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!

    she’s not funny and wouldn’t know good street food if it fell on her.
    and, that dating black guy thing is her schtick.
    she does not date them. she was part of what I’d call the “un-PC”* comedians of the past 9 years or so.
    these are B-list comedians on comedy central. most were on the old colin quinn show.
    * I hate that term PC and we know who invented them, probably teabaggers.

    This is the most racist/sexist comment thread I’ve seen here in a long ass time. Way to go, guys!

  • @rax – In fairness to the commenters Lisa Lampanelli’s entire stand up routine is based on calling herself a “fat” “whore” who loves to “bang black guys”. Her words, not mine. (Just an fyi)

  • ok, so her brand of ‘comedy’ (shock value) isn’t for everyone. kinda like dane cook, or bob sagat, and to a lesser extend silverman, and dangerfield. i know, none of these aforementioned are on the same level as each other but they do exist, to some extent, within the niche.

    i still have to agree that there are better halal carts than 53rd and 6th. they will always be on my top 3… it’s just that the quality isn’t consistent
