Pork butt is below my baby back ribs. The butt has been on since about 8:30am. Ribs went on at 12:00pm. I am thinking about 6pm tonight I am going to have an amazing dinner.

I didn't really appreciate the physical size of that sandwich. There's really nothing for scale in the image.
In the video, it's a little easier to comprehend:
It's just utterly silly. There is no way any one human could physically eat that in one sitting.
I am disappoint.

I don't usually order "off the menu."
I hate being "that guy" for whom the menu isn't quite good enough, but for some reason, I just had a serious hankering for mango chicken this afternoon. It's not an exceedingly popular dish (for reasons which mystify me) and I couldn't find any restaurants on Mott St which were advertizing it.
So I picked out a somewhat upscale-looking Dim Sum place, went in, ordered a Tsingtao, and asked if they could make me a plate of Chicken with Mango.
As it turns out, yes- they could. (Apparently, it's only listed on the Mandarin version of the menu, not the English one. To reiterate, this befuddles me. It is one of the absolute best Chinese dishes in the world.)
Imagine a non-stop orgasm in your mouth which lasts for a full 25 minutes. This was definitely one of the better mango chicken dishes I've had. They added a bit of sliced whole ginger, which is something I'd never experienced before in this context. Each time you bit into a chunk, it set off a little flavor explosion which lingered for several bites.
I ******* love NY.
Have I said that before? I think I may have. Let me re-state:
I ******* love NY!
(I honestly think that this is the part of my soon-to-be-former career I'm going to miss the most- no more frequent trips to the big apple on somebody else's nickle.)
Dinner tonight?

Or you know you're in DC, where, by law, everyone is required to have their sign in Chinese:
You know you're in the right part of town when you can go to starbucks and get a white chocolate mocha and a chocolate chip banana coffee cake, then cross the street and shop at the Gap, and then go watch a Caps game at the Verizon Center!
