I don’t intentionally visit the ethnic eateries of People of Pallor to review their Huevos Rancheros. At least not lately. I’ve come to accept that there’s just a different palate for all us humans, based on factors such as history, geography, economics, culture, aspirations, convenience, yelp, brunch, lemmings, hunger, and plain ol’ stupidity.

The new place at the old K-Mart is terrible and the layout is poorly designed. The cafeteria they heavily promoted has already closed.

This one seems to be coded in plain language but hiding some other significance. I wonder what it means?

Found in Shit Alley, circa March 2016.

This isn’t actually a Huevos Rancheros review. Technically, this dish does not qualify. But as the referee of this shitty blog, I’m gonna let this one through. Maybe with a yellow card for faking it. But here it is – deal with it. Yer a grown up now.
