Falafel Bar on Allen is disgusting
Category: food
Last month I went there for lunch and had really, really bad tasting
chicken. i didn't write about it because I thought it might just be a
fluke. Not the spices in it, it was the chicken itself. Then today,
after a long boycott (e:enknot) convinced me to go back as Panaro's was
closed because we were so late.

I wasn't paying total attention to the chicken schwarma I was eating
when I realized it was chewier than cooked chicken should be. I wiped
it off and it was tottally, 100%, no excuses, fucking pink and raw.

I am so nervous that I will get sick tonight. One thing I know for
sure is that I will never, ever again eat there and will gladly tell
everyone I know about my experience. The first time was crazy enough,
but today was ridiculous.

I was never served raw chicken there but I agree that place sucks.
lilho - 11/26/09 11:49
alright your posts are always so sick, but i enjoy it. i love raw foods, but chicken should never ever be raw. never.

That happend to me at gabriel's gate once. I got a sanwich that reeked of and tasted like chlorine. It was like they had wiped the counter off in bleach and then cleaned it up with the bun.

  • have had

Maybe I should have written about my boycott of that place - but it slipped my mind. I have falafel sandwich there three times. The first time was when they opened - that was pretty good.

But the second and third time the falafel smelled STRONGLY of chlorine and was raw at the core. I know falafels are slightly tough to get right because the outside cooks faster than the core and you need to fry them at low temp but it seemed to me they were too impatient to do that - the results were atrociously bad. That restaurant has been on my boycott list for a good 4-5 months now.

I hope you sent it back or said this is a health hazard and refused to pay for it. If the onwer finds out about this, both (e:leetee) and I think that heads would roll.
He takes his restaurants food very seriously. He pushes his staff very hard when he is around. And we think some of them slack when he isn't around.

In the long run, you would be doing him a favor by contacting him about the problem.

That is so f'ing gross! I seriously can't believe they gave you a piece of raw chicken. I hope the owner sees this.

I am so excited for tonight
Category: dancing
Hope it fun and not too damn crowded. I kind of hate soundlab when
it's packed. I wonder why they would pick such a small venue.

Yes (e:tinypliny) tonight is said to be the biggest drinking night of the year. Again remember that St. Pat's is drinking during the day, New Years Eve is big to but that is all about the countdown. Hope eveyone has a great time my lame ass will be inside at home.
lilho - 11/25/09 18:20

mike - 11/25/09 17:48
me and my 6,000 friends all just got tickets so hopefully that doesn't crowd it up too much?
terry - 11/25/09 17:37
we are not going to be able to move for sure, when i saw that it was on the cover of AV, i cringed.
tinypliny - 11/25/09 16:43
Fat chance. Isn't today biggest party night or something of the sort?

lilho - 11/26/09 11:51
i think its sketchy when you speak in foreign languages. plus you look kinda like a terrorist.
tinypliny - 11/25/09 12:31
Well... you *are* attractive.
paul - 11/25/09 10:19
On the way home from the gym Terry stops there to bit beer. I am usually carrying a lot of stuff so I wait outside. That's when the crazies always manage to find me.
tinypliny - 11/25/09 02:11
Why do you wait there anyway? To cross the road? You could easily cross at North & Delaware and avoid that corner altogether.
paul - 11/25/09 01:35
No its the random people I meet waiting Outside.
tinypliny - 11/23/09 22:31
Either I am completely missing something or maybe I am all sketched out - but what exactly is sketchy about that picture - the "No Loitering" sign. Don't they have it almost everywhere now?!
