I haven’t had fast food in over a decade, and yet, here you are with such a story involving a fish sandwich and it makes me want to have my own special order from some fast food joint to indulge in because there’s an end date and you know you’ll be forced to detox but it’s worth it because it’s so infrequent making it all the more special. Hot damn. Brava 👏

Amazing writing. Who would think I would be hooked on a story about going to Popeyes? But, in the hands of a master.....

Has to be one of my favorite pieces on Substack. You've just taught me many things about my home state's Kitchen, and reading this I was right with you when they stopped offering the fish sandwich! Everything hit my taste buds here. The steampunk marsupial whale baby (you genius), the eternity of coral cuts (after I cut my hand snorkeling last year), the depth of feeling you shared with the Preacher and with us in the midst of your always fun, passionate storytelling. God bless.

I concur with both Jim and yourself that spicy sandwiches are where it's at.

I’m a Culver’s cod devotee myself. I can have it year round if I choose. Yet I deliberately make it rare so it holds its value to me. No Popeyes near me😢
