I can't cook. None of my appliances work anyway. I eat at restaurants every day. I'm also always broke, so I get particularly irritated when I get ripped off by shitty food.
As a personal reminder to myself as well as a cautionary advisory to other people, I want to issue warnings against eating at the following eateries. Feel free to add your own.
(I'm only listing meals that I thought were totally inedible, not merely mediocre or slightly bad.)
*United Noodles/ Thai
349 E. 12th St.
Offender: (Takeout) - Shrimp Roll, Pad Thai, Basil Chicken
At first it seemed disappointly un-spiced, then distinctly rancid notes were detected. Chicken was overcooked, rubberly and full of tendony-hard-bits. Shrimp rolls were 90% cabbage. Insult to Injury - Every entree was a dollar more than comperable Thai places in the neighborhood, appetizer was $5 for 3 tiny rolls.
*Cremecafe/ Italian
65 2nd Ave
Offender: (in Restaurant) - Penne with Vodka Sauce, Margheritta Pizza
Obviously microwaved cafeteria-quality food, even the pasta. $10 individual pizza was indistinguishable from the generic brand heat-n-serve pizzas from the grocery story. Also the service at dinner time was slower than the (horrible) service at Sidewalk Cafe at 2 AM
