Yun Nan Flavour Snack Shop Review: Yun Nan Flavour Snack

There are people who blink when served with pork intestines as a topping and then there are people like me. This past weekend I was super excited to find that the noodles with crispy pork from Yun Nan Flavour Snack had crispy pork along with pork intestines as a topping. Normally I would say you can separate people into the ones who eat intestines and those who don't. But really, how many of you out there even like intestines? Seriously, it's not one of those things that's easy to like but when you've had good intestines...

Zabb Elee Review: Fried pork makes me happy

The night was fairly uneventful. I think it was Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Someone let Pat into the building. In addition to letting him in, the man followed up with the question, "Where are you delivering from?" The appropriate response should have been, "Chinatown, motherfucker!." But I guess he did open the door for Pat. Also, talking in your head sometimes works as well as talking aloud. Then I had an education on pronouncing Thai words.

I picked up some pork belly larb at Zabb Elee (in the East Village) for take-out, and had this conversation with Ming. Me: Oh I got some larb [i pronounced it like lard, but with a 'b' at the end]. Ming: What's that? Me: It's from...

La Vie En Szechuan Review: Spicy mapo tofu and weird credit card rules

Had this thought the other day, don't you think that liberals back in the 80s thought that in twenty years, all the hicks and hill billies will have kids that grow up to go to college and all this shitty closed-minded views would have changed? I'm 30 and you know, that's what I'm hoping for in 30 years. What is nice about present day is that you can find passable and delicious Sichuan or Szechuan food in many different restaurants in New York City. Hell, I've even had good Sichuan food in Detroit, that's how prevalent this has gotten. What I like about La Vie en Szechuan isn't so much that their food is better than their competitors or anything like that. They're probably on par with Cafe China when it comes to lunch specials. What I love is the name. Instead of going with...
