It's All Pho'd Up

Sex sells, people (that sentence looked funny before I added the comma). Deal with it. Our target demographic for this site is males between the ages of 17-30 with above-normal libidos and active imaginations, so we’re sexing it up a bit here at ol’ Suite 206.

Now, back to the good stuff.

Pho (pronounced like fun without the n) is pho-king awesome (that kids, is what we call a layup in the biz). I recently discovered this dish, consisting of what seems to be liquid cocaine, laced with sex and rock and roll and haven’t looked back since.

For $7.17 I can go to Pho Binh on Lake City and grab a piping hot bowl of noodles, sprouts and briscuit drowned in the best broth this side of, well, anywhere (that’s a number 15 for those interested).

It’s hard to really explain pho to someone, so the best way to learn is to experience it, much like I did when my friend Jordan took Jon and I for our first public pho (the word games are almost as much fun as the food itself!)

Now, most restaurants have a grip of chopsticks sitting in a container, along with spoons and tiny bowls. For someone who’s pretty horrible at chopsticks, like I used to be, this might look like a daunting task, but if you’re afraid, just ask for a fork and they’ll bring one to you. They won’t look down on you, but you won’t be able to tell what they’re saying to everyone else in the restaurant, because you don’t speak Vietnamese.

I’m a big believer in natural medicine – don’t tell my mother who works in the healthcare industry – and I’m here to say: pho is a natural decongestant and a urge everyone to use it as such.

Four chopstick slurps in, your nose will be running (even quicker if you’ve loaded your bowl up with the handy cock sauce which stands at the ready next to the chopstick bin). Multitasking! I love it and so do productivity managers .

I fully expect Astra Zeneca or Pfizer to start selling this stuff OTC. At that point it’ll become illegal to go get pho’d without a prescription, so eat up quick.

If you live in basically any city worth it's weight in Pho noodles, I'm sure you can pop the word "pho" in your JesusPhone or Crackberry and get the locations of no less then 20 restaurants. DO IT!
