shrimp po boy

The Shrimp Po Boy is a bunch of fried shrimp on a roll. Sounds simple? You'd think so, but the location of the really good shrimp po boys is hotly contested. This particular po boy came from the 49 restaurant in Gulfport, oddly enough located on highway 49.

To help you northerners understand, the shrimp po boy is the Cheesesteak of the south. Everybody makes one, and everyone disagrees over where to go to get the best one.

Good to be that guy

So now I'm the Director of Web Communications at my new company - a very old company - the American Bible Society. The pace is frenetic, the people are fantastic and I'm trying to clean up a bit of a web mess.

Our Development department has been working through a direct mail provider called Stratmark who, in a wash of Christmas spirit, has sent me a gift.
A gift of Chocolate.

This tower from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Company contained a plethora of cocoa goodness from the nutty caramels in the top to the lovingly wrapped pretzels in the middle down to the ensconced cashews and almonds in the bottom. All delicious.

It's good to be the guy who gets stuff from vendors for Christmas.

Five Guys

First of all, it's been a long time since I've posted anything and that's not because I haven't been eating - oh no. I've just been very busy...

• Getting a new job


• Moving to the Philadelphia suburbs


• Getting engaged to Sylvia

I've been working hard and eating at home or at my desk a whole lot. But today at lunch TJ brought me over to Five Guys. It's the East's answer to In-N-Out.

Great burgers, fresh toppings, Bay's seasoning on the fries and Coke at the fountain.

This particular Five Guys is in a strip-mall, just about a mile from my office, and now I have a fun place to go for lunch from time to time.

One note - there are free peanuts in the shell available for munching. They are not roasted. They are raw peanuts. That is just wrong.
