EB Mafia

[Dothracki PE]

Welcome aboard one and all on the EB Food Tour of the East Coast (because it's better than the West), I'll be your tour guide, @DuranDuran. Yes, it is exactly the same spelling as the band." Said @DuranDuran as he addressed the group. Everyone sat in their seats on the RV they had all pitched in to rent for the trip. It took months of planning and research but the trip was finally here. "As I'm sure you are all aware we are currently in Boston, Massachusetts about to head over to the town of Salem. There is a lot to do on our itinerary and lots of ground to cover on the trip so we will need to keep that in mind when we take breaks. We will also take turns driving to reduce any chances of accidents due to fatigue. Thank you to @LyceeFruit PE who agreed to take first drive." After a 40 minute trip from the airport, everyone got out of the RV and started to look around the creepy old town of Salem with memories of Hocus Pocus in their head. "Here you we see the old coastal town of Salem, although famous for the witch trials of the 1700s, it's a hidden gem with many seafood joints to get a taste of the lobsters of the Northeast. Be sure to be on the lookout for lobster rolls, which actually is said to have originated in the Connecticut town of Milford, but has become very popular in coastal towns from Maryland up to Canada." said @DuranDuran "We will split up into groups and reconvene back here at 7 PM, after which, we will head to the RV park.

Each group split up and started to run off in all directions looking at the old building architecture, cobblestone roads, and cemeteries all around. "Look at that ship!", said @tj_PE as their group walked past the docks spotting a historic tall ship tied up at the docks. There were many people walking on and off as the boat was open to the public to walk around on the deck. "I want to steer the ship! " @JayKay PE said as they started leading the group towards the ship and onto the ramp. The ship was massive standing at least 30 feet from the deck to the water surface. The ship's steering wheel was on an upper platform that was only accessible by ladder and was roped off for safety reasons due to the ladder being close to the edge of the ship. @JayKay PE quickly climbed over the rope and started climbing on the ladder not realizing it had recently rained leaving the ladder with flat rungs wet and slippery. As they nearly reached the top, they lost their balance and fell off the ship landing on the concrete dock below, killing them instantly. @JayKay PE was lynched by the town, she was a normal foodie who missed out on the tour.

You should haunt it then!

 

[MadamPirate PE]

DAMMIT! Sorry @JayKay PE

 

[Eye Hate Landscaping PE]

Sorry to see you go, but any roll of those dice was going to kill a townie, I’m afraid.

 

[Dothracki PE]

I am just kidding, I cannot really judge the West coast, since I have not been there. I just have more experience on the East coast to make the story here. Maybe one day when we are not in a pandemic.

 

[Dothracki PE]

I ******* love Salem. It is so much fun there.

I've been there 3 times, it's a great place to go. I love the preserved history and so much food there.

"Well gang, this is a strange turn if events", said @DuranDuran, "but I am sure @JayKay PE would have wanted for us to continue this journey in their memory. Not to mention all of the deposits we put down are non-refundable. So we are on our way down to the next coast city of New Haven, CT. Believe it or not, some have claimed New Haven to be the pizza capital of America, so we're going to put that to the test."

Meanwhile in the New Haven IKEA parking lot, a few individuals stepped out of their cars and got into an unmarked van waiting in the parking. "Have you all brought the stuff?", said the leader of the group. Everyone nodded in agreement each bringing forth a duffel bag filled with weapons or tools or folders containing loads of papers. The leader continued, "Alright lets go over the plan one more time." The leader pulled out one of the folders and the United States map with several dots drawn down the East coast. He then pulled out a few photos of tonight's target location on Wooster Street. After reviewing the plans, the leader concluded, "The plans are set, we will regroup here at 1900 hours. Remember to stay hidden as much as possible. Don't bring any attention to yourselves."

The group finally arrived in New Haven around lunchtime. "Alright gang", said Duran, " Remember we are going early to Frank Pepe's restaurant on Wooster Street since they don't take reservations and there is usually a line to get in. There are many things to see and do within New Haven due to Yale University being here. There are plenty of places for lunch weather you want to get more pizza, or sushi or whatever your heart's desire. Remember to stay in your groups, and we will meet back here at 5 PM." As each group split off in all directions again each searching for lunch and looking on their phones for places to eat and things to do.

5 PM
Back at the RV, the group split off into a few cabs to head to Pepe's restaurant on Wooster Street. Each cab pulled up and the group got on the long line that wrapped around the sidewalk just to get into the building. The group spent hours in anticipation before finally getting out into tables, each group ordering two of their favorite coal-fired pizzas including Pepe's famous clams casino pizza. After 3 hours, they finally emerge from the restaurant, some carrying few leftover slices in boxes. "That pizza just might be the best in America", said @BlueBlueprint_PE.

Just then they heard a commotion on a nearby CTtransit bus as several masked figures wearing strange sunglasses with headlamps got on the bus brandishing weapons demanding everyone to hand over their wallets and purses. At that moment, @MadamPirate PE took out their phone and started to dial 911 when suddenly a shot rang out and they collapsed on the ground with blood spilling from their arm. A figure emerged from the crowd, "I am a doctor!", they said, "Somebody give me their belt!" The doctor was handed a series of belts and grabbed one to fashion a tourniquet while keeping pressure on the wound and taking off their jacket to keep @MadamPirate PE warm. "Someone call for an ambulance, we need to get her to the hospital right away!" Just then a van came screeching down the road and the masked vigilantes rushed into the van and drove off before any police could show up. However their sniper accomplice on the roof across the street, @squaretaper LIT AF PE was left behind and started a shootout with police before finally committing suicide by cop. An ambulance also was quick to arrive and took @MadamPirate PE to the hospital. @MadamPirate PE was saved by the doctor.

One day I should take my wife to Salem. "Hocus Pocus" is one of her favorite movies!

One day I would love to try coal-fired pizza while reclining in my Muren.

I know, lobster rolls are much better further North! But apparently The Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink says thats' where hot lobster rolls were invented. Lobster rolls are definitely better cold though as served in Massachusetts and Maine. I should have consulted with you to start off in Portland or somewhere in Maine, but I haven't really been to Maine much except Sunday River for skiing.

Food origins are tough to trace, there are so many foods whose origins aren't exactly in written record and contested such as 1,000 Island Dressing and Lobster Rolls to name a few.

By the time a lobster rolls to AZ, it might be a bit too dried out to enjoy?
