Live from New York...

I'm posting to get Jo to stop fucking pestering me, as I am mega-swamped and not even getting to enjoy my palacial suite overlooking ground zero, and affording me wrap around views of this glorious island called Manhattan.

I don't know what's for lunch. Ate wings at the airport (and again at the hotel) for lunch yesterday, followed by tasty venison for dinner at Tribeca Grill.

Anyway, to the meat of the matter: WFL!!!!?????

Thank you Ethics.
Let me start by saying what an amazing job Ethics has done as our President, INO (in name only). WE appreciate and celebrate her.

Let me also say that we want this blog to grow, so please feel free to share this wonderful place with trusted friends and acquaintances. The only requirement is that they have an appreciation for lunch. We also are trying to pull in people who will share with us on a consistent basis. One lunch stands are nice, but we would like some committed lunch bloggers.

Enough with the housekeeping, I intend on succesfully ordering from the Greek Deli on 19th street today, regardless of the long line. Wish me luck.

I'm trying this "teleworking" thing today. Its awesome. And one thing I can do is eat somewhere in my neighborhod for lunch. But where? I've got Korean, El Salvadoran, Ethiopian, and hippie options. Not to mention "So's Your Mom Deli." which is worth going to just for the name. what to do....

Watchdog,
Go to So's Your Mom Deli.
Get at least two sandwiches.
When I have the opportunity to go I get the Deluxe Italian Sub and then either the B.A.L.T, the Emmenthaler and Avocado, or the Bruanschweiger on rye with sprouts, swiss, tomato, onion, mayo and horseradish.

By the way is it El Salvadoran or El Salvadorian?

I believe its El Salvadorian. "The Savior". Did you know there are more El Salvadorians in the United States then in El Salvador? Its true.

Your so's your mom advice will most likely be heeded. 2 sandwiches? do you save for later or share with a friend?

What is emmenthaler? I like avocado

I nominate Josephus to be our official daily "leadoff" blogger! Do I hear a second?

I need light and healthy in the worst way. I put myself into a burrito coma yesterday. I guess that means salad, eh?

Josephus said...

Emmenthaler is a swiss cheese.
But fancier. Pronounced "m-n-tall"
I think. I usually eat 1/2 of each sandwich and then the other halves a few hours later. That usually takes place on a Sunday afternoon watching sports. Much like the "teleworking" day you will be having.

Dipso, I appreciate the nomination but for familial reasons I cannot accept at this time.

have any of you ever been to Zingerman's in Ann Arbor? Ridiculous sandwiches. Ridiculous

Ended up at one of those mega gourmet buffets. Some people were going from work, and the place has a salad bar, so I figured I’d go along. Of course I got absolutely no salad, but a container full of steak and green beens, sesame chicken, and kung po chicken. If I don’t start treating my body better, I’m not going to make it to forty. You heard it here first!

I worked at Zingermann's.

Dipso, were you the guy who always got my order wrong, or were you the one who spit in my food?

The Doctor said...

Neither, Watchdog…you wouldn’t have even seen me. I worked on the night cleaning crew. Great job. We’d work every night from 11:30 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. But we got a free sandwich every shift. Overrated nothing. The sandwiches there are (or at least were) superior to, well, those of any other purveyor I have ever encountered in my life. The whole operation is top notch. If you’re in Ann Arbor, people, it is the must stop place (#2 being Krazy Jim’s Blimpy Burgers). Our night crew was seven guys who would get stoned out of our gourds, put on some zappa, and clean the place spotless every single night. I mean, top to bottom totally freakin’ spotless. We would soak and scrub the exhaust hoods every single night, for chrissakes! Any other place I’ve worked, that’s a once a month job MAYBE. You couldn’t even see any grease on them, but we cleaned them anyway. I did that for a couple of years. At one point I decided that I might as well take a job that started at 5:30 a.m. running room service at the Campus Inn. So I’d work from 11:30 p.m. until 1:30 p.m. Then I would drink, and then try to sleep from about 7 or 8 – 11, but that didn’t work out to well. I didn’t really sleep for a few months there. I had the skankiest girlfriend during that time, which I later attributed to, I believe correctly, sleep deprivation. After I quit those jobs and rested up for a week or two, man did she get the shit dumped out of her.

Go blue!
