In preparation for this food event thing I’ma be part of in February – no, not the Mac and Cheese Off in October your mamma was telling you about, but that IS coming soon – L, P and I made our way back to the Great Wall Supermarket in Brooklyn. Goddamn, I love that place, and at the same time, I kinda want to slit something. Saw some gross shit, but also bought a case of quail eggs.

Ever since B went to Fatty Crab and had some Quail Egg Shooters, I’ve been a little nutters about making them myself. So, after the trip to the Great Wall, I brought my little marbled eggs home and had a fucking ball. Check out how much B loves me by swallowing some made up shit I topped off the dome. Below that, check out a new slide show from some serious shit I saw at The Great Wall Supermarket.

I’m sorry, did you ask why I wanted to slit something? It’s probs cause I’m pretty sure that mad shit going on at the Great Wall is so illegal. Like, stuffing 10 fish into a tea cup and shit. Like, piling live frogs into a crusty ass box, waiting to be made into soup. The store itself is a bit vomatocious, but at the same time, completely enthralling. I would recommend a trip. Until then, check out the slide show.

special note to my regs, you might have seen some of these pics before…

Lots have happened in the last couple of weeks, all good shit. Part of festivities led B and me to The Strip House in NYC. Now, I’m not normally down for throwing my life savings into a meal, but this was necessary. And once the oysters came out, led by truffled mushrooms, parmesan fries and a shared, medium-rare porter house, I knew we made the right choice. Twas doubly fortified when the next day, we turned the leftovers into a steak and egg remix. So friends, next time your out, eating the shteckies, remind yourself that pigging your face out on meat is awesome, but saving a couple bites for your breakfast, tossed with eggs and an added bloody is well worth it.
