Give Me A Pig Foot And A Bottle Of Beer
The same 300 pound Harlem fare who told me to go to Londel’s for fried chicken and waffles told me I also must go to Spoonbread for Sunday brunch. But I loved Londel’s so much that whenever I was in the neighborhood I couldn’t imagine eating anywhere else.
So it wasn’t until I shot the New Year’s Day Holiday Foods webisode that I finally made it to Spoonbread just blocks away from Londel’s in Harlem. I am prettyyyyy pretty mad at myself for my reluctance to branch out because Spoonbread was amazing.
Watch as Miss Norma Jean and I dive deep into some black eyed peas and rice:

You Broke My Heart
Instead of grabbing your older brother behind the ears and kissing him full on the lips, maybe this new year you should just take a nice long sip of bubbly.

Hey, What’s Up There Fruitcake?
I just can’t get enough of Christmas. So the History Channel crew and I drove all the way up to La Tulipe Desserts in Mt. Kisco, NY to learn how to put a modern twist on the ancient fruitcake. Watch the hilarity that ensued here:

To watch the video in a larger format, wait until the commercial is done, and then click one of the little grey boxes at the lower right of the screen. It’ll super size the video the way a Famous Fat Dave tour will super size your gut.

Oh Fuuuuuuuudge
Chanukah has, sadly, come to a close. I didn’t get my own tv show like I asked asked Chanukah Harry for, but I did get Taxi! A Social History Of The New York City Cabdriver by Graham Russell Gao Hodges. So I got that going for me . . . which is nice.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Chirstmas. Get in the spirit with another “Holiday Foods” webisode from Famous Fat Dave. Click the link below to start eating like the little piggies eat:

P.S. I tried to look as Chirstmasy as I could. How’d I do? Keep in mind I shot this in the early morning after a kinda crazy Halloween.

Go Back Ta Jersey Ya MOOOraaaaan
Chanukah is upon us. I’m gonna ask for my own tv show. In the meantime, take a look at today’s installment of HistoryChannel.Com’s Holiday Foods Series as we fry latkes at the Clinton Street Bakery. And if my antics aren’t enough for you, Buster Poindexter fans will be excited to hear that the Checker Cab I drive in this series is the very same one he drove in Scrooged.
Come back here this week for a second Channukkah episode. And go to www.FamousFatDave.com to book your five borough eating tour

Into My Belly: Adventures Of A Pumpkin Pie
Take a gander at the second installment of my Holiday Foods series airing on HistoryChannelDotCom. This isn’t the most exciting one (mostly I just repeat what the baker says), but that shouldn’t stop you from coming back here for links to the next SIX thrilling episodes before the year is out.
