Comments on: Eating Shopsin’s Menu One Item at a Time: Treif, Moe II & Feather-Fried Potato Shreds w/ Jack & Hatch Chile http://nycfoodguy.com/2009/06/29/lower-east-side-adventure/ NYC's Most Delicious & Affordable Food Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:44:50 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: HowfreshEats http://nycfoodguy.com/2009/06/29/lower-east-side-adventure/#comment-3783 HowfreshEats Tue, 07 Jul 2009 23:37:22 +0000 http://nycfoodguy.com/?p=3765#comment-3783 Was here for the first time recently. True story, that menu freaked me out- shit is LONG. Didn't order the mac and cheese pancakes, but tried them- and I will definitely be getting those next time. The kasha varnishkes could have used a little more schmaltz. Looking forward to the next visit. Was here for the first time recently. True story, that menu freaked me out- shit is LONG.

(Not that I know what to order--TOO MANY options.) Or when you want to head out for a wing follow-up. Wriskit--just go away. Nobody wants you around, and Kenny is 10x (or more) the cook that you or I will ever be. And I am a decent cook, but nowhere near his league.

That French toast-bacon thing with the egg on top would develop into a compulsion and probably end up clogging up my heart and killing me. But I feel like Oliver Twist or something looking at that delicious picture. For once I’m glad I can no longer think about affording $14 for a sandwich.

Really, this is some crazy myth or it was spread by people who go into Shopsin's thinking they are the customer and therefore always right. This is not is "Denny's", it's a family that works really hard at making good food and providing good service without having to hold your hand while you eat. Dig?? Wriskit- you are the kind of person they would kick out...it is best that you do not go. The food is not meant to be consumed daily, in fact NO restaurant food is meant for that, I mean it is good to go here as an experience, but any intelligent person knows you would not eat here daily. But if you want to go crazy and eat something you would never usually try, this is the place for you. I mean, the doughnuts are prepared fresh per serving, as well as several other items. And when you get your plate, you see why the cost is that high, this is the only meal you will eat that day, so in the long run it is worth it. But, I don't need to convince you, since you will never go...thankfully. Before Sunrise- They would not kick you out unless you are an as*hole.

These dishes represent the kind of excessive portions that often lead to obesity, gross obesity, and finally morbid obesity. I have never been to Shopsins. I had never heard of Shopsins until now. I will be unlikely to ever eat anything cooked in Shopsins. Finally, these dishes a re a testament to the laziness of those who applaud these dishes. None of them require advanced cooking skills. These can all be cooked at home at a fraction of the price ($17 for briskit, sauteed onions, and melted jack cheese on a soft sweet bun...OMG.... how helpless are these NYCers???) I'm off to Ben's Best for a $12 world-class pastrami sandwich ... something I can't do myself.

A few months ago, I asked for feather shreds with hatch chilis. Zack made them for me but got upset and said that it screwed up the fryer or something. And now they seem to be on the menu (plus cheese). Yay! Heh. A few months ago, I asked for feather shreds with hatch chilis.
