Ho's Gotta eat too....
I’m going to step away from the Hoein’ a moment and talk about my other favorite past time which is - feeding my belly with exotic foods. I’ve even entertained the idea of becoming a food critic or ghost writer for Sauce Magazine, but every media outlet that I wanted to write for were looking for “Volunteer Writers”, and I’m not about to waste my brain power writing articles for free. Fuck that! I’d rater blog about the places that I love to eat at and get paid from the affiliate links.
But the problem that I find with living in predominately “Black areas” is the lack of good places to eat, and if you live in “da hood”, then you’re really screwed. The only thing the Hood has to offer is Fried Chicken Joints, Bad Chinese food, White Castles, and Subway sandwich shops ran by Arabs and Indians. And if you’re lucky you may get a soul food restaurant or Tamale shack that remained in the area since the 60’s. But the problem with a lot of those restaurants is many change hands over the years and looses a lot of the fabulousness that made it popular. Look at London and Sons.
Anyone who’s a St. Louis native should know about London and Sons, Sweetie Pies, Brown Sugar, and White barn. Some of those places still have good food, and some don’t. That’s why it’s imperative that I live in a diverse neighborhood where the people are serious about serving good food and having a good reputation.
Take White Barn for instance. White Barn is a hamburger shack that’s smack dab in the middle of the ghetto, but everyone from Doctors, Lawyers, and business men would go there because the food was fabulous. Then the owners sold it to some degenerates, and the food turn to shit. I remember one day I stopped by there to get my son a plain Hot Dog, and I could see some teenagers cooking my food and listening to Rap music, and right then I knew my food was going to be shit. So when they handed me my greasy see through paper bag, I was horrified when I got home to see that those degenerates had put my son’s hot dog on a Hamburger bun. What the Fuck??
But thankfully today the areas that I frequent have fabulous diverse restaurants. And although one of my favorites is a Sushi joint that’s frequented by a bunch of arrogant pompous pricks, I have to remember that I’m there for the good food and not the people.
Can I ask you good people for a favor? Can you give me a restaurant recommendation? It can be anywhere in the world?
Give me the Name, City- State-or Country, and Type of food they serve. Leave a comment!
