World's Best, World Famous, and Crazy, Mad Greeks

Saturday, November 29, 2014 1:30 PM

How come every pastrami joint is either World Famous or World's Best? How come every diner or burger joint owned by a Greek is either Crazy or Mad? Or both? From my experience, most of these pastrami joints are not only far from world famous, they ain't even city famous. World's best my ass. They could only hope to even compare to Louis Rich. One day, I hope to run into a restaurant that bills itself as City Famous or even just Neighborhood's Best. And maybe, just maybe, these Greeks will be calm and collective, even reflective. And have strippers.

Greeks have never been known for their modesty or to avoid exaggeration.

And most Chinese places are some combination of Lucky, Happy or #1.

Don't forget to tip your waiter on the way out. Try the veal. It's to die for.

I once took a tour of Coney Island with Cap'n Jimbo and his world famous Satanic parrot. Parrot was all "let's go get Crazy Nick's gyros" and I told it to shut up. Damn bird's eyes went all red and glowing and it said some nasty shit to me in Enochian. Kept me up for days 'cos I didn't want Cap'n Jimbo's parrot to drag me to HELL!
