Hot Doug's
Jonathan is dropping by again for another guest post. Since I am a lazy butt and spent half of yesterday wandering around NY looking for my apartment keys... stupid story, no details necessary, so no haiku until later. For now, read some coherent writing for once! Mmm.. hot dogs... oh and Jonathan, if I induce hot dog cravings, you should just hope I never take pictures of cheesy poofs...
It just seems like I’ve been waiting in a lot of lines lately. As I sit here now on the floor of the AMC 21 waiting to watch The Dark Knight, whose tickets are harder to get than Mylie Cyrus tickets last year (not that I’d know), I keep thinking about the lines I’ve been in over the past few days. Not surprisingly, all the lines have revolved around food. First, there was the run to Hot Doug’s to fulfill the foodinmouth-induced hot dog craving; next, there was the chef frenzy of the Green City Market Chef’s Summer BBQ Festival.Hot Doug's is continued here...

L'Ecole and the New York Culinary Experience
I used to walk by the French Culinary Institute all the time when I lived down in Chinatown. It never occurred to me to eat at L'Ecole. Why? Who knows, maybe it was because I was young and in college, and fried chicken from a cart in Chinatown was enough sustenance. Or maybe it was because I studied computer science and it pained me to eat food that was prepared by individuals who pursued their dreams while I debugged while loops over and over and over... Now that I am older and no longer bitter (HA!), it is easier to appreciate culinary student prepared food from L'Ecole.

Shanghai Mong
There are many instances when you would want a "two for one" deal. When you buy cookies, cupcakes, and rain boots because what are you going to do with just one boot? Maybe you could use it as a flower pot. Very rarely do yo encounter a lunch special that lets you sample two dishes at once (think: General Tso and Beef and Broccoli, how awesome would that be?!) Lucky for me, Shanghai Mong offers their best noodle dishes into one item on the menu: Za Jiang Mein and seafood noodle soup.

Olive oil haiku
Sometimes these haikus just write themselves. This past week I saw Robyn talk about gelato at Otto and I remembered how awesome the olive oil gelato was, and poof! Haiku! The only problem was that at first I just did another 5-7-4 haiku and had to retake the picture. Seriously folks, sometimes I feel really retarded. Like, give me an adult diaper kind of retarded. Wait, is that politically incorrect? Oh well.

Fast Food Nathans
There are certain things in life where you should accept no imitations or substitutes. Some examples are: ipods, safe cars, real live women, and good food. Ok, so I sneaked one in there, but this is a Sunday post. Boo hoo. Anyway, a quick look at my blogroll tells me that the Nathan's in Coney Island has a great hot dog. And I see these Nathan's fast food chain around and it just made me curious. I was kind of sorry that I did though.
