@ howard beale ii: are you sure that the sandwich to which your girlfriend referred at the bachelorette party was actually food?

My girlfriend’s had a Walgreen ham and swiss but she said the worst sandwich she’s ever had was at a bachlerette party. Maybe it wasn’t catered very well, I don’t know.

@ Vishal – you’re not exactly correct on your expiration date conclusion that the sandwiches are only good for 3 days. while it is true that the double cheeseburger bulkie had an expiration date of 1/25/09 on the wrapper, it does not mean that it was put out today (was probably sitting there for a week or two at least). if you look closer at the turkey and cheese sub wrapper you will notice that it has an expiration date of 2/5/09. you can do the math bud.

zach runs MidtownLunch, not Man vs. Food. there really is no reason to eat those sandwiches as zach says. even people on food stamps would be better served by $1 hot dogs and street card food. i ate the sandwiches for the fun of it and because i’ve eaten alot worse as a fraternity pledge.

Upon closer inspection they look no worse than what you would get at 7-11 and they do have an expiration date (they’re only good for 3 days according to the wrapper). Not that scary and not that big a deal.

Weak.

Thanks for the kind words Dougiec. I’m still tasting that double cheeseburger. It was abso-f’in-lutely disgusting. I’m scared to google what some of those chemicals are on the ingredients list. My wife just told me I’m sleeping on the couch…oh well, it was worth it.

W&D,

You’re good ppl by me. That turkey sub doesn’t look bad at all. And for 4 bucks, that’s a steal. The burger looks weak, and I know you only bought it for shock value, but a job well done. We can chill anytime. You’ve got yourself a new fan.

Zach, you are on thin ice. Step up to the challenge and reclaim some dignity.

When I first saw this site, you totally transformed the way I think about midtwon lunch. I never once tried Street Meat and now I eat it 2-3 days a week. Biryani Kart and Kwik Meal are my favorite places to eat. I get Indian buffet and food from a news stand because you told me to. There were two mottos: lunch under $10 and have an open mind.

Restore our faith in you and eat a sandwich. Please, for the sake of midtown-lunchers everywhere. I’ll gladly come with you for moral support if you want.

Sincerely,
DougieC
