Let’s go for a dip, shall we? The latest foodie craze has come to Brooklyn via Cali courtesy of Richard Sloven, better known as the Gorilla Guac.
So WTF is Gorilla Guac?
According to an interview over at NachosNY, Sloven hails from the Mission District of San Francisco, where he began slinging bruised avocados at various corners and gathered quite a following among itinerant, drunken weekend hipsters with his movable feast and punk rock “pay what you want” MO.
And now he’s here! Sloven moved East to book shows and bartend at the Knitting Factory, but his most notable contribution has indubitably been his impromptu dip-makin’ and smack-talkin’ at random corners of Brooklyn.
He has also presented his wares in a somewhat more staid and contained capacity at the Knitting Factory’s Quiz Rock and a Side of Guac, and at the Guac Rock Boat Cruise on July 18th. Check out his happenings via his Twitter feed here.
It seems everyone’s a fan of guacamole, particularly those who don’t have regular access to great Mexican food. Gorilla Guac, UK version?
