“May I have the… king burger and a side of the Parmesan truffle fries please?” This food truck was your favorite in the city, it just so happened to be parked right outside of your job, and definitely served up some spicy creole flavors. It had gumbo and jambalaya by the cup, a burger that shouldn’t work as an ode to kings bread but it did and fresh beignets straight from the fryer if you had a sweet tooth.

“Would you like something to drink?” The men who worked it were just a plus, the two of them both terribly handsome, the one currently taking your order was smooth. Impossibly smooth. The gap in his front teeth was incredibly endearing, but the wedding band on his finger and the sweet tone he usually used with you led to you believe his marriage was a happy one.

“We’ve got the Big Shot Pineapple back in,” A sweaty bottle placed on the ledge, “I know that’s your favorite.” And you did love some pineapple soda, but you’d been trying to eat healthier, and ignoring the fact that you were ordering a burger and fries you fought yourself for a moment on whether or not this soda would be too much.

“Stop pressuring her, Sam.” The man behind him joked, “She’ll get the soda if she wants it.” A smirk on his lips. Your heart skipped a beat. It was no secret to your coworker behind you, Nat, that you had a crush on Bucky Barnes. His strong jaw and bright blue eyes, that tight bun on the back of his head and his fucking biceps. Those strong arms that were wrapped in colorful tattoos. You’d sat near the food truck every Friday since it’d started parking here two months ago and watched him work.

The kind smile he’d give people, the funny remarks as he cooked their food. The sweat dripping down his face as he lifted the lid off the pot of jambalaya to spoon out a portion. You’d drool over whatever you’d ordered that day watching him work.

“You should ask him out,” Nat popped a fry into her mouth. “He likes you.” You rolled your eyes, taking a sip of the cheap pineapple soda that was just so fucking good.

“He’s nice to me because I tip well,” You wiped your fingers on a napkin, watching him powder beignets and hand them to a sweet little boy, icing sugar still on his fingers. You sighed, looking down at your burger. “Maybe once I lose some weight.” The burger was half eaten as you stare at it with despair. You had been doing so well today, but the sign on the side of the truck said they were only making it the week of Mardi Gras so they wouldn’t have it next week so you HAD TO get it.

It was a very good reason.

“What’s wrong with you right now?” The red headed goddess asked, being someone who hadn’t been a pound overweight her entire life. You rolled your eyes, “No seriously, you’re the same person whether you’re overweight or not. And I can tell when someone likes you and he likes you.”

“I know I’m the same person,” You took another sip of soda, “I’m just….” How do you say it? “Guys have to be into my body type, I guess. I can’t just go out and approach anyone for a date.” You popped a fry in your mouth, “They have to like fat girls.”

“I hate when you say that.” Nat shook her head.

“Say what?” You licked the parmesan truffle flavoring off your finger.

“Fat.” You laughed, rolling your eyes.

“Doesn’t mean I’m ugly.” You took a glance over at the subject of the conversation, Sam must have said something funny to him because he was laughing. That head thrown back, grab your belly laugh. Fuck he was so hot. His eyes met yours across the pavilion. And he winked. He fucking winked.

“Just go ask him.” Nat stole another fry. “He always gives you extra fries, he practically pays for your lunch,” There was always something they ‘forgot’ to charge you for after they swiped your card.

“No big deal.” Sam would say, he would elbow his buddy, “It’s on the house.” It happened more often than would be normal.

“I’m just saying, instead of thirsting over him, at least go give him your number.” Maybe next week. This week you’d spilled some juice from your burger all over your blouse.

“Next week.” You agreed, “New week I’ll give him my number.”

You’d been on track with your diet all week, the salads, protein smoothies, healthy snacks. That way, you reasoned, on Friday when the ‘Connect Nola’ food truck parked on the pavillion you’d be able to treat yourself with something good.

And something better than good.

He was wearing a black t-shirt today, his hair in a high bun on his head, strands framing his face. A clear plastic poked out of the back of his shirt on what looked like fresh ink he’d gotten since last time you’d seen him. The special was a boneless fried chicken breast and red pepper jam on a biscuit.

“That’s what you should get.” Bucky said from his place over the flat top. Two fryers working hard next to him. “It’s my recipe, so it’s good.”

“As opposed to mine?” Sam smacked his friend, scooting himself around him to pluck the pineapple soda from the cooler. Bucky laughed.

“I’ve got some fried green tomatoes for you too if you want them.” He winked. Your mouth watered.

“You’re going to kill me.” You sighed, “Of course I want them.” Bucky smirked,

“Good cause they’re almost done.” He was stirring some kind of sauce in a metal bowl that after he placed the four thick slices of fried tomato in the paper container he poured over top. The two paper containers were placed on the counter, pineapple soda sweating next to them. You pulled out your card, flipping it between your fingers when Bucky stepped in front of Sam to hand you your food.

“How much do I owe you?” Your voice was breathy, heart racing at the sight of him so close. He leaned over the side, crossing his arms on the counter.

“Dinner, tonight maybe?” A charming smile, almost bashful. Your heart skipped a beat.

“I was going to ask you out.” You laughed. His smile widened.

“Well now you don’t have to… so?” His number had already been scribbled on the take out container next to him. “I’ll see you later.” Nat elbowed you to respond.

“Yeah… yes!” You took the warm containers from him, his fingers brushing yours. “Yes, later. Okay.” You bumped into Nat as you stepped backwards. “Bye.”

He smirked in response, “Bye.”

“I have nothing to wear.” You groaned over the phone. Nat laughed from the other side,

“What about that black dress with the flowers?” The one you’d bought from the flea market in the summer. “Wear that.”

The doorbell rang and your heart dropped. “Fuck, he’s here. Hold on.” You quickly shifted through your closet finding the dress she was talking about. “Just a minute!” You called to the man behind the door. “I’m so fucking disorganized.” You said to your friend on the phone, “Where are those heels?”

“The black ones with the thick strap? They’re under your bed. You kicked them off when we got back from brunch last week. I’m sure.” She was right. The dress was soon slipped over your head, heels buckled. “Use protection, be safe, and if you need anything call me.” Your face flushed with the thought.

“Hey,” You panted, opening the door. Bucky stood on the other side, nice slacks and a dark blue button down. “Sorry, I was just…” You gestured behind yourself, catching your breath.

“It’s okay,” He laughed, “I uhh…” He raised a brown paper bag he’d been holding. “I figured I’d cook you dinner, if that’s okay?” So you put on the shoes for nothing, he laughed, “I’m sorry, but yeah, you put on the shoes for nothing.”

“Shit,” You covered your face with your hand, not realizing you’d said it out loud, “Sorry.”

“You’re fine,” Bucky lowered the bag, “Can I come in?” You stepped to the side,

“Of course, I’m sorry.” Being an adult you’ve taken a lot of time perfecting your living space enough that you didn’t need to go out if you didn’t want to. You were fairly proud of your home, the apartment you’d spent the last couple years in slowly collecting items to finally make it yours. From the soft velvety throw down to the little knick knacks that didn’t make it too minimalistic.

“You’ve got a really nice place here,” He put the bag down on the kitchen counter, he pulled out a bottle of wine and what looked like the ingredients to, “Grilled cheese,” He shrugged sheepishly, “You can always tell a good chef by his grilled cheese. I hope you don’t mind.”

“Not at all,” You dug through the silverware drawer, pulling out the wine key. “I love grilled cheese.” Two stemless glasses joined you on the counter as you poured the red wine, Bucky opening two different cabinets before finding your pans.

“We’ve got to get you better pans than this.” He joked, waving your cheap Walmart nonstick pan in the air.

“That pan does exactly what I need it to do,” You laughed, “Sit and gather dust.” He rolled his eyes, quickly rinsing the pan out and drying it. You took a sip of your wine as he started.

“Have you always wanted to be a chef?” You asked, stealing a piece of cheese off the cutting board. It was a sharp cheese, tangy on your tongue. He cut another slice. Three different cheeses he had for this sandwich. Along with sun dried tomatoes and a slab of uncut bacon.

“My Ma was a really good cook,” He begins, “When I was a kid I would always be in the kitchen with her, cooking and baking.” A thick bar of chocolate, eggs and other baking ingredients had been set off to the side for later. A dessert he was going to make that he said would be a surprise.

“Cooking has always been love for me. It’s a good way to bring people together and a good way to show someone you love them.” His fingers stopped slicing the cheese, looking up at you through his lashes he backtracks, “Not that I love you, not that I don’t care about you because I care about you, but I don’t love you, but not like—“

“I get it.” You laughed, taking another sip of wine, the red in his cheeks in a full flush. He took a steady sip of wine,

“Have you always wanted to work for Stark?” The cheese was set aside, the thick crust bread sliced, he lay the slab of bacon on the cutting board, working your knife that he’d very expertly sharpened, down the slab, cutting thick slices.

“Not always,” You mused, “I kind of just fell into this job. My roommate from college, Natasha, had done an internship there during our last year and I originally wanted to go to graduate school, but I haven’t quite decided if I wanted to stick with my major or not, so she helped me get a job just doing clerical work and overtime I’ve just worked my way up a bit. Now I run my own department. So I guess I’m not going anywhere.” He nodded, laying the thick pieces of bacon on a baking sheet, the oven already preheated.

“What did you want to do?” He asked, placing the bacon in the oven. You sighed,

“It’s dumb,” He turned to you with an incredulous look,

“Try me.” He started making a batter for the dessert.

“I wanted to be a writer.” You shrugged, “Like books.” You gestured to the small library you’d collected for yourself. Stacks of books in your living room next to the shelves of books on your walls. “I have drafts of things, but nothing serious.”

“You should pursue that.” He poured batter into two medium size ramekins he’d brought himself, tapping the bottom against the counter. “You seem like you’d be an amazing writer.”

You scoffed, rolling your eyes. “Not good enough.” To tell the truth you’d sent out a couple chapters to some publishers and had nothing but rejection letters, you’d all but given up on it.

He told you more about his family, his sisters, how his parents were still very much in love. “Sam and I with our buddy Steve had all enlisted at the same time.” He flipped the grilled cheese revealing a perfectly crisped brown bread. “Steve decided to have a military career so he’s working in DC right now, Sam and I decided to own our own restaurant, right now we’re going the food truck thing until we have enough to buy our spot in the city, then hopefully we will have the truck and the home store.”

The grilled cheese was fragrant, the three cheeses melted together on a spread of the sun dried tomatoes, thick cut bacon in between. He took his chefs knife and cut the sandwiches down the middle, plating them with ease. “This is so fucking good.” You moaned, the first bite, the crunch, the cheese, the tang from the tomatoes, the bacon perfectly cooked and melty in the middle. Bucky smirked at you from across the table, finishing off his first half.

“I’m honestly surprised you asked me out.” You popped a piece of crust that had fallen onto the side of the plate. Bucky looked at you confused.

“Why do you say that?” Fuck it was the wine, making you feel a little shitty. You were a little drunk to be fair.

“You’re just…. You.” You gestured towards him, “So fit and handsome and like… I don’t know.” Bucky shook his head.

“You’re gorgeous,” He scoffed, “You’re literally the whole reason we even started coming to the pavilion every week. I don’t want to hear that shit.” You sat back in your chair watching him take another sip of his wine, stunned. “Guys really fuck me up because someone probably treated you like you needed to be a certain way to be loved and it’s just not true. I’m attracted to you, you’re kind and funny and smart.” He wiped his fingers on his napkin, “Doesn’t matter to me either way.” Your weight. Didn’t matter. “I like you.”

His eyes were intense and sent a shiver down your spine. “I’m sorry.” You said quietly, “I didn’t mean to—”

“You didn’t.” His hand gently grasped yours, pulling it up to his lips. “I just wanted you to know I like you, no matter what.” Okay. Okay. He leaned in, shifting in his chair to lay an arm over the back of yours, taking the hand he held and placing it on his cheek he softly pressed his lips to yours.

Your lips parted and met again. And again. And the timer went off on the counter. His phone shrill and loud letting you know dessert was done. “Hold please.” He whispered against your lips. You felt cold when he removed himself from you, puttering around in the kitchen you heard the stove being turned off and he returned a moment later. “Careful they’re hot.” Two perfect chocolate molten cakes, icing sugar and white chocolate sauce drizzled on top.

“Thank you for tonight.” The two of you stood in front of your open door, his shoes had been slipped back on, hair no longer in a messy bun it hung loose around his shoulders. You were sure it had been your fingers that had worked it loose, but you couldn’t be sure.

The hot and intense make-out session you’d just had on your couch, tongues mixing and tasting of chocolate. Heavy breaths and soft moans melding together, and just the appropriate amount of wandering hands.

“No,” He said, twirling a strand of your hair around his fingers, “Thank you.” A breath away he pressed his lips to yours again, slowly. Savoring it. “Breakfast tomorrow?” He breathed, resting his forehead against yours in your doorway. You grinned, running a hand down his arm,

“Same place?” He grinned before taking your lips once more,

“It’s a date.”

“Pit of Peril”

Summery:

An enormous cockroach was sent into the Vietnam Jungles for testing. The thing was operated by Lindon B. Johnson at the time. It fell into a fiery ditch, turned into an Ox. It was Saturday.

There were some men who had been roped into the Vietnam Cockroach Testing Center, they got burned when they saw the coughing gas that had been deployed by the cockroach. They witnessed their own US military being slaughtered by the enormous LBJ Cockroach, and reported what they saw as “Mummy’s Coughing Gas in Hell”. The men who were roped in, were brave men.

youtube

Some people came, to help get the LBJ Cockroach out of that Saturday Ox Ditch of Hell.

They grabbed it by the leg, tried to use Electro Magnets, to slide the enormous beast up the side of the land in the ditch.

There were some big lips, doing a lot of talking, the lips were in the way, so, they undermined, then blew the lips off. They were getting in the way of the land slide cockroach Oxditch raising of the beast.

Inside that Oxditch, was a burning inferno of what used to be US Military, some people had seen it there, burning, there was a Mummy just out of range, out of view, but everyone knew the Mummy was there, and those brave men who were roped into that fiery Pit of Peril, were repulsed by what they had learned about the Mummy of Coughing Gas that they Saw.

================================

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarcophagus

================================

That’s what happened in the Thunderbird’s 2 Pit of Peril episode.

In real life, some years later, the cable did snap, all of them snapped, not just one, the electromagnets came loose. They were not able to get the LBJ Cockroach slid up the side of land in the Oxditch, so, the LBJ Cockroach simply crawled beneath some rocks at a Pyramid in a faraway place, quietly existing while others remained on the surface doing Ox Work on Saturday’s.

Do the math.

Richard Nixon was set-up, framed, pressured by the Mummy of Coughing Gas when he Saw it too.

Just change the values, to change the Fractal. Small changes produce small changes, large changes, change everything.

The Russian Mother of all Hoaxes is adjustable. Even the invisible Time Warp Components are adjustable.

Small factoid:

1971 Southern California, the paratroopers came from the sky in tandom by the thousands. they landed, folded up their parachutes, and began to use the swords they were armed with immediately at the traffic lights, where they just stood at the cross-walk, waiting for a red light so the cars would stop. They used their swords to capture and kill the driver, and they disappeared into the San Fernando Valley. The paratrooper event had begun, was carried out, and was completed without a trace within about less than one hour.

The air-raid sirens wailed for two weeks, no help came to San Fernando Valley.

Later, there were carnivals at the shopping center parking lots. The paratroopers has already found homes, had blended in, used the carnivals as bait to lure victims of all ages. They called it “The Midway”, and if you knew that they called it “The Midway”, you could survive at the Carnival at the parking lot, by blending in with the terrorist paratroopers who had already become established by then.

The paratroopers came from above three times that I can recall, over a couple of years time, in installments.

no one believed the school students who saw the paratroopers land near the school in tandem, two per parachute, by the thousands, from a hundred airplanes within a short time.

But, that is what happened.

IMDB.com: The Exorcist 1973:

Have you ever done exercise calisthenics?

Four Count Burpies?

Six Count Burpies?

Eight Count Burpies”

I don’t think there are ten count ones.

The Russian Mother Hoax Fractal enlists exorcise calisthenics, makes small fractal adjustment, to create exorcism, a different kind of Burpie, one done with services on Sunday Mass.

Hoax. The Father of the Hoax is Christianity. The Mother is Russian.

The two procreate. They lie together.

The Hoax, is their child.

There is no place called Russia. There are Rubes.

Some say a Rube is an unsophisticated County Bumpkin.

There is a contest at the county fair every year to see who can grow the biggest Pumpkin.

Conclusion about Country Bumpkin is, they are FOOLS! The Carny’s at the Midway say the Fool’s are Rube’s.

Take the Fractal Viewer along with Mrs. Russia Christian Hoax of Lies, over to the corner of Hollywood & Vine, at about 12:01 am, any day of the week, to learn more about fools, counting, and pumpkins.

(”Speed Bump” shows up on decoder ring RADAR)

(So does Kindling and nitrous gas)

=====================================

In the Thunderbird’s episodes, have a look at the way US and other Conventional Military Personnel and Equipment is portrayed as “old tech”, or “sub standard”, or “obsolete” or other words that can be used to say that it’s all out dated, while “International Rescue” has tech that is “decades ahead of it’s time”, is so top secret that a photo of it will get you killed by a London Agent with Grill Mounted Machine Gun. It’s all secret, however, everyone seems to know to call on International Rescue when the shit goes sideways.

“Mysterious Secrets of Common Knowledge” = Church

Look at the colors of the different crafts in Pit of Peril episode. There is OD Green Army Helicopter, that one uses old tech, has rotor blades to make it fly.

There is a Red & Yellow ambulance craft. That one takes the Injured Braves away.

Traffic lights and blades are part of the message.

Injured Braves.

At a traffic light.

There are Blades on the OD Green.

Instruction from High Command at Vatican John Paul II HQ:

“Just wait at the traffic light, the cars will stop when the light turns red. When they do that, get in, use sword, take prisoner back to where they live. Interrogate prisoner, gain personal information, we will be putting the LBJ Cockroach back into service as you are doing that work. Remove prisoner, follow leads.

Lady Penelope London Agent will provide update in the next episode of Thunderbird’s Perils of Penelope as we work out the bugs in the plan.”

----------

This small scene from the previous Thunderbird’s episode is interesting, some models on a map table shows military target practice nearby. A plan is developing. It’s more than you see in the story lines presented, way bigger, for mature audiences.

-------------

The timing is not right for that explanation about the colors of the crafts and the eye-witness to what I saw and lived through, and traffic lights. The episode aired in 1965. The Southern California aerial attack happened in 1971. It’s possible that I did not see that 1965 paratrooper attack, I did see the 1971 and other installments of the invasion into California.

Maybe the 1965 Pit of Peril (Valley of Death) is like the sketch of that Asian Drum Dancer in Father’s Office, where it becomes a full size statue of the sketch later on, after more art work is done in three dimensions, bases on the two-dimensional sketch.

A plan in development, one that in 1965 was more about getting LBJ back into the White House in 1968 election, with emphasis on developing a plan for the physical attack to begin afterwords.

The plan was delayed. LBJ was not re-elected.

Richard Nixon was elected, fouled up the Pope Paul Plan. He turned off the Giant Cockroach Machine at Vietnam before he left. He is the last American Hero, got screwed in the end, like they all do.

Pope found ways to make Nixon go away, like the Mertz’s, I always wanted them to just go home, let Lucy do her thing, she is entertaining.

Then, they get this Ball roling:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerald_Ford

Is not about Ford, he is only the vehicle that drives the real operative who is riding in the backseat.

This fucking guy right here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson_Rockefeller

That guy went in, came out, like a Double Double at the In-n-Out Burger... fast, filling, cheap & easy. Real Quick. Wolf Blitzer style, as the wire guided missal is directed into the window of the baby milk factory, Blitzer does the Play-by-Play like a football game color announcer, live, as it happened, right in front of everyone on TV.

The Pope was back on track at that time.

===============================

Rumor:

Pope John Paul II is said to have fathered many thousands of children, one of which is Ivanka Trump. The Pope’s children are said to have been specially trained for Global Domination, and include professions of all kinds, from doctors, to guitar players, to special assassins, and everything in between. Thousands of children.

I am told that photo is a depiction of something called “The Beatitude”.

Features Paul II.

Some surfboards.

White Silk, maybe White Satin is better.

Dead Man nailed to some wood.

(fast forward, small tid-bit: Southern California Surfers are presented with Morey Boogie, and Churchill Swim Fins)

1964 is New York World’s Fair, the Unisphere is unveiled.

British Invasion, The Beatles show up, they get into everything, like Thing One, and Thing Two, from Cat in the Hat, where some of the weirdest plumbing can be seen in a cartoon.

Meet the Beetles: Released on 7-20-1964.

That’s two 360′s for you old skaters and surfers out there.

narration version:

youtube

There are some Mandela Effect Versions that are called “With The Beatles”.

Idunno what to say about Mandella Beatles.

I cannot find a YouTube presentation of the Original Pressing being played to share right here.... you know what that means, right?

It means that Meet the Beetles is a slippery slope that when you step in all of that leaky British Oil, will only lead to the Gorge of Eternal Peril... or worse.

This seems safe enough:

Lady Bird Beetle:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coccinellidae

Asian Lady Bird Beetle:

Agent Lady Bird Johnson [code name Lady Bird Taylor; (Tailor) (Uniform Seamstress)]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Bird_Johnson

I think it’s possible to get from Lady Bird Johnson Taylor to Cherubs of Sistine Chapel, somehow, in the Russian Mother Hoax Fractal. I don’t know how, is not important.

======================

Fat Babies shows up on Decoder Ring RADAR,

Pumpkins at the fairgrounds.

(There must be a glitch in the Way-Back Machine, some kind of hold-up)

Worlds Fair, 1964 again.

Unisphere:

What could be said about that Unisphere?

The continents all have representation. All are present.

The oceans are a framework.

The world has some holes in it.

There are fountains of support.

It very, very big, judging by the size of those small people there at the bottom.

It has satellites orbiting.

Some places seem to have more detail than other places do, need to have a closer look to find out.

Looks like a nice place where it’s at, trees, blue sky, some artwork, a pond is there... the pond has some division looking areas, have to have a closer look to find out what that is.

What else?

The timing is difficult to see, but, the Unisphere exists in time.

======================

Classic Starts Collection:

The “Last of the Mohican’s” is the same terror message as is “Oliver North”.

“More He Cans”: Canadian Gas Wielding Terror Soldiers Who Last... “bring bigger rectally holstered gas tanks and more men”.

Oliver North: “Send All of the Queen’s North.... from Canada”

This Oliver part leads back to the Giant Cockroach in Vietnam, also, at the same time, leads to Mike Pompeo at US State doing Iranian Terror Rental Service, in the future, where terror is done, with details that make Iran the handy Bad-Guy to blame for everything. While also serving as commands to send more Canadian terror soldiers to USA for Global Domination work, AKA: Slaughter the US Citizens, while SAG puts on a show, and GCHQ MI-6 SIS at Vauxhall Bridge makes Election Arrangements to support Ronald Reagan and his tribe of SAG. (R. Reagan was President of SAG before he was President of USA.)

Oliver North is a sophisticated fellow character in the Russian Mother or all Hoaxes.

Hmmmmm....

======================================================== everything below this plimsoll is for demonstration purposes only, it’s just a example of how terror comm works, to try to help you learn to read it, see it, think about it, decipher it, get in front of it, stop the terror take-over.

6:50 pm:

Advanced Decoder Ring settings gets weird.

Apply “Olive the Above” filters.

Upside Outlet Brain Wash Conditioning Cute Face Terror Comm can happen.

Some pieces parts:

Peaches.

Upside Down, Capsize, Pope’s Pointy Hat, Cat in the Hat.... (it gets weird)

With conditioning from Ibuprofen Union (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, IBEW, people don‘t know which way is up.

Cans become peaches.

It’s a girl can w/peaches.

The men become women.

The can becomes a peach, it used to be the can was the ass.

now, the can is the jug.

The jug holds the nitrous gas. It’s in the can.

The boat is upside down, is capsized. It’s a girl, because of the boat.

Where did the boat come from... ?

The terrorists are pirates, there is always a boat, by default, you can toss a boat into almost any terror comm.

Eddie Murphy shows up on Decoder Ring Radar, says everyone is throwing pussy at him.

Donald Trump is not far behind Eddie. Grabbing at what was tossed to Eddie.

I don’t have a conclusion for this, that is the point of the Pope’s Pointy Hat... this connection of dots could go on eternally... and all of the above (Olive the Above) serves as Fodder for communication about Vatican terror, it’s all within the chalice, the Holy Grail that is the English Language Terror Weapon.

Although that is difficult to follow, it can be followed, and that is why it works so good to advance Global George Terror... Geo, Geography, Georgia, ... Google Maps. It all leads to Sodomy, the quest for dirt, land, earth, High Ground.

Electrical Graphic Engineer from SAG Advertising in somewhere around 1950 needs to make Random Graphic for Reel-to-Reel tape machine, Fast Forward.

It’s Donald Trump following Eddie Murphy too close, fast forward.

“There is no pussy here, I thought you said it was live Jerkmate from Pornhub nuns”

not exactly.

no!

not that either. Trump is trying to stay busy while riding around other peoples coat tails, so, things with terror comm get a glitch sometimes, have to start over.

Melania.... after the live Pornub nun Jerkmate show, while Donny is chasing after Eddie Murphy’s leftovers. Time Warp Fast Forward applied heavy to previous rewind repeat fractal adjustment, ...

We could watch The Grinch Stole Christmas, or, Afro Whores hotel checkout scene from Rat Race, and wind up in the same place in the fractal Mother Hoax of terror comm from there.

Back to the Hotel: “White Wrap Race” (small fractal adjustment cuts Murphy’s crew out of the game. For the comm. Reality is not far behind.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVtRyrOaoZA

They all have Junk in the Trunk, get refilled at the Hotel:

Start over..... Go find back up singers.

Just have to come up with a workable Russian Lie.... Record Producer Hat:

“You ladies are just exactly what we are looking for to be on our next hit single”

This part is real. Things heat up in the ocean currents when lies are told about record producing and the liars have Junk in the Trunk.

That graphic came from US Department of Energy at Twitter from Rick Perry Secretary of DoE.

Rename the chart: “Power Shift Chart” or “Shift in Power Chart”.

See on the left that the power is measured in Joules.

“Enormous Power Shift Chart”

It’s disguised with Pirate interests of ocean temperatures.

The top line tells you where the information is coming from, from the “Upper 2000″. That means 2000 years AD. It comes from Vatican High Command, appears to be a training tool for young pirates.

It covers a span of about 55 years.

First thing you see is that there is some red information, and some blue information. The Blue information is over powered by the red information in around 1996 or so.

There is a period of neutrality there. A Zero mark at the “Mean“ where blue gave way to red as time progressed.

We see there are some green information, they say that is “95% Error Margin“. Happens every ten years it looks like, means “Blue Team Fucked Up Big Time”.

95% Fucked Up. (see back up singers above)

There is “Monthly Mean, on the Down Low” (menstruation. Men turned to women, they bled. Monthly.

We see some small words “Annual Mean” happens twice, that is mentioned over top of Blue Team Information, and is below Red Team Information. Looks to me like Red Team is Mean.

There is mysterious information on the bottom right, says: “Baseline 1981 -2010″ in some foggy looking lettering there.

Here is what we need to do with that foggy mystery, it’s from the Pope, it’s Hokus Pokus, so, apply “No VA” (No US Veteran’s Administration Anymore, it’s Enormous Power on the High See’s of Temperature Reading” so, we have to push it, “no-va, won’t go, have to push it” filter is a applied to the Hokus Pokus from Pope.

Where?

It goes over to 1981... push the Zero to 1981... over to the left about 15 years or so. That makes the 2010 part go to the 1996 part, where the Zero used to be.

Why?

Because the Pope said so, that’s why, also, he needs to show when the Mean Power Shift happened.

It happened the same day when Ronald Reagan became US President. That is what is important about 1981.

So, step the fuck back, make assessment:

In 1981, there were some Blue people pretty much in charge, going along doing blue things. Then, Big Red See Monster came along, has Joules, Big Fucking Balls, kills all of the US Veterans Administration Personnel. It happened in the ocean it says, so, that means the whole US Navy got screwed by the Big Red See Monster, came out of no where, while on the Blue Team (VA) it was nothing but Er. Maybe was ER, Emergency Room with 95% Fuck Up Rate of Progression over time. Part of the reason that there was so much Back Up Singers going on, looks like Time Warp Pope Hokus Pokus of 15 years is what caused the problems for Blue Team. Red Team is only showing very small amounts of 95% Error ten year intervals information, I think those are casualties. Blue Team shows many casualties, while Red Team shows only few. I think there are two kinds of people on each team being shown here, maybe Green information is commander level people on each team, while Blue and Red are the actual Team, the workers, the soldiers, whatever you need to label them.

They are all Military on the Blue Team is how it looks to me. Are all gone.

The Green information is more Hokus Pokus from the Pope. Is not very clear, might be some false reading there on the “Enormous Power Shift Chart”.

Ten means dead. Those green Error markers are Whisker Graph Style information, maybe a Wilkinson‘s Decoder is necessary to know more about Green Information of Error. A Razor. A Blade. A Shave at the Barber. Maybe is Prophet Margin.

Rick Perry: Secretary of DoE chart reading from around January 19, 2019 (1-19-2019) is the day I saved that, and did the reading at Twitter initially.

End Chart Read: 9:08 pm.

9:15 pm: Additional: IBEW Ibuprofen Union Power guys use special tools. For remodel work on a Power Distribution Circuit Breaker Access Box, when you need to get some wires into the box and there are no holes available to use, you need to make a hole in the box per safety regulation standards. There is only one way to do that. You need a “Green-Lee Punch“ for that.

I think the Green information every ten years could have a installation of a Beard into the Circuit Breaker Main Panel at DoE, then, the Beards get shaved, to clean up the installation, remove the burs from the edge of the hole so insulation won’t scrape off, cause short circuit. Or something like that. Green-Lee Punch also goes over to Hawaiian Punch areas of Russian Mother Hoax, 5-O is over there. The prostitutes come out to the corner in 5 inch glass heals at 5:00 pm every day right across the street from the police station on Waikiki Beach.

The Ocean Current Temperature is Tempura Shrimp, deep fried goodness at Pearl Harbor, for consideration of the chart, comes with “5-O Different Sauce” and some change. Obama is in the Chart too.

More: There are Joules (Jewels) and Hawaii is showing up in the chart, so, Diamond Head needs to go in there. There will be some Virgins when that happens, they go into the Volcano, for the reading to be complete.

That means this also goes into the read somehow:

Thunderbird’s Pit of Peril shows up on Decoder Ring Radar. Start Over....

Cultural Appropriation is Problematic.

“As you grow older, you’ll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don’t you forget it - whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, he is trash.”- Harper Lee author of “To kill a mockingbird”.

This is an important quote on bringing to the topic of cultural appropriation. What Harper Lee is saying in this quote is this: When white people steal things from people of color no matter where they’re coming from, they should be held accountable for their actions. Not giving up as for what they’re doing even though it’s better than doing the same thing a black person it’s doing we will call them black person ghetto or ugly or ratchet for doing the same things that a white person is mimicking. Have you ever seen a black person when they hear that bro you know how their hair normally grows out of their head what do you usually call them I’m not personally you but people you know call Nappy Headed monkey that’s how ugly they called there was certainly not pretty right?

But if a white person tries to hairstyle by twisting their hair grilling it up and clean it up it’s edgy it’s cool it’s cute on them. Do you know how many black people during the 1970s and 1980’s lost their jobs, homes, business, etc. for wearing their natural hair while in the same breath a white person gains off of their misery? This right here is what cultural appropriation is. Let’s talk about it.

If you didn’t already know from the long intro, Cultural appropriation is the adoption or use of elements of one culture by members of another culture(source - Wikipedia).

Cultural appropriation isn’t just one white people wearing cornrows or white people wearing bantu knots a star that has been worn by African-Americans for centuries and change your name completely discredit the people who actually rock this style longer than they did and turn it into their own thing(i.e Marc Jacobs), what is also when you have football teams trying to prove The Stereotype of Native Americans even knowing that white ancestors committing a mass genocide on Native Americans and kicked them out of their Homeland.

The reason why cultural appropriation is a bad thing is because one you’re perpetuating a stereotype about certain minorities 2 you’re stealing something that’s not yours + 3 you’re benefiting off of people’s misfortune because there have been many cases of black people being discriminated against because of their hair texture but in the same breath and white person is trying to mimic that hair texture, Latinas or Native Americans or Indians or Asians any culture that is considered a person of color that you’re taking their culture away from and trying to benefit off of it as if it’s your own culture that’s cultural appropriation and that’s why it’s a bad thing.

Now that you know why it’s a bad thing and you know what cultural appropriation is examples of cultural appropriation and how it negatively affects a community let’s talk about how we can solve the problem. One way is by first of all I can only assume that this isn’t your culture that this is not the culture of your own but this is a call from Native Americans or Indians or middle eastern people this isn’t your culture.

You can appreciate the culture and you can show your support by enlightening yourself on other cultures and educating other people on the culture not much picking and choosing the stereotypes of certain cultures and perpetuating The Stereotype throughout the media. There have been many cases of white people knowingly appropriate in some ways culture and one being called out for it not admitting that they’re wrong the first step is admitting that there is a problem with cultural appropriation. Once we can meet halfway and recognize the problem at hand then we can start building from there but until white people acknowledge the fact that they have control over the media and they have control over how things work in the United States of America we’ll never get anywhere.

So if there’s one thing you can take from this entire article it’s that not all white people are bad but the ones that are bad need to be held accountable for and the white people who see what’s going on and know that this is bad I need to speak up about it and put a stop to it and fight side-by-side with us.

Ambitious chefs are taking the once-humble sandwich into new heights of tastiness. Here are 10 sandwiches across America we love the most.

he Pivot: How Chef Omar Tate Is Shifting Gears During the Pandemic

1. Spicy Korean Pork Sandwich

Heirloom Market BBQ, Atlanta, GA

What’s in it: Pork butt is rubbed down with a spicy mix of gochugaru, gochujang, chili sauce, and sriracha, smoked slowly over hickory and oak, then cubed and packed into a soft potato bun and dressed with kimchi slaw and kimchi pickles.

Why we love it: Heirloom’s owners, married couple Cody Taylor and Jiyeon Lee, meld different barbecue traditions (his: American; hers: Korean) into a spicy, smoky sandwich that’s greater than the sum of its parts. The pickles and slaw add the refreshing texture and crunch familiar to anyone who’s had a Southern pulled-pork sandwich, while the Asian elements bring unexpected layers of heat and funk.

2. Wednesday Special Green Chile Tuna Melt

Chula Seafood, Scottsdale, AZ

What’s in it: Olive oil confit of albacore tuna, Oaxaca cheese, charred Hatch green chiles, and a highly herbaceous chimichurri on thick-cut, panini-pressed bread from Phoenix’s beloved Noble Bread bakery.

Why we love it: The Anywhere, USA diner staple gets a smoky, spicy Southwestern makeover with the the addition of local green chiles and Mexican cheese. More important: Because Chula’s owners also run a commercial fishing operation, the tuna is fresh-caught, never canned—with a texture that seems to melt into the cheese, providing a pillowy counterpoint for the toasted bread.

Clockwise from top left: The PFD, Nasty Chicken Biscuit, Papas y Masa Torta, and Cauliflower Shawarma Batbout Peden + Munk

3. The PFD

Angelo’s Pizzeria, Philadelphia, PA

What’s in it: Crispy from-scratch chicken cutlets, flash-fried artichokes, prosciutto, arugula pesto, mozzarella, and balsamic on house-baked sesame-seeded Italian bread so crunchy you can hear it.

Why we love it: South Philly gets plenty of attention for its cheesesteaks and roast pork, but 2020 is the year of the cutlet sandwich, and nobody in town does them better than Danny DiGiampietro, who named this flavor juggernaut for local food blogger Philly Food Dude, one of his earliest supporters. Talk about Brotherly Love.

The Pivot: How Chef Timon Balloo Is Shifting Gears During the Pandemic

4. Nasty Chicken Biscuit

Miller’s Downtown, Charlottesville, VA

What’s in it: Fried chicken tenders that are actually juicy inside, sharp white cheddar, and a mess of peppery sausage gravy poorly contained by a crumbly buttermilk cathead biscuit.

Why we love it: Inspired by another beloved chicken biscuit (the Big Nasty of dearly departed Hominy Grill in Charleston, S.C.), Miller’s tribute improves upon the OG. Credit the use of chicken tenders, rather than a single breast, which provides surface area for breading, as well as a shattering crunch that holds up under the gravy.

5. Smoked Brisket Banh Mi

Gjusta, Los Angeles, CA

What’s in it: Smoked brisket, pickled daikon, carrot, and cucumber, fresh cilantro, chili sauce, and garlic aioli on a crusty house-baked baguette.

Why we love it: The banh mi is one of the world’s great sandwiches and Gjusta is one of the world’s great bakeries. While brisket is an unusual protein for the Vietnamese hoagie, the meat’s smoky richness of the usual sweet pickled vegetables and cilantro. And then there is the bread—sturdy and crusty with a sourdough tang that elevates the ingredients inside.

The Pivot: How Chef Robbie Felice Is Shifting Gears During the Pandemic

6. Ćevapi

Balkan Treat Box, St. Louis, MO

What’s in it: Chewy house-baked somun, a Bosnian flatbread, is folded around nearly a dozen grilled skinny beef sausages nestled in onions and dressed with a healthy smear of kajmak, a rich, Eastern European dairy product sort of like sour cream.

Why we love it: St. Louis is home to a large Bosnian community, but locals of all backgrounds swear by this Balkan staple. The spiced meat, sharp onions, and tangy kajmak offer a dynamic flavor contrast, but the somun is the star, with a chewy-crispy texture that’s hard to resist.

Clockwise from top left: Smoked Brisket Banh Mi, Ćevapi, Overnight Duck Confit Panini, and Pork & Peppers Peden + Munk

7. Cauliflower Shawarma Batbout

Saffron De Twah, Detroit, MI

What’s in it: Spice-rubbed, battered, and fried cauliflower herb-greened tahini, cucumber-tomato salad, and sumac onions are stuffed inside a pan-fried (not baked) Moroccan pita.

Why we love it: This overflowing pita pocket is a textural powerhouse—with boldly spiced cauliflower that manages to be crispy on the outside and tender inside, the crunch of fresh vegetables, and the smooth and nutty tahini all jostling against lightly crisped, chewy bread. Trust us: You’ve never bit into a shawarma quite like this.

These Addicting Yuca Recipes Will Be on Rotation All Summer Long

8. Papas y Masa Torta

Güero, Portland, OR

What’s in it: A seared-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside puck of mashed potatoes and masa; caramelized tomatoes with a sweet-and-sour tamarind lacquer; avocado; red onion; cilantro; queso botanero; and chile-lime mayo on a toasted talera roll.

Why we love it: In a world of lab-grown bean burgers, it’s refreshing to find a veggie patty that’s legit delicious. The masa-and-potato pillow is a vehicle for the parade of crunchy, fatty textures and sweet, sour, and umami flavors that make the torta a fascinating spin on the Mexican street staple.

9. Pork & Peppers

Turkey and the Wolf, New Orleans, LA

What’s in it: Pork shoulder slowly cooked with habaneros and oranges, crispy fried and shredded pig ear, “shrettuce” (chef-owner Mason Hereford’s nickname for shredded iceberg), and onions piled on warm roti bread smeared with citrus mayo. Side of habanero vinegar for extra kick.

Why we love it: Yeah, we know: It looks like a tostada. But in our view, an open-face sandwich is still a sandwich. And while you debate amongst yourselves, we’ll be happy to dig into Hereford’s Indo-Caribbean ode to the pig, which is unlike any other pork sandwich out there.

10. Overnight Duck Confit Panini

Duckfat, Portland, ME

What’s in it: Duck legs, slowly cooked overnight in their own fat, are shredded, piled with a tangy grilled Napa cabbage slaw, pickled jalapeños, and spicy mayo, and then panini pressed on Sorella’s Bakehouse bread.

Why we love it: In a word: texture. We’re talking crunchy bread, crispy cabbage, slick mayo, soft and succulent duck. Duckfat’s been doing a version of the sandwich—the accoutrements change seasonally—since 2005, and the attention to construction shows. Take a bite and the crackle of the bread yields to the impossibly rich meat.

#polesurf #seinfeld #honkinghorn "...we have a guy looking in to it..." https://youtu.be/WTbNtO0hZsk This coupe de'tat from the red governments in the world coming to an "end" - "but" I'lll write about the three ruling sins, the "leaders" of a very lame "world government"... It was the swedish socialist and the russian communist and the kurdish pergamesh (a rebel of an Iranian herritage)... in a very "fiery" Sauna. The russian communist were alone (N) and that made him join the other two in this awful "chilliness" that had come over the Nordic region... ...and the socialist who "fired up" this old Sauna was feeling "ill" and wanted to "befriend" some others so he invited a few guests... ...just to join a "barbie-que" evening, "with the guys", he who thought of illminded things went for a winning recipe (W) he should have himself a "wife". The pergamesh (an Iranian rebel leader) kurd come from the south to join the "hot evening" and neither of the three were men from the west (or "väst" as the socialist pronounced it)... ...which made the whole "grilling" part in the Sauna a bit "-od", especially as they hadn't enough finnish scars (the "r's" in eng) to meet as real "finnish-ed" men do... But they wanted to "look in" to what a so called "woman" really do... and what they feel and so on. This Her-od "grilling"-party was a little bit weak when it came to the questioning inbetween "the guys" - they didn't say much to eachother, cause the invitation itself, said nothing about "guys only"... ...or anything about a "contest" of how long all the invited could stay "locked in" and together "feel the heat". As long as the "loud music" or the drummer with his drumset were "playing" it was pretty "cool" - otherwise the few "men" thought things were boring... a quite evening with nothing to "do". All three "chose away" rule of LAW this evening, fired up old "wood" from before - but otherwise there were not much to "do"... ...to take away "law" is a major misstake for one of the more successful NWO-dreamworlds and to take over the whole wide world... ...without law and at the same time call themselves: "Men from the west!" is not so much in either "leather west"-material (a chest area)... ...or hair enough on the "upper body" (a mat/rug) to ask about the "girl" in mind... the three mostly listen to "feminine music" and lay down to dream about fantasies that both have happened and some ideas that never had appeared before. To make it warmer for the group of men that attended the "honk" of a horn was used - they had a swedish socialist that know something about illegal firepowers... ...that is to put "balls on a stick" and make these over-ego "lingonberries" red as the rest of his body is. So... what is a "stick" the swedish socialist asked himself? A kebab-staf? A spear or a pole for a flag? These things the three was thinking about... what really "fire up" my little balls? The two from communist and south hadn't read children stories... ...but some social skills in the socialist made him think of princess stories + really bad things they could (but were warned not to) "do" to make this red color he had in mind... even worse. In the top bedroom of the highest tower in the highest castle there is a very sharped rooftop - and to put your balls there... would really be a world time of history record of creating "balls of fire"... ...cause that castle is God's helmet (with it's horns) and also a "sharped thing" on TOP of a spider, which is a PIECE of a HUGE "spinning wheel" for a godess - on the super natural level or plane. To set yourself "on top" of a spider with a "unique horn" (She-Lob) in a lord of all rings was the worst the socialist could "bring up" to make himself the one who solely could play on the Devil's organ - within a living man of God. That far has the "men" come to "look in" what a so called "woman" really is - they "honk" that horn, and take an "over-ego position" on man of God, still today. There's a vengeance on "doing" that special or unique "horn" of an old spinning veal/wheel - all (realistic) princesses was in the sagas for them seriously warned on that "topic". There must be some problem, some "modern needs" in this world if Jeremy "Nailing" (in Pearl Jams song "Jeremy") sits on that top, still today? A Jesus-figure with a "hammer shaft"... initiating PAIN to others, as being a Marque de Sad himself? Has he no humour at all - or is the shame to great to imagine? Or is the WALK (of shame) down here too long with such a short hair? Don't start up a sauna if you can't "fade the heat" afterwards... Pearl Jam - Jeremy: https://youtu.be/MS91knuzoOA - - - Where I was sitting, a car parked. During his "back up", into a lot - not far from me - he "honked his horn" to warn the (halted) traffic behind himself. That is supposed to be "the man looking in" to what a "woman" is - and it's not nice to sit close to that "happening", the "honking" (that repeat itself constantly in this Hell) is supposed to scare/irritate you. Some minute later a woman jumped into the car and the couple "drove off" - what they later did (including that man who "looked in" to things...) - that's still hidden for the public eye... and real men don't really 'want' to know this. The whole process is said to "create agony" though... and as a cartoon (bugs) bunny would've put it... ...that's all folks!

My New Orleans Dining Guide

Updated as of: 4/5/17

Caveat: This is far from a complete list of the best restaurants in New Orleans. This is nowhere close to the complete list of New Orleans restaurants I’ve visited. However, this is my list of the New Orleans restaurants I’ve enjoyed the most, with the exception of a couple of places locals don’t want to be discussed publicly. (You’ll have to get those names out of me at knifepoint.) There are several notable places I’ve visited that for one reason or another, I didn’t completely love at the time (Bayona, K-Paul’s, G.W. Finn’s, Muriel’s, Antoine’s, Elizabeth’s, etc.), and it’s important to recognize the broad array of opinions when it comes to dining in New Orleans. Your opinion can easily be swayed by ordering the wrong dish, the amount of rest you’ve had before dining, a server/host rubbing you the wrong way, an annoying dining companion, a broken air conditioner (it’s happened to me), etc. Additionally, it’s important to realize your food is being cooked and served by human beings, and human beings occasionally make mistakes, especially when they’re tired. While New Orleans restaurants tend to be very professional establishments with high standards for cooking and service, even the most elite places can occasionally buckle under the intense pressure of serving a seemingly endless stream of customers during a major event like Jazz Fest. I make no guarantees or bold claims here, aside from the fact that I’ve had at least one very enjoyable meal at each of these restaurants. Your mileage may vary.

Note: Listed neighborhoods may not be perfect, depending on who you talk to, but they are in the general vicinity.

*UPSCALE*

If you can, make a lunch reservation at Commander's Palace. It's an unbelievable experience at an absurdly low price at lunch. (You will pay through the nose at dinner.) The menu is constantly changing, but there are lots of prix-fixe lunchtime options, and martinis are only 25 cents! (It’s a three martini max per person.) I love Commander’s because the food is amazing, the service is excellent, but despite its surroundings, the vibe is really fun. Ask to be seated in the garden room with décor that is dated but glorious. It’s loud and boisterous. Men need to wear a jacket, although I believe this policy is slightly relaxed at lunch. Regardless, just suck it up and wear a jacket, bro. This is my favorite restaurant in the world. http://www.commanderspalace.com/ (GARDEN DISTRICT)

Commander's Palace and August are often considered the top two restaurants in New Orleans. August is great in a very different way. It's quite refined, a true "white tablecloth" establishment. While Commander's is also a white tablecloth place, they have a truly festive vibe that is a real 180 from the quiet and reserved August. August does a nice, seasonal $26.00 three-course lunch on Fridays, but reservations can be tough to come by. http://www.restaurantaugust.com/ (WAREHOUSE DISTRICT)

Peche - If you like seafood, go here. On paper, the menu doesn't look all that impressive, but if you love fresh seafood, it'll blow you away. After a couple of years, this is still one of the more popular restaurants in the city and a James Beard Award winner. You can have either lunch or dinner here, and some of the dishes (especially the whole grilled fish with salsa verde) are served family style. Regardless, the smaller plates are quite good for a smaller party. Definitely listen to the waiter's suggestions. When I was there, he recommended some raw Alabama oysters that were shockingly phenomenal. Note that this restaurant has ridden a wave of hype, which has naturally provoked many haters, particularly bitter locals. Such is life. I still love it. http://www.pecherestaurant.com/ (WAREHOUSE DISTRICT)

Toups’ Meatery - Very creative cooking here with lots of interesting dishes for the true carnivore. If you want things like house-made sausage, cracklins, or charcuterie, this is your place, but there are plenty of other good options on the menu, as well as solid cocktails. Ask for the off-menu beet martini. The chef/owner was on Top Chef, which is apparently very important to tourists. http://toupsmeatery.com/ (MID CITY)

Emeril's - It's somewhat cliché to recommend a place with a celebrity chef who is rarely in the house. However, when I went here a couple of years ago, Emeril's was outstanding. While I used to really love Emeril's Delmonico, and I had a great meal at his Nola last May, I think his original restaurant is still the best of his lot. I love the stellar andouille-crusted drum. They're also known for their unique preparation of Barbecue Shrimp. http://emerilsrestaurants.com/emerils-new-orleans (WAREHOUSE DISTRICT)

Upperline - This is one of my favorites. It's a little bit of a 1980s relic, but it still packs a serious punch. Upperline invented things like fried green tomatoes with shrimp remoulade, and they excel in Creole classics. They also offer a lot of sampler platters, and they're very flexible on substitutions. The vegetarian greens will have you swearing they used bacon, and the duck (with both sauces) is the best duck I've ever had. When I write this email for people, I usually tell them to order the duck five or six times, but I will spare you the lecture. Order the duck. This owner/hostess is a quirky woman whose whims often dictate the course of the menu with interesting specials. Every square inch of the place is adorned in art, which is both tacky and spectacular, or spectackyular. It's a unique place for a great meal. P.S. Order the duck. http://www.upperline.com/ (UPTOWN)

Brigtsen's - After having people recommend it for years, I finally took the plunge and visited. Amazing. Vibe is the key here. I've never experienced a meal quite like this. It looks and feels like you're eating a gourmet meal in someone's house. The hostess is the chef's wife, and she and the waitstaff just make you feel so damn comfortable. Eating in New Orleans is all about the experience and vibe, and you will find none better than Brigtsen's. This is not the place to go for a quick bite. This is a restaurant for kicking back to relax and enjoy a meal with friends. Don't get me wrong-- the food is also phenomenal. The duck is amazing, and the seafood platter is awesome and huge. You'll need to take a 45 minute streetcar ride or a 15-20 minute cab ride to get there from the Quarter. If you're going to see music on Oak Street at either the wine bar or The Maple Leaf, you won't be too far away. https://www.brigtsens.com/ (RIVERBEND)

Carrolton Market - Looking for an under-the-radar gem in the Riverbend? Look no further. Located around the corner from Brigtsen's, when I visited this bistro a couple of weeks ago, every dish was a winner, yet it was oddly empty inside. Recommended items: Oysters Goodenough, Crispy Pork Belly "Banh Mi," and Roasted Duck Breast. If you want to drool, look at the photos on the site. http://carrolltonmarket.com/ (RIVERBEND)

Palace Café - This seafood-centric restaurant on Canal Street is enormous and offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It’s not quite as pricey as its brethren, but the atmosphere is noisy. The crabmeat cheesecake is amazing. http://www.palacecafe.com/ (FRENCH QUARTER)

*MID-PRICE*

MoPho - Kick-ass Asian-meets-New Orleans cuisine! I love this place, and I’m dying to return. I can’t even tell you what to order. Everything I’ve tried has been so damn good. http://mophonola.com/ (MID CITY)

Lüke - John Besh's ode to Alsatian cuisine. They offer these "express meals" that are a tremendous bargain for lunch. You can find some great German/French dishes here like cassoulet and flammenkuchen, as well as Louisiana classics like Cochon de Lait or Shrimp Etouffee. They also serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. http://www.lukeneworleans.com/ (CBD)

Cochon Butcher - Everyone raves about its big brother restaurant, the adjacent Cochon. However, I think Cochon is hit-or-miss, while Cochon Butcher is hit after hit after hit. This is just a great, unorthodox sandwich shop, butcher shop, and bar. I highly recommend the bacon pralines. (Buy them as souvenirs for anyone whom you want to love you forever.) Pretty much anything with pork is a solid bet here. Le Pig Mac is a play on the Big Mac, but it's made with pork, and it's friggin’ delicious. I also love the Buckboard Bacon Melt, Muffaletta, Marinated Brussels Sprouts, Duck Pastrami Sliders, Hot Boudin...Hell, I’d eat anything on the menu. I’d also probably eat the actual menu. http://www.cochonbutcher.com/new-orleans (WAREHOUSE DISTRICT)

Jacques-Imo's - It’s a perfect place to eat if you're hitting a show at the Maple Leaf next door. The food is boisterous and over-the-top (Alligator cheesecake, anyone?), but it's really tasty. The vibe is like a raucous, chaotic party. This is not a fine dining experience, although it's more like what would happen if a really good chef got drunk and decided to throw a big bash. You'll need to take a 45 minute streetcar ride or a 15-20 minute cab ride to get there from the The Quarter. (Addendum: This restaurant is woefully inconsistent. Sometimes, the food is excellent, and other times, it's under-seasoned and not noteworthy. The service is generally terrible, which seems to be a perverse point of pride. Even though I have friends who've really enjoyed their recent meals here, my last one was not good, so I'm going to wait a while before returning.) http://jacques-imos.com/ (RIVERBEND)

Three Muses - a small tapas and cocktail bar on Frenchmen with free live music. You can catch some great solos, duets, and trios here from really talented musicians. The small plates are very tasty, and the cocktails are quite good. This place is usually packed with little flexibility, so try to get your reservation in advance, especially if you hope to visit during Jazz Fest. http://www.3musesnola.com/ (MARIGNY)

Boucherie - Prices have gone up since it first opened, but it’s still very affordable, and the food is excellent. This is the story of a guy who served killer food from a truck outside Tipitina’s and did so well that he was able to open his own restaurant. Take my advice and be sure to order Grit Fries, Thai Chili Chocolate Chess Pie, and Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding. http://boucherie-nola.com (RIVERBEND)

Atchafalaya - I’ve only been here for brunch, but it was an outstanding brunch. This may be the only restaurant I know of that serves brunch Thursday through Monday. They’re open for dinner 7 days a week, as well, serving “slightly elevated Southern cuisine.” The make your own Bloody Mary Bar is a thing of beauty. http://www.atchafalayarestaurant.com (IRISH CHANNEL)

This is a nice afternoon small plate doubleheader on Poydras and Canal:

Drago's - They have a big seafood menu, but everyone gets one thing: charbroiled oysters. Broiled with garlic, parmesan, lemon, and butter, this super rich dish is often considered the best bite in New Orleans. Just split a dozen with someone (or order a half-dozen by yourself) and avoid everything else because you'll follow this up with a ten-minute walk into the Quarter to... http://www.dragosrestaurant.com/

Red Fish Grill - There are two things you must order here: Buffalo-BBQ fried oysters with blue cheese and double chocolate bread pudding. There are other good items on the menu, but those two are a must. You won't need a reservation at either place and can usually walk in any time. http://www.redfishgrill.com/

*CHEAPER/DIVES*

Coop's - It’s a classic dive with notable fried chicken, but you need to know that they serve the best Jambalaya you'll ever try. I ate here on my first trip, and I try to return every time I'm in town. Must order dishes: Jambalaya Supreme, Lamb Ribs, Green Beans with Bacon sauce. (Yes, you read that correctly.) Smoked Duck Quesadillas and Shrimp Creole are also good, but you must order the previous three dishes at a minimum. I will share dishes here, but I will not share my jambalaya. It's that good. This is a true dive. It is not what you or I would call “clean.” This place can be a haven for unsavory characters of both the two-legged and four-legged variety. (True story: I once ate here and saw the amazing Boobzilla lift a chair by only using her breasts, as the entire bar was treated to tequila shots for her birthday. It’s that kind of place. Leave your kids and nuns at home.) However, everyone I’ve brought here has been blown away by the food. Also, if you like the way your face looks, adhere to the “Please Wait To Be Seated” sign, or they will tear your face off. If you don’t like the way your face looks, have fun. http://www.coopsplace.net/ (FRENCH QUARTER)

Café DuMonde - If this is your first visit to New Orleans, you’ll want to go to this famous 24 hour place that pretty much only serves beignets, orange juice, and coffee. The beignets are pillows of fried dough that are buried under a mountain of powdered sugar. Everyone has eaten here while drunk at least once. Cafe Beignet in City Park does a better job of everything Cafe DuMonde does, but Cafe DuMonde has the ideal location. http://www.cafedumonde.com/ (FRENCH QUARTER)

Buffa’s - a very old restaurant on Esplanade, very close to Frenchmen Street. The front bar is open 24 hours, and the restaurant in the back is usually open late. If they have the potato chip-crusted gulf fish on special, get it. It’s damn good. They also have no-cover live music in the back, and I highly suggest you go here to see Tom McDermott and Aurora Nealand on Thursdays from 8-11. http://www.buffasrestaurant.com (MARIGNY)

Bacchanal - On a nice night, this popular outdoor Bywater winebar cannot be beat. However, expect it to be crowded and loud, as the secret is out. The wines are funky, interesting, and fairly cheap. The food is pretty good and the last time I was there, the prices were a steal. I had a steak with fries and whipped feta for something like $14. Helen Gillet plays here on Monday nights, and I love her solo cello work that can be jazzy, beautiful, or trippy. Unfortunately, it’s usually tough to hear he unless you’re up close. Plan on sharing a table with strangers. http://www.bacchanalwine.com (BYWATER)

Mahoney's - a new school po' boy joint on Magazine, not far from the Garden District. The menu is big and delicious, but po' boys are the focus. They've got the full roster of traditional po' boys, served in full (massive) and half (still friggin' big) sizes, as well as lots of modern creations and good cocktails. The award-winning Abita-braised short rib po' boy with onion straws, garlic mayo, arugala, and tomato is insanely rich. With every bite, I felt myself contracting gout. I can't wait to eat it again. http://mahonyspoboys.com/ (IRISH CHANNEL)

Domilese's - an OLD school po' boy joint Uptown. You'll need to get here by car. The sandwiches are huge and tasty. The beer selection is terrible, but it's cold. They close by 6:30PM M-F, 7:00PM on Saturday. Make sure they’re open before you make the trek. Don’t blame me if they’re closed. http://www.domilisespoboys.com/ (UPTOWN)

Killer Po' Boys - a new school po' boy joint in the Quarter. The sandwiches are small and delicious with high-end ingredients. They have two locations, but the original is in the back of the tiny Erin Rose Pub. http://www.killerpoboys.com/ (FRENCH QUARTER)

Tracey’s - It’s a pretty good sports bar, but the one thing to get here is the roast beef po’ boy, which is the best I’ve had in New Orleans. Don’t expect the red carpet treatment or great service. You’re in a New Orleans sports bar. It’s not Commander’s Palace. Remember that before you write your angry Yelp review. http://www.traceysnola.com/ (IRISH CHANNEL)

Crabby Jack’s - This is Jacques-Imo’s sister po’ boy-centric downscale restaurant. I’m of the opinion that po’ boys are the way to go here, and they’ve got some gems, served in massive sizes. I’m usually torn between the Slow Roasted Duck Po’ Boy, the Cochon de Lait Po’ Boy (the meat is tastier than what’s served on the Fairgrounds, although it doesn’t have the same delicious mustard sauce), or the Fried Green Tomato and Shrimp Remoulade Po’ Boy. The Gumbo is solid. Note that they’re only open for lunch and closed on Sundays. Also, they’re just at the edge of the city limits. For me, this is usually a stop on the way in from the airport. http://crabbyjacksnola.com/

Liuzza’s - You’ll recognize the one that’s across the street from Jazz Fest because of the mob scene around it. However, if you can get through the line, they make good Bloody Marys, and their BBQ shrimp po’ boy is very unique. If you really like black pepper, you’ll like it. The Mid City location has a better menu and more ambiance, along with ice-cold shitty beer. http://liuzzasnola.com/ (GENTILLY and MID CITY)

Dat Dog - Hit it on Frenchmen, Magazine, or Freret Uptown if you need a quick something before or between shows. Their sausages are solid, and choosing the chef's preparation is a wise move. I’m a fan of the fries smothered in crawfish etouffee. http://www.datdog.com/ (VARIOUS LOCATIONS)

The Store - I go here for one thing, the Fried Shrimp & Greens Po’ Boy, which is a fantastic sandwich. They’re only open for breakfast and lunch, closing at 2:30pm. Don’t go on the late side or you’ll risk them being sold out of collard greens. You do not want the sandwich without the greens. BTW, the greens are made with pork, as the Lord intended. http://thestoreneworleans.com (CBD)

Verti Marte - Are you drunk? Is it late at night and you want something to eat near the Esplanade side of the Quarter? This bizarre 24-hour deli is your place. Don’t expect the finest clientele at this time of night. Don’t expect gourmet food. Don’t expect anything involving logic. Certainly do not expect fast service. However, you can get a giant pile of booze-soaking food or a po’ boy to go. I’m partial to the Shrimp Philly (grilled shrimp, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, Swiss cheese, American cheese, and “Wow” sauce). Do you have heartburn already? https://www.zomato.com/new-orleans/verti-marte-new-orleans/menu (FRENCH QUARTER)

Bai Chi Canteen - cheap but delicious small plates of Vietnamese food in the Riverbend. Go for the "bacos," which are Vietnamese tacos. https://www.zomato.com/new-orleans/ba-chi-canteen-new-orleans/menu (RIVERBEND)

Kebab - no frills doner/falafel joint on St. Claude that also has good Belgian frites. I like to eat here, so I can pretend I'm having a healthy meal. The cocktails are cheap. http://www.kebabnola.com/ (ST. ROCH)

Hi-Ho Lounge - a St. Claude music club that usually has a cool, popup kitchen Fry And Pie in the back. They serve exactly what you think they serve, and everything is tremendous. http://www.fryandpie.com/ (ST. ROCH)

Cassamento's - head Uptown, not too far from the streetcar, for this mecca of fried seafood. The specialty is the "Oyster Loaf," which is a massive fried oyster sandwich, and instead of using traditionally sliced bread, they cut two enormous pieces from a butter-soaked loaf. They also do chargrilled oysters and serve fries with the chargrilled topping. (TOURO/UPTOWN)

Juan’s Flying Burrito - There are two locations for this Creole taqueria. Is it incredible Mexican food? No, but it’s pretty good, and the slight Nolafication of menu items adds another layer to the fun. Notably, you can actually have a healthy meal here, and there aren’t too many places where I can say that. http://www.juansflyingburrito.com/ (MID CITY and GARDEN DISTRICT)

*SNOWBALLS*

Hansen’s Sno-bliz - They’re the granddaddy of snowball places, as they invented the ice-shaving machine in 1939 and created their own syrups for it. Despite its advanced age, this old shack still innovates with funky flavors, such as Thai Basil or Fresh Cucumber, and they’ll get crazy with toppings, such as Bananas Foster or Pineapple Habanero Relish. I’m not an expert in Snowball technology, so I can’t explain why it’s better than Hawaiian shaved ice, but it is better than Hawaiian shaved ice. More importantly, it’s cold and perfect for a hot day. http://www.snobliz.com/ (UPTOWN)

Sno-LA - Here’s what you need to know. They stuff their snowballs with cheesecake. I really shouldn’t need to explain anything else. http://www.sno-la.com/sno-la-uptown-menu.html (RIVERBEND)

*COCKTAILS/WINE/BEER*

Bar Tonique - They’ve got a combination of vintage cocktails, as well as their own creations. In my experience, everything is mixed well by knowledgeable bartenders. More importantly, they have a few classic drinks that are only $5 at a daily happy hour that lasts until 5PM, as well as $5 daily specials. http://bartonique.com (FRENCH QUARTER)

Cane and Table - A recent discovery for me, this joint specializes in cocktails of the tropical persuasion, although you won’t find sugary margaritas and frozen daiquiris. It’s a bit more sophisticated. Some of these creations go down smooth and way, way too fast. Apparently, they also have solid food. I didn’t partake in any of that, which is probably why I spent my afternoon following around a half-naked woman painted like a minotaur. There are photos... http://caneandtablenola.com/ (FRENCH QUARTER)

Carousel Bar - Located inside the Hotel Monteleone, the old school, classy bar is actually a slowly rotating carousel. They often have great live music for no cover, and the drinks tend to be well made. This is an ideal spot for a classic cocktail, such as a Ramos Gin Fizz. http://hotelmonteleone.com/entertainment/carousel-bar (FRENCH QUARTER)

Orleans Grapevine - You’ll want to go here during their Bacon Happy Hour. (I will pause to let you read that again.) It’s from 4-6PM and 10PM-12AM, and they give you bacon with your drinks (I will pause to let you read that again), which may be the greatest concept since human rights. There are different wine and drink specials during happy hour, and if you order certain cocktails, you get to roll dice to determine the price. Land on 1, 2, or 3, and that’s what you pay. Make Drinking Fun Again! http://orleansgrapevine.com/ (FRENCH QUARTER)

The Avenue Pub - If you want to find the best beer selection in New Orleans, this is your place. Apparently, Boucherie’s chef has kicked up their food menu. The good news is that this pub is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week for 365 days a year. Finally, somewhere you can drink at 7am on Christmas morning! http://theavenuepub.com/ (GARDEN DISTRICT)

Nola Brewing Tap Room - You can find a lot more interesting examples and novel styles of their beer here than you will anywhere else. They’ve also got McClure’s BBQ in the house, although the Louisiana legislature may soon put an end to that. http://www.nolabrewing.com/ (IRISH CHANNEL)

Bacchanal - (see entry above)

Oak Street Wine Bar - The drinks are surprisingly inexpensive here, although the beer selection leaves much to be desired. The wine list is extensive. However, I really just like it because they often have live music, particularly at Jazz Fest. I like catching Andrew Duhon here. http://www.oaknola.com/ (RIVERBEND)

Bouree - The Boucherie people opened a wing, hot boudin, and daiquiri joint next door. I’ve not had the food, but I’ve become a huge fan of the Gin & Tonic Daiquiri. They have seasonal flavors, as well. http://www.bourreenola.com (RIVERBEND)

Happy Hour at John Besh restaurants - Most of the Besh restaurants offer some sort of ridiculous happy hour deal on both certain food items and certain drinks. I’ve been to some of these where I’ve been able to get drunk and stuffed for under $15. They don’t list the happy hour specials on their website, but if you call them, they’ll give you the 4-1-1. I do know that the happy hour at Domenica has become so popular that reservations are typically required. http://www.chefjohnbesh.com/restaurants/

*MOST OVER-HYPED RESTAURANTS*

1) Mother’s - It’s exciting when you’re a tourist because you feel like you’re doing something authentic. After a couple of years, you realize everyone in there is a tourist, and you’re all paying way too much for slightly-better-than-mediocre food. On my last visit, breakfast cost me nearly $40. Never again....at least not until I’m surrounded by hungry drunk people at 7am.

2) Parkway - But Obama ate here! So what? I’m gonna guess Obama didn’t exactly have his finger on the pulse of po’ boy culture. Look how thin he is. Never trust a thin man when it comes to po’ boys. Following lunch, if you don’t have to undo your belt, better yet, the button of your pants, I don’t want to hear your opinion on po’ boys. Your opinion should be limited to kale. Regardless, this place is not terrible, but it’s certainly not worth standing in a long line when there are so many better options in town. Go here if you need to do something in the neighborhood.

3) Cochon - Yes, there are some big hits on the menu, but there are also so many swings and misses. Years after opening, the hype train still chugs at an unbelievable pace for this place. Everyone has to go there because everyone has to go there because everyone has to go there. (Hint: You do not have to go there, but you do have to go to the vastly superior Cochon Butcher next door.)

*MY PERSONAL PO’ BOY RANKINGS*

1) Killer Po’ Boys - I can already hear grizzled New Orleanians ranting about how Brooklyn has ruined the po’ boy because New Orleanians blame everything that’s wrong with their city on Brooklyn. Good thing I’m from Queens.

2) Mahoney’s

3) Domilese’s

4) Crabby Jack’s

5) Tracey’s

13) Parkway

*MY TOP 5 PLACES I WANT TO TRY IN 2017*

1) Meril - http://emerilsrestaurants.com/meril

2) Rue 127 - https://www.rue127.com/

3) Turkey and the Wolf - http://www.turkeyandthewolf.com/

*SAGE ADVICE*

Tom Fitzmorris is an old-school food critic with deep knowledge of the New Orleans culinary tradition. His site, http://www.nomenu.com is a bible for me, and I consult it not only when I choose a restaurant among the 1,550 he’s covered in the greater New Orleans area, but I also am sure to consult his site before I order at said restaurant. Fitzmorris tells you exactly which dishes you need to order, greatly increasing your chances of enjoying the meal. Unfortunately, his site is a bit of a relic with a bevy of broken or hidden links, and it’s been undergoing a bit of a laborious rebuild that’s taken a couple of years with no end in sight. He used to post really helpful lists (there were over 100 of them in various categories), but they have now been removed. However, I’ve found some of the links, so here they are:

500 Best Dishes in New Orleans - https://nomenu.com/?page_id=42494

These Vintage Willys Flat Fenders Make in Excess of 1000 Horsepower Each!

Fast Flatties: Who said speed couldn’t look this cool?

In a world where slow and low are our chosen speed and gear, Matt Nappier and Justin Miller have taken their flatties on a different route. These two former military men are drag and Street Car Takeover event racers. Still lovers of old vintage Jeeps, they have also combined the desire and need for speed into these two truly one of a kind street machines.

You won’t see them crawling over the rocks or taking the Sunday drive down some scenic trail, but you will watch them smoke the tires and go screaming down the pavement at speeds you never imagined from something that once transported our soldiers through mud and muck on foreign soil.

LSX WILLYS

Justin Miller of Cumming, Georgia, has a ’52 CJ-3A known as the “LSX Willys.” The initial build took about four months. “It began as a joke with a friend,” Justin said. He has tweaked it to perfection over the past four years. The LSX is a YouTube favorite, but we got the chance to see it in action live, and trust us, it did not disappoint.

Stuffing this 1,600hp 427ci LS3 Dart engine into such a small space was a bit of a challenge. Add to that the F1A Procharger supercharger and the hood needed some modification. Dart Pro 1 heads, Edelbrock Vic Jr intake manifold, DeatschWerks 1,500cc fuel injection, two-stage nitrous system from Nitrous Outlet, Be Cool Radiator, Powermaster Alternator and starter, and Stainless Works headers round it out, and nearly every cubic centimeter of available space in the engine compartment has been claimed. Internal engine mods include a Custom Cam Motion camshaft, K-1 Technologies crankshaft and connecting rods, and Wiseco Performance 9.7:1 pistons.

From the custom ammo can shifter cover that houses the B&M shifter for the GM 4L80E automatic transmission to the Jakes transbrake, custom shift kit, and R&R Racing torque converter, the interior is a mix of old, new, and unique. The list goes on with custom ammo can speaker boxes, Kicker audio system, Auto Meter gauges, Corbeau racing bucket seats, Pyrotech harness system, OEM steering wheel, and a dash mounted fire extinguisher.

The rear axle is a Moser Engineering custom 9-inch with 3.50 gears, OEM leaf springs, and Moser sway bar and wheelie bar. We didn’t witness the frontend leaving the pavement but can attest to the fact there is more than enough power to make it happen. Up front is a Moser straight axle—there are no gears or transfer case in this little two-wheel-drive Jeep. Omix-ADA front leaf springs support the additional weight of the powerplant, and Wilwood disc brakes and QA1 double adjustable shocks are on all four corners.

A reproduction CJ-3A body from Omix-ADA had a few modifications. The fuel filler has been plated off, and a 15-gallon fuel cell from Summit Racing was added to the rear of the Willys. The grille was cut out for the intercooler system. WWII OD Green paint and custom graphics give it that vintage appearance. Larry Jeffers Race Cars provided the custom cage. Weld Racing RTS s71 wheels are wrapped with Mickey Thompson Street R tires, and the big fat 31×16.5×15 tires leave a wide patch of rubber off the line.

HARD FACTS:

Vehicle: ’52 Willys CJ-3A

Engine: Supercharged nitrous-injected 1,600hp 427ci LS3 Dart V-8

Transmission: GM 4L80E Automatic with Jakes transbrake

Axles & Suspension: Moser custom straight axle and Omix-ADA leaf springs (front); Moser custom 9-in with 3.50 gears, OEM leaf springs, Moser sway bar and wheelie bar (rear)

Wheels: Weld Racing RTS s71

Tires: Mickey Thompson Street R

Built For: To smoke the tires and run Street Car Takeover events nationwide.

ONE EYE WILLYS

Matt Nappier of House Springs, Missouri, is the proud owner of a ’48 CJ-2A known as “One Eye Willys.” Matt said he built One Eye to do “hood rat stuff with his race car buddies.” He is only a year into this build and there are a few additions and changes he plans to make. We like the old school appearance of this little Flattie.

Shoehorned under the hood is a turbocharged and nitrous-injected LS1 V-8. The 5.3L Chevy engine is, for the most part, stock, but there are a few items that ramp the horsepower up to the 1,000hp mark. The Turbonetics 82 mm mid-frame turbo paired with a Nitrous Express single-stage direct-port kit, DeatschWerks 1,500cc fuel injectors, and Vasko Speed and Performance Exhaust system forced the radiator to be rear-mounted, as there wasn’t any space remaining behind the grille.

The interior is more vintage than the engine compartment. The seats and steering wheel are replica Willys parts from Omix-ADA. The dash is little more “techy,” with a bit of that old fighter jet feel. Eight different Auto Meter gauges, and a Kicker audio system reside there. The TCI Outlaw shifter and the old ammo box shifter base is a unique feature, as is two nitrous bottles mounted on the rear fenders. Eventually Matt would like to add a rear seat so his two young children can ride along.

The rear axle is a GM 10-bolt from a ’02 Chevy Blazer. The 3.73 gears and factory rear disc brakes were retained, and an Eaton posi was installed. The front axle and disc brake setup is from a ’95 two-wheel-drive Jeep Cherokee, and the axle was narrowed to fit. A Wilwood master brake cylinder, pedal, and proportioning valve were added to help slow this little hellion down. The front and rear leaf springs are original ’48 Willys. The frame was boxed 12 inches in front of and 12 inches behind the motor mounts to handle the extra torque from the motor. Rancho 9000 shocks are used on all four corners.

The body is a reproduction from Omix-ADA, and the auto body class at South Tech High School in Sunset Hills, Missouri, did an awesome job on the Desert Sand paint job. The flat black vinyl graphics by Get Exposed really stand out against the base color. Eventually Matt will add a custom rollcage to this Jeep. The front end is a standout feature and where “One Eye” gets its name. The turbo intake is in place of the passenger side headlight. So for additional illumination for those evening races an 18-inch LUMA LED lightbar was mounted under the front bumper. Cragar soft 8×15 inch wheels and a combination of BFG Radial A/T front and Mickey Thompson ET Street rear tires polish off the look.

HARD FACTS:

Vehicle: 1948 Willys CJ 2A

Engine: Turbocharged nitrous-injected 1,000hp 5.3L LS1 Chevy V-8

Transmission: GM 4L80E Automatic

Axles & Suspension: narrowed two-wheel-drive ’95 Jeep Cherokee and original ’48 leaf springs (front); GM 10-bolt, 3.73 gears, original ’48 leaf springs (rear)

Wheels: Cragar Soft 8

Tires: (Front) BFG Radial T/A (Rear) Mickey Thompson Street R

Built For: To smoke the tires, Horsepower for Hope, and to run Street Car Takeover events nationwide.

We did convince the guys to take their Jeeps out in the dirt for a little fun. Seriously, even super-fast two-wheel-drive flatfenders look better in the dirt and red sandstone of Nevada.
