L'As Du Fallafel Review: Awesome sandwich at L'as du Falafel

One of the worst deals required by society is college. Two things about college. One, I loved eating cheap food throughout college. The length that we went to eat cheaply probably crossed the line of legality at some point. Two, I didn't learn all that much. I can remember that in college, one time the assignment was to read Allegory of the Cave. To this day, I have no idea what the hell that story is about. This actually brings me back to point one, about cheap foods. One of the things that was consumed often was Mamoun's Falafel. It was close to campus and back then, it was just $2 for one falafel sandwich. While I loved their falafel as a youngin', I've come to appreciate other falafel sandwiches that layers the ingredients in a more organized manner. It also makes me think about...

Tertulia Review: On guilt and eating at Tertulia

Recently I tortured Steph into watching Game of Thrones with me. There's dragon eggs in that show, and I've previously told many of my friends that zombies are more believable than vampires. And I think that rule applies to dragons as well. You can sell me on The Walking Dead, but Game of Thrones...

Food Gallery 32 Review: Food Gallery 32 is convenient but not the best

Food Gallery 32 in Midtown New York is one of those things I really want to love but end up just liking it. It's like Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. In theory, I like watching shows about sharks, but when they start showing you real footage of a tiger shark nibbling on a man's calf, and then deciding that the calf was basically cheesecake of the sea, and rips the calf muscle off. And my mind gets fucked in a way that leaves me unable to fall asleep normally, because I'm such a pussy. So I really want to love Shark Week and Food Gallery 32 unconditionally, but there's just something about each that prevents me from loving it all the way. A good way to think about Food Gallery 32 is that it's a microcosm of Koreatown on 32nd st in NYC. You find...

Unbeatable Breakfast combination

My local Dunkin Donuts is doing some new product that's called pancake sausage bites or something like that. Basically it's a spherical sausage bite that's situated inside of a pancake enclosure. Did that make sense? In other words, it's pancake wrapped around a sausage. It's three pieces for one dollar and eighty-nine cents, so of course you know me. That's how I like to roll. I bought some just out of sheer curiosity because actually there's no way these things are going to blow me out of the water, and also at 63 cents a piece, the value proposition is shaky at best. You could buy two orders and get 6 thingies for two bucks, but the marginal utility of the pancake bites decrease as you consume more. Don't be fooled kids, just start with one order like me. These pancake sausage bites are ok. Really,...
