Nuke Pickle – Speedshop Full Throttle Deli

Nuke Cycles

So I’ve been to the Speedshop Full Throttle Deli quite a few times now and always go with the same turkey sandwich and get the 6th Gear. On my last visit, I noticed the big ass pickles in the deli case and asked for one…I like pickles. But Keith (the owner) had a better option for me. From the fridge in the back he brought out his latest concoction, pickles soaked in Nuke Paste Juice. Nuke Paste is his blend of 7 peppers and some other goodies that add great flavor and heat to his sangwiches. He gave me one of the pickles and OH MOMMA was it good.

Crispy, juicy, spicy, garlicy pickles. They had only been brining for 24 hours so over the next few days, these bad boys should be packing a punch. Now all he needs is to make some Nuke Drink. “We got some milk, some soda, some purple stuff, oh and Nuke Delight….yeahhhh”.

Ok, so if you’re still reading this, Keith needs your help. Well, he didn’t ask, I’m asking for him. He’s trying to figure out a name for these pickles. He’s thinking “Nuke Bomb” or “Nuke Missle” since the pickles look similar to a missle. For me, I like the Nuke part but am thinking of something less destructive to counter the Nuke name.

I want to call them NukeSickles or Nuke Cycles like Nuke+Sauce+Pickles and then add in the Cy like motorcycles, ok, not my best work. My friend HopHound wants to call it the Nuke Gingrich. Please send in your comments, lets get these bad boys a killer name.

Heart Shaped Pizza – Papa Murphy’s

2008/02/15

Papa Murphy’s Heart Shaped Pizza

I hate Valentine’s Day. I never have like the Hallmark of Holiday’s and I especially have never liked the price of flowers. Good lordy, you’d think roses were made of gold or could get you high by sniffing them for how much they cost in February. The wife and I started our lives together pretty poor. In fact, I recently found a pay stub from a job I had when we moved in together. Oh man, after rent, I think all I could afford was the Heart Shaped Pizza from Papa Murphy’s on Valentines Day. Back then I believe it was $5.99 and was a nice break from our nightly chicken and rice (and some nights it was just rice).

We’ve been renting a movie and eating the Heart Shaped Pizza every year since. This year was no exception. Wouldn’t you know it, Bend’s Best Food Critic (yeah, that’s me) eats Papa Murphy’s Pizza on one of the best dining out nights of the year. That’s right, I think I am the best food critic in Bend. I’m not the best restaurant reviewer. I think you need some writing skills which I aint gots. Laurie J. Rice takes the prize there although I don’t like some of the restaurants that she reviews, that girl has skillz.


MMMmmm. I preheat to 430 and bake for 10 minutes, rotate and bake for another 5 on the bottom rack. Good eats!
