bon fucking bons

so we busted it to chambers street (humidity is a motherfucker) and stepped in the place, 3 minutes to closing. "watchoo got?" we asked the cashier and they only had a small combo left, and a medium drumsticks. "no more wings? that's it?" I knew the drumsticks would be shite (they kinda sucked at bon chon in k-town) since its crap meat but, when shit goes down and things get desperate, drumsticks it is.

for about $20 bucks (and 7 minutes of waiting time), we had ourselves the last 6 wings and 8 drumsticks, plus a couple buns. we got the hot and spicy and asked for extra sauce (because the shits tend to be dry, e.g. cheap on the sauce) but the cashier refused, ("It comes sauced"). I know motherfucker, that's why I asked for more, because technically it's sauced, but not super-sauced. anyway, the restaurant was shit hot and he was dying to go home (he looked like he had summer school tomorrow) and the last thing a cashier wants to see is two fools busting in at 9:57, especially when store hours are until 10.

dip up the block to one of new york's lovely greenspaces (corner of duane and hudson basically) and found us some lovely steps. first off, the buns were good, tasted like the chinese roast pork bun bread, even glazed on top. I made myself a drumstick sarnie (split open bun, put meaty part of drumstick in said bun, clamp shut and hold tight, and do a twisting motion separating the bone from the meat. bone removed, and you've got yourself [or myself] a drumstick slider) and dug in. good stuff, sorta, but since its such crap chicken (19¢ a pound, I wouldn't be surprised) all I tasted was crust, no chicken. the wings fared better for some reason; better ratios I think, but overall still weaksauce. there was some heat, yes, but the crust wasn't good, the ratio of sauce to crust to meat wasn't balanced. and yes, it needed some dippin' sauce. told ya.

had much better chicken at bon chon and in a much nicer, albeit mismatching setting although I still haven't found my chicken fried manna yet. ever on the hunt though.
