Fried Green Tomato Sandwich w/ hot pepper jelly and red cabbage slaw.
French fries on side.
A la Queens Comfort.
The only brunch option (besides pancakes) that contained no meat. I had low expectations… but this sandwich blew my mind. There was such a kick to it.
Apparently, Queens Comfort has bangin’ mac & cheese, but I have yet to experience it.
Astoria needs more of these kinds of restaurants (locally sourced food & independent.) I won’t say this place is healthy in the slightest. It’s southern cooking at its finest- which means delicious and awful for you. However, the ingredients ARE seasonal and local. If you’re in the mood for chicken & waffles, you probably won’t find a better place in the city.
I’m still waiting for a legit coffee place in my neighborhood. Then i’d really have something to brag about to those Brooklyn folks…
So sorry for the rant last night.
Anyway! I went to Smorgasburg yesterday at the Williamsburg Waterfront for the first time, and let me tell you, it was ah-mazing. After a treacherous 2 hours of trying to hop on the free ferry and failing, then taking that glorious cab ride I described in my previous post, experiencing the food fair was like a dream. Seriously, you can sample mostly anything. I sampled pickles, blondies, ice cream, oatmeal, kombucha, ginger tea; you fill up on samples alone.
My cousin and I ended up splitting a Maine Lobster Roll and we both almost cried tears of happiness as we were shoving it in our mouths.
We got pickles on sticks, and after my cuz left, I got a frozen banana. Because, I mean, if you are an Arrested Development fanatic, you see Frozen Bananas and you just gotta jump on that. I got mine dipped in sea salt and coconut. Delightful.
People look at you differently when you’re eating a frozen banana. I can’t say why.
Went to a flea market, picked up this little vintage diddy:
About to ride my bike to Williamsburg to check out some more flea market fun!
Oh, and Happy Father’s Day to all those dads. I got my dad a book on the French New Wave and I don’t think he was too thrilled about it. Oui oui.
