Wolfgang Puck, the 21st-century Chef Boy-arTee, has agreed to begin selling the recently reintroduced, banana-flavored twinkies in his airport kiosks. Said the Boy, "Airport travelers are a frazzled bunch. They long for a taste of home, a little comfort, even a banana-flavored twinkie, when on the road."
Puck venues, which have become as ubiquitous as roastiserrie chicken and garlic-mashed-potatoes on the food landscape, is rumored to be toying with additional expansion. Tentatively named Frytalia, the new concept is being test-marketing in select midwest cities during the summer travel season. Often dubbed "Try It-Fry It" for those who've seen it, the concept is as sparse as nouvelle cuisine but infinitely more tasteful to soggy American taste buds. For an extra $2 per item, unsatiable and unsaturated passengers can take any item purchased from a Gourmet Express, such as peanut-butter on a ciabiatta roll, Genovese bologna sandwiches, or twinkies-on-a-stick, to nearby station whereby they can be flash-fried in 100% peanut oil. "The whole process takes less time than a text message," said the plucky Puck, "and is more tasteful than many of those pesky emails from the boss."

I am dying to try a banana-flavored Twink! Looks like I can have a chance when I fly to SEA or perhaps JFK!
sarah says that all the rage at the record bar is a desert called an elvich(?) you know those sandwhich makers that make those little toasted, pressed sandwhiches in 4 triangle shapes? you make a peanut-butter banana sandwhich in one of those, then coat each little triangle in some kind of batter (qualudes?) and deepfry it. serve it with chocolat sauce. elvis ate shit like this all the time. total redneck, momma's boy, which is one reason why he as so revered in the south.
