There are no DocChuck wannabes….no one wants to be anything remotely like what you are

When the “real” DocChuck posts on this (or any other blog) he uses his avatar and a link. He does NOT post anonymously as the cowardly imitators known as Louise Bresia, Jerzee Tomato, and various other SE “DocChuck” wannabes — LOL.

And, if Zach wants to know who they are, he can ALWAYS check out the IP addresses, “ben.”

Cheers.

Its funny cause I go to Midtown comics ALL the time and never noticed that store under it.

Bummer I’ve eaten there for years — the food was good and fresh. It went downhill after the regular cook guy left a few months ago and the raised the prices. He would say “Babaganoush President Boosh” and “How you feel — falafel?” In the summer he had the hottest job in the world standing right in front of those huge kebab heating elements.

“the Sahara Grill is a place that you may not have eaten at- but you’ve definitely walked by”

Perhaps that’s why they shuttered. I work a couple blocks from them and the sad state of the fruit they sold outside made me underconfident about the quality of the food inside.

(shivers going up my spine) Zach, I get the feeling he’d rather do OTHER THINGS to you than kill you.

Zach is more of a man than Ed Levine will ever be.

Thanks for posting this, Zach. I wish that you had a chance to try this place. Like you said, this is a hole in the wall that everyone walks by, but rarely tries! Sahara regularly had a line out the door at lunch for take-out (ok, this place was tiny and had only a couple of bar stools in the back, so that’s not saying much), but it did have a decent sized crowd every day. The food was good, the counter people were friendly and most importantly… this store wasn’t a big national chain. I’m wondering how many other old-time holes in the wall are going to fall victim to recession?

My co-worker and I decided to give this place another chance today, but once again, we could not get service. How rude! MY coworker agrees with me, and we will not be returning
