Midtown Lunch in The Paper of Record
I don’t even really know what to say. I started Midtown Lunch three years ago this week as an excuse to stuff my fat face during lunch. And somehow that has lead to this? It’s kind of ridiculous.

i very very rarely comment but i’ve been reading this since whenever you did the quest for the best falafel (way back when). i’m so happy they profiled you in nyt! you totally deserve it. whenever my friends are at a loss of where to go for lunch i send them random links to your site :)

Holy crap, anyone else go by the biryani cart today? The line was insane even by their usual standards.

I hate you, Milkman Zach.
Line at the Halal Guys cart shouldn’t be the entire length of the CBS Building.

with you since the very early Hing Won days. You’re a natural story teller and it might be time to write a book. Congrats, Zach!

Wow – Zach really does look a bit like Liv.
Congrats Zach! Thank you for continuing to do god’s work, and for the extra 25 pounds.

2 fucking hours on the phone with that “reporter” and NONE of my interview was even mentioned?
I guess that’s to be expected with a rag like the NYT. How quick they are to take offense at my worldview. No wonder they’re going bankrupt.

And you’re above the fold too, godfather! Now I’m hungry for kati rolls. And I’m next time I bring cupcakes in Midtown in my Midtown Lunch recommended courier, I’m totally making you meet me for one! It should be soon, and they may be peanut butter s’more cupcakes.

Well done! You are a beacon of hope to bloggers like myself who hope to find the holy grail of affordable food. Greetings from Germany and keep up the good work!

Nice work Zach! congrats

Way to go, Zach! Has it really been three years?

The only interviews DocChuck does is with his parole officer and with the person who renews his Arkansas food stamps every month

My sincerest congratulations and thanks for the great work you do. My parents have been living one block from both Halal carts since before there were halal carts and I’ve never had the courage to visit either during my visits. Now, thanks to you, I have a way to feed my own face while avoiding tourists and chain joints.
Congrats, Zach! Very excited for you since I have loved this site from the beginning. Hope it leads to many many great things!
