Stuff I Like- 02-18-09

This column is going to be chock full of my opinions and rambles about supplements, books, DVDs, training equipment, and anything else remotely connected to our shared passion.  But what are my qualifications, and why are Dave and John putting this up on the site?

Nothing But the Real Thing!

RomanoRagesOnNow that a few days have passed since former IFBB judge and NPC district chairman, Lee Thompson, announced the formation of his new “NPC”, out of the NPC he just left, the winds have defined their direction, so I thought I'd expound further upon this attempted highjacking of our beloved NPC and what's probably going to come of it.

Romano in Mexico: Eating Down South!

In the U.S., Dell Taco is Lying and the Grocery Store is Robbing You!

RiceThe first things many of us think of when we hear the term "Mexican food" are tacos, burritos and fajitas.  While those items are just the very tip of the Mexican gastronomic iceberg, they have been perverted by Americanization to the degree that what you can order at Del Taco can't even be found in Mexico.  I don't mean by name; I mean by execution.  For example, a taco in Mexico does not have a hard shell, and it's not filled with seasoned ground mystery meat, lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese, and sour cream. A taco in Mexico is nothing like that.  A taco in Mexico is made with a soft corn tortilla (sometimes two) and it's filled with meat - real meat - none of it chicken.  (There are however chicken "taquitos" that are made from chicken meat rolled in a corn tortilla and deep fried.  But those are not found very often, and you really don't want them).

And the gym? There wasn't one.  Today, Puerto Vallarta is not only a bustling seaside metropolis, but it's - as I have said many times before - a bodybuilder's paradise.
