Famous Halal Guys and Five Guys Are Great Hangover Food
If you thought the Midtown Lunch commenters could get nasty, check out this comment on Something Awful asking for the best drunk/hangover food:
“Chicken and lamb over rice from a halal cart. Squirt enough harissa over it to scare the evil right out of you (and burn your o-ring when you’ve got the beer shits the next morning). Preferably from the 53rd & 6th cart.“
Another commenter agreed, and added his own recomendation:
“I would take that cart behind the school and get it pregnant. Drunk, I almost always swing Mexican. If not Mexican, then Five Guys.”
Nice.

Wow, sick fawker trying to violate cart? Things people “won’t” do when they’re drunk (sky’s the limtis?).
I don’t think he was taking about food when he said Mexican and Five Guys.
-
what’s next? A link to 4chan?
-
This kind of shit is what separates Zach from the lame food bloggers of the world (e.g. everyone else)
Next goal: ML on Fark

Digg. It’s what’s for dinner.
-
Oh god…4chan…
Well as long as we don’t see any links from /b/ I think this blog still has hope.
-
:rofl: @ 4chan and SA comments.
If Zach were to quote 4chan there wouldd have to be some sort of /b/ sign in front of a halal cart with some half naked girl posing. Get on that.
-
chris, please, let’s not go there :)

@Formz: It’s a trap!
-
does Zach have stairs in his house?
-

Most of us live in Manhattan so the answer is no we do not have stairs nor do we probably live in a house.
-
@Spam: Jersey City yo. Triplex. Lots of stairs.
-
@Spam:
I can agree that most of us probably work in Manhattan rather than living here.
-
I’m in Riverdale (NW Bronx). I’m not sure how much money I’d have to make for me to consider living in Manhattan. But if I had that much money, I probably wouldn’t be concerned with spending under $10 for lunch (I say that after treating one of my reports to lunch today at an indian buffet).

I live in “Five Guys” home territory and I had NEVER eaten in one of their dives until I found myself in York, PA., on the way to our resort in Bar Harbor, Maine.
We had a sudden hankerin’ (I guess that’s a Southen’ term that you Bronx types would have to Google) for a burger. We spotted a ‘Five Guys’ in York and decided to pull in.
What a joke. The ‘counterman’ couldn’t even understand our order, and we ended up with THREE orders of fries — THREE!
The burgers were way overcooked, and ‘mediocre’ would be a generous term for which to describe them.
Let me guess, ‘adamprato’ is an expert on FiveGuys and will tell me where we went wrong — LOL!
No thanks, we succumbed to temptation and made the mistake of eating in a fast-food joint. OUR FAULT!
Never again.
-
Nope. I think Five Guys is overrated (as is the burger joint).
But what’s funny is how everyone else in the world is dumb, but not CockChug09. He’s one smart cookie. He knows more than everyone else. Him and his fancy vocabulary, and his fancy hat to match.
-
Yeah, so smart he’s posting about burgers on a thread about halal food (?!).
Not to mention the fact that the master of communication who can rightly judge someone’s ability to grasp the English language expects everyone to understand why “THREE orders of fries — THREE!” is so outlandish when he never qualified what the quantity involved is for “we” and “our” (did you expect only two? Did you expect 5 because you were traveling with family?).
-
Ah shit, it’s in the friggin subject. Didn’t even notice that.
-
@CheeeeEEEEsssee epic lulz

unsubsribe

I meant “unsubscribe”

Well, ‘adamprato’, you are pretty good at “Didn’t even notice that” … a.k.a. running one’s mouth BEFORE putting one’s brain in gear.
Fact is, there were TWO of us, and my wife plainly stated to the idiot that she did NOT want any fries. So, perhaps you, in your New Yawk wisdom, could explain to me why I got THREE orders of fries.
Oh yeah, I am pleased that you like my hat. It is a Stetson (made in Texas) and the hatband is from a rattlesnake that made the fatal mistake of biting me in Kerrville. Since you are so infatuated with my hat, you could probably own one much like it for about $500 total.
I wonder if you would like my Australian ‘Kakadu’ leather hat as much??? LOL!
Cheers, prato.

It’s better to run your mouth before putting it in gear, than putting it in gear and starting off, from a purely automotive metaphor as this would stall the car. Next time, open mouth and insert foot.
-
CockChug09 – I freely admit and acknowledge that I make mistakes from time to time. I’m not embarrassed at all to admit it. I don’t post to blogs pretending I know everything *cough*
Okay, so for my “New Yawk Wisdom”:
- Assuming you didn’t pay for the fries (you said “I got” not “they charged me for”). Perhaps they were being kind and generous. I can see why such a concept escapes you.
- Assuming you paid for the fries, then there are two options. They took one look at you and said “this guy likes to supersize it” and acted according to their expert knowledge of their clientel. Perhaps they thought “her lips say no, but his eyes and spare tire say yes”. Or perhaps they did understand the order at first, but they then proceeded to make a mistake *gasp*
Cheers, CockChug

@adamprato – don’t feed the trolls. DocChuck is like that episode of The Simpsons where the giant billboard mascots come to life and the only way to defeat them is to ignore them.
Just ignore the trolls and they go away.
-
I am NOT surprised to find out that ‘chris6sigma’ receives his education and/or amusement from a cartoon series, i.e. ‘The Simpsons’.
But aside from such drivel, Mr. Prato, actually, I was “charged” for the fries, but did not notice the ‘charge’ until preparing to leave the restaurant (I rarely examine the bill, once I tender my credit card — a poor habit that I will have to correct).
The ‘manager’ refused to refund the price of the fries, although the Five Guys headquarters (with a bit of prompting from VISA) did correct the transaction to my total satisfaction.
Cheers, Prato.
PS. I am totally surprised to hear a New Yawka admit that he or she (or you, in this case) makes “mistakes from time to time.” So refreshing!

IF you had an amex Black card there would not of been a problem.You fat pikey grit sucking pikey.
Also…..i think he looks like chief wiggum, oink oink.
I thought I never see the day when I would see Something Awful being quoted here.
