On Park Slope Parents this morning, this note from a Red Hot I customer:
Seems like they’re back… this time as Red Hot II (now that’s
creative). From the conversation I overheard outside the door this
evening it’s the same chef. I didn’t keep an old menu so I can’t
compare – the phone number on the new menu is (718) 369 -2577.
Feedback please from whoever is the first to order…
I was full from a huge lunch, told my wife I’d probably just have a bowl of cereal, and so she passive-aggressively says she needs Red Hot, when she damn well knows that I can’t fully participate. She doesn’t even LOVE it like I do… wtf? Does anyone have any marital adv-
Oh, right the review:
We order by phone and then go pick up – that’s our jam to save 4$ on delivery. We call up, people on phone different (yeah I can tell, all asians don’t sound the same to me you RACISTS – jk, they sound exactly the same, not sure if they were the same people or not)
Anyway, they were nice, they got the order easily, BUT to be fair, we weren’t ordering the sesame tofu, which always seemed to throw the old guard off their guard, since they needed to figure out how to combine sesame sauce with bean curd on those little computers.
Anyway, food was ready in about 15 mins.
Went to pick it up and in the little foyer there were a couple of teenagers waiting – funny moment when some confused Jewish chick outside was like “I thought they cloooosed?” and the teenagers said “they OPENED” and some crazy white dude walking in goes “Yeah what the FUCK – don’t you read the BLOGOSPHERE?!?!”
I asked the woman behind the counter what the deal was – she said NEW OWNER, SAME CHEF.
Jesus, it was packed, they really have to be retarded not to be able to carry this into a successful business, no matter what their rent is.
Anyway, food was much HOTTER than usual, which is a good sign. It was clear that it’s the same Chef, same look and feel, tasted much fresher than usual like a the usual red hot on Prozac. However, I wouldn’t deduce from this that it will stay this way forever – I mean, this was opening night – lets taste it Thursday night when that same Beef is still kickin around.
Anyway, so far so good – for all intensive purposes, Red Hot is back.
