[WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDER AT...] CHIPSHOP

Not to sound self-righteous, but I don't find myself in the ChipShop too often because I try to keep the differences between myself and Homer Simpson numerous in amount, which means I try to limit my intake of fried candy bars.

But, if you're in the mood for a grease-bomb, there's no better place to blow your diet than the ChipShop.

[WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDER AT...] 12TH STREET BAR & GRILL

The idea of "comfort food" is usually tied in with something that your mother made.  I, unfortunately, am a complete and total stranger to that feeling because my mother could not cook anything to save her life.  If Aileen Wuornos came up to my mom and was like, "Ima kill you and your family unless you make me a really great pot roast," we would all be dead*. 

Most people go home to visit and request a few of their favorite meals.  My request is usually, "Hey, can you not make anything at all?  And maybe just like, not go in the kitchen either.  Ever."

So, truly, the closest I'm ever going to get to mom's comfort food is the Lemon Thyme Roasted Chicken ($17) at 12th Street Bar & Grill (1123 Eighth Ave at 12th Street, 718-965-9526).

Full disclosure: I may or may not have given my number to a waitress at Barrio (210 7th Ave at 3rd Street, 718-965-4000) when I was drunk once.  And I may or may not have returned months later to see that she was pregnant.  HI, I'M AN IDIOT.  CAN I HAVE A MOJITO POR FAVOR AYAYAYAYAYYYYY.
