A Pickle To Die For
Gary Sweet from Nine Network Australia’s “Things To Try Before You Die” asked me to take him for the one food on my tour that I would say he absolutely had to taste before he died. That’s like asking me to choose which one of my children I love best (I don’t have any children, but if I did, I’d love my second born best). So I took him to Guss Pickles on the Lower East Side to taste a spicy new pickle with my old boss Tim, because
A. It’s delicious
B. To me, there is nothing more New York than a pickle
C. Tim is a legend
and
D. I used to work there, so I’m loyal

Nice piece, Dave! Seems that you were not only his culinary guide for the day, but his tour guide for the trip! And it’s great that he made sure that he put your links in the website to your masterful tour! Congrats!

Well, now I know where I’m heading when I’m craving something in the East Village.

Dave!
Congrats. I am glad to see I’m not the only Aussie who knows about your hilarious and informative site.
Next time I’m in NYC you’ll be taking me for a tour I hope!
Cheers
