Review: My Easter Ham

Well not the holiday we were looking for friends. I’m not sure where to start. I got a ham, I didn’t want a ham, I wanted a roast. I’ve always been a cattle > pig guy, except when it comes to the ladies. I’ll take the parking lot pig over the steer taking up square footage on the dance floor any day of the week and every other Saturday. Needless to say I’m spending this Easter / Transgender Day of Visibility alone. I’m down and out here folks. I’d tell you all the reasons I’m alone but 1) I’d be writing all day 2) You’d never read it all 3) I still haven’t recovered from my last relationship and 4) No one has introduced me to my dream blonde from Taqueria Comālli yet. Back to the food. I received the weekly flyer (or liar) from Grocery which claimed to have a special on Prime Rib. On this day of Transgender Day of Visibility I can tell you with utmost certainty I am a male and I got the parts to prove it. There was a time in 3rd grade I went to school dressed as a girl as a joke and I’ve never misgendered myself since. This was the old days and I learned the hard way on the recess yard. I deserved that beating. Neither here nor there. So I went to the grocery and they had no prime ribs left. Being a frequent shopper I qualified for a free ham. I didn’t want the ham but I also didn’t want the 225 lb heffer I had in the legends parking lot last night either. Sometimes you take what you can get. You improvise. We’ve all been there, myself more than others it seems but I’m not complaining. Just living the hand I been dealt. So I take the ham. I scored it, classic checkered cuts. I stuck some cloves in it, I poured some pineapple juice over it, sprinkle some brown sugar over it and in the oven it went. Low and slow is my MO. 225 degrees starting at 2:15am. We’ve made it. The time has come to carve this ham up. Is it good? Absolutely. Is it rib roast? Not even close. As I sit here and enjoy this ham and reminisce of my night last night I can see my future so clear. Ham sandwiches for days. If anyone wants to come over for a little ham, bring a few sides or my dream girl from Comalli and you’re in. If not don’t worry about this fallen soldier, I’ll be here crushing this ham battling kids on Madden for the rest of my time.

Happy Easter / Transgender Day of Visibility all!

Review: Taqueria Comālli

Friends, after the chipotle incident I decided to take your advice and head over to Taqueria Comalli and it did not disappoint.

First the food. It’s the best Mexican cuisine I’ve had in a long time. The restaurant is clean, you can get a glance into the kitchen which looks clean from what I could see, and the food is very flavorful. Presentation is extremely on point. This is what I expect in a highly regarded Mexican place. I went with “Da Big Papa” burrito per request of a follower on here. This monstrosity has it all. The steak, the beans, the rice, the sauces, it’s all in there seasoned to perfection and smothering your taste buds. Now some will argue it’s a bit pricey at $16 but this is a full Berks County portion or 4 meals everywhere else in the world. Trust me, this is enough for even the most dedicated Berks County buffet frequenter. I challenge any of those slobs signing up for the All You Can Eat specials to come finish a “Da Big Papa” and an appetizer. Impossible.

The guac. Where is this place getting their avocados? Definitely not America that’s for certain. Vivid green in color and so fresh they must be smuggling them into the country. If border patrol wasn’t a little overwhelmed I’d be demanding an investigation into this one. Let’s face it folks, avocados aren’t that good from Redners. I highly suspect they are coming across the border in those fentanyl containers.

Finally the service. I gotta be honest with you on this one, I have not the slightest clue on service here because the second I walked in I got lost in the blonde servers eyes. She doesn’t even have .0001% of Mexican in her but this girl is a 12 out of 10. She must be the owners wife and if she’s not then she must be his girlfriend and if she’s not then he deserves to be hung for smuggling the best avocados in the world and having the hottest server in Berks County that isn’t his wife. This girl coulda sold me the whole menu and I woulda tipped her twice the price of it all. CUSTOMER BEWARE, walking in this place you better be ready to get down on a knee for that one. We are talking unicorn status. I left wondering, why is she not in every piece of marketing this restaurant sends out? You have Miss America on staff and customers don’t even know it till they walk in and see that drop dead gorgeous smile. A big fail on maximizing opportunity with her but a very pleasant surprise when arriving.

Besides that, Taquiera Comalli to the Fn moon. Best Mexican place in Berks County, not even a close second exists in this buffet eating pig fest town. Long live 🇲🇽

Most of us know Plum Creek Farm as that little Home Depot shed on the side of 183 that struck pandemic gold. The Amish had no time for staying at home, there was ice cream to serve and a lunch menu to expand and here we are today with the biggest Barn in Berks. We all remember those days, everything was locked down and we were confined to our homes with families we never signed up to be around for 24 hours in a day. So we snuck out to the forbidden world, on our way to Plumb Creek for some lunch, ice cream, and Amish people who refused to play the mask games. For hundreds of years society looked at them as being different and for a few short years it was their time to look at us and judge.

This is all neither here nor there. Who cares how we got here but today you’re looking down the barrel of the best Rueben Sandwich in Berks County. I walked in and the nice Amish lady asked if I’d like to try the Rueben Special. I said what are we in New York? She said where’s that? I said did you steal this sandwich from my favorite Jewish Deli? She said what’s that? And this is why we don’t ask questions at Plumb Creek. It’s that Rueben sandwich that connects our worlds and that’s it. There is no common denominator here folks. But I just had to do it, I hit her with the test; what’s this sandwich made of? She snapped right back, Ezekiel brined our finest cut of brisket and I cooked it in my Dutch oven. Enough is enough, give me this damn sandwich already. Well they gave me that sandwich with fries and a fountain soda and I started hallucinating. Off to New York City my mind went. Friends, this sandwich rivals any New York Deli including Katz. I’m sorry but credit must be given where credit is due and credit is due at that barn on the hill off of route 183. The meat is tender, the coleslaw is crispy, and the dressing is made in house. The roll is buttered and fried. These need to be delivered to BCP immediately. This is on the short list of last meals when you get that life sentence. It’s that good. 9.4 out of 10 and the best Rueben in Berks. I dare you to challenge me with a better one! It doesn’t exist in Berks.

March 12th 2024 marks the end of an era for us Berks Countians. The Reading Motor Inn and all its tenants are finally being evicted after decades of underground shady activities that now exist everywhere else in Reading anyway. It all started here. Drugs, prostitution, criminal activity. The Reading Motor Inn paved the way and shaped Reading into what it is today. But in every cess pool there are positive takeaways. Countless proms, weddings, and Latino Amway pyramid schemes all happened right here. The Sunday brunches with the sausage that tasted like it was from last Sundays brunch. A quick glimpse of the famous checking in before a busy show at Al’s Diamond Cabaret. It all happened here at the Motor Inn.

It’s been said the roaches actually migrated from here to the city. Before we had Rats the size of Raccoons in the city, we had mice at the Motor Inn. Those mice spent years feeding on the prepped Sunday buffets and everything on them that was ingested and exploded into the over filled sewer system. It was the perfect recipe of never ending rat growth hormone. So every time you see another building crumble in the city and what looks like baby cattle running from the rubble, appreciate the fact that Rat has a strong bloodline dating back to the glory days of the Motor Inn.

What’s next might you wonder? What will replace our beloved Motor Inn? Well there’s always the double tree……

My friends I need some help. We are in dire straits over here and this is an issue that won’t be fixed overnight. Like many of you I’ve been a loyal chipotle customer at broadcasting since the beginning. We’ve spent the years at war with that parking lot over there just to get that burrito for lunch. We’ve all had to deal with that urge to nuke the company bathroom seconds upon arrival back to the office. You’re racing back to your cubical just before lunch is officially over and there’s Lumbergh standing there looking at his watch, just waiting to doc you for going over, but you’ve made it. He gives you an afternoon project and as he walks away you’re in agony waiting for him to turn the corner. As he leaves sight you’re in misery. Full blown meat sweats and the bathroom mind as well be miles away. You run for your life. Razor blades in your stomach, you’re deeply regretting the queso but you make it, barely. While exploding you say a prayer to the Mayan gods thanking them for sparing your life. You live for another burrito tomorrow.

We’ve all been here and it’s been worth the ride. It has been shared throughout our community many times, the place has progressively gotten far worse over the years. But you’ve tolerated it because Moes is only worse. Friends, we must draw the line. The bugs in the food have resurfaced. If I want extra protein, I’ll order the double meat. I never asked for some new fancy sliced steak and a side of roaches. Dead or alive, I don’t care about which has better nutritional value, I don’t want either. I’m finished with this place. I’ll be a happier person. My coworkers will be able to use the bathroom. No more meat sweat sprints. No more fried roaches. No more waiting in line out the door. My chipotle road has come to an end.

I need help moving on. Can you please recommend some more authentic Mexican places that are fast, convenient, easy to get in and out of, and don’t have me giving the janitor at the office a shift in a hazmat suit. Where do I turn?

Today the new Duck Donuts announced the first in line for their grand opening, tomorrow, would get free donuts for a year. They brought out Berks Counties finest. This guy right here is the very definition of resilience. Arriving the day before and establishing dominance at the front door, there is no stopping this man. We know this guy, he’s one of us, our neighbor, our friend, our brother. A true Berks Countian through and through. He’s the guy who goes up to the Chinese buffet for a 3rd time and the waitress has already brought the check. He’s not slowing down and he sure as hell ain’t stopping. He’s getting another round at that buffet, maybe two, and for certain an illegal box to go. He shows up to wing night at lunch time and stays till close. He comes to burger & beer night and orders for 3 but all the meals are for himself. He goes to the fairgrounds market 10 minutes before close on Saturday and is negotiating for everything everyone’s got left. Pure resilience.

Tonight he demonstrates dominance. It’s midnight and sure he has a tent and warmth but he’s elected to sit outside in frigid temps with some rain and sleet and give everyone who drives by the big thumbs up. A display of serious masculinity. He’s letting every Berks Countian know, he ain’t going no where. He thrives in these conditions. The tent is all a show, he won’t spend a minute in it. It’s there to tell people it’s a last resort but he’s only got 7 hours to go. Nothing is stopping this man. He can taste the warm donuts. He will be there for 3 meals and 5 snacks tomorrow, Sunday, all next week and for the next 52 weeks. With a smile on his face and 2 thumbs up. It’s game time and he’s in it to win it. There is no stopping this man, and good luck containing him. No one gets through that door except the owner at 7am and he better have this guys donuts hot and ready, he deserves it. It’s not good luck tonight, it’s congrats on your victory.
