More Crap About Clams

  1. On Sunday night, I went to Otto, Mario Batali's new pizzeria style place near Washington Square and had the delicious clam pizza. It was so good, that the lady next to me copied me, and the couple next to her copied her. So, basically I'm saying this: People copy me because I'm a totally awesome trend setter with amazing taste and style. Oh, and Otto is worth a visit. Even if Mario is friends with Michael Stipe from REM who is rumored to be a terrible tipper. Eat at the bar, order a bottle of wine and the clam pizza. It's a white pizza with tons of olive oil, Italian parsley, and a gorgeous mound of tender steamed baby clams in the shell on top.
  2. The Clam Box of Ipswich in Ipswich, MA has shuttered it's windows for the season (on December 16, 2006) but will reopen on February 15, 2007, so let's get ready to eat fried clams! Will the line be long in February? Yes. Is it worth the wait? Don't insult me; of course it is. Sure, there's a rivalry between "The Box" and the grand Woodman's of Essex, and who invented the fried clam first, but I'm partial to this little place. Be careful not to over order; I assure you, your eyes are bigger than your stomach. Here's the menu just so you can a jump on things.

The clams on the pizza are still in the shell? How odd.

clam box rules. it is a 5 minute drive from work and is also the reason why i have gained so much weight since moving home. clam box=drugs erin eats clam box, so erin is on drugs. if users are losers and losers are users. then i am a loser user.

The doc says I have to fix my cholesterol. This mainly means that I have to cut out clam chowder, the main staple in my diet when I am traveling, which is always. So sell your Legal Seafood stock-a downturn is coming.
