Lobster House in Chelsea Market would carry SSC at a reasonable cost (for NYC). Best fishmonger in the city, IMO.

I have promoted this sandwich on here before, and it made the Village Voice "Best Of" sandwiches list this year.

It rules. Saturday's and Thursdays. Get there early on Sat if you go, line out the doorstarting around 12:30.

damn, been a while, might need to hit it this weekend.

sweet.

Citi gets Shake Shack, Yankee Stadium gets... Johny Rockets?

Amazing how uninspired that list is, concidering the current cullinary landscape at competing venues.

Area venues have traditionaly had some of the worst vending in the country, especialy Giant stadium. While CitiField seems to have made some form of "leap" with Shake Shack, and from what I hear there are good things in store for Giant Stadium (sorry, no spoilers)... this all looks pretty limp.

am i the only one that is just a little disturbed by the frequency at which this type of stuff is appearing these days? glorification of horrible food/eating habits & glutony?

all the bacon stuff started me into this train of thought and it has really come to a head wih the Man Vs Food program. There is something incredibly distasteful about a bloated american running around seeing how much he can stuff in his face.

kind of a shame too because outside that nonsense his features are not that bad and he is relatively entertaining. Saw the Ed Mitchel feature last night for instance, killer.

pumpkin scones at Our Daily Bread at Farmers Market are bangin'

"The cheese is basic mozzarella, and with so much of it, there's more than sufficient gooey delight"

here lies a basic problem with comparing NY pizza and Chicago savory pies. Most of the top tier classic new york slices are some variation on margharita, using fresh mozz at least in part. Others use a blent usualy including finer cheeses that your average bagged "basic" pre shreddd mozz.

I just don't see how anything with run of the mill cheese is even in the discussion.

aaaaaaaaanyway...

I have only had it on Sat, but it may be available one other day during the week. will poke around. I usualy try to get there at or before 12 to beat the big rush. line can run out the door (for sandwich orders only). Also worth going early because they will run out eventualy (usualy the bread goes first). Recomended course of action is to cab or walk to the spot from PATH then walk back to the waterfront parks to eat.

During the week they have a couple other worthwhile specials including an italian tuna and a ham (w/ a nice mustard sauce), both with the same in house fresh mozz as the RB.

what's worse, a poorly written review or living up to every descriptor you are reacting to?

sorry, how can you take anyone seriously who compares plates you know are not even close to "truck-stop" and "canned goods". It's just lazy and thoughtless. And I am not saying that they were not "bad" or arn't prepared poorly on the regular, just that those are the words of a grinding axe who can't even find a truly clever way to dis the food.

You could pick this thing apart 100 different ways, but in the end all you have to do is look at how many times Tony is mentioned, the context of those mentions and then think: what the hell does it have to do with the food? Nothing at this point, and I think all those involved would be happy to admit that.

"Unfortunately Peter Luger's doesn't serve rib eyes"

They do now... or if they do not already there will be soon. It was announced a month or so ago.

HOLD THE PRESSES!!! Is someone complaining about the line at Shake Shack?!? That NEVER happens!

And what insight! What an original take on the subject!

Was just down there for m annual dinner at 410 Bank street in Cape May, highly recommended for a more "fancy pants" meal. Smoked mako app special is essential eating down there.

Also, if visiting the Lobster House it's worth popping into the market area to pick up some fresh or prepared seafood. Their smoked fish is very good, especially the tuna, bluefish and mackerel. Locally caught gamefish are also available at a decent price... have ended up buying ultra fresh shark there most often the past few years.

... oh, and oysters/beers at the deck bar on a nice day can not be beat!

Just about the list we hit, no 17th though and did the ribs next to bob Gibson.

Mitchell's was predictably awesome but my personal fav was the Gibson pork shoulder, wow what a sandwich. Surprise of the day was getting our beef fix at Southside instead of Salt Lick (line was really long at SL even with the pass)... their sausage was excellent and the overall plate was the best value for dollar at the event. Just a huge plate of food (comparatively)

... and the James "Blood" set was a perfect end to the day Sat.
