The Next Edgar Allan Poe
Who knew the next Edgar Allan Poe worked at The Alex Restaurant? In the meantime, Steve hopes that by continuing to display his work on the sign outside his restaurant, a high-ranking executive from a large publishing firm would see it and believe it’s worth publishing “Wow, that is the most powerful poetry I’ve ever read. I need to get the author to sign a book deal as soon as possible, so please move quickly.”
Channeling His Inner Sir Mix
Taking a leaf out of the book of legendary hip-hop musician Sir Mix-A-Lot, El Arroyo chose to channel his inner Sir Mix. He made a name for himself in the early 1990s with his hit song “Baby Got Back,” and his lyrical skill has remained relevant today. Sir Mix-A-Lot has left his imprint on the twenty-first century, whether it’s in Nicki Minaj’s smash song, “Anaconda,” or in a funny pun put on the sign outside El Arroyo, he’s made his mark.
