lamb from the chicken & rice guys
So I finally visited the chicken & rice cart on 53rd and 6th Avenue last week. Steve, Andres, and I strolled on over in search of a quick bite after the ABC TV previews party.

The line was, of course, ridiculously long, but we wanted to chat a bit about the pilots we'd just seen, anyway, so we waited it out. And it was definitely worth it. Now, I don't know if it can compare to my favorite chicken & rice cart (located in Astoria, Broadway stop, right by the C-Town) but the lamb was well-seasoned and greasily delicious. The rice was a fine complement to the lamb without overshadowing the meat, and the white sauce enhanced all the flavors. The pita was wonderful. I always wonder how it is they manage to get them so they are a little crisp on the outside and so soft on the inside. Perhaps I need a grill.

In any case, well worth the $6, especially as I split one with Steve!
