A bit of a food afternoon.
Stopped by Book Beat in Oak Park where I found a copy of Hopkins' Strange Foods. I've been wanting to read this book ever since I saw Tony Bourdain on Cook's Tour meet up with Hopkins in Bangkok for a meal of everything you would never think of eating. I can’t wait to read about the rotten fish pate.
Then it was a quick trip next door to the Bread Basket deli for a huge Reuben. This is a sandwich piled high. I could barely get it down and I have big appetite for a little guy. While I waited for carry out, the folks behind the counter got into a nice debate over whether or not Janet Jackson really planned to show her boob last night on TV. Everyone's talking about Janet, but what about the streaker? That's getting no press at all. Has streaking lost its interest or pizzazz?

How coincidental. I was also there having a reuben the other day. It was good.

Hi Samantha. If Wayne and us over at UDM ever work it out, maybe we'll bring Computers and Writing to Detroit, and you can pay a visit to Book Beat.
I should also tap your brain for good places to eat at that I'm not yet aware of....

I really miss Book Beat and the Bread Basket *sniff*. You are making me mighty homesick!
