He's locked in my basement.
In other news, can anyone recommend a good skin lotion?
-
No loss. Way overrated imo. (OK, based on the two times I got food there. Was not impressed. My home-cooked burgers are even much better than what comes off his griddle/grill.)
-
the burgers are okay. Not the best but a good deal though - cheap burger option basically.
his chicken w. rice is better than the Dragon IMO. Tzatziki sauce FTW!
-
warm vanilla sugar from bath and body. they also make an exfoliant!
-
The Little Morocco cart's chicken/rice has it all over CJ's.
-
Looks like the stevenp auto-post anti-CJ agent is up and running.
Can it explain how what stevenp claims it can cook at home is the least bit relevant to finding lunch in midtown?
-
I find myself biting my tongue everytime StevenP comments. I think he's looking to be a housewife.
-
Just like my Mom always told me "If you dont have nothing nice to say Shut the FoCk up".

Little Morocco's isn't greek though. And I would not count them as the best halal plate in Midtown. I liked them up til the last time they didn't give me fries or beans on my combo but I did go super late. Haha. I'll likely eat them again some other time for dinner. LM has good harissa hot sauce but their white sauce has nothing on CJ's tzatziki sauce. Quality of meats is about the same (LM has better lamb, but CJ has grilled chicken!) and none of the carts have a superior rice over the other like basmati rice at XPL or Kwik Meal.

D, MikeNYC: whatever.
Point is, if *I* can cook a burger at home that clearly outdoes Carnegie John's, than CJ's ain't so great. And I stand by that opinion. (Yes, D, I escaped the midtown cubicle-dwelling sub-reality, and can actually cook real food for my daily repast. I have sympathy/pity for you, but don't go where you are intent on venturing.)
And after working all over Midtown for about 8+ years (and reading/commenting on ML for 3+), I'll just suggest that you both crawl back under your respective rocks. Quietly.

I can and do cook I just dont constantly bash places beause I can do a better job, since I dont have a kitchen in my office and no one cares if I can cook a mean burger the same way they dont what you can cook. Now go bake me some cupcakes before I smack you.

Yeah. That's likely to happen.
Let's see: I can make a tuna sandwich better than almost any deli. So...it follows that all must suck and if you mention any other of these shitty tuna sandwiches, I'm just going to auto-post how much they suck. I'll do that every single time someone brings up any obviously inferior tuna sandwich. After all, my tuna sandwich, made by me, in my own kitchen, is so damn good, it's like a neutron tuna sandwich bomb: no other tuna sandwich can exist or be discussed, because of the vertex of tuna sandwich awesomeness created in my kitchen.
AND somehow because I've worked in midtown for 10+ years, it logically follows that MY opinion on MY awesome tuna sandwich is obviously superior and trumps any others; obviously holders of other views simply haven't worked in midtown long enough to know what a GOOD tuna sandwich tastes like. Anyone with taste and a long term midtown work history would obviously KNOW of my superior tuna sandwich, and avoid all others. Others which are, prima facie, complete crap and not worthy of discussion.
And I'm going to say this every single time anyone mentions another, obviously lesser, tuna sandwich.
Every. Single. Time.
Because that's the kind of guy I am, and because I'm the kind of guy who says stuff like this: "if you don't like it, STFU and get under a rock."

Friday night fights moved up on 12:30 pm! Daaaammmmnn!
Speaking of little morrocco, I need to hit that place up again! Good stuff! And VERY hearty!
