Brenda's French Soul Food
Okay, so you may have caught onto a theme if you have been reading since the last post: we am now now including worldwide culinary excellence into Stuffmelikey. So that brings me to Brenda's, only the tastiest french soul food I have ever had for breakfast. Yes, I understand that is a very specific complement, but I am not one for superlatives (really?).
Anyway, this breakfast was excellent. And again, I am writing about food I ate roughly two years ago, so that kind of tells you how important a place Brenda's occupies in my life. I don't even remember what I ate for breakfast (I'm lying... cereal).
Important note: This place is in San Fransisco, and there is an infinite line, so I would probably call someone you know who lives there to put your name on the clipboard outside before you book your flight.
**I forgot to mention, you should eat the beignet stuffed with crawfish - I realize that sounds a bit like eating steak with ice cream, but you should really just do everything the internet asks you to do without asking questions.
Washtenaw Dairy
Best ice cream I have ever had. In my life. Hands down. And I'm not even into ice cream. It all kind of just tastes good, but this stuff was spectacular. And I went there 3 years ago. Once. And I am writing about it now. So yeah, um... it was pretty good.
Moose tracks, by the way. That was the flavor. PS. This place is in Ann Arbor, MI. So good luck with that.
Hey, it's not my job to make the good stuff feasible and easy to get - I just tell you about them.

PS22 Chorus
As mentioned previously, these kids sing the chorus in the Passion Pit song "Little Secrets." They are now all over the joint, and more famous than even I was at that age, but check them out anyway.
Go here for the bio and go here if you want to see them in action (I warn you: the room you are in may get a little dusty during viewing...).
Passion Pit
I like these guys. They're Emerson/Cambridge/Boston-ie dudes, with this weird, catchy electro-pop sound. I had heard "Sleepyhead" on some Palm commercials and dug it, but then I found "Little Secrets" and fell in love. Primarily because of the backing vocals. Which are apparently school children from public school PS22 on Staten Island. More to follow...
Hannibal Buress
This guy is my new favorite comedian no one has ever heard of except for people who care about comedians. I happened to watch a few minutes of one of John Oliver's New York Stand-up Thingies, and I loved this guy. Unfortunately, I could not remember his name, so for about a week, I just went around telling people I really liked this comic, but I could not remember his jokes after only one viewing, and I could not describe him apart from using the terms "unremarkable little black dude," and I did not want to appear racist or superficial to my story listeners, so the story kind of fell apart quickly and was generally followed by a fairly long silence.
But I have since found his name, so I'm good now. Check him out: Hannibal Buress.
Why are you still here? I said go!
