In NYC, there’s plenty of pulled noodle places, but unlike LA, which is heath department conscious with the infamous grades that can shut you down. NY doesn’t have this, and I wonder if they even have a health department sometimes. However, if they did, you wouldn’t have experiences like the one at Fuzhou pulled noodles. The guy above does this in the eating area. It’s grand and cool. It even makes a great slam sound. He does it over and over and it turns the place into a cool environment. You get something like performance art. The #1, beef noodle is 4.50. It’s simple in flavor, maybe too simple to the point that you’d add your own seasoning. It’s not the dish to get. Jya Jya Men is the one to get there. #11. I blew it, but I was in the mood for soup. It’s cold in NY right now. That’s what the noodles look like. I’m hearing this isn’t the best place to get handmade noodles, but at the same time, it’s not bad. The broth doesn’t match the noodles and that’s important. What’s noodles without the soup? 144 E Broadway. It’s in Chinatown Manhattan. I’m sure an OG Queens native would scoff at this.

You've all been. Of course it's overrated. It's a hot dog. How great can a hot dog be? Hot Doug's in Chicago is great, but Pinks is just a hot dog. You can even tell. Do you think that weiner is special? Is it hand crafted? No, it's from a pack of frozen weiners. The buns aren't home baked, it's from a plastic bag of buns. So why is it so crowded? Above is the "Rosie" by the way.

You’ve all been. Of course it’s overrated. It’s a hot dog. How great can a hot dog be? Hot Doug’s in Chicago is great, but Pinks is just a hot dog. You can even tell. Do you think that weiner is special? Is it hand crafted? No, it’s from a pack of frozen weiners. The buns aren’t home baked, it’s from a plastic bag of buns. So why is it so crowded? Above is the “Rosie” by the way. At my seat was a great sign. The main sushi man, Nobu. I looked up and there was this photo, signed of course. It’s the waiting in line, the atmosphere to anticipation. The hot dog is whatever, so-so, but the wait, and vibe of excitement is quite great. But why are there so many Asians there. I think the line was nearly 50% Asian. Are Asians followers of hype? I’ve been to Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles, and when I’ve been, there’s about 40-50% Asians eating there and tons waiting outside. I guess I’ve added to that, but the thing is, I don’t go back.

The coffee was coffee, the food, pretty good, but that's frickin Jonathan Gold. It's fun to talk about food, Asia, and beyond. Pepy's is in the Mar Vista Lanes Bowling Center, and he heard the chilaquiles and machaca was good. Look for JG will write for GR one day soon.

Pepy’s is in the Mar Vista Lanes Bowling Center, and he heard the chilaquiles and machaca was good. Look for JG will write for GR one day soon. It looks like something exploded on the plate. Brain matter on the bottom, rice is looks like it fell onto the plate from 3 feet up, and the multicolored egg from the foods mixed in. It was all pretty good.
