Progreso Weekly ..!!

A newsmag for communist pasta lovers?

I think they serve frogs legs at the (original) Nathan's, down in Coney Island.

Then again, they serve a lot of stuff there that isn't available at other branches of the chain restaurant.

I don't see why they had to go and close one of the last two remaining Nathan's in my borough, then build yet another pizzeria.

Bah!

3 ZOT threads in one day! Gotta be a record!

Good Moderator: Might this be a record?

I think that might belong to Esquire or Ash. Although at the time the threads weren't zotted, but the poster was banned multiple times in one day.

Joan Didion is quite a hateful old communist cow.

No fooling?

With convenience comes uniformity.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

I suppose.

Nathan's is really the only fast food place-aside from KFC-that I actually patronize with any sort of frequency.

They do serve great food, at least, in comparison with similar chain restaurants.

I only meant that with the fast food take-over of neighborhoods there seems to be a cycle where the Mom&Pop, and smaller ethnic businesses lose out, then you have three hamburger chains on the same intersection. Then the "ethnic" and "niche" emerge.

Here in CA it used to be family-owned Mexican. Few of those anymore. But there is a very good chain, La Salsa. Taco Bell is for kids, just so you know.

KFC is one of the basic food groups. Isn't it?

ZOT

My neighborhood is definitely unique.

It essentially consists of less than 20 blocks, but somehow, has managed to support fifteen different pizzerias.

And that's not even including the Domino's take-out place that's a few blocks away from my house.

I actually do have some snaps I took on my digital camera-of the Christmas/New Year's decorations-I just haven't figured out how to post them to a new thread yet.

15 pizzerias in 20 blocks. Sounds like No. Beach, SF!

Holy crap! That's right out of pet semetary! LOL
