yeah, the comments about class and clientele are clearly directed to the jackass-factor online and in person that can not deal with how they run their business. Like most people here, if you like the food adjust to the condition and deal with it. Personally, I do not see any issues. I go in, order my food and then I eat it. Not a single problem from the day they opened (except when they stopped taking phone orders, which sucked but was totally understandable.)
People just need attention and need to be babied... and god forbid they do not get what they want the way that they want it.

Clumps - try the Grove Cart carnitas for a fix. no substitute, but it's not bad. Pretty good roast pork flavor. The rest are 'meh'...

Unless the clean-up/refurb just isn't worth it, I do not see how they walk away from JC. It's a cash cow (presumably). Per previous posts, I wonder if any of JC's annoying internet warriors are going to harass them in NYC

Still have not hit the small plates, but I do love the "new" sandwich lineup. Updated meatloaf and short rib are awesome as is the Chix Parm (a bit inconsistent, but whatevs). RIP roast beef though, will be missed. Wings are also my go-to in town these days. Different, but I do dig it. Anyways, keep it up! Has been fun watching your food evolve.

Park & 6th and Skinner get my vote. There was a day when Marco was my spot, but the inconsistency got to an unacceptable point for me. At least at Skinners and PArk I know what I'm getting, and they hit my temp majority of the time. White Star, the last 2 times I tried was a joke. Assuming it started with the latest owners, but the food there is not what it used to be. substandard, even for bar food. Same could be said for LightHorse, inconsistent and the service is insanely bad. Long time ago, but I was once called an "as#$ole" by the bartender for turning back a well done burger when I ordered rare. Park tavern is great, but out of the way for Grove residents. o'connell's is pretty good as well.

Ibby's is standard store bought style pita. Nothing wrong with that.

yeah it's nuts. i figured 30A would be the tipping point, where some of the younger chefs would start looking out here. Such untapped potential in this town.

stopped in for a to-go pie last night. looking forward to eating there, food looked legit and people seemed pleased. The pizza is good, perfectly serviceable. I will certainly consider it along with Rustique, Paulus Hook and the new Majestic when in the mood for za. Each is unique, and worth having from time to time. That said, nothing in town is close to Keste, or any of the other top shelf Neapolitan spots in NYC (Mottorino, Pauly G, Robertas, etc). Roman Nose isn't even the same style, not worth comparing at all (IMO)

Jersey bread is crap maybe you just do not know where to find it? For instance, right under your nose in JC is 2nd Street bakery. So there's that, and a thousand other italian bakeries. Then again I could be wrong. If you can't find good bread at a state fair or a supermarket, where CAN you find it?!?

So you like taking risks and chances huh. sure, why not. the food never made me sick, and i never saw anything to indicate the food product itself was tainted, or that the preparation and prep space was unsanitary. More like "everything else" appeared to be unorganized and dirty. typically in a restaurant with limited manpower, things that get used regularly are taken care of and cleaned by necessity, and things that are not sit and collect dust/dirt/grime, etc. Especially in a small smokey place with lots cooking oil flying around in woks and whatnot.

I did like the food... and the entertainment while you waited. What a wacky place. Have to assume padlocked due to health code violations. Nothing in there looked particularly sanitary.
Will miss if gone, always an adventure stepping through those doors.

PATH to 9th street, short walk to Wogies.
Tried the "cheesesteak" special @ PArk&6th. Was weird. Essentially a sandwich sized small steak on a bun with fixings. Not your typical shaved/griddle'd offering. Love the spot, did not love that sandy.

I disagree an interesting point. so anyone that reviews this spot is doing so because of the momo connection? or just NY publications? and what's wrong with tracking a chef who makes a move from a "high profile" spot? isn't that the point of food journalism.

I guess the reporter hasn't eaten in NJ too often. I agree the food is good, but it's hardly the most amazing place in NJ. And why can't they review anything in NJ without some crack about our quality of life? i don't think that was the intention at all. point is: can you compare this style of food to anything else in Jersey? I am not going to claim to know the answer, but i do know i have not seen it anywhere else. and that's not a slight... think about it: he is coming from the Momofuku team, which was a new style IN NY CITY not long ago. Should it be surprising that it is new in Jersey now?

Taylor is a brand, pork roll is the product.
There are other brands (not many these days), but Taylor is the biggest.

hey cory - schmaylor ham is our take on taylor ham. we had the folks over at the meat hook in brooklyn (http://the-meathook.com/) make it and we think they did a pretty awesome job (considering they're in new york city). yeah it's pretty f'in good. would be interested to do a head to head comparison against some of the taylor products (or other purveyors of the mighty roll), to get a better sense of meathook actually did. Anyway, can see that becoming a staple of my weekend diet.
