What You See is What You Eat.

Speaking of my BFF Huell Howser, he will be making a very Special Guest Appearance at Philippe’s 100th anniversery celebration today.  Speaking of Philippe’s, they’re having their 100th anniversary celebration today.  From 4 to 8, jostle with others turn-of-the-century-style for a Wal-Martian rollback of prices to 10 cent sandwiches (one per person apparently, though maybe you can do what I do on Free Ben and Jerry’s Day: get your sandwich, turn around, walk back to the end of the line, and eat it while you wait for another) and 5 cent coffee (50% off their regularly priced coffee! (as my economics friend points out, percentages put things in proper perspective)). Pick up some pineapple buns or a roast duck from NBC Seafood next door to munch on whilst you wait.

Also performing alongside Huell will be Roger the Peanut Man, Harpo the Clown, and mysteriously unidentified but tellingly named Caricuture Artist and Comedian.

Philippe’s the Original French Dip Please let’s not get into a fight over who is the original – it’s there, it’s good, just eat it.
