Hott Links: JoeHoya
While you may think star-commenter JoeHoya (or affectionately, JH) may simply spend all of his blog reading time with ES, you’d be shockingly mistaken. JH actually writes for the *rival* food blog, DC Foodies. And as I never really read other food blogs (unless he/she comments on our posts and leaves a link to their blog) I have neglected JH’s hard work elsewhere. So, here, JH – our official ES tribute to our first and favorite non-friend commenter. (Actually, you know what that stinker first wrote on our blog – he corrected a misspelling of mine…) Anyway, enjoy our GOP foe boy, JoeHoya.

Here, here on the cheese plates – you’ve convinced me, I’m officially done with them. Last night I went to El Quinto Pino and ordered the Catalan Head Cheese plate – do you know what was on it? One slice of cheese – with two sliced cherry tomatoes, as if that made it a plate. I mean, I know it was tapas and the cheese was ok – but I think a “cheese plate” should by law include two or more slices of cheese.
Wait, Joehoya is real????
that’s not him in the photo, for the record.
or is it…
oh, and it totally sucks about murky coffee. loved the vibe there.
Awwww….thanks for the shout-out, Gansie! Nice to know that I’m a “star-commenter” and not “that annoying and borderline stalkerish guy.”
BS – I may be walking into a joke here, but I’m kind of surprised there was any cheese at all on the “Catalan Head Cheese Plate.” Head cheese is a cold meat-and-gelatin dish – more like a terrine than anything else. Did the cheese and tomatoes come with anything else? A slab of formed meat, perhaps?
Britannia – Sorry to disappoint, but that’s not an actual shot of me. ‘Joe Hoya’ is a shorthand for the stereotypical Georgetown student, and a pseudonym I’ve been using for years as a tongue-in-cheek nod to that.
ok, maybe i was confused – I think there was a head cheese offering, and also a separate cheese plate – anyway, regardless I paid like nine dollars for one slice of cheese.
i wish i liked cheese plates more, but i just havent gotten into *stinky* cheeses. and id rather end my meal with chocolate than cheese. oh, and i dont like blue cheese. i’m a mess.
You non cheese people are just weird to me.
no, no, no! i love cheese. i just can’t get into the *cheese plate*, per se.
