"Yo, what the phở boys? Whatcha gonna eat?"

DRUM ROLL PLEASE:  IT IS TIME FOR OUR GOOFY INTRODUCTION:
(Click on the following link to listen to while reading--see if you can watch all the food and not want to go eat something!)

Yeah, that's what they say when the Phở Boys roll into town: "Yo, what the phở boys?  Whatcha gonna eat?"

"You know what we want," we say. "Give us the soup, preferably the Phở, and make it hot and spicy.  C'mon now, we're the phở boys!--Rob, Kevin, and Brian!

By the way, make sure you get our name right. The Phở is pronounced Fa, as in fa, la, la, la, la... That's right,  fa, la, la, la, la.  You got a problem with that?  Do we got you shaking?  Do we got you nervous?  Do we got you dancing the robot?


  
No?  Our tough-guy act isn't working?  Not even a little bit?  Not buying it?  Okay, fine.  We'll stop.  No, we get it.  That's okay, you didn't hurt our feelings.  Brian is just crying; but that's alright.  Make fun of the foodies.  Go ahead.  We're used to it.  Even puppy-dogs don't show us respect!

Whatever!

But, let us tell you this.  If thinking that every day should be a rocking occasion to consume massive, ridiculous amounts of awesome food for cheap is wrong, then we don't want to be right.  In our minds, at least, we are hardcore and smokin'!  'Cause we're on a mission.

We have the audacity to believe that the local food in Cleveland, Ohio (or anywhere local for that matter), especially when cheap and served family-style, is as good as it gets.  No frills!  No garçons!  No expensive accouterments!  No restaurant coupons!    And, if they serve soup, that's were we start!

We also have the audacity to think we have an opinion on food quality!  Ha!  In our defense, as Freud said, it may not be much of an opinion, but it is all you got.  So, we will share our opinion, blogging on anything and all things food: other food blogs, food trips, grocery stores, food cooked at home, you name it!

By the way, can you guess what our favorite conversation is while eating?  Eating, C'mon!

So, come along on our culinary adventure, as we explore the best, local food that 20-bucks-a-person can buy!  Just look for Kevin's pickup.  That's right!  We're the phở boys dangit!
