Favorite frozen entrees?

Gotta agree w/ the lean pockets. Also, bagel bites. All things pizza are delicious, even frozen things.

I also love the Friday's brand "Anytizers" buffalo chicken wings. Man they are delicious. And Trader Joe's makes frozen beef burritos that, when covered in Frank's, are really good.

Dear Whole Foods,

Central Market rules!

Dear Whole Foods - your Chana Masla and saffron rice on the hot bar are really good. Congrats. Also, I copied your fresh salsa recipe and I make it at home; thanks for having it on the label!

PS: please carry Sweet Leaf tea in New York! Ex Texans miss our Sweet Leaf!!

Regional Fast Food Chains

Former Texan here, craving some Taco Bueno, Taco Cabana (or "Taco C. as we locals call it) and Chick Fila! Also, for all Dallasites out there, I gotta give a shout out to Chucks!

where can i go for a delicious, affordable birthday dinner?

Last minute addition! Gotta add Joy Indian Restaurant on Flatbush Ave. and Prospect Pl. in Park Slope! It's delicious Indian food! Big tables, rarely crowded, totally affordable. PLUS - its BYOB!! talk about cheap. Seriously delicious

Somewhere to brag about in NY...

I may be the millionth person to sing it's praises, but Momofuku Ssam Bar is most incredibly delicious restaurant. It's relatively affordable, but if you want to spend major money you can get their signature Pork shoulder dish for 10 - I think its like $180. But even without it - seriously - amazing amazing restaurant. Deep fried Brussel Sprouts, I can't even tell you!

Also - WD-50 would disappoint, particularly if you're into Molecular Gastronomy.

Looking for a really good Vietnamese restaurant...

@casadelun: I have had their pho and its spicy and delicious. Interesting tid-bit: they actaully serve it with the meat on the side. Ex: Pho w/ chicken comes with a breast of chicken on a side plate so you can add in the amount you want, and leave the rest to eat at your own discresion.

@foodinmouth: I'm having trouble remembering the names of the other Asian style places where I've dined on 8th Ave, but, if you like Mexican food, there's also a lot of great, authentic choices on 5th Ave in Sunset Park - which is closer to the subway, so hurray!

Rico's Tacos on 5th Ave and 52nd has excellent tacos (my boyfriend loves the tounge!) Tacos Matamoras on 5th and 48th is also really good - humongous portions, and I like Eclipe, on 4th Ave and 44th Street, for their mole burrito. MMMMMMMMMMM, delicious.

The point: Sunset Park has some of the best, authentic Asian/Mexican food in the city and its all super cheap because it hasn't been "discovered" yet. Definetely worth the trip if you're looking to explore.

I have my own food blog if anyone is interested:

Looking for a really good Vietnamese restaurant...

The first two comments must have never traveled to Sunset Park where there is DELICIOUS Vietnamese food up and down 8th Avenue - aka: Brooklyn's "Chinatown."

My favorite is Gia Lam II which is RIDICULOUSLY cheap and has AMAZINGLY delicious food. I'd recommend the pork Vietnamese sandwich - I think its $4 and it can easily count as two meals. My mouth is watering just thinking about it...yummmm. Also - the Shrimp on Sugar Cane is to die for. Truly if you are looking for great, authentic, cheap Vietnamese food, you must trek out to Sunset Park. Its an adventure to a really vibrant neighborhood. 8th Ave and 55th in Brooklyn. Must go!
