hyperbole, by j0rdan s.

Great performance from J0rdan in the EOY 2013 tracks threat. 60% of songs were met with "that's a classic song"

if you like music and don't think there are at least 20 classic songs a year i feel bad for you, son

^

that's a classic son

i saw this article in which gwyneth paltrow said "i would rather die than let my child eat cup-a-soup", i thought of this thread

every post on this thread has me like a family feud contestant — *applauds loudly* "good answer, good answer, good answer!" *applauds loudly*

this is not necessarily hyperbole but i think about this post all the time

yeah, good post

haha somewhat hoosian tbh!

i also think about this post all the time fwiw

I would dispute that her last album was better than C4 (or a lot of things) but then my non-Wayne Young Money interest is pretty limited, select Drake/Nicki songs/features aside. actually prefer hearing random Jae Millz/Mack Maine/Euro nevergonnabes spit solid verses on Wayne mixtapes to a lot of their material

c/p with zing thread

facts only

j0 friday

$6 for a taco is a moral obscenity

seems like the sort of thing that only people who buy $6 tacos in new york should care about

otm. A taco should be $2.50 or less.

def though i feel like most every major american city prob has a few places like this xp

I'd actually pay 6 dollars for a legitimately good taco in NYC--tacombi is pretty damn mediocre though so it's doubly insulting.

I'd pay $6 for an exceptional burrito

de Blasio should zone New York so that tacos can only legally be sold in Sunset Park and Sunnyside and nowhere else

a central point is that you can't have a good $6 taco, though. It's impossible.

omg @ women with salad

the central point is that you can't have a good $6 taco because they are so overstuffed/elaborate that they aren't even enjoyable to eat, which i bet is true for mostly all $6 tacos

U can get breakfast tacos in sa for 50 cents a piece. Nyers. Buncha jabronis.

what are the contents of this breakfast taco?

jordan otm. no hyperbole there, $6 is absurd. feel the same way about falafel, should be no more than $4 (though i will pay $6 for REALLY good falafel, e.g. amsterdam falafel in DC/Boston which has a self-serve toppings bar w/ a bunch of really good shit like roasted eggplants, baba ganoush, chili paste, pepperoncinis, a shit load of other stuff)

i would not pay $6 for a really good taco though, when you can get great tacos for $2.50

Which came first, Maoz or Ambsterdam? xp

stuffed as fuck too

sarge's central point stands strong tho tacos up here in dc is the same shit

people pay $6 for all kinds of food that is roughly comparable in size to a taco, people also pay $6 for a can of beer pretty regularly, I have no problem w/ people paying $6 for a taco

I mean I am not going to do it

i know this is changing and is already true in cities/neighborhoods with large immigrant populations (especially those with warm climates), but i really wish the US had a culture of cheap, snacky, but delicious street food. sometimes i don't want a whole meal and i don't feel like paying a lot of money, and i just want something tasty and good for less than $3 bucks. the US basically has chain fast food to fill in the need for cheap food but it's all garbage. i don't mean an overpriced food truck, lots of food trucks in boston just sell regularly priced meals, not snacks. just little stands that have good food.

pretty sure maoz came first, iirc amsterdam falafel (the actual restaurant and not the general concept) was based somewhat on maoz. not sure if maoz was based on something previous though.

I paid $10 for a torta last weekend, and this thread is giving me flashbacks

like if you go to mexico or peru there are little stands selling tamales, empanadas, etc. and they are all super cheap. i am not expected that cheap in the US, but something still cheap and small would be nice.

What, hot dogs not doing it for ya. $1.75 for a skinny wiener covered in Hunts is enough to fill anyone

maoz is a european chain started by israelis, not really based on anything

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

america has good street food everywhere it has good streets

Nah, most american food trucks are garbage

yeah, it's sad that most food trucks dump their low overhead into the paint job rather than passing it along to the customers.

new york is really the only place where you can get good hot food late for cheap because of halal carts

also poor countries are just going to have cheaper street food than rich countries, I mean even that dude selling empanadas in sunset park has to pay brookyln rent

and i guess LA too but i assume there's more driving involved whereas in ny you can basically walk out of any bar in manhattan/some parts of brooklyn and stumble on a $3 chicken pita or whatever

ah ok, i was totally wrong then

yeah but that's not because other american cities have bad food culture it's because they are just bad places in general

xp

The ubiquity of halal carts actually works against nyc imo, need more taco trucks

Nyc probably barely cracks the global top 50 in terms of street food imo
