Lisa Lampanelli Calls Famous Halal Cart’s Line “Bulls&*t”
Apparently comedian Lisa Lampanelli isn’t a fan of the Famous Halal Guys Cart on 53rd and 6th. From Grub Street’s “New York Diet” Column: “There’s a food cart by Sixth Avenue and 53rd Street and it always has twenty people in the line, so I say to my fiancé, “What the fuck is up with that place?” We ate there — some weird Middle Eastern thing. I think it’s beef, pork, chicken and yellow rice. I was like, “Not so much.” Then we tasted the guy next to him with no line and the guy with no line was better. See, it’s all bullshit! It’s all hype in New York!” Nice. I wonder if the cart with no line she went to was the one the SE corner? Because that would be comedy!

Yvo, there was this big fiasco where one of those gyro meat makers actually used pork in their products and sold it as ‘halal’.

I don’t know Groonge, we have people on this site that are otherwise normal but dislike japanese food (raises hand), chinese food, indian food, or “weird middle eastern thing”. I think not liking indian food or cilantro is weird, but I wouldn’t say that Goats doesn’t need to be in NYC :) She probably isn’t very experienced with middle eastern food, and moreso, if she were to experience it, her palate probably wouldn’t appreciate the typical flavor profile of middle eastern food.
For a comedian, she’s not very funny.
