Rhong-Tiam Express Review: Roti wraps at Rhong Tiam Express

Rhong-Tiam was a Thai restaurant that had recognition in the NYTimes and even earned a Michelin Star. The recognition from The Tire Man was confusing to some, and rightly so. I actually went to Rhong-Tiam once two years ago. On the menu, they put little chili icons next to dishes to denote spiciness. I picked a noodle dish that had as many chilis as the star dish on the menu, Pork on Fire. Then I proceeded to scare Steph with how much a dude can sweat while attempting to eat dinner. Seriously, the waitress was scared by my face and brought me an iced tea, on the house. That's how crazy it was. But then Rhong-Tiam closed and a new shop, Rhong-Tiam Express opened up farther uptown. They traded their sit-down restaurant by NYU for a more casual take-out place in the Flatiron. Now Rhong-Tiam express...

C & L Dumpling House Review: Dumplings dumplings everywhere and not a bite uneaten

Today I read about someone drinking too much haterade against cupcakes. It's really weird how haterade develops. It seems that sometimes people just drink haterade against hype. At some point, it stops being about the product and it's just hate against the hype and the popularity. Take my friend Jeremy for example - he hates Shake Shack because it's a burger and no burger deserves an hour wait. But I maintain that if he could taste the Shake Shack burger in his favorite bar, and with minimal wait, he would declare it the best burger ever. So he doesn't actually hate the burger, he hates how much hype it gets, and that people are willing to line up for something like that. I think that kinda is the same thing with Magnolias cupcakes. Honestly, it's been a while since I've had one from there because...

Buttermilk Channel Review: Free drinks at the best brunch in Brooklyn

If an alien lands on Earth, comes to New York, the alien would be confused by why New Yorkers would stand outside of a restaurant for over an hour for lunch on Sundays. Are New Yorkers too good for Aunt Jemima? Does brunch gets people horny?. Brunch doesn't exactly get me hard, however I do find myself being part of the shuffle on the weekends. I broke my hour-wait cherry during my visit to Buttermilk Channel in Brooklyn. Never before had I voluntarily let over an hour pass before eating. In fact, I had always made it a priority to not wait on the weekends. After all, weekends come at a premium, why spend it waiting? But then I'd hear from friends about Buttermilk Channel and it came up while surfing blogs, and the noise just became too loud. An investigation had to happen. Why...
