Win a copy of Andrew Zimmern's The Bizarre Truth: How I Walked Out the Door Mouth First ... and Came Back Shaking My Head
 |
The Bizarre Truth, the new book from Bizarre Foods host Andrew Zimmern, drops today, and Meal Ticket's giving away a copy of the brand-new tome, a collection of experiences the food personality gathered during the filming of his new Travel Channel show Bizarre Worlds. Want to win? All you gotta do is submit a funny, apropos answer to the following question (you can leave it in the comments, or e-mail it to drew.lazor@citypaper.net):
If Andrew Zimmern came to visit you in Philly, where would you take him to eat and why?
We'll be accepting submissions until tomorrow afternoon at 2 p.m. That gives you a little more than 24 hours to come up with a winning answer. Get to commenting/e-mailing, and good luck!
I would take him to the Italian Market, where he could get a taste of the best (Di Bruno Bros., Claudio's,Sarcone's, La Veracruzana) and most bizarre (the lines at Geno's and Pat's, when neither is a Top 10 Cheesesteak)that Philly has to offer.
If this guy came to visit me, that would mean he has my contact info, which means that we would be colleagues at a minimum, and I'm not yet willing to admit that I'm colleagues with Andrew Zimmern. Jealous of, maybe. But colleagues? hell no. Hypothetically speaking, however, rather than watch him snack on an assorment of chopped up and deep fried genitalia, I think it would be a lot cooler if he just ripped out the pages from his shitty ass book, doused them in a gasoline vinaigrette, and ate every last one.
I'd take him to the next Open ChefAMe because it's my baby. AND the food rocks and the people are pretty cool too. Just my 2 cents. If not that then we'd go to National Mechanics because their veggie burger is fanfreakintastic.
pyt burger
tony luke's so he can get a piece of that south philly attytood first hand when he stumbles while ordering.
I'd take him to 5th and Wolf for street food. Nothing beats unidentified protein on a stick!
i would take him to china town, but not for dim sum, that's too vanilla, i would take him to the back alleys and feed him all sorts of weird sea creatures and pigeons and durian!!
Taco Loco.
I'd take him to my apartment, where I'd feed him Sloppy Jacks, (Sloppy Joes on pancakes, all from scratch) and Yards. Why? Because I want someone else to love them as much as I do.
I'd take him to a cheesteak place that also sold Taylor's Pork Roll. Then I'd ask the steak maker to combine them both into a sandwich and we'd eat that. This would confirm my suspicions that this might be the greatest culinary combo that hasn't (to my knowledge) been attempted yet.
