McDonald's Delivery

2010-01-12T02:10:00.003-05:00

Did you know that McDonald's delivers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week here? I never eat McDonald's back home, but over here they have chicken wings. This is us at 2:30am on a Monday night. Not only does McDonald's deliver, KFC and Burger King do as well. If they delivered in the States.... do you know how many MORE people would be obese?

Bullfrog HotPot

2010-01-04T06:27:00.003-05:00

Looks spicier than it really is.

This restaurant is supposed to be well known for its bullfrog hotpot. It's different than most, and the bullfrogs are ... fried? Rather than steamed. The restaurant is located beside the Gucci Store on MaoMing Lu/Changle Lu. A meal for 4 cost about 150-200RMB.

Squid

Dandelion tea and red raisin-a-likes. 10RMB for a bag of dandelions, 5 rmb for a bag of red raisin things, 5 rmb for sugar cubes. You can find it in just about any tea shop off the street.

Grilled squid... for about $1.75 USD. Anyone? Salzeriya, the best ghetto Italian restaurant in China. You can get a whole pizza and a bowl of pasta for about $4 USD.

Cooking at Home, Away from Home

2009-08-04T19:53:00.003-04:00

I don't have a clue how to cook Chinese food. Plus I'm living in Shanghai so it'd probably be better if I just stepped outside my door and let them do their thing. But when I'm hungry as fuck at home, I trust the good ole tuna sandwich and chicken breast to satisfy my hunger. fuck snickers.

yeahhhhh boi! ain't nothin like chicken and potatoes after wildin out w/ MSG for the past year. to be honest, i probably make this meal 3-4 times a week.... i'm not into eating out everyday, especially after the amount of times i've had food poisoning here.

I can make the best tuna salad sandwich. seriously. try this recipe next time:

red onions (chopped)
celery (chopped)
gold raisins & dried cranberries (chopped)
salt & pepper
spicy/dijon mustard
mayo

whip that shit up, put some cheese on it, you are set. if you're in the states, buy only Cento tuna, nothing else compares for the price.

Hot Pot

2009-08-04T19:33:00.005-04:00

You can't very well go to China and not eat hot pot. For those of you that don't know or never had hot pot, it is literally... where there is a huge ass pot in the middle of the table; you order huge dishes of uncooked veggies and meat and you drop them into it to cook. When it's ready, you pick them out and dip them in a sauce and munch down with your Suntory. People spend hours at hot pot dinners. Most birthdays are spent getting drunk with like 15 of your friends in a room eating shitloads of cuts of lamb and thin noodles. Sometimes... you end up shitting your pants from 5am-11am the next day b/c you're drunk and dont 'like to let the food cook all the way before you eat it .... as was the case with me.

Lamb is to hot pot as chocolate is to Hersheys.

Chowing downnnn! Johnny Tang and his brother, Jeremy, Boss and his girl.

This is also one of the best things... you get these monstrous bones with meat on them. and then suck out the bone marrow with a straw. Fucking rad. You feel like cavemen did.

Anyone up for a slice of Testicle Pizza?

2008-12-05T08:04:00.003-05:00

While looking for good places to eat around my area, I came across this article on Shanghai City Weekend about some chef who specializes in cooking testicles. In the article it says that eating testicles are high in testosterone..... ahaha, well no SHIT, hence the saying "Where the fuck are your balls?"

You can read more here. There's even a World Championship Testicle Cook-off.

Black Chicken ... soup?

2008-10-03T01:59:00.003-04:00

So I recently moved from Delaware, USA to Shanghai, CHINA and I'll probably be chillin out here for the next year. As you all may know from the news, rumors, stories as a child, etc, etc, there are some crazy fucking things to eat here in China. Now I'm not one to carry a digicam where ever I go and take photos of everything so you'll probably peep a quarter of the things that I eat here but when I get a chance, I'll try to just post up whatever.

Anyway, I went to "Kung Fu Chicken" yesterday for dinner, which is the equivalent of a McDonalds in China. Basically, it's fast food Chinese food... I know you're saying to yourself.... isn't Chinese food basically fast food? Well yeah, this is like even worst than the McDonald's shit.

I ordered Combo #3 which was labeled as garlic and herb spiced beef ribs with a bowl of rice, a side of cooked lettuce (??), and a bowl of soup. The beef ribs were okay, and the cooked lettuce was kind of weird, it was like eating a warm salad w/ vinaigrette dressing on it, but didn't taste bad, didn't really taste good, I mean I woudlnt' go out of my way to order it. And then.... the soup. WHAT THE FUCK IS A BLACK CHICKEN?? So I googled it and apparently it is known in China to be a "healing" soup. And is supposed to have like twice the amount of nutrients as regular chicken soup.

Well this is what was in my Black Chicken soup:

You can't really see from the picture, but it's not even chicken meat... it's like they spooned out the chicken's liver/heart/guts and stuck them in a bowl of hot water and gave it to me. I tasted the soup and it's not that bad, but I couldn't finish it due to the chicken organs floating around... and the black chicken skin just pouchin in my soup. Nahhhhh, I have to pass on this one.

If you look closely, you can see they used an image of Bruce Lee for their restaurant logo, hahaa. Kung Fu Chicken.... they just have used a fucking chicken in a karate outfit... i mean that would make more sense.

Anyway, there are a lot of different types of food in Shanghai, and I have yet to try the local Shanghainese cuisine. I hear they have a Drunken Shrimp dish which is they have a bowl of live shrimp, and they slowly dilute their water with saki or beer until the shrimp are ridiculously drunk. Then you eat them live and supposedly their texture or soemthing tastes good. I have GOT to try this.

Little Caesar's Hot and Ready Pizzas

2008-08-25T13:29:00.003-04:00

Experience: Every skate trip I've been on where I've been poor has consisted largely with dollar menus and Little Caesar's Hot and Ready Pizza's. And since I've been poor as shit on every skate trip I've been on.... I've eaten a shitload of these things. They're $5 buckaroos, fill you up (for that moment) and you can share with your homies. Split between 2 people, that's only $2.50 each.... if you can't do math. They aren't exactly the best tasting pizza... I mean as basic as it comes, dough, cheap cheese, cheap pepperoni, but if you're starving, how could you complain. I don't know where else you can get a whole pizza for $5- without having to by a minimum of 3 like Pizza Hut/Domino's. So hate it or love it, if you're poor and with a bunch of other poor dudes, this is the way to go. I have to say, the best Hot and Ready Pizza I ever had was in Miami... but maybe it was because we'd been skating all day and it was the first thing we had to eat in like 10 hours.

Price: $5

Service: whatever

Rating: 6/10 ... cheap food for okay taste

Margherita's Pizza: Main St. Newark, Delaware

2008-08-19T00:07:00.002-04:00

Place: Margherita's Pizza
Main Street, Newark, DE

Experience: Okay, okay, everyone thinks this is the best place to get pizza in Delaware... WELL YOU'RE FUCKING WRONG.

This place is a piece of shit that serves the some SHITTY ass pizza. That's right. Someone had to say it. I'll say that maybe 3 years ago, the pizza here was some what good and satisfying but in the past year +, this place has gone to shit. The toppings are old as fuck, there's hardly ever any pizza in there with tomato sauce, and the prices are up, which is undersandable since everything is getting more expensive, but now Margherita's was known for their huge slices.. which even now are fucking domino's pizza/papa johns steeze meaning, they suck major cock diesel.

So, I'll have to go ahead and give this place a fucking 3/10 stars on the star count. They need to go back to what they had going on 3-4 years ago, with some fucking fresh ingredients, that perfect crunchy yet soft crust/dough, and get that Lorenzo's Pizza style slice sizes going on. If you don't know what Lorenzo's Pizza is, get your fucking ass to 3rd and South St. in Philly if you want to know what real pizza tastes like... even that isn't even that good REALLY.

Other options: you want good pizza, go to Ciao's Pizza in Trolley Square, Wilmington Delaware. I think it's owned or run by the same people who do Margherita's but they must be doing something right b/c their pizza doesn't taste like it's been farted on.

Price: Slices: $2.00 Cheese $2.50+ for toppings

Service: ghetto ass white boys or italian dudes also trying to be gangster. They used to have real fucking italian dudes who made the pizza right and served it to you like you were a piece of shit. pizza nazi style. they gone soft

Rating: 3/10 stars

Tyler Jacobson's Crab Dip Recipe

2008-08-03T22:15:00.004-04:00

So Dreadlock Joey turned 32 over the weekend and had 2 BBQ's. He had this crab dip there, which apparently is Tyler Jacobson's recipe, but I stole it and now it's here on the web.

This shit is bangin. It's good with tortilla chips but even better on some crackers, like those ritz butter crackers.

Here's the recipe:

1 can of lump crab meat
1 whole tub of cream cheese. not the small one but the next size up tub.
a LITTLE bit of chili sauce. he used Heinz, but whatever is probably fine, just put a little in at a time to taste until you get it how you want.

THat's it, mix that shit together and you got yourself some 5 star quality appetizer.

Keep this on the downlow.

Klondike Kates

2008-08-03T00:37:00.004-04:00

Located on Main Street in Newark, Delaware.
www.klondikekates.com

Experience: As much as its filled with jocks and wack ass dudes, the food is straight and they have some good drink specials and hot babes who pouch here. This place has the best and cheapest salads on Main Street. The house salad from KK is $2.95, massive as shit and you can pick from like 20 diff. dressings. They got good weekly specials too:

Monday: Half price burgers $5 - choice of burgers w/ fries
Tuesday: Half price nachos $5 - fills up a whole pizza box if you get it to go, w/ a bunch of toppings and chili and salsa. GET THIS SHIT!
Wednesday: i don't think anything
Thursday: Half price wings and $5 domestic pitchers - Good wings. get them to mix the bbq and hot sauce before applying on wings, that's the best way to get them. Comes with bleu cheese and celery. GET THIS SHITTTTT!
Friday: nothing
Sat: Nothing
Sunday: half price appetizers after 10pm. Get the clams, if you're by yourself otherwise you're friends will murder them.

I can't remembe the last time i got an entree from this spot so I can't say anything about it, but I got like a tuna burger or some shit from here for lunch one time and it was kind of bland but whatever, it was a tuna burger, what do you expect. This ain't no Mikimoto's. Anyway, I'd recommend coming here for the weekly specials and the house salad but you're on your own for the entrees.

Price: Cheap for specials, about $15 for entrees.

Service: whatever

The Crownery Chinese Restaurant

2008-08-03T00:17:00.003-04:00

Located in Lantana Square, Hockessin, Delaware.
Phone #: 302-239-3825
Website: http://www.crownery.com

Experience: I'm going to say that to this date, this is the best chinese food you can get in Delaware or Northern Delaware. Happy Garden or No. 1 Chinese ain't got shit on this place. This is also a nice ass restaurant too, you can take a girl on a date here or just pick something up for lunch/dinner. Of course the price for lunch specials are around $7 and the dinner entrees are around $15-25, but you're paying for that banger shit, not that fast food chinese wackness. Last week I ordered a Curry Chicken from Happy Garden and the curry was too watered down w/ little taste and the chicken was still pink. Veggies were prob. frozen too, but that's what you get when the whole thing cost less than $5 krills. But I went with my mom and brothers to The Crownery yesterday for lunch and got some Fried Crispy Jumbo Prawns w/ Pepper, some shredded beef with vegetables, and spicy chicken with vegetables, and that shit is the hot jawnzzzzz. Whole bill came up to be about $45 w/ rice and tea included. GO there and eat that shiiiiiiiiiiit!!!

Price: Definitely not cheap, but it ain't expensive. Lunch specials are about $6-$7. Dinner Entrees are about $15-25.

Service: Good service, nice friendly people and I actually grew up with two of the kids who's parents run the restaurant; Mark and Mike Chan. But I'm not being biased in any way, the food talks for itself.

Introduction

2008-08-03T00:05:00.003-04:00

I recently went out to lunch with my mom and brother at some International Buffet up on Kirkwood Hwwy to eat and that place sucked dick. So I thought I'd start this blog up to give my 2 cents on what the best places to eat in the Delaware area are, as well as the places to NOT go to, such as that International Buffet place.

That's basically what this whole blog will be about: food. I'm just some random kid who likes to eat a shitload of food and it has to be good food not that shitty ass McDonald's or some shitty ass cheesesteak they serve at Pats or Gino's in Philly. B/c anyone thinks they have good cheesesteaks, you're a fucking bag of swag.

You don't have to like my posts or reviews, I'm just putting it out there for anyone to read and judge for themselves. I've never been to culinary school or took any classes like that in school but I eat a shit load of food and I know what tastes good and what tastes like shit. But everyone's different.
