Saddest Losses of the Year: 2010 Reader’s Poll
It’s time for the 4th Annual Midtown Lunch Readers’ Poll. Your nominations are in, and between now and the end of the year we’ll be asking all of you to vote for the best Midtown Lunches in a whole range of categories. You can only vote once per category (so choose wisely), and official results will be posted after the new year.
As 2010 comes to a close it’s time to take a look back at the saddest losses of the year… our Academy Awards photo montage of death, if you will. (Feel free to put on Wind Beneath My Wings in the background as you read the rest of this post.) Some were surprising, some not so much- and for the first time ever, we mourn the loss of more than just restaurants, but an actual reader. Indian pizza, mall food court bourbon chicken, pizzacones, chinese buns and the rest… we’ll miss you all in one way or another. Here are the nominees for the saddest loss of 2010:
- Bombay Eats
- DC Fusion Cafe
- K! Pizzacone
- Las Poblanitas
- Mantao Chinese Sandwiches
- Rudy McBagel
- Spoon City
- Sukhadia’s Gokul
Vote for the one you’ll miss the most, after the jump…

Votes for Pizzacone and Mantao? Those people must be smoking chronic like Dr. Dre used to.
-
If you loved making fun of Pizzacones, maybe that’s the one you’ll miss the most!
Different people mourn in different ways…
-
I didn’t love making fun of it like others then. Plenty of criticism though. Pricey abomination.

Pizzacone was a blessing.
-
A bunch of restaurants vs. a human being? Just how jaded do you think we are?
-
3 way tie btw Rudy, Las Poblanitas and Las Palomas.
-
Happy Well Being Cart :(

RIP Rudy McBagel—this is the only loss I am saddened by. K Pizzacone–smh–never could get myself to try it, and I have no regrets.
-
What, no Cock Chug?
Oh, right – that loss wasn’t sad, twas joyeux
Rudy lives on in all of us

Go Buck a Fuffalo.

Do deleted comments count as saddest losses?
“Are you a ladyboy?”
– Rudy to a Tuesday Luncher
-
I miss him more than any pizzacone
-
I vote Rudy
The apparent departure of DocChuck is one of the happiest things about 2010 for me, personally
-
Didn’t we lose Zach in NYC this year (early)?
Or was that last year?
-
That so true! I should have been included in this poll! Who’s in charge here?!?! Oh wait… nevermind.

The biggest loss was definitely the loss of the Hallo Berlin Cart. I will miss it forever. The store’s just don’t give the same toasty bread and burnt german potatoes as the cart did
Vote for Rudy or Yvo will punch you in the FACE!
