Cullinary Tastes Fit For Dad
Hello, everybody, and Happy Father's Day!
Sure. I know most of you all are going to spend Father's Day the same way you spent Mother's Day about a month ago: with a big, elaborate dinner in mind! Some of you will be making dinner at home. Others, like my family, will be treating Dad to a nice, homestyle meal outside the home, at one of the finer eating establishments that this country is most famous for. As for us, the Harley family, we are taking Dear Old Dad to a nice Mexican bistro in our hometown of Hawthorne: The Happy Onion (La Cebolla Alegra, to my Spanish speaking friends). One of my favorite restaurants, The Happy Onion gives you a taste of the real thing, not just a mass-produced facsimile.
Say, for instance, you wanted a taco. You could go to Taco Bell and get a taco, but it will be the typical mass-produced variety that teenagers have been eating ever since rock 'n roll began. But if you have a taco at a place like The Happy Onion, it's like entering a whole different world. I mean, it tastes like the tacos that I would imagine I would find if I crossed the border into Mexico, man. Like, it's a totally different culinary experience. It's just the same with hamburgers. Take your basic, garden variety burger at somewhere like McDonald's. It tastes good, if you're going out on a date with the person from your high school home room. But if you go to a real burger joint like Bob's Big Boy, you get a sense of what a real burger tastes like, and it tastes like the kind your grandma would make for you. Another example is pizza. You can have a cookie cutter pizza from somewhere like Domino's, and that's what you get: another cookie cutter pizza. Now, take the kind from a real pizzeria Like Shakey's, and it's a whole fragging different ballgame. Yeah, there's a definite difference between culinary tastes for adolescents and those for more, mature, culinary tastes.
Well, that's all the time we have for this week. Until next time, be well, stay well, and don't forget to help the disaster survivors!
Sincerely,
Marley Sue
