BonChon on John (again)

I recently went back to Bonchon on John for post-happy-hour-munchies.  This time, we were hooked up to the ultimate since Cookie knew the owner apparently.  Awesomeness!We started off with an order of dumplings, which were alright.  Great snack type food but nothing mind boggling or game changing.  Sir Eats A Lot ordered a chicken and a beef taco.  I know he enjoyed these greatly, and I tried a bite of each and agreed they were pretty damn good.  Great sauce on both, and moist protein with a good tortilla.  Nom. Pretty standard fries.  The chicken, per usual, was deliciously [...]

Wafels & Dinges

Yet another one of my last days down in the Financial District, and the Wafels & Dinges truck finally showed up!  I was so excited to get to try them finally before I left for good.  (Actually, I’m pretty sure this was my last day ever down there, so it was excellent timing.)  I wound up having a long conversation with one of the guys working there while they made my wafel fresh… they were both very cool and fun to talk to, but of course, held my wafel hostage!  Yes… come to me, my preciousss A BACON [...]

BonChon on John

I’ve tried BonChon a bunch of times but always at parties or get togethers where I haven’t taken photographs and haven’t had to deal with the idiocy I’ve heard is involved with ordering from BonChon.  Besides, I was never so in love with the chicken anyway.  Blurry photograph of the menu.  It was super packed on the 2nd day it was open and the line was moving super slowly.  In fact, when I was 3rd on line, I realized why it was moving so slowly: the man at the cash register was answering the phone and taking those orders before [...]

Urban Lobster Shack

I’ve written about Urban Lobster Shack before, but I went there before my departure from the Financial District one last time to check out their new lunch special – $10 for a lobster roll and a Caesar salad.The lobster roll with container of cole slaw and Caesar dressing.
Caesar salad, which was alright, pretty standard, nothing amazing.  The dressing was really flavorful though – very garlicky and creamy, which was pretty cool.  Not sure if they make it themselves, but I wasn’t complaining.  The lobster roll, however… well, last time I’d complained that it was missing that sweet lobster taste.  This [...]

Burger Burger (Delivery)

One of those cold, yucky days around Christmas, a coworker and I were talking about lunch.  I asked her what she was going to eat, and we tossed ideas back and forth until we both decided to order out and eat at our desks (we sit next to each other).  We chose Burger Burger and quickly made up our minds.  I wanted to be bad, so I opted to start with jalapeno poppers.  For $5, I got.. five poppers.  Ummm.   They were good, don’t get me wrong, but at $1 each?  I think I’d pass next time.  Cheezy, gooey, oozy, [...]
