Best Bites: RUB BBQ Burnt Ends

"Of course if you're fat-phobic you probably wouldn't have walked into RUB or any other barbecue joint in the first place."

It's actually shocking how many people say they "love" BBQ, only to cut the fat off their brisket. (It's shameful, I know!)

Recommendation for Conference Lunch in Midtown NYC Needed

Todai still exists, but it's called Ichi Umi now. It's a giant sushi buffet, and could probably easily accommodate your party if you book in advance.

About Zach Brooks

Website: http://www.midtownlunch.com

Location: New York, NY

About: "Fat man, likes food" sums it up. You can find me eating lunch in Midtown Manahattan and posting about it on my site midtownlunch.com.

Favorite foods: I discriminate against no food. Although I am partial to the Asian cusines... and pork. Combine the two, and I'm in heaven (which explains my obsession with the Momofuku restaurants here in NYC.)

Last bite on earth: A pill that makes you keep living? Barring that, I would probably want to eat at some sort of Asian all you can eat buffet- but if you are literally talking about one last bite, it would probably be a perfectly cooked piece of crispy pork skin
