I'm leaving on a jet plane today... I should be packing. I should also win an award for procrastination...
I slept great last night, considering all that's on my mind... I have a list of restaurants that I have to eat at when I travel back to my hometown. So if I get to thinking about them before I go to sleep it'll put me into a tailspin and I won't sleep well at all. Luckily I had other things on my mind last night (get your head out of the gutter, there was no hanky panky) and I slept like a baby... But now that I'm awake all I can think of is Well's Brother's Pizza. A Sirloin Tip Burrito from Tacos El Rey. A 5x5 burger from Ron's Place Bar. Pizza from Rocky's. Chef Kid's spinach dip from Wine Knot. Valeo's Pizza. A giant plate of mostaccioli and meatballs from Casa Capri. Pizza from Casa Capri. Uggggghhhh you can throw a rock in my hometown and hit an amazing pizza spot... This could go on all day so I'll stop there...
My kids are starting to ask to go visit specific places when we visit... I just about cried real tears when those knuckleheads asked to go to Ron's place for Italian Fries. They never know the name but they remember the food and we have to play the guessing game on what they're exactly looking for... And I'm down to play that game any day of the week...
I absolutely love it when my AZ homies are like "Yo, we need to come to your hometown with you and hit up all those food spots..." (I'm making these friends sound way more street than they really are... 😂) It makes my cold black heart warm up a tick.
I don't like to call myself an influencer. That feels dirty, like I try to get free food from restaurants... No, no, no. That's not my style. I pay for everything I eat. I'm more of a #badinfluencer. Which means that your cardiologist will want to have a few words with me after we hang out. I'm just out here like, fuck it, eat that pizza puff. But be careful, it just came out of the fryer so you're going to want to wait another 20 minutes before you can maybe take a bite...
So to any of my friends that want to travel to Kenosha, Wisconsin on a food tour, hit me up because I am down... Your belly will be full, your wallet will be a little lighter, but you will leave with the best food memories. That I can guarantee...
