I am hungry and Taco Bell is nearby or if I’m walking by a Taco Bell on my way home or if I feel like eating Taco Bell which is like all the time. But other than that I do not eat there. The closest Taco Bell is right near the entrance to the Holland Tunnel and it is always filled with Jersey high school club kids who are going to SOB’s or the Culture Club which has 80s nights and they are dressed exactly like the hipsters in Williamsburg except they are doing it as a joke and the hipsters like wear that stuff ‘for real.’ Anyway it’s so awful in there I haven’t made a run for the border in a long, long time. Like since last week. OK what is your point, you stupid girl? I’m getting to it just shut up for a second and let me finish.
The point is, that the cafe up the street makes scones and muffins and then has sandwiches and salads. But they are all made with the same five ingredients. It’s incredible. Like oh we have a vegetable frittata today with onions, peppers, and artichokes. We also have an onion, pepper, and artichoke sandwich and we have a cream of artichoke soup today and our salad of the day is greek, with onions and pepper and feta. I just realize this is not very interesting, nor is it a new phenomenon to any restaurant or cafe, but I’ve been going to this place for like six years, it is like I am just waking up or something. It’s still delicious, better than Taco Bell, oh my god I can’t believe I just said that. Sorry Taco Bell I am cheating on you with someone who has even less ingredients than you.
Yeah! You’ve finally woken up to the “true reality” of the cafe! It’s just like that part in The Matrix where Keanu takes the red pill (or the blue one, I can’t remember) and then that mirror gets all crazy and he wakes up in the future which is actually the real reality and there are giant robots everywhere who rule humanity and Laurence Fishburne is there and he’s all like “your name isn’t Mr. Andersen it’s Neo and my name is Morpheus and there’s this prophecy that this old black chick told me about and you’re gonna learn kung fu and kick everyone’s asses”. It’s just like that, except instead of Keanu there’s you, and instead of robots and kung fu there’s like peppers and artichokes. Right? Did I hit the nail on the head or what?
the closest taco bell near me is always packed with old chinese people, white folks, skaters, homeless people, and others. needless to say,i don’t stop in there that much.
Te Quieres ‘artichokes?’ Maybe you can write an amazing letter to both of them and get them to join forces! The world would then have an edible revolution with items like: The artichoke chalupa, The cheesy beefy peppery melt, Veggie frittata taquitos, and my personal favorite, The big Fat Greek Gordita. It really is a match made in heaven. Oh and Aaron, it’s the red pill you sacrilegious bastard
Ok, I’m going to NYC, DC and LV end of this month. Is there like a must eat place in NYC? In UAE, I am deprived of fresh good food, so, I’m going all out with eating when I go to the States. We don’t even have Taco Bell here. I reckon even Taco Bell’s food is fresher than the food I get from the supermarket here.
I know countries where they have less that 5 ingredients for the whole “national cuisine”, like Englad. Oh no, wait a second, they don’t even have a “national cuisine style”, but still they only use 5 ingredients and one is beer (I am sorry Londoners, beer is not food, it’s good, but no food), the other one is potatoes, and third one beans. Not a lot of room to play with, eh.
by the way I really have a hard time to go to an regional cuisine restaurant when I’ve had some good food from that region because I am afraid they are going to fucked it up. It’s like going to a Spanish restaurant here in London, grrrrr. (i’ll go one day I promise)
