I don’t know about Wayne, but I’ve been hanging out in the Gold Room with LLoyd, the best goddamned bartender from Timbuktu to Portland, Maine. Or Portland, Oregon, for that matter.

This week Fred was unable to comment as he was preoccupied in Venezuela, pasting up Chavismo posters. ¡Patria, Socialismo o Muerte!
-
Dave:
If you could only focus your mind long enough, you too could aspire to greatness. Alas, it is not to be.

Anonymous reports have come in that Fred is still hung over from over-indulging in vodka & rum during his beloved May Day celebrations.

I was trying to summon him like Beetlejuice. I didn’t think of the mirror, and there probably should be some candles and animal blood also, come to think of it.
-
Dave:
If you light the candles, I’m sure when Fred arrives there will be plenty of animal blood.
-
-
-
Dave:
Maybe he met up with that Doubletree cookie “chef” on the third anniversary of her appearance on Midtown Lunch?
-
Pretty sure I spotted Comrade Fred on the news last night, looting a case of Metamucil from CVS. Without Street Meat in his diet to keep him regular he’s gotten desperate!

Dave:
When I move to Midtown, that’s tops on my list. Until then, you’d get reviews of the two or three carts that still seem to exist near home, and that isn’t much help.

That’ll teach me to create a new thread for my FOTW sentiments (14 minutes prior to yours).

Late by a day but still ahead of the dwindling attention spans of the last remaining Freak Holdouts of the Week!

Dave:
I thought about posting yesterday just to be that asshole, but I gave you all day today to be fair.

Freak of the week! Second week back at virtual school (aka anyone else want to start an AA group) edition
-
Dave:
Freak of the Week!
And next week I’ll be back in the office, so fingers crossed there are plenty of places left to get a Midtown Lunch…
-
-
Dave:
The two Mexican women are serving up good cart food on 50th, and the “impostor” Halal cart is still as good as it was 6 months ago, so my first week back is off to a good start.
Oh, also, FREAK OF THE WEEK!
-
Thanks. Wayne, if you’ve been in, how’s the situation by Grand Central?
-
Dave:
Seven days back, seven different places eaten, six carts (plus Park Italian because chicken parm). What a time to be alive. Glad I’m not the FREAK OF THE WEEK!

Freak of the Week! ‘Is it sad I miss Pret’s Thanksgiving sandwich’ edition
-
Dave:
Hot tip from The Fried Kitchen stand in Rockefeller Plaza, they of a delightful fried chicken/cheddar waffle sandwich: there will be a Thanksgiving sandwich “soon,” if all goes well.
There are several very tasty-looking options in that little pod of vendors from the Night Markets the city used to have. Worth the visit.

I went in last week, had my Pret thanksgiving sandwich. It was rainy so I didn’t walk around
-
Dave:
Since at least last week that little Night Market pod has not set up. I can’t imagine it was particularly lucrative anyway.

My alert just went off that someone owned the Top 4. Off the throne with you, dbug !

What fresh hell is this? I go away for a few weeks and I get usurped?

Dave:
Just keeping the lights on here.
Brought to you by the letters Freak and Week, of the.

Dave:
Now let’s test to see how long it takes wayne’s alert to go off when someone owns the top 4….

-
Dave:
The terrorists have won.
Also, I’ve only got about 7 trucks/carts in my rotation this winter. It’s sort of depressing.
-
I miss halal. I keep forgetting there’s a Pakistani-owned pizza place nearby that has a respectable combo over rice.

Freak of the week! “Watch that first step, it’s a doozie!” edition

Dave:
I’ve no shortage of Pakistani food when I am not at work, but Pakistani pizza… hmm…

Sigh … guess you slackers are leaving it to me this week.

Did you really wait until the end of the day, hoping someone else would step up? How altruistic.

Thanks for stepping up while I took some time off for my birthday and also COVID!

Freak of the week! The “I’m both sober, and up early today” Edition !

-
Dave:
Thanks! One unpleasant week and a half, followed by travel, but now I’m fine and I’ll get my shots to finish the job soon. Meantime, no Midtown Lunches for me this month!
I see wayne is back attempting to foil everyone’s comment domination plans, so all is right in ML-Land.

Glad you’re well Dave … we can’t afford to lose any more commenters. dbug and I were going to recruit Irv if you croaked

FREAK OF THE WEEK
The “I’m not remotely ready to visit Rudy yet” edition
-
Freak of the week!
The “Rudy would have had an awesome comeback” edition
-
I had a comment in before, but it’s waiting for moderation. The only reason I can think of is I mentioned a much hated former commenter (initials DC)
-
you mean the commenter formerly known as DC… DC is with Rudy I believe, croaked about a decade ago
-
-
DC definitely hovering between fraud and treachery, while being beaten like a pinata. Rudy is straddling lust & gluttony … and a Liv Tyler look-alike… and loving every minute of it.
-
Dave:
Liv-Prime would be repeatedly taking bites out of Rudy’s McBagel, but that’s kind of his fantasy so the joke’s on her, really.

Dave:
It doesn’t appear that new comments make it to the “Last Four” any more. Even worse, maybe new comments only appear to the person who wrote them! Maybe Wayne and Fred and everyone else have been commenting away and I just can’t see their responses! FOMO! FOMO!
-
-
Dave:
Hm, it could be that when I post a link it doesn’t get listed in the Last Four. This is a test of that theory.
Everyone still around? We haven’t lost Wayne, have we?
