The Dude of Food likes Company 77 Fire Truck Pizza
What could be better than great homemade pizza delivered on a fire truck that has beer on tap? This place has a good thing going.
The Dude of Food had this truck come to our christmas party last year and it was well worth it. If you live in the southern california area then you need to experience this.
The staff is super cool. The truck is fun and has a photo booth and beer taps. The pizza is hand crafted, refined and excellent. This is the best food truck!

Santa Monica Pizza – Paris, France
At the web site listed below you may find the information to the first sign I saw upon arriving in the Paris underground metro. Exiting the Métro at Place des Fêtes and having just left Santa Monica you can imagine the surprise this sign caught me by. I laughed and knew I must go check it out.
After traveling for 14 hours I was ready to drop my bags off, eat and wander around Paris. The pizzeria was closed so I didn’t eat there until the second night of my stay and found Ismail and the staff to be friendly and hospitable. Thank you.

RAVENSWOOD California wine
Going to a party and can’t decide how much to spend and not buy some junk wine that was a waste of money and made you the indirect voice of ridicule as the tasters made their statements regarding your choice? Well there is another wine to add to the list. Reasonably priced, decent tasting. The Ravenwood line is alright.
Champion Breakfast Sandwich
Roast Beef with Tomato, Egg and Cheese
Toast some bread in the toaster. While it’s toasting heat up a pan for some sliced roast beef. When the toast pops, spread mayo on the bread and add some sliced cheese on one side and some sliced tomato on the other. When the pan gets warmed up, put some sliced roast beef in it and heat it for a minute then flip it and heat the other side for a minute. When the roast beef is warmed up stack it on top of the cheese that’s on the bread. Then while the pan is still hot cook a scrambled egg in it and put the egg on the sandwich too. It is delicious, easy to make and gives you a great start to the day.
Port Wine Recommendation
The dude of food has obtained a bottle of 10 year old tawny port from Trader Joe’s. The producer is Quarles Harris, established 1680, in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal. This beauty of a port wine was roughly $12. but tastes like a fine, expensive bottle. This port boasts a light and fruity but not too sweet flavor that follows through nicely.
It is a great after dinner sipper and also goes great with chocolate. Let out your inner man and WOW your lady tonight with this fine selection.

Tomato Soup
This is the kind of thing that I found
really made me feel like a kitchen artist.
In the summertime some friends and I
had some ambitious plans to make an
urban garden and planted some tomato
plants. Well we thought we had green
thumbs as the plants yielded an abundant
supply of lovely red ornaments. We had so
much harvest that we began to put
tomatoes into plastic bags and freeze them. Well when winter came I pulled the bags of tomatoes out of the freezer and let them thaw.
As they began to thaw from the outside the skin became easy to peel off and the frozen remnants went into a large cooking vessel. After
the smoke cleared there was a delicious brew of home made tomato soup. This was the kind of thick and zesty home made tomato soup
that warms your bones after a good winter surf and leaves you with that cozy feeling.
Serve with crackers.
update-7/27
Thank you faithful eaters and readers. since it is that time of year when all of the urban gardens around town are exploding with
tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, corn, broccoli, squash, etc. the tomato soup referred to in the original post was in need of an update.
Using fresh grown produce is satisfying and makes the gardening experience come full circle. The flavors are robust and the freshness
is unbeatable even by your local farmers market. Also the nutrition factor is at a premium when your food is vine ripened at home.
Another cool thing i learned about the tomato soup was freezing the tomatoes and then peeling them easily as they thawed. Great time
saving trick.
I never really was a “trekky” but as i sit in the kitchen with my beer in one hand and the spatchula in the other and tell stories
of fighting off spiders and pulling weeds with 4 inch roots with just my left hand while the aroma of cooking goodness permeates the
kitchen, i know the greatness captain kirk must have felt cruising his way through the galaxy.
live long and prosper,
dude out.
