Buff Chicks

No, I'm not talking about female body builders. I refer to Buffalo Chicken calzones, aka "Buff Chicks". Now, these are not normal calzones in the traditional sense of the word "calzone". Buff Chicks refer to one specific calzone, and that is the Buffalo Chicken calzone, served at Espresso's Pizza near Tufts University. The Buff Chick is legendary for it's flavor, size, and general ability to satiate even the most ravenous of college aged males, and to put the freshmen 15 on girls in about the same number of minutes. To imagine the Buff Chick, think about a entire pizza dough squished so it is about 75% as wide. Now, lay that flat and lay 64 slices of highly processed american cheese down. Follow this with 16-24 oz. of slimy buffalo sauce. Top it off with a sizable helping of chicken. Fold the entire thing in half, pinch down the edges, and allow to deep fry for approximately 10-12 minutes.

We've tried to figure out how many calories are in the Buff Chick. The most conservative estimates weigh in at about 2000 calories, with others guessing as high as 3000 to 3500. There are Espresso's Buff Chick-haters out there who claim there are better buffalo chicken calzones to be had at other "fine" eating establishments, such as Andrea's or Pasta Pisa. They are clearly confused. There can be only one Buff Chick.

Why do I bring this up? Becuase tonight is a monumental occasion. All 7 of the residents of 19 Walker Street Apt. #2 are joining together for a reunion tonight. Myself, along with Peter "Betty" Bromka, Matt "Thor" Theodors, Jon "Woody" Rosen, Justin "J-Lew" Lewis, Zach "Morris" Chrisco, and Pete "Moose" Jurczynski will be convening momentarily at Espresso's Pizza to go 7 for 7. That's right, 7 Buff Chicks. This has been accomplished only once before in the history of man, circa spring 2004. (I would link a picture of this, but right now many of my files are in limbo as I switch things from my old desktop to my laptop... check back for updates).

And, on a running note, Hog and I did the 8.5 Brookline loop this morning. It was pretty chilly, but bearable. I'm in love with my new Nike Pro Sphere top. It's hott.
