DocChuck is less like the type who would eat gizzards, and much more like the type that will eat liver….your liver, that is, with some fava beans and a nice chianti. Hmm, both with PhDs, and the name ‘Treuter’ is even somewhat similar to ‘Lecter’

I didn’t even know I was getting profiled today. Thanks for nice comments and suggestions so far. Yeah, it was probably too long (that’s what she said).

@cds345, good suggestions on Kabab Cafe, BZ, and ZP. I’ve tried and liked them all. Sal and Kris is the first place in Astoria where I’ve been a repeat customer.

@Sandra, tried Sweet Afton Saturday but mostly drank. The frickles were unconventional, sort of like a pickle beignet. I’m going to have to try their burger. Djerdan is still there, I can see it from my front door!

@Cyn, dying to try that Arepa place. FYI, not far from there is a Brazilian market that serves pizza cones.

@flatrock, Little Morocco is amazing. I’ve had the Tunisian place down the street suggested to me as well (Carthage).

@DocChuck09, I hope you reconcile with your darling wife BigBear soon. It’s not every day you find a guy who will eat your gizzards for breakfast. Wishing you the best.

Welcome to Astoria! I am further up the N/W line, off Hoyt so my picks are closer to that end of Astoria. Nothing fancy here, Zorbas on 23rd Ave and 31st st is a real simple greek spot, but they do a panini with gyro meat, fries, peppers onions and cheese pressed on two pieces of pita. Petey’s on 30th Ave and 31st St is also simple but surprisingly satisfying burgers in the In-N-Out Style with hand cut fries (thinner than 5 Guys). For Mexican/Ecuadorian and other Central American food, keep an eye out for bodegas that also serve tamales, empandas and other random fare as well as hole-in-the-walls, they are hiding everywhere, especially along Astoria Blvd between 31st St and 21st St. Up on Steinway by the GCP there is a middle eastern place called Little Morocco that makes great merguez and kofta heroes with olives and harissa. Oh, and never tried it, but there is a place called Cevapapci on 34th ave and 39th st I think.

I suspect that a Legal Ninja with teeth like his will go VERY far in life.

The only redeeming characteristic of this Bozo that I could find, is that he “loves gizzards.”

But then a friend of mine in Atlanta (named ‘BigBear’) eats gizzards for BREAKFAST, and he is still a loser, especially in his choice of ‘girlfriends.’

In Astoria, go to King of Falafel – they at the Vendy’s this year too. Hope they can take down Rickshaw…

i agree with cds345 about Zlata Praha. Very good for Czech food.

If you live in Astoria, you must go to Arepas Cafe which is off the 36th Avenue stop. It’s on 36th ave between 33rd and 34th street. It’s less greasier that Caracas Arepas Bar and the fillings are more traditional without the wait.

Also, check out Kris, Sal and Charlie’s Deli which cds345 recommended! Happy eating.
