Chipotle?

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 04:32 (nineteen years ago) link

yes.

― adam... (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 04:33 (nineteen years ago) link

Everyone in my office eats it for lunch...and they are so skinny.

― adam... (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 04:33 (nineteen years ago) link

The L is silent (heh).

The one in Brooklyn Heights is about the only decent, cheap food to be had on weekends... And their guac is very good.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 04:34 (nineteen years ago) link

It's that or Subway!

not true! how about a salad or sandwich from garden of eden or lassen & hennigs? also, my little pizzeria on court street makes a serious slice.

i like chipotle...it's all the food you need for a whole day!

i ate lunch at kapadokya (the turkish resto on montague st) today. lentil soup, a pisterma appetizer, and a basket of hot pita bread = $9. very good, too.

― hockey family (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 04:40 (nineteen years ago) link

i really don't like it when ppl say chip-ol-tee.

― g--ff (gcannon), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 04:44 (nineteen years ago) link

same here.

― hockey family (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 04:54 (nineteen years ago) link

reminds me of an architecture teacher i once had who kept pronouncing "cupola" as "cupelo" (like "tupelo").

what about Grand Canyon Burgers! Those are great hamburgers! I used to go to the one in park slope, then I moved to cobble hill. The day I discovered there was another on montague, was a great day.

This is based on 2002 census data, BTW.
Hoo, haa, haa. Like the census is even close to being right about the U.S.' hispanic population. Every decent sized town in the country has a sizable Hispanic community and several resturants catering to that population. I absolutlely state the Boise Idaho and Jackson Wyoming have bona fide authentic Mexican resturants. My girl is a Latino Outreach director at out local library and we ain't fell off no turnip truck yet.

hungry brooklynites: the damascus bakery on atlantic avenue has delicious and cheap veg/spinach/beef/potato/lamb pies, and pistachio baklava that is truly spectacular.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 11:53 (nineteen years ago) link

i'm meh on the grand canyon burgers. they're just a little too rare in the middle. i don't like the bun either.

lauren otm re damascus. i've been going there forever.

― hockey family (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 12:09 (nineteen years ago) link

man - chipotle is the fucking best. i work 200 feet from the most profitable chipotle in the world, no lie.

― peter smith (plsmith), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 15:46 (nineteen years ago) link

that's crazy talk re: grand canyon.

damascus's tahini bread is a tasty treat.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 16:28 (nineteen years ago) link

but so rich that i'm getting a stomachace just thinking about it.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 16:30 (nineteen years ago) link

was anyone else as surprised as i was (ie, totally stunned) to find out how bad tahini is for you? like, you would be better off eating lard (literally).

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 16:31 (nineteen years ago) link

Really????

― adam... (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 16:33 (nineteen years ago) link

*Adam starts puking up all the tahini he's ever eaten*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 16:33 (nineteen years ago) link

omg yes, adam. it's like pure fat. shocking, right? sesame seeds, who knew.

― lauren (laurenp), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 16:35 (nineteen years ago) link

It's that or Subway!

-- adam...

bullshit, there are like 5000 places to eat around there! your coworkers are lazy!

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 16:40 (nineteen years ago) link

xpost re tahini: Aw man, don't ruin my day :(

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 16:40 (nineteen years ago) link

Chipotle is the greatest! Is there a Chipotle rules(!) thread around here?

― E--- S------- and don't I know it, Wednesday, 17 November 2004 17:13 (nineteen years ago) link

What's tahini? Cupola?

*begging forgiveness for ignorance*

― Rumpy Pumpkin (rumpypumpkin), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 17:35 (nineteen years ago) link

It's like peanutbutter but with sesame seeds, and a main ingredient in hummus.

― Hunter (Hunter), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 17:38 (nineteen years ago) link

A cupola is a domed roof or ceiling, and is also a main ingredient in hummus.

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 17:45 (nineteen years ago) link

Thanks

― Rumpy Pumpkin (rumpypumpkin), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 17:46 (nineteen years ago) link

adam you should just remember the sort of crap you (probably) used to eat in the UK on your lunch hour.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 20:02 (nineteen years ago) link

I ate a Chipotle chicken and black bean burrito an hour and a half ago, inspired by this thread and the get-a-burrito-free coupon in my computer bag. Then I went into burrito coma. I just woke up. Awesome.

Thanks for the reminder ILX.

― Hunter (Hunter), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 23:19 (nineteen years ago) link

ive always been tempted to try the chipotle on st.marks street in nyc. just as a big fuck you to all the "anarchist anti-capitalist goth punk fag nyu bitch" types around. also, i heard the food is yummy.

― phil-two (phil-two), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 23:23 (nineteen years ago) link

this thread makes me want to hit up burrito max or anna's.

we don't have no chipotle here in new england.

― trigonalmayhem (trigonalmayhem), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 23:28 (nineteen years ago) link

it makes me wanna go San Loco.

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 17 November 2004 23:45 (nineteen years ago) link

Chipotle has good guacamole, but they are overpriced. I can get better burritos near my house, and cheaper.

― Ian John50n (orion), Thursday, 18 November 2004 02:05 (nineteen years ago) link

guac/chips way too salty
one of the salsas way too corn syrupy
otherwise, not bad

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Thursday, 18 November 2004 02:09 (nineteen years ago) link

sesame seeds, like peanuts = good fat though, right?

not bad fat?

I try to eat as much good fat as I can.

tons and tons of it.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Thursday, 18 November 2004 02:36 (nineteen years ago) link

what about that sesame paste they use for cold noodles? that's good fat, RIGHT?

― hockey family (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 18 November 2004 04:00 (nineteen years ago) link

(and no sodium whatsoever)

― hockey family (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 18 November 2004 04:00 (nineteen years ago) link

that's peanut butter!

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Thursday, 18 November 2004 04:04 (nineteen years ago) link

oh, humor me.

You're joking, right?

tonight i had vegetable wonton soup from andy's on montague street. One quart = $3.50 or something. i heart new york.

― hockey family (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 18 November 2004 04:38 (nineteen years ago) link

and since we're including atlantic ave. as brooklyn heights, i've decided that for my birthday i don't want a cake, i want one of those boxes of lebanese baklava they sell at sahadi.

― hockey family (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 18 November 2004 04:44 (nineteen years ago) link

speaking of atlantic avenue, I've been gong to Bachus for brunch constantly, best in the area by far, and there's a new cafe opening up next door that looks like it may be really nice.

I don't make it to montague st. much since I moved from Court to wyckoff and nevins. My fave foods in the area are Zaytons on smith st., Aunt Suzy's and Bonnies on 5th Ave, Calexico on 5th, Soul Spot on Atlantic near Smith is GREAT...many others. Very happy in this area, thank you. And the bodega on hoyt above atlantic that makes killer tacos.

I dunno about that tahini thing. I've got a jar right here, and it says -- serving size: 2 tbsp, calories 210, calories from fat 150, total fat 16g, saturated fat 2g, cholesterol 0mg. Seems like lard would be worse but then again I don't have any lard lying around. This thing's from Whole Foods, yeah, but it's not like low-fat or anything. Ingredients says "mechanically hulled roasted sesame seeds". Then again, maybe lauren is talking about tahini SAUCE, like what gets drizzled on falafel and so forth. I have no idea what gets added to the tahini to make it all liquidy like that. Perhaps it's something really bad. I just use this stuff to make hummus.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Thursday, 18 November 2004 05:09 (nineteen years ago) link

wait, maybe it is bad; total fat 16g is apparently = 25% of daily value. That seems like a lot. So yeah, maybe it is worse than lard.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Thursday, 18 November 2004 05:10 (nineteen years ago) link

Okay okay there are more places to eat in Brooklyn Heights. I meant to say that I'm lazy and it's close and quick and pretty yummy. Although today there was dude standing in front and was a bit too friendly trying to get people to come inside. And yesterday two of my classmates went and the manager was hitting on them. It was kind of funny. Oh and also they always play some weird CD comp. Today this woman next to me was complaining about the Jeff Buckley song. That was also kind of funny.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Thursday, 18 November 2004 05:13 (nineteen years ago) link

best thing about brooklyn heights(sorry to derail thread) is Metro Comics, the little known sister store to St. Marks comics, which looks like crappy superhero fest out front but inside, the same cute alterna-girls are selling old issues of Love and Rockets and Yummy Fur. Go buy this now:
