At Lunch Now: Roast Pork Sandwich Edition (I’m A Terrible Jew)

IMG00307.JPG

What can I say?  I feel like if you are going to sin, you may as well do it up right.  I mean, if I’m going to eat on Yom Kippur- why not EAT on Yom Kippur, right? Two years ago I made a list of pork and shrimp dishes in Midtown that were worth going to hell for, and since that list still applies today- I decided to head over to Cafe Cello (on 46th btw. 5+6th).  Thanks to a lunch’er tip, I discovered that they are now serving a roast pork sandwich, made from their always amazing roast pork.  But don’t get too excited, it’s just pork on a generic looking roll with lettuce and tomato.  And they don’t press it or anything, so it’s not like a legitimate Cuban. I think I’ll just stick with my standard roast pork over rice and beans with plantains (and crispy pork skin of course.)  Like I said… if I’m gonna be bad, might as well be really bad. 

Bacon wrapped lobster for dinner anyone?

    To all the ML Jewish folk:

    If you have trouble remembering what to atone for ask your significant other, they have a list replete with dates and times.

    May your day of atonement be filled with misery.

    Thanks Sarah, how ironic that a paper so filled with them can’t bring themselves to print the word.

    I was thinking about the pork belly with chili garlic oil at Szhechuan Gourmet…

  11. @Yvo – If I ever update the list, that will definitely make it!
