And they are just reasonable in price enough to cover your fuckin jury stipend for the day.
I once did Wxlers smoked sturgeon bagel, a taco carne asada from Tomas and Tombras and the mighty iconic GCM burger. And washed down with an iced latte for good measure.
“I cannot stand CH. Not only are they food snobs, they don’t know what they are talking about half of the time. They seem to just follow trends and if something gets too trendy, they say they hate it.”
“oh…i may be at the wrong site…I’m a food snob who follows trends and don’t know what I’m talking about 1/2 the time…plus, not so sure I’m related to fun…”
What can I say, I like the orange and they are available at just about every Mexican food joint. I usually stick with water or an agua fresca, but there’s something about fried pork washed down with soda that hits that soft spot in my heart. Probably the spot that’s getting clogged up with cholesterol.
this viewing of food establishments through das kapital - coloured lenses really puts the lemon right in my eye.
to paraphrase the duke, there’s two kinds of food, good or bad, regardless of who’s eating it.
Can I just say that the white bean spread with flatbread at madcapra is one of the best things I’ve eaten in recent memory? Even better than the white bean spread at pizzeria mozza. Boy white bean spread is good. And it’s the single best use of oil cured olives that I’ve ever encountered. And the green falafel salad was great too. I love how they smear the side of the bowl with the labneh. The food is beautifully and imaginatively prepared, and it’s delicious and healthy. Love love love Madcapra!
I was able to try the Wexlers tribute to the #19 (the MacArthur Park), and I thought it was pretty fantastic - it’s been a few years now since I’d had the OG (Langer’s #19) so it’s not really fair for me to compare these two but if memory serves, I’d have to say I swooned over the original a bit more. I think the Langer’s version is/was larger (but I believe it’s also more expensive so it should be?), I polished off the MacArthur Park without much trouble, loved that smoky, beefy goodness, esp. with a little of that spicy brown mustard.
I do like the sandwich at Wexler’s but I just wish they used better bread…I guess I’m spoiled by Langer’s….
You can’t have a great sandwich without great bread…
