Restaurant:  Pei Wei Asian Diner

Address: 2050 Route 70 W Cherry Hill, NJ 8002

Food:  Fast Asian Food

Price:  Good

Portions:  Big

Taste:  Delicious

Service:  Solid

Atmosphere:  Fast Food

Hey, sorry for the late post, but I crashed out and forgot to update.

So, on Saturday, burned out from Wizard World, I was headed to Ponzio’s when I saw Pei Wei and decided that it probably would be less crowded.  I went in and it was empty, thank God, because I was starving.

Pei Wei is like an Asian Chipotle, although they have more choices.  I got a poke bowl, which is basically a sushi order mixed with salad.  It was overflowing and really filled me up.  Lots of tastes going on.  I will be going back.  The iced tea was a little weird.  Not the standard black, but some kind of orange tea.  Okay for this, but that bowl was amazing.  Gotta say I was a little apprehensive to get something that raw at a place like this, but it was good and fresh!  Kudos to Pei Wei.

I give Pei Wei 9 out of 10 keggers.

Quick Addendum:  The next day, I did go to Ponzio’s.  They have this new Marco steak salad.  Holy shit, bros!  Amazing!

Your Philly Wizard World Fratoscope

Behold!  The psychic frat boy’s powers have been brought to bear on all who attended the Philadelphia Wizard World Convention!  Read your horoscope and know your future!

If your birthday is this week:  Keith Urban doesn’t care, he’s not coming to your birthday party and he’s not dressing up at Judge Dredd for it either.

Aries:  Your cosplay as “a guy buying comics” goes unnoticed.

Taurus:  Congrats!  You’re the 1000th Harley Quinn at the show!

Gemini:  Despite your child’s great monetary value, the dealer will not trade you for that Hammer of Thor you wanted.

Lemini:  Henry Winkler refuses to punch your broken jukebox.

Cancer:  You’ll realize several minutes too late that Wizard World doesn’t have a boob inspector.

Leo:  You’ll be asked to wait outside the con for a few minutes since it’s currently at Deadpool cosplay capacity.

Virgo:  Your panel on “Who wins in a fight the Incredible Hulk or Maurice from the IT Crowd?” runs surprisingly short.

Libra:  Natalie Dormer tells you that maybe you should talk to someone else about your emotional problems, since she can only give out so much advice in an autograph line and she’s an actress, not a licensed therapist.

Scorpio:  Turns out, that guy you had sex with is not Stan Lee, nor is he letting you write Spiderman.

Sagittarius:  Jim Steranko refuses to draw your Brony bullshit, no matter what you pay him.

Capricorn:  Turns out, the guy you spent an hour showing your portfolio to just works at the snack stand, but on the upside he likes your Captain America drawings.

Aquarius:  The security guards inform you that beating up another fanboy because he misgraded your comic, technically isn’t “fighting crime”.

Pisces:  You make a great deal of money, but lose it all in a crap game with Elijah Wood.

Fat Guy Eats: Sal Vito Pizza

by tonyd on May 19, 2018 at 1:10 am

Restaurant:  Sal Vito Pizza

Address: 910 Haddonfield Berlin Rd, Voorhees, NJ 08043

Food:  Pizza

Price:  Average

Portions:  Good

Taste:  Pretty Good

Service:  Solid

Atmosphere:  So-so

I was kinda of desperate for a place to eat coming back from the Philly Wizard World convention.  Driving around hungry in South Jersey makes me bad at making decisions.  At first, I wanted to stop at Ponzio’s, but the place was packed.  I ended up in Eagle Plaza, but Five Guys had CLOSED!  Eeek!  Then I remember Sal Vito was nearby.  I had been wanting to try it for a long time, but I usually ended up in Pancheros.  Tonight was the night.

It’s a standard pizza place with some chairs.  The staff is all family, which is nice, but they had CNN on and it was kind of loud.  I should’ve gone outside.  I had a slice of pizza, cheesesteak hoagie and a bottle of unsweetened iced tea.  The pizza was good, although a little too much crust on my slice.  The cheesesteak came with the addition of mayo, which I had not asked for.  It was good, but I really didn’t want the mayo.  Kind of made me feel bloated afterwards.

All in all, a solid place.  I would go there again, but I would probably take it out.

I give Sal Vito Pizza 7 out of 10 keggers.

Fat Guy Eats: Nom Wah

by tonyd on May 18, 2018 at 12:01 am

Restaurant: NomWah

Address:218 North 13th Street, Philadelphia, PA

Food:  Chinese

Price:  Good

Portions:  Larger Than Expected

Taste:  So Awesome!

Service:  Solid

Atmosphere:  Wood Bar

So I hadn’t eaten all day at the Philly Wizard World Comic Book Convention, but I had only suffered from 4pm to 9pm.  For some reason, that’s what Wizard decided the hours would be on a Thursday.  I was positively starving when I got out and I didn’t want to walk all the way to Chinatown.  Technically, I was in it, but the majority of the restaurants were two blocks away.  After a quick search on my phone, Nom Wah and their 4.5 stars on Google Reviews appeared.  I decided to go.

It was 9:10 and the place closed at 10, but I was seated.  The hostess/waitress was exceedingly pleasant as I looked a wreck from walking in the rain.  I order General Tso’s Shrimp, Shrimp Shu Mai, sticky rice with Chinese sausage and a Pork Bun.  Let me tell you, all were excellent.  Everything from the presentation to the taste.  My shrimp were huge, cooked still in the shell.  I was in a fog until I gobbled it all down and gobble I did.  Sometimes Chinese places leave you feeling thirsty or your stomach’s upset because the food is of bad quality—  Not Nom Wah.  I felt great.  Would totally go again and I just might.

I give Nom Wah 9 out of 10 keggers only because my table was a little sticky.  Other than that, you gotta try this place, bros!
