On June 5—the morning after the Newburgh Illuminated affair noted in the previous post—Phast Phreddie the Boogaloo Omnibus was back at Mama Roux for more hot DJ action; this time for the Funky Broadway Brunch that is hosted by DJ Pete Pop every Sunday.
On this day, Mama’s owner Miss Sterling insisted that Phast and Miss Nancy, who was photgrapher on the scene, should take advantage of the excellent fare being served and suggested the burrata shakshuka. We couldn’t tell you exactly what it was (or even if it was legal in this state!), but it seemed to involve two or three poached eggs swimming in a rich, spicy sauce. Man, it was good.

What also was good were the fabulous records played by DJ Pete Pop. This cat has some spectacular sides and every time we DJ together he impresses with his selections. In a few weeks, he and The Boog will be workin’ it at Quinn’s for his Do The 45 dance spectacular and that will be a gas.
