I just had it today for lunch. There was definitely a hint of grilled flavor to the chicken but I don’t see how it could have made top 3. Must have been a fluke. If they make the cut, I’m sure the blind taste tests at SMP5 will reveal much about their lack of consistency.

I nominate Little Morocco on account of they’re still my go-to, and I want to see how the possible downward spiral shows up in the rankings.

Alas, if you read the rules, #3 defines midtown — although I can’t imagine you came to a site called Midtown Lunch expecting that Union Square is in Midtown.

I nominate the generic cart on 14th St and University Place. Their lamb over rice is very flavorful. They cut their lamp from a a big rotating piece of meat, not some unknown patties. They also have 2 options for rice, one is the regular saffron rice and the other one has a orange/redish color which I assume is from nutmeg and cinnamon.

I would like to nominate Trini Pak Boys and the cart on the SE corner of 40th and Broadway (don’t know what they call themselves)

I nominate Uncle Gussy’s, hope I get selected as a judge, hope I get selected as a judge, hope I get selected as a judge…

I had Uncle Gussy’s last week for the first time in a while, and I forgot how good their combo is. IMO, they are a huge favorite to win it this year. The only strike against them is the subpar rice, but their sauce really pushes them over the top.

Jimmy’s Spot on 47th between 2nd and 3rd! Give midtown east some love. I’m nominating this place for their quality- the platter comes with rice and salad, which is actually MIXED GREENS (rather than some junk limp iceberg) and has little pieces of red onion, carrot and bell peppers. Plus they offer salad dressings- balsamic vinegar & oil, Italian dressing ect! I know your cut off is 3rd but give it a chance! Make it a nomm!
