Amici’s Roast Chicken

Posted on December 29, 2011 by Gabriel Mercado

Nearly everywhere I eat, I order the roast chicken if available. This is partly due to my diabetes, which disallows fatty and greasy foods, and partly because I've always felt roast chicken is a benchmark of whether the restaurant knows … Continue reading →

Knock off the hippy shit, strap on a helmet and start shooting.

Posted on September 16, 2008 by Gabriel Mercado

Hairspray

Posted on September 10, 2007 by Gabriel

If there's any type of movie I'd say that best reflects my idea of Hollywood, it's the big grand musical. Now I'm fairly aware that saying that sounds very gay, which I'm sure makes my homophobic girlfriend cringe. But hey, … Continue reading →
