Feel free to skip this, because it's going to have absolutely nothing to do with baseball.
Remember Tommy Lasorda's blog? Right. Well, he has a new entry, and in delightful stereotype-reinforcing fashion, this fat, Italian rich guy decided to write all about his favorite restaurants. Now that's a spicy-a meatball!
He lists his picks city by city, as if to say, "if you're ever in Chicago, you have to try ___." And yet, his list is almost half chain restaurants like Bucco di Beppo (he's picking the one in Universal City no less?!). His two picks for Washington, DC: ESPN Zone and The White House.
Finally, presumably because he wanted me to have terrible nightmares tonight, Lasorda also includes the following: "If you combined all the pasta I have eaten at Carmine’s over the years you could fill an entire train."
Terrifying.
First of all, I'd challenge your spelling of the classic Italian cliche: "Now that's a spicy-a meatball!" as: "Now that's a spicy meat-a-ball!" Just rolls off the tongue better. Say them both out loud.
ReplyDeleteSecond, here are my favorite restaurant entries in Tommy's blog:
[in Philadelphia] Pat's – One word: PhillyCheeseSteaks!
I guess technically any number of words can become one word, if you just jam everything together.
[in New York] Rao's – Trust me when I tell you that this Italian restaurant has the Best [sic] meatballs ever! The sauce is so good you want to eat it with a spoon.
As opposed to...?
He also names three (!) different ESPN Zones, and a Cracker Barrel. Yikes.
One word, Junior: ThatIsReallyFunnyThatThoseLinksDon'tWork!
