(Gangster Warning) What cha know about that? #FFF

in #fff5 years ago (edited)

Ive been eating at this place before i was born. It was established in 1948. Thats a long damn time.

You know how it survived?

It had a simple menu, it had simple ingredients, and an addicting Fresh Baked Cuban Sweet Roll made fresh daily.

This is the other part of town for me but i havent had a Russos in a long damn time. Part of my healing journey is to step outside the "comfort zone". Time for a drive. This was a perfect opportunity. Many memories sparked.

" 2 Large Russos & a large diet coke please. Yes, ill take the mayo/oil/red peppers pls. Oh, and can i also get the Russos Card pls?"

Deep Purple- Smoke on the Water

Sort:  

Duuuude!!! I love places like that. They stick to a rather simple menu and perfect it!!! Comfort zone... that almost looks like some type of “comfort food”. HAHAHAHA. Great contender my Food Fightin’ Friend!!

Comfort food for sure dude. Every bite full of goodness. Yeah Russo is still alive and kicking and some of the employees still work there for over 50 years. Mon-Fri 9 to 5. Which is rare around here for restaurants. Thanks Splatz 😜

That sandwich actually looks delicious and you know how I am. I really enjoyed this entry, @weirdheadaches, your ‘outside the comfort zone’ seemed to even make its way to this contender—right on! Happy Friday, chef!

I could be way off considering I only have black/white text to form an opinion but according to what I just read—seems like you’re in a pretty good mood. 👍🏿

Underneath all the pooh, im always in a good mood. Thanks @dandays. Black n white can seemingly have the power to emit energy, sometimes lol. Pretty cool stuff. Peace Homie. Russos is in the same category as crack. If you ever get the chance, maybe just chomp one bite, chew it real good and spit it out lol. ✌🏿

@weirdheadaches,
Your Food Fight Friday Contender has been entered into Round 38.
May your contender make it out alive and not be placed in a permanent food coma!

Good Luck

Dang, I just said outloud to Dandays “where is weirdheadaches”. He said “what do you mean? He’s around. He just put up a great food fight Friday”. I said “damn, I totally missed it” and jumped right over to check it out. I’ll take the large veggies please. A good sandwich is always on my list of yummy lunches. Those red pepper flakes look like something is eat too. Haha… literally eating the sun. Happy food fight my friend. It’s good to see ya!

Buenos dias senorita, gracias 😊. Youd be hooked im telling ya, so addicting. Im pretty sure they get all there veggies from local grown farms also tehe. Hope everything going well on yalls end 😊, chow.

Nice Spanish mi amigo!! Haha… you know I’m all about the fresh veggies :).

¿Cómo va tu español?

How goes your Spanish? Mi espanol Es muy bueno y muy mal 🤓. We get to practice here a lot so that’s good. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Lol, yay for practice. I think i am going to start practicing more myself. It ties into my neuroplasticity crap i'm doing. I understand alot of it but have trouble w knowing all the words and writing.

Practice practice practice. I’ll speak Spanish with you anyway. Although I’m not that great yet but whatevs, at least we are practicing :)

Hey, @weirdheadaches.

So, I see the order said 'two large Russo's" but only included one large diet coke. Am I too assume correctly then, that these two large Russo's were consumed by you and you alone on the day in question? :)

Actually, they kind of look like two halves of one whole. Is that right?

Whatever. They look awesome. Freshly baked bread is the best. It looks good, and now I'm hungry with no Russo's around. I have been thinking about Subway for most of the week, so maybe I should just go there, since there really isn't any other kind of subs around.

I'm still trying to figure out what's gangster about this post, and while I really like "Smoke on the Water" I'm trying to figure out the tie in there, too. It's a mystery, man! :)

Mystery, i tend to do that. Good eye Grandpa. Russo's all by itself is gangster. That part of town is gangster. Driving there remided me of my ol gangster. Taking that first bite was gangster.

I ordered 2 cuz i knew they wouldn't go to waste. I bought one for my wife but she already ate lunch. So, i had the first one to myself for dinner. Next, a half the following day for lunch. And Finally, the last half as a midnight snack while watching a movie. These things are so addicting. They also last a good time wo getting soggy (its the way they wrap the veggies in the meat n there bread, oh man that bread). We actually take a car load about 12 hrs north at least once a year. Retires miss it, plus we get to bring back some killer BBQ. Smoke on the water' was the vibe for the feast. Thanks for stopping by @glenalbrethsen and again good eye Grandpa.
