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

@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)

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

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.

i wouldn’t even call her a comedian… she’s the least funny person ever! and has no taste buds…

iiii think she’s super funny during the comedy roasts but her stand ups are only so so. all she really talks about is banging black guys …

53rd and 6th has lost its edge. the chicken is flavorless and tastes steamed (giant pile on the flattop. gross). the gyro meat no longer has the mild caramelization it usually does. they’re riding solely on reputation at this point because the quality has dropped since my first tasting 5 or so years ago.

Is she calling it middle eastern food because the guys serving it are Middle Eastern (Or just as likely Pakistani, or North African). Or because people actually eat it in the Middle East? Because I’m not sure the latter is true.

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.

Anyone who uses the phrase “some weird Middle Eastern thing” to describe cart food doesn’t need to eat at street carts. And also doesn’t need to be in New York City.

The famous Halal cart has some delicious Halal, that is not to be debated. However, I gotta say, why wait on line when Shendy’s is right down the block and, well, more delicious?
