Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

He's not that fat. And, outside of the New York metro area, he's not that famous, either. But extreme obesity and celebrity could be achieved at any moment. Famous Fat Dave, the self-described "pickle man / cheesemonger / hot dog vendor / bread truck driver / food writer / licensed tour guide (and) cabbie," began piloting a taxi in 2001. He took to blogging in 2006. But he was born a voracious eater and raconteur. If you're lucky, you'll flag down his cab in Manhattan and find yourself quickly equipped with tips on the best all-you-can-eat Indian in Long Island City or the chewiest bagels on the Upper West Side. But those who live far from the five boroughs can still nosh from the delectable layout and vivacious writing on Dave's site. So go ahead, chow down on the fried chicken, tuck in to the cannoli, and dive in to the pickles. Reading this stuff is almost as delicious as downing it yourself.
