| - The plan for a group of downtown office servants with an hour to spare for lunch:
-leave work at the most convenient time for lunch, usually involves measuring when the 'lull' is most likely to occur in the day
-make call to NY sub and preorder-A MUST
-collect or confiscate ttc passes for the GO commuters in the group and run to the nearest streetcar stop.
-curse at sky meaninglessly if the car is taking it's time
-arrive at destination, no lineup a sign of good things to come! avert eyes slightly at the dingyness inside but no matter, good cheap food comes in all venues.
-pick up orders and allow 10 minutes to scarf down savoured burritos before eating the rest on the ride back.
New York subway serves up subs yes but this is a bit of a misnomer because they are most well known for their fusion stylized burritos. You can get satay burritos which are grilled meats on the 'ol faithful grill they have running. They are spiced up, mixed together with lettuce, onions, hot sauce and a creamy mystery white sauce. I've had the lamb satay a few times now and it's really delicious, the meat is charred right and the fact that they grill their creations (like the boyz and the bandidos) after rolling them up is a plus. Burrito business wannabes take note: grilling the final roll is key, the grilling process creates a toasty crust on the outside which helps to make the entire burrito more solid and stable for eating. For the more hungry heffers, the jumbo burritos are monster wraps stuffed with meat and stir fried veggies such as potatoes, onions and a ton of mushrooms. $5.95 for a satay burrito and $7.95 jumbo burrito definitely make New York subway a more tasty and enticing deal than your pedestrian Subway combo.
Tummies happy and tastebuds tingling, our heroes shuttle back to the office to round out the rest of their day.
