What's the big deal?

I've spent 26 years of my life getting familiar with Bangalore. I studied at a college which was on Brigade Road for 2 years. I spent a hell lot of time walking up and down that high street. I've seen shops come and go. I was also around when the first CCD, then known as Cyber Cafe became a hangout for coffee connoisseurs. 

Yet, I have never seen Pecos or Fanoos. Didn't really understand what the big deal was. Given a choice I'd rather spend a hot sunny day, in campus playing a casual game of cricket with like minded teetotallers and vegetarians.  

They're both holes in the wall. And yet, when i tell a true patron that I havent been to either of these landmarks, I manage to elicit the following response everytime. "WHAT??? YOU HAVENT BEEN TO PECOS/FANOOS? HUMM...."

    oho. theres no big deal. just that youre such a drunkard these days that its hard to imagine that you havent seen that side of beer-gade road. and you should. i think some part of you will get a kick out of it.

    pecos/funoos sucks man.

    pecos = 50% water, 30% beer, 20% dunno what
    fanoos= mixture of dogmeat and god knows what, with instant food poisoning the next day.

    i've lived in bangalore 8 years, been to both places precisely once. tchah.
