I gave the turkey sausage one a try recently and what annoyed me the most (besides the cardboardy bread) was that when I got it home there wasn't even any cheese on it. Not that the extra dairy would've necessarily helped the sandwich much.
Ha, I forgot about this nickname. A couple years ago I met up with a few food bloggers in Kuala Lumpur and they mentioned that this drink was called a Michael Jackson. I'd never heard of such a thing, but then, no one really drinks black grass jelly in the US.
There are still two within two blocks of my apt. in Carroll Gardens (and strangely, no real grocery stores anywhere in the immediate area). I wish they carried more Asian products. One is just a regular bodega, the other has lots of natural/organic/vegetarian stuff. I patronize the latter for Greek yogurt, but that's about it.
Oh yeah, I totally forgot the mention the milkshake. They're thick as wet cement (in a good way).
Despite being a little fast-foodish, the softshell crab sandwich at the Circus Drive-In at the Jersey Shore isn't half bad. No homemade tartar sauce, though. But it's a circus-themed drive-in and that's half the fun.
I always mean to try Tanh Dah but if I'm in Sunset Park I have a hard time straying from Ba Xuyen. They do a sardine banh mi too.
How a benign mint julep thread has devolved into Holocaust allusions is both fascinating and freakish...
The place to get these in Queens is La Perrada de Chalo. They have insane styles like the "Iraqui." Just about all of them contain crushed potato chips and mayonnaise, though.
roboppy: Hopefuly it doesn't disappoint. Don't miss the completo hot dog.
San Antonio Bakery is pretty awesome; they have mostly snacky stuff like sandwiches, empanadas and tons of baked goods. And the owner is super friendly.
I've also heard about a Chilean place in Elmhurst, El Arrayan, but I haven't been yet.
It's very peculiar that I rarely post on Serious Eats, yet always chime in on Chilean food. I think I just like underdog cuisines.
This looks horrible and the sound of it doesn't. Try McDonald's chicken on a bisquit, it's fantastic.
worldcupfever, you made me laugh out loud.
All these recent abominations introduced at DD are from Executive Chef/Director of Culinary Development Stan Frankenthaler, of the late, great Salamander restaurant in Cambridge, MA. Lo, how the mighty have fallen!
the part that makes me mad about this, too, is that you can't get the egg white omelet on any other type of bread. no croissant, no english muffin, no bagel. why? i'm assuming because this egg is triangle shaped, to fit the flatbread. guess what? i don't care if it hangs over the edge, just please... let me have it on a croissant! the flatbread tastes like cardboard. i think the egg white part itself is fine, though i've only had the veggie not the turkey.
I will jump on the boat tomorrow. looks awesome.
Oh yeah, I totally forgot the mention the milkshake. They're thick as wet cement (in a good way).
Why is there a photo of Sac's Pizza here? I see no link to Sac's.
love the Circus Drive-In! classic crab sandwich, classic krinkle fries. And a milkshake of course.
