The Deep-Fried Twinkie and Pastrami Shop
"At a certain point in life, you come to think you've tasted everything. You wish it wasn't so, but with all that kimchi and mochi and blood sausage stored in your memory banks, even stuff you haven't tried before evokes something you have. But then you eat a deep-fried PB&J.
Evoking jelly doughnuts, suggesting the most emollient Viennese pastry, sprinkled with powdered sugar to effect a Monte Cristo, it soars clear of all three, emerging only as itself, a tender pouch releasing hot, sweet, salty, creamy swirls. In a society where little is forbidden anymore, what remains to shame and thrill us besides deep-fried food? And not just food but name-brand, corporate, 1960s-lunchbox food?"
