Ask ML: Is Something Up With Shendy’s?
I got this email a few weeks ago from Lunch’er “Carolyn” and forgot to post it:
My colleagues and I are big fans of Shendy’s on 6th and 52nd (even before the hit it big in Street-Meat-Palooza 2009). We’re concerned about changes we’ve seen of Shendy’s as of late and is wondering whether Midtown Lunch can get to the bottom of it. I’d say this has been going on for about a month now, I’ve noticed the following:
1. New guys at the cart at lunch time– who are not as fast or streamlined.
2. The worst offense– their chicken taste has changed. I believe that they now use red bell pepper that I don’t remember seeing before and it really throws off the taste.
3. I’ve also gotten other reports about Shendy’s, including: switched from rectangular to circular containers, serving bread with the meal, new yellow rice recipe, different white sauce, and slow SLOW serviceSOMETHING IS UP!
Anybody else noticed anything out of the ordinary?

I agree completely! I used to go all the time and most recently a week ago – the chicken tastes different, the line (@2PM past the lunch crush) was slow and barely moved. Waiting 25 minutes for street meat when there’s only 4 people in front of you? C’mon that’s insane
