Twitter is the New DOH

You know… maybe I don’t want to know. Some things are better left as “evidence of” as opposed to “actual sighting”. I had a pork noodle soup at Hing Won today (on 48th btw. 5+6th), and lord knows that place has seen its fair share of roaches. But they don’t have booths. Szechuan Gourmet has booths… don’t they? Do they serve pork noodle soup? I guess he didn’t specifically say it was Chinese food. Menchanko Tei (on 45th btw. Lex+3rd) serves ramen with pork in it. Technically that could be considered pork noodle soup… oh man, I’ve got to know!

This, you’re not going to believe. (Not so much where, but the “what happened next”)

I Thought Eric Ripert Cared: I'll admit I was kind of excited when I saw the words: "Hi, Midtown Lunch. Eric Ripert is now following your updates on Twitter." Too bad it was a big hoax.

Katie Lee Joel’s Favorite Midtown Lunch Is…

Bar American (sic)? No offense to Bobby Flay (I happen to think Bar Americain is a really good restaurant), but “best Midtown lunch restaurant”? Katie… sweetie pie… I have a whole website full of places you and Billy should check out before declaring any lunch in Midtown as “the best”.

Are Stomach Aches a Rite of Passage for the True Midtown Lunch’er?

That was twittered @midtownlunch last week. What do you think? I don’t want to jinx it but I have never gotten food poisoning or any sort of really bad stomach ache from my Midtown Lunch’ing. That’s not to say I’ve avoided “issues” entirely. (If you eat at carts often you are bound to have had an assplosion at some point, right?)
