I just went to Cafe Dukes yesterday and I bought a mini black forest cake for $5.50!! I went home and wanted to surprise my husband with a little cake for dessert and what happens?? We bit into the cake and it tasted like sour bleach! The whole cake layer inside was alive with greyish blue mold! Needless to say, it not only ruined my evening but it spoiled my appetite for anything Duke in the future!!

>”It’s a slippery slope – first the shrimp – next the “chicken” will be pigeon, the “beef” will be dog, the “pork” will be rat. And so on”

HA! Who says it’s not already!

So I said to the Asian waiter, are you sure this is chicken? He said “Yes, is chikin, you know, meow, meow”

Where as the worldwide rumour that Mcdonalds products contain shit there is infact absolute proof that all Zen ‘meat alternatives’ are in fact made from turds scooped from the east river.*

Read the post & was inspired to have the fake shrimp at ZenBurger – it was great! Really had the texture of batter fried shrimp & wasn’t overcooked into rubber. No need to hate on the fake shrimp concept!

And here’s another rec: the ZenTuna sandwich was friggin’ AMAZING – had the texture of tuna without the stench, & had a very pleasant, subtle lemon twang. Also, stay away from the emerald green iced tea – nasty and bitter. The peach iced tea, however, was pretty good – 10 calories a serving & no nasty sugar-substitute aftertaste.

slurry-fying, the act of making something into slurry. not frying. The only thing more twee than Jamies wellies are wellies with like dogs or some crap on it. And I’m into indie pop. I know twee. Anyhow, Kate wanna meet me at Fashion Soup and try and score some modelizers?
