In the News

Connor and I made the local news yesterday.

UPDATE!

I'm now one of those guys that films their TV. Here's the video:

Vegway Frank

"Hey Jeff, your blog about Fenway Franks was fascinating, but I am a vegetarian, what are your thoughts on the veggie dog at Fenway" - No One in the Known or Future History of the Universe

Dear Mr. Universe, thanks for writing and it is funny you should ask because I tried a veggie dog at Fenway yesterday. I brought Connor to his first Sox game. Here he is sitting on the visitor's dugout, I tried facing him towards the camera, but he would just launch himself at me and the camera:

I spent most of the time at Fenway just walking Connor around in his stroller. I recommend bringing a stroller to a baseball game. Walking around with a stroller, people actually get out of your way and don't bump into you. If you don't have a baby yourself, I would still recommend bringing a stroller. Just dress up a pineapple or something and put it in the stroller. I think people would really get out of your way if you did that.

Anyway, pushing Connor around got me hungry so I wanted to get something to eat. It was important to keep moving so I wanted to go to some place without a line. Believe it or not, the vegetarian vendor had no line. The veggie burgers looked bad, so I got a veggie dog. It was $5, the same as a Fenway Frank. 

I went to the condiment bar, threw some mustard on it and then excitedly started cranking the onion machine. I get way too much joy from the onion machine. Sadly, the onion machine was empty. That didn't stop me from continuing to crank it for a good 30 seconds. I probably looked like a maniac. So my veggie dog only had mustard on it, or just M.

So while continuing to push the stroller around, I ate the hot dog. And I have to say it wasn't too bad. I probably enjoyed it more than I enjoy my annual Fenway Frank. So if you are vegetarian, in the mood for a hot dog, have $5, and are at Fenway, you are weird, but get a Vegway Frank. You can find it behind the bleachers.

El Pelon Tacos

Connor and I went to the Fenway open house the other day. It was madness. People were everywhere, lines were wihckad lahng. The people on the field looked like human cattle.

In contrast, Heather and I went to a Mother's Day open Fenway thingy a few years ago. We walked on the field and there were maybe 50 people on the whole field. It was fun, and we took a bunch of pics in the dugout. We walked up to a table and Mark Kotsay was there signing things. We got an autograph and I said "Hey, good luck this season Mark!". He was released a month later.

Anyway, Connor and I went to El Pelon. I decided to branch out and get tacos. I got the Americanos which I think means "awesome order".

It is two chicken tacos with lettuce, salsa, cheese and sour cream: a true awesome order.

The W

I finally tried the new burger, the W at Wendy's. Wendy's is probably my favorite of the big fast food places. But I've never lived too close to one, so going to one is like a treat. A really sad treat.

So I tried the W. Here it is:

It is two small patties, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions and special sauce. It's LTPOSS. I really liked it. It reminded me a lot of In-n-Out. I actually thought it was better than most burgers I get at Five Guys.

They also have the fancy soda machine that has 1,000 different sodas. So I was pretty happy. Connor helped me with the fries.

Uburger

That is the Ucheeseburger at Uburger. I believe it is the best burger in the world. It has lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions and special sauce. LTPOSS if you will.

Heather got the Hot Chick which is grilled chicken with buffalo sauce, lettuce, tomatoes and blue cheese ("On the side!" Heather said, of course).

Here's a pic of it:

As you can see, Heather took some bites, so there is a chicken peninsula. Anyway, that sandwich is really good, and not too bad for you ("On the side!" Heather said, of course).

We also got fries and onion rings, both are yummy. Connor had a fry:

So if you want the best burger in the world, go to Uburger. And, yes, I have had In-n-Out so I don't want to hear it, whoever you are since no one knows about this blog.
