At Lunch Now: I’m A Tad Bit Nervous…

So, I’m about to enter the cauldron of doom. My stomach has been tested and pushed to the limits time and time again… but nothing holds a candle to Tad’s Steaks, the bastard child of Midtown Lunch’ing. The only place that makes you think “some things just shouldn’t be that cheap.” But the challenge was issued, so I must oblige.

If I don’t make it, you’ll know I went out doing what I love best: eating disgusting food in Midtown Manhattan.

Zach you said you were going to be a father! Don’t risk everything for Midtown Lunch even for that ultimate challenge “Tad’s Steaks”. Think of your unborn child. You have responsibilities now. PLEASE!

I’ve enjoyed reading this blog for the past 2+ years. It’s a shame it’s all coming to an end.
Thanks for all the suggestions, Zach. Rest in peace.

@Nancy - Sorry Mom, I didn’t mean to worry you.

having eaten “beef” kabobs from a roadside stand in northwest vietnam — someone told me later that vietnam bought all of the slaughtered GB mad cow beef shortly before my arrival — i think all of your RIP comments concerning lunch at Tad’s are a Tad overblown.

“stan:i think all of your RIP comments concerning lunch at Tad’s are a Tad overblown.”

It’s a little know thing called humor stan.

Thank god he’s alive.

Rumour has it Gaysuperman would of staged a coup of the site if the Zachster had popped his chubby clogs.

I absolutely second the Strip Club Buffet memorial! Blondie - Shall we start the planning process? Invites, eulogy, testaments to Zach’s stoic bravery in the face of chain restaurant meat evilry…there’s just so much to do.

mamacita — i am very aware of a little known think called humor. 15 RIP comments are 14 too many and not particularly funny. McBagel’s comment about treating Sarah, very funny.

Stan, everything Rudy says is funny, or else he wouldn’t be Rudy.

To re-focus this, wasn’t that garlic bread soaked in the butter sauce good? I liked Tad’s, I am not ashamed to admit it (well, maybe a little), so Pfffffft to all you Tad Bashers

Did Zach make it? If Tad’s is as bad as people are saying it is then hopefully he has 2nd thoughts. I;m new here…but I must say that I have enjoyed reading his various reviews. Good luck Zach!
