PROFILED: Midtown Lunch’er “Patrick”
Every Tuesday we turn over the site to a different Midtown Lunch’er for his or her recommendations for the best lunch in Midtown. This week it’s Patrick, a Maxim editor who’s not gay but has a man crush on Uncle Gussy.
Name: Patrick
Age: 35
Occupation: Editor at Maxim
Where in Midtown do you Work?: Midtown East
Favorite Kind of Food: Italian and Chinese
Least Favorite Kind of Food: Overcooked meat. It’s like, what’s the point?
Favorite Place(s) to Eat Lunch in Midtown: Fried Oyster Po’ Boy from Grand Central Oyster Bar, Double Cooked Sliced Pork Belly from Szechuan Gourmet (on 39th btw. 5+6th), Cuban sandwich from Margon (on 46th btw. 6+7th).
“Go-To” Lunch Place You and Your Coworkers Eat at Too Often? Uncle Gussy’s cart (on 51st and Park). The food is consistently good and–even though I’m straight–I have a total man-crush on the bald guy there.
Place(s) you discovered thanks to Midtown Lunch? The Trini Paki Boys Cart (on 43rd and 6th). I love doubles!
If you could work anywhere (just because of the lunch) where would it be and why? I’ve never been, but maybe Saigon? All the pho and bánh mì I could eat, plus I’ve always wanted to drink from a bag.
Anything you’d like to ask the Midtown Lunch readers? Is there anywhere in this city with decent Buffalo wings?
Go an answer for Patrick? Put it in the comments. And, as always, if you want to be next week’s Profiled: Midtown Lunch’er (or know somebody you’d like to nominate)? Email editor@midtownlunch.com.
