I think in the article about the lobster David presented a number of great findings. Things that certainly made me think about lobster. Luckily I once had a run in with lobster already and have sworn it off years ago. I got food poisoning at a fancypants restaurant and that was that. However I now feel like I have to be a missionary of sorts to spread the gospel truth about lobster and lobster cooking. Up to 45 seconds to die in boiling water? Holy nuts! Talk about a terrible way to go out. Cooking to death, I can't imagine.
And that lobsters are in the same genus as insects? That cracks me up, not that I'm totally against eating a hopper when in a pinch, it's just when the hopper is a swimmer and it can pinch back, and is somehow justified by culinary America to sit with a price tag of $28.99 each (as of 1.12.08 at McGrath's Fish House). Who wants to pay 30 bones to eat a bug?
This whole article made me think about one of my favorite places to get a dog around here in Ut County. It's a small shack called J-Dogs. I've got no need to into the heinous details about what goes into a hotdog, but needless to say, if you like dogs, or even if you don't. J makes a good one. This place used to be a serious run down joint where I'm sure they were paying off the county health inspector in order to continue selling wieners. Now though, you go down there and on any given weekday at noon, you'll be standing at the tail end of a 40 man monster! I can't believe the lines. By the time you finally get to the head, there's another 40 men that have arrived to take your place! It'll blow some minds, I'm not kidding. Anyhow, this whole article reminded me of how my precious meaty sanctuary went from all mine to lengthy line! Saddened and disgruntled I rarely make it down to provo anymore for the packaged porcine party.
