Comments on: Been Caught Shilling: Et Tu Kwik Meal? http://midtownlunch.com/2009/02/06/been-caught-shilling-et-tu-kwik-meal/ Food Adventures for Your Urban Lunch Hour Fri, 12 Mar 2010 00:37:54 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Bar Y http://midtownlunch.com/2009/02/06/been-caught-shilling-et-tu-kwik-meal/comment-page-2/#comment-190492 Bar Y Tue, 10 Feb 2009 21:31:36 +0000 http://midtownlunch.com/blog/?p=3808#comment-190492 Had the lamb and rice today. I'm now a big fan of the green sauce. I also prefer the chunks of lamb over the gyro. Muhammad was there telling me about the "chewy lamb" problem and the supplier change and how business is down because of that. He said he might not be able to keep the cart in that location if business does not pick up. I'd like to see him survive because its pretty convenient for us East Siders. For what it's worth, I thought the lamb was fine. Had the lamb and rice today. I’m now a big fan of the green sauce. I also prefer the chunks of lamb over the gyro.

I tried the falafel and the lamb, and then ordered the lamb over rice. The lamb was really quite good. I agree with the earlier comment - nice guys, clean cart. I don't usually order street food, but these guys won me over with their effort and service. I give them a pass on the shilling - like the rest of us, they're just trying to survive right now.

Two guys working, looking around. No customers at all. Probably doing what it takes to drum up any business. Walked past the cart on Friday at about 1:30pm. Two guys working, looking around.

They don't need people shilling. I buy lunch from the 6th Ave. cart at least twice a week and was over the moon to see a 3rd Ave. cart. My only complaint with 3rd Ave. is that the line moves kind of slow since it's usually just Mohamed. I don't eat lamb. Any recommendations on what else I should try? SMH at this.

He must be feeling really burned by his lamb supplier to resort to this. Oddly enough, it makes me want to pick up some Kwik Meal/Quick Delight next week. I'd bet on maximum deliciousness.
