Aint No Crime / NO MORE GRIMES
Mr Grimes said that in 2001 the two best burgers were DB Bistro and Dim Sum Go Go. In the window of DSGG there is a sign,
DB Bistro Burger $27.50
Dim Sum Go Go $8.95 for 4
I never had the DBBB but for sure the DSGG rocks the burger dept.
the bun is steamed and the burger slippery delish, maybe made with pork and beef tendon plus toes hoof and tail, textured more like sausage to me, so move over Jimmy Dean, and the taro fries so crisp and clean with more texture than potato....HOME RUN
Cops Seize 756 Pounds of Smuggled Bologna
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: November 24, 2003
EL PASO, Texas (AP) -- Border agents last week landed a meaty bust, seizing 756 pounds of bologna arranged into the shape of a car seat and covered with blankets in a man's pickup.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized 81 rolls of Mexican bologna Friday at the Paso Del Norte bridge as the pickup entered the United States.
``It puts the ultimate consumer at risk,'' said customs spokesman Roger Maier. ``Who knows how long these products have gone without refrigeration or without proper handling?''
Children were sitting on top of the illegal load before it was discovered, Maier said. The rear seat had been removed from the extended-cab pickup and the bologna was put in its place.
He said the agency plans to pursue civil penalties against the Mexican man driving the truck. Maier said the agency won't release the man's name until the case goes to trial.
Maier said the bologna goes for about $1 a roll in Juarez. When it is sold to a customer in the United States, it can go for between $5 and $10 a roll , he said.
Last nite was my last nite out on the town for 2003......
Starting out at Fiamma for some tasty grub, white truffles are not great this year and damn expensive but due to some star power we were juiced up, I brought some great old wine, and we were off, Kobe beef over Arugula was a home run to finish the meal, East meets West.......
Than off to wd~50 to try some new creations by the two best talents in NY, a Nantuket Scallop dish that easly goes to the top of the wd charts (its getting to be a long list), I wanted to order 2 more plates but was calmed by a Char treat, both of these may soon to be on the menu, do not miss them, than 2 desserts from the menu, one was Pear 5 Ways AWESOME, than what could actually be the best dessert since the kumquat bliss left the rotation, Concord Grape Sorbet / Goat Cheese Panna Cotta / Port Wine Foam/ etc SCARY AMAZING.....nobody in NY comes close to these guys, NOBOBY.....
The results are in Skinny 1 Lipitor 0.....
Brought my over all Cholesterol from 290 to 190...

Letter From Dad
Steve, After I made my proposal to the Portland School Board regarding irradiated meat in the school lunch program, they asked the Physicians for Social Responsibility for their opinion and this is a draft of what they will send to Oregon School Districts. I feel tremendously validated as they added the probable social effects to the scientific background that I had told them of. The sigma represent bullets in the original doc.
((see comments for rest of message))

Stop #1: inoteca, cant believe how tasty the egg truffle toast on asparagus is for $7, i picked a rose of niederra, scary good with a'gus
Stop #2: wd~50, went for a beer, these folks are wine cool, but my body said beer, new rabbit app yahoo, new soup (in this issue of NY Mag) yahoo, two new "taste's" get yahoo delux. one was a rouget, green (gran-e?) apple, lentil, apple foam? with nori, and soy caramel, what was amazing to me was this light vaporish heat that the combo gave off (cool and cooled by the stout beer), it was from the fish which is cayanne?? treated (i have been to cayanne!!, i need to get back to the amazon), great snack (meal) topped off with a coco choc de safron:>)
Stop #3: Wash Park, couple of fun wines (inc an awesome 90 Sangiovese, a suprise), a customer showed up, we shared the salmon caviar pepper pancake app, very fine dish.
Last Stop: Sample in Brooklyn, I wanted to laugh out (yes i'm drunk), and for no?? good reason, this famous wine guy does the wine list yet the bartender doesnt know the wines, i get a Greek red and white in tumblers, order two app's and both come from cans, they were K-Rations for the gourmet set but comedy to me, after hard core delish food art at wd and simplistic bliss at inoteca what can i say but time for bed
good nite
once a week i have been eating where ever i want but with some reserved approach, one week 360 was fantastic, last week was Rose Water which can be very good and both places are fantastic folks, this saturday i will do the two new dishes at wd~50 (6;00 at the bar if anyone is free, followed by an app at Wash Park and one other place, 4 app's at 3 spots)....
