First, my condolences on the loss ...Hello Justin. <br /><br />First, my condolences on the loss of your friends. My experience is that the longer you live, the more loss you experience. A lousy trade. “Time is piling up, we struggle and we scrape/we’re all boxed in, nowhere to escape.” I feel like Dylan can always say something true. And thank you for this post, which I found just like binxers above in researching who Henry Porter might be. You are a wonderful writer and I enjoyed this a lot. I have a very long and equally sporadic relationship with Dylan but her has been a lifeline over the last few years. In case you or binxers or anyone else might care, I’ve reached the conclusion that Henry Porter is a reference to the character in Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon. That book was published in 1977 and Dylan is a voracious reader so it kind of lines up. Since it’s a fictional character it also makes Dylan’s line true. But a lot of the fun is in the wondering. Finally, I feel like there has to be a small brewer out there who would be willing to produce a Henry Porter. Might be a nice tribute to Tim. Or, it stays as a wonderful memory for you and his friends.

You had to squeeze it onto each nugget or on the lid of a burger. I'm 41 and I was a kid when it came in packaging like that. I always wondered why it wasn't in a normal dipping sauce packet. But it is the absolute best sauce of all the sauces of any fast food restaurant.MrBlakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09031001817040683231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-82393244652816276732020-08-25T15:21:09.531-04:002020-08-25T15:21:09.531-04:00It seems unlikely.

It was definitely not as good as I remembered it. It was more expensive and, though the portion size seemed the same, it was not nearly as good as it used to be. Not enough sauce, and too much chewy, inedible meat. They were packing up a large catering order for someone, and the whole place seemed disorganized. It took at least three minutes of me standing at the register before anyone acknowledged me. I was not impressed. It's a shame, but that's the way of the world. <br /><br />I almost never eat beef anymore unless I'm cooking it myself, so I won't be trying that at Zankou. <br /><br />I have never been to Haig's. Next time I return to the area, I'll put it on my list.

And you are right, Tops chili cheese fries are my delicious guilty pleasure now.)<br /><br />I've been going to Zankou for YEARS. Love the food. However, the Pasadena location is just okay now. Prices have increased (understandable) but the portions have decreased, and it's not just the same anymore. Thankfully, the recipes haven't changed much and most items do still taste great. <br /><br />Justin, have you tried the beef shawarma? (Same as the chicken, but just beef) <br /><br />Also, if anyone else is reading this, I suggest you do NOT get the kabobs from Zankou. The prices are not worth it and the flavors aren't anything exciting. Go to Haig's Kabob in North Hollywood -- arguably, the best kabobs/barbecue in all of Los Angeles. <br /><br />Justin, if you and Elizabeth come back to Pasadena any time, I will treat you both to kabobs/barbecue from Haig's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-88309479526651619702017-05-21T01:29:40.007-04:002017-05-21T01:29:40.007-04:00That's awesome.
