Buckley is Famous!

Buckley made the papers this morning.  No, not in the Police Blotter like you may have expected.  This is the new Buckley and he is front page news now!

If you haven't checked it out, find yourself a copy of the Stamford Advocate or just check it out online.  All the normal readers of the SA must be asking themselves the same question, "how does someone working at Colony Grill stay so thin??"

Keep up the hard work Mark!

Buckley Bucks Comment Challenge #1

If you don't remember, Buckley's Fun Run nearly ended in disaster.  His feet and knees hurt and he nearly collapsed from exhaustion.  In fact, he was even having trouble speaking so it is only fair that we try to make sense of his facial expression and decifer what he would have said if not for the unbearable weight crushing down on his chest.  For the first chance at a delicious satisfying free Colony Pizza please complete any of the following captions:

 

Option A: "That run destroyed me, I don't I'll ever be able to _______________ again!" 

Option B: "I'm so hungry I could eat a _____________!"

Options C: "              (now you've got the idea so feel free to caption it anyway you want)          "

Don't be shy now.  We're looking for the most creative or otherwise funny response.  No need to stop at one either.  Remember, we're playing for Buckley Bucks (Colony pizza) so give it your best shot.

Dieting Tip from a Pro

Buckley told me about a dieting tip he got from a loyal Colony Grill customer who is also a local gym owner. What I was expecting to hear was that he advocated a balanced portion controlled diet coupled with a moderate exercise regiment.  Instead, White Goodman's solution to dropping pounds is to wolf down a Hot Oil Stinger pizza from Colony once a week....?

Okay, so his reasoning is that a Colony's stinger pie (which is covered in whole jalapeno peppers and dripping in hot oil) is like a supercharged laxative capable of inducing some serious IBS which is going to successfully clear out your entire system. In all honesty he has a point, but is this really the best path to a slimmer you?

Thanks for the tip Goodman.  We probably would've settled for 15% of the bill but I'm sure your sage advice will pay the heating bill somehow.

Temptation knocks

I recently heard a coworker compare pizza to sex, since even bad pizza is better than no pizza at all.  This will undoubtedly pose a challenge to our friend Mark since he recently took a job at one of the best pizza parlor/bars in the greater New York area (all you pizza enthusiasts note that I said "one of" - I'm not trying to get into pissing contest over who's pizza is better).

If you've never heard of Colony Grill you either don't live in the greater Stamford area or your a particularly strong willed member of an al Queda.

Feast your eyes on this delightful melody of processed meat, cheese and saturated dough slow cooked to perfection and drizzled with spicy hot oil:

There are no menus but even if there were the only thing they'd have on them is pizza.  Don't even try to order a salad, pasta dish, or coffee because they don't have it.  And you better come prepared to pay cash (no credit cards) or you'll be using their convenient ATM to dispense some after a convenience (for them) charge of $2.

Nonetheless, Colony is in a class of its own as one of the most tempting meals I've come to know.  Perhaps his loyalties as a customer helped secure Mark the laudable position of waiter/bartender.  And therein lies the dilemna.  Now that he can have all the pizza he could cram down his throat one slice would devastate his delicately balanced diet.

That doesn't mean the rest of us can't enjoy the spoils of his labor.

Thanks for bringing one back for me buddy!  Hope you don't mind me eating it here.
