I used to go to Chinatown all the time when I was younger. Now that I don’t have as much disposable income because of the economy and being a semi-adult I view a trip as a reward of sorts. I haven’t been to Chinatown since I had family over from California over the Summer and I figured “Hell.. Why not?”
I’m not one of those delicate people who have to have their food super sterilized to kill off all of the germs and also the flavor. I love the taste of danger. I’m the first one to eat food right out of a cart… I’m also known to eat “local” foods whenever I travel.
I’m like Andrew Zimmern in that. Also that I’m fat and bald.
A short list of things I’ve eaten in Chinatown:
I do have to admit that the olives were a “mistake”. I honestly thought they were a sweetie because… hell, I don’t know the difference between too many different fruits so… I got tricked.
Also what kind of motherfucker takes an olive and puts red candy-apple coating on it?
But the worst is this cinnamon bun that I bought today.

When you look at this thing it’s crusted in cinnamon-sugar mixed with butter. It looks SO good… and it feels spongy. Like the sweetest Cinnabun … bun. Where they accidentally dip the whole thing in the frosting and then you eat it and then you get instant diabetes and you have to get your foot cut off but that’s OK because it was WORTH it.
But, what you can’t see is that there’s something gooey inside. And no, I’m not gonna be gross and say that it’s the sperm of a million chinamen who spend all day jerking off into vats to fill buns to trick stupid Americans and that’s why their eyes are so slanted. Because that isn’t what happened.
Just as bad as that is that they filled the most AMAZING cinnamon bun I’ve ever seen with mayonnaise.
I. SKEEVE. MAYO.
And what the fuck is mayo doing in a cinnamon bun? I mean seriously?
And now for your enjoyment, I put Atomic Fireballs as Eyes. It’s now a Cinnamonsterbun.

It took me about 3 hours to get the taste out of my mouth. I had to sniff paint, drink some nasty corner-store coffee, use Worcestershire sauce as mouthwash and I can still almost taste it. It’s like I get a memory of the mayo and i can feel it in the back of my throat like its stuck there.
Like when Candy Sanders brought new meaning to “Homecoming” when I was in highschool. And she was still in her 50’s….
I stood on line for half an hour before I realized what was going on. I thought that they were giving away free candy, not that Candy was giving it away for free…
And I’m pretty sure that she only tasted SLIGHTLY grosser than this did.
