I swallowed | ElectricRocket's Journal

I just had a scrumdelyicious lunch at a place here in Roswell called The Swallow in the Hollow.

Grilled Portabello mushrooms with melted Gouda and Fried Green Tomato slices on Texas Toast, with a side of mac n’ cheese and brunswick stew.

All I can say is, I’m glad I wore my Big Pants today.

Sounds to me like you might ought to have worn something with a little spandex.

  I was not aware that it was possible to get spandex at Sam’s Club, fine or otherwise.
  
  I’m still saying I make the best mac-n-cheese in the world.

    Well, you have to buy it in packs of 1000.
    
    I will not contest your claim as yet, though I have added a datapoint from the field of competitors.

      The Swallow in the Hollow has thrown down a cheesy, lumpy gauntlet.

      Best to crush the opposition before they get too uppity, I say.

      And then I’ll have touched off a maelstrom of craving for mac-n-cheese done up right and then I’ll never get anything done.
      
      Then I’ll have to pit my chicken salad against somebody’s, and oh, it’s so complicated.

      It’s a long, slow, cheesy path to world domination.

Ok, So I’m glad you had a good lunch. But for the love of GOD, you were at a famous BBQ joint and you had no meat. I’ve never been and it is one of the few places that on reputation alone is considered a joint.

I don’t want to hear about their great mushrooms. If I am going to to live vicariously, can’t it be pork?

With this weight watchers thing I’m a little out of practice, but you will hard pressed to find anyone who can work a menu like me. Contact me for a tutorial!

Ordinarilly, I would not pass up Famous Pork myself, but I read a review of the place that said their ribs and pulled pork had lost some of it’s quality over the years (too dry), such that he couldn’t recommend it. But he said the portobello was worth the trip, and I can’t say I disagree.

Next time I venture out there, I will try out the pork and post it with lurid description for the vicarious thrills of all pork lovers.
