Goin with peruvian avocado shrimp cream

apparently this place had a following in NYC though i've never heard of it in my life.

my basic question, not knowing the size of the restaurant or how many covers they could do, is how did a place that was only open for 5 hours a day 5 days a week have all of these ingredients available and fresh?

Gonna have to go with Danny & Laura

I wonder how often you just got told "yeah we're out of that today" no matter what you ordered.

Actually I take that back having just read their Yelp page, wow.

just a bowl of frosted flakes for me, thanks

I need to see the full soup menu. Or at least the “ying/yang soup” menu

mark my words: i will try every item at this restaurant

please support my patreon

mac n cheese pancake appears to be the draw

pecan ebelskivers

Hoisin-fried goat cheese egg-coated paratha ftw.

lamb potato fig mint curry

i dont care if or where commas may be

all i can see is Gordon Ramsay throwing a fit tbh

I saw a documentary about this place years ago, it's called I Like Killing Flies (unappetizingly). I think I made mac & cheese pancakes/waffles after seeing it.

Is this how much cafe food costs in NYC? Remind me to never visit

I will have 3 mini burgers served in mac 'n' cheese pancakes, please.

SPECIAL! black cherry malted plus: kale, pumpkin burrito melt

Q: was this menu generated by a neural network

I'd like to think that regardless of what you order, you ultimately just get a glass of room-temperature soylent delivered to your table.

Ten Condiment sandwich, probably, if it's good enough for Moses.

Great book.

this menu is very hard to read so I gave up on reading the whole thing and just let my eyes dart around looking for delicious and/or ridiculous combos, and after a while of darting, my considered but not comprehensive choice is:

"zesty" bread and breakfast name plate: "3 bbq duck & egg sliders on mac'n cheese cakes"

tbh I barely knew what these words meant but I guess this is a picture and oh boy, that's a heart attack on a plate. yes, I'll take it, thank you.

Um, those "sliders" are each full-size sandwiches.

loved i like killing flies, shd re-watch i dont really remember it well

what a horribly formed "menu"

I recently ordered a side of silver dollar pancakes because I don't need to be eating an entire goddamn plate of full-size pancakes but then they turned out to be an entire goddamn plate of full-size pancakes (their full-size pancakes, as I learned, actually exceeded the circumference of the plate to kind of a ridiculous degree).

America.

this menu is very hard to read

oh I didn't mean the image quality, I meant that my eyes were protesting at the sheer amount of text and colours and gradient fills and asterisks and boxes and notes and numbers floating around, and refusing to pass the information on to the reading part of the brain

however I do note that you told us we had to read the whole menu before proceeding and I am therefore a very bad person to barge in here and declare that I didn't

so many things

so many

Why are none of the shepherd's pie options lamb?

I want the #25 but hold the mozzarella burrito

This is like the restaurant version of a Coke Freestyle soda fountain.

On second thought, I'll just have the $4 white bread toast, thanks.

Can i just have saran wrap on a sesame seed bun and then a few pickles, some Sriracha, a piece of string, and a piece of iceberg lettuce on top

xp ok great we'll get right on that. But 1st pick from one of these 19 types of butters for your bread.

there are some recipes online trying to replicate the slutty cakes.

I am choosing to not google those at work.

my terrible secret is that i've only read maybe 1/10th of this menu

just want to see what this looks like side-by-side, forgive me:

their microsoft publisher file must be at its breaking point

"Shopsin's daughter, Tamara, once admitted that the worst thing she had ever done was teach her father how to use Adobe InDesign. She didn't expect him to exploit the text-squeeze function to such an extent," Saveur reported in 2009.

lol!!

Belatedly realizing between the food on the menu and Kenny's attitude, this is the real-live version of

that's a good filmmaking move - use explosions to connect together different takes

I've only seen the porn parody, "Follow That Butt".

you don't wanna know what they called the restaurant in that one

I just watched the NYT video on how they make the mac n cheese pancakes and it is totally a lot simpler than I would've thought. Pour the pancake, toss on some cooked macaroni, toss in some cheddar, wait and flip.

interesting. i had a mac first process in mind.

I ate here a few times! Shopsin called my uncle a dickhead! The food was generally very good. RIP

His daughter is a fantastic artist/designer/illustrator. His other daughter is a filmmaker and used to work at Other Music. I met her once at a show.

Ulysses do you remember what you ordered?

i remember getting a club, bread pudding french toast and i think blisters on my sisters. as i recall, it was all good but also all very much a gut bomb. Not light eating and huge portions!

They're still open btw in the new, cavernous Essex Market. I miss the old one. New menu too; maybe the same roster tho:

i will totally go to Shopsins with an ilxor btw

I Like Killing Flies is a great movie. I also own "Eat Me".

"Food pictures only"?
