Ah, the legend himself. Good choice, smart guy.

Yakitori in Tokyo under the Yamanote line elevated trains is awesome.
There's so much variety to the fast food in this neighborhood that I work in NYC. Chinese noodles, Pakistani kebabs, Japanese curry, NY pastrami...
I just got back from Baltimore and had a kickin crab cake sandwich there.
I'm going to Niagara soon and have heard tell of the fries smothered in gravy and cheese curds. I think it's called poutine up there.

My fave Pastrami in NYC is still Katz's on Houston st. Hand carved sammiches. Be sure and tip the slicer.

Billy Bunters's grub. I even dedicated him a thread.

The Pastrami sandwiches at Katz are indeed amazing.

Fuck yes! I had one for the first time recently and it was fucking ace. Massive slabs of salt beef with mustard and a bit of baked cheesecake afterwards. And cheap as fuck too.

The Kebabs I had in Berlin and Krakow were pretty lovely and a great deal nicer than the dirt you often get in this country.

Lamb Doner has a bad name but you can get good stuff if you look. Troy's in Cardiff is the best kebab in town. It would be sacriledge to call it junk food though. It's fine eating, seriously.

beating !@#$%! to it.........Five Guys burgers, fresh ground beef, fresh cut peanut oil french fries

at the beach, any number of Sub shops, and Thrasher's Fries

exactly how much i will eat this summer with my super strict diet is uncertain now

jon boy 05.07.2007 02:11 PM

i do like the odd pizza and/or falafel. its strange that you cant really get falafels in england i eat them way more in berlin.

mangajunky 05.07.2007 02:17 PM

I totally forgot a couple of NJ staples. Rutt's Hutt and Hiram's for deep fried NJ hot dogs and beer.

Deep-fried hot dogs on the beach front, I can't remember the place

the southwest chicken salad from mcdonalds, for a fast food salad, is amazing.

sarramkrop 05.14.2007 05:56 PM

I don't know its name and it doesn't seem to have one, but there's a place round the corner where i've just had the best vegetarian kebab ever.

Hip Priest 05.14.2007 05:57 PM
