I looked, but didn't find this mentioned anywhere. I don't know what it means, if anything, but it struck me as curious. Mr. MacDooble refers to his "impeccable mustache" in each of the articles.
From "Chowhound Post, Breakfast & Lunch choices in Bonaire":

I like that thought of Macdooble as "MacDouble"....

...but instead of looking for double *letters* in words, what if "double" was referring to people...???

Ever notice how many of the pics in the Slusho 7's pic pages don't *really* look like the same actor/actress?

*The blonde Lena looks *nothing* like Lizzie Caplan, the dark-haired Lena; and notice the weird last photo that mentions "switching faces with Nicolas Cage."
*The drunk Beth in the pics with 3 other girls looks nothing like the familiar pic of Odette Yustman on the beach, or the one with the funny face drinking from a straw.
*Rob even looks different in the pinata pics.
*Hawk looks nothing like either of the two guys in the pool pic.
*Hud looks different in every photo, but it could be because he's stoned to the gills.
*Lil looks very different in the pics at the restaurant.
*And Jamie looks different in virtually every photo...and there's been a long-standing argument on this board about whether or not the blonde "Rob's awesome" girl in the trailer is supposed to be Jamie Lascano, even though she looks nothing like the Jamie from the JLT videos.

You may be onto something about "doubles." But I'm thinking "double" in terms of people...like doppelgangers...or maybe, if this movie contains multiple retellings of the same story (as I'm inclined to believe), different actors may play the same role (look up "I'm Not There," the new movie about Bob Dylan, that features the iconic singer being played by Richard Gere (?), Heath Ledger (?), Chris Bale (?), Cate Blanchett (???), and even some young black kid (????) in different stories...)

Maybe MacDooble is Teddy, doing the research for Tagruato, posing as a food critic. Possibly why he had to leave Jamie. Just a thought....

MacDooble isn't well versed, his bizzare, meandering internal dialoge is full of offbeat mistakes:

Fawn tails go up when they are scared, as a signal to other deer to run;
Fallen angels are evil, not heavenly;
Robin Hood is in Sherwood, not Buckleshire forest;
Magnolia trees do not have acorns;
Brodullo's has a "marble-laden" entrance, but crayons, paper tablecloths and plasticised menus;
Napoleon didn't discover America;
Clams don't have pearls;

The guys is a blowhard in my opinion. This stuff HAS to have clues in it, or the clue is that MacDooble is not very bright!

Don't know why I didn't see this before - in the article where MacDooble eats the mysterious Special prepared by Chef Nakamura (w/Tagruato-supplied ingredients), he says at the end:

"I wouldn't call the Special delicious, or even tasty. But I would call it an experience. A culinary experience whose shadow has yet to leave my mind, and has left me craving more."

That's odd. It doesn't taste particularly good. I've been assuming it's delicious b/c Slusho kept insisting it was. Earlier in the article, MacDooble describes the flavor as something totally new to him, and he remarks that he's tasted just about every flavor around the globe - he describes the flavor as "inscrutable." He also says "it was as if I tasted the food not just with my tongue buds but with my very soul."

So, it's not tasty, but it is a totally novel taste sensation, and beyond that... I guess someone should tell Huey Lewis we found that "new drug" he's been whining about. Smile

Another weird coincidence? Most likely. But here are the last for words of his Brodullo review.

before a roaring crowd.

Reverse it: crowd roaring a before
