Famous Fat Dave: The Hungry Cabbie » Posts For Not For Tourists http://famousfatdave.com/blog The Eating Adventures of a Checker Cabbie Sat, 26 Sep 2009 18:26:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 Jewish Penicillin http://famousfatdave.com/blog/2006/12/15/jewish-penicillin/ http://famousfatdave.com/blog/2006/12/15/jewish-penicillin/#comments Fri, 15 Dec 2006 07:24:24 +0000 Administrator http://famousfatdave.com/blog/2006/12/15/jewish-penicillin/ If your Jewish mother puts the chicken through the deflavorizor, read today’s Not For Tourists Guidebook New York page for renewed hope. Also read it if your Jewish mother cooks a mean brisket like mine does. Go ahead and read it even if you don’t have a Jewish mother at all.

Saxelby Cheesemongers.

And while you’re there, check out Friday’s Not For Tourists DC page for a review of the hottest Italian restaurant in Potomac, MD:

Oh, and that bartender also happens to be my best friend since 7th grade (but that doesn’t mean that what I wrote about her isn’t true).

But if he goes anywhere, I hope it is back to the Yankees. Either way, read yesterday’s Not For Tourists Guidebook Washington, DC page for an idea on where to eat in the area between the Capitol and RFK Stadium.

If you haven’t, may I suggest you do so today. Both the New York page (Randazzo’s Seafood in The Bronx) and the DC page (Roger’s Produce in Potomac, Maryland) have blurbs written by some crazy cabbie.

Also, I’ve missed a couple opportunities to link to my blurbs in the past few weeks, so you can belatedly click below for those as well.

But it just makes me excited. Check out the “Tracts” section of Not For Tourists Guidebook’s New York page for a long, sole-searching piece I wrote on a magical neighborhood deep in Brooklyn where all-you-can-eat sushi is a way of life:

I’ve already mentioned that I’m not afraid to admit I enjoy fast food. And you could have guessed that half-priced sushi would make me happy:

New York: Sushi Lounge

DC: Taco Bell

This just in: since I’ve eaten at that Taco Bell, the area around it has been torn down to make way for some condos. The Taco Bell may be soon to follow. In that case, consider the story an obit.
