Wonder how Pure Thai Shophouse feels about that? Probably the same way Kogi felt about Baja Fresh. [NRN via Eater]

Biryani Cart’s Juicy Wings Gets Tabled Until March: There's been some grumbling about the new Juicy Wings Cart (on 46th and 6th) being AWOL and yesterday Lunch'er Matt confirmed the bad news: "Just got back from the Biryani cart. They won't have any wings or cheesesteaks until March. They blamed the cold." Urgh. Another reason to hate the freakin' weather.

Last Chance For Choice Eats Tix: Choice Eats (aka the greatest tasting event of the year as far as we're concerned) has finalized their lineup, and tickets are definitely going to sell out. There aren't too many Midtown spots, but most of the places participating would be Midtown Lunches if they were in Midtown (i.e. cheap and freakin awesome.) Tickets are only $45... get em now while you still can.
