Shopsin's still good?

I have always wanted to try this gem but never had the opportunity due to his weird hours. Tuesday-Friday 9-3 and Saturday 9-2. Obviously, since I work I can't make it there during the week and I like to sleep in on Saturdays since I am usually dead from waking up early every other day. However, next week I have some vacation time and was planning to hit up Shopsins joint on a Tues or Wed afternoon.
Is this place still great? I love the fact that it is a hidden, hole in the wall, adventurousand eclectic menu type of place. Many have considered it an NY classic since it is tough to find places like this anymore.
Obviously I am not expecting a 5 star dining experience you would expect from a $180. I am just looking forward to some great down some comfort food cookin from Kenny. I admit the HUGE menu is definitely going to cause problems for me since I will want to try everything and most likely over order. Does Kenny cap the amount of food that a solo diner can order if he deems it too much? I have heard some people mention that in the past of him doing this.
Alas what are the best hings to order? I obviously have heard about the famous slutty cakes, mac n cheese pancakes, ebelskivers, his awesome and crazy lunch plate pairings and combinations, etc. One great thing I noticed is you can order half orders of pancakes, which would allow me to sample a few different kinds. I was thinking half slutty, half mac n cheese, and maybe something else.
So is Shopsins still great or whats the updated word on Mr. Kenny's classic NY experience?
Shopsin's General Store

First of all - much respect to both your foodie ambitions and your ability to realize them as witnessed first hand at Ssam.
But, even champion eater Joey Chestnut would have a hard time eating everything at Shopsins. I haven't been in a little while, but my advice is to do an exploratory trip eating a few things and then try your best to return one day if you deem it worthy.
As for what not to miss, all I can say firsthand is that the ebelskivers still call my name, and I may have to go back soon and have more.
re: seal
Yeah I understand that lol.... but I know there are so many things that I am going to want to sample. I will probably try to drag along a few friends so we can try as much as possible. Other than the ebelskivers what "real" food would you suggest?
Also, look forward to seeing you in a few weeks for the Ssam seal!!!!!!!!!!!!!
re: steakrules85
I'm definately looking forward to Ssam.
But in between now and then I will be in Barcelona, so that should be fun too ;o)
Be careful at Shopsins since they are like the cartoon version of Saturday Night Live's parody of The Billy Goat Inn. I would go once and just eat as much as you can before trying any special orders. Enjoy.
re: seal
I've never had any problem at Shopsin's. I've dined by myself a few times as well and again, no problem even though I'm pretty quiet. I certainly don't think the gruff service is a myth, but I don't think anyone should be scared about going there!
Off-topic, but I missed the Chowdown post about Momofuku Ssam. Anybody clue me in, please? firstname.lastname@example.com
Shopsin's is AWESOME. Don't be led astray by any comments to the contrary.
Be careful with over-ordering though if you're going by yourself. Kenny might shut you down and tell you "that's too much food". Get on his bad side right off the bat, and you won't enjoy a single bite of deliciousness. The last few times we've been, Kenny hasn't done the cooking. He just sits and commiserates while his son does the cooking.
I love that place, and we make a point to hit it every time we visit.
It's still awesome. Don't try to get too much food.
Talk to the server (usually one of his daughters) and she'll talk to steer you right.
I always hear good things about the sliders and donuts but usually end up getting pancakes (bacon and egg) and picking off other people's plates.
re: kathryn
Do they allow for substitutions? For example one of their breakfast places looks awesome.. you get 2 each of the pancakes- smores, mac and cheese, and butterscotch. I would like to substitute the butterscotch for the slutty cakes though. Think they would object or is he gruff service a myth?
re: steakrules85
The gruff service is NOT a myth, and it extends from Kenny sometimes to his son Zach. So I wouldn't try any substitutions.
re: steakrules85
i wouldn't. that pancake plate (tasty 2, iirc) is bangin though. go tuesday and save the slutty for wednesday. you can also get half-orders.
if you have a huge appetite, you should be able to do 2 entrees in one go. i've done it a few times without trouble. they used to tell me i was getting too much, but i think they're used to my orders by now.
re: Cheese Cheesely
Well it doesn't hurt to ask. The worse that can happen is they say no.
re: steakrules85
Yeah but they can also kick you out, make fun of you, curse at you, and then ban you...
re: kathryn
I'm not afraid lol.
re: steakrules85
But, see, the food is good enough that I wouldn't want to be banned...
re: kathryn
LOL. New York theatre at its best.
re: steakrules85
kathryn is correct. The worst that can happen is NOT that they say no. It's that you get no food at all. I've been on the receiving end of one mini-tirade myself (I already had my food, thankfully), and I've seen a guy booted for his "attitude." So whether you're afraid or not is sort of immaterial. You may find that you are brave and also hungry.
re: small h
Wow.. I think that is sort of ridiculous. I mean would they really "ban" someone for asking for a simple substitution? And if they said no I would just accept it and then continue on with my order. I am not one to fight or have a bad attitude.
re: steakrules85
Far be it from me to defend the practice - ridiculous is a pretty accurate categorization. I'm just saying it is definitely no myth. Brush up on your Shopsin lore here:
re: small h
I actually love the fact that they ban hipster fussy idiots. I saw Kenny run some hipster off last time I was there. It's part of the charm of the place is you ask me because you won't have to sit next to any fussy buttwipes when you go there.
Kenny's more concerned with keeping the place the way he likes it and having people there that he wants there than he is with slaving to the almighty dollar. I think that's admirable.
By the way, I've never had a single issue with Kenny, the waiters or Kenny's son. They've been great to us EVERY time.
re: Slob
"Kenny's more concerned with keeping the place the way he likes it and having people there that he wants there than he is with slaving to the almighty dollar. I think that's admirable."
Well, he isn't so altruistic that he's giving the food away.
Frankly, I find it appalling that people are willing to put up with this kind of treatment. No matter how good the food may be, treating customers this way is, in my view. totally unacceptable. If you're going to pay to eat somewhere, you shouldn't have to go in fearful that if you ask a question, you're going to be tossed out on your rear. And the reason he gets away with it *is* because people let him by continuing to patronize the place.
I may be a glutton sometimes, but I'm never a glutton for this kind of punishment. There's plenty of other great food in this town, and I prefer to spend my hard-earned dollars at a restaurant where I'm treated with respect. I can live the rest of my life very nicely without ever setting food inside Shopsin's.
re: RGR
RGR, you and I mostly agree on all things food related and this is no exception. I don't think someone should be mistreated for asking for a simple addition, subtraction, substititon, etc. I mean like you said you are the paying customer.
However, I do really want to try Shopsin's just because I love to try new things, electic food, and classic NY and this fits all criteria.
re: RGR
I totally have to agree with you. I've only been there a handful of times at their old location and have ordered several dishes that have been lauded on the boards. The food is good, but certainly not earth-shattering. While I'm a customer who generally doesn't ask for substitutions, I still have a problem with his policy. I know a lot of hounds on this board that I respect really love the place. But I would rather spend my money at a place where the guy won't throw me out and ban me if I ask if he could leave out the pickle on a dish. I don't want to go to a restaurant where I have to fear getting thrown out because I broke a "rule." I don't need a restaurant to wipe my ass. But I think a little civility is nice. Respect is a two-way street. And I don't think asking a simple question about an item on the menu or asking if a food allergy can be accommodated is a sign of disrespect.
For those of you who have been dying to try his food but are afraid they may get kicked out, his cookbook contains pretty simple recipes. For example, the pancakes are just plain frozen Aunt Jemima matter. And those famed slutty cakes are frozen Aunt Jemima batter, peanut butter, pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice. And the book is certainly an interesting read. It gives you a better understanding of why Kenny is the way he is.
If you have a food allergy (ie. eggs, dairy, etc.) or have special food needs (low-fat, low-salt) this is not the place for you. If you like to custom design your own menus, this is not the place for you. If you like to ask a zillion questions about menu items, this is not the place for you. In spite of everything I said, I would, however, recommend this place for certain people -- those who are curious about Shopsins, a small group that can't make up their minds as to what to eat (his menu features things from scrambled eggs to nigerian beef stew). I think it is a unique dining experience, and I can see some people really digging this. Personally, I don't find the food or experience that special where I'll put up with their behavior. Doesn't mean I won't go if somebody I know really wants to go. But I just can't see myself waking up one Sunday morning asking my husband to go to Shopsins with me. I will admit that my threshold is probably low compared to some people on these boards (I refuse to wait a couple of hours at Di Fara for pizza).
ETA: I'd also like to say that I've always been treated very well at Shopsins (did not ask for any substitutions). But I do have an issue with customers being banned and kicked out if they indeed do ask.
re: steakrules85
I have seen it myself. Someone asked for questions and then tried to substitute something and got kicked out. They are not even going to let you continue your order.
In their eyes, asking for substitution is already a "bad" attitude.
Don't even ask. You are better off asking questions here than to ask there.
re: kobetobiko
Hmmm interesting. So basically.. NO OMISSISIONS and NO SUBSTITUTIONS?
Here are my questions then for the Shopsins experts....
I really wanna try a few different kind of pancakes and the slutty and mac n cheese are definites. Maybe I can just get a half order of each.
Also, I think I wanna get the sliders since many people rave about them. Are the egg castles basically sliders with eggs on top? Would I be able to request grilled onions on them? Could I ask for them to be cooked rare?
I was there on Sat. We shared a 1/2 order of the slutty cakes, the Castles and the Moe II.
I would highly recommned the mac and cheese, slutty, bacon and egg and lemon blueberry ricotta pancakes. I also recommend the Castles, the Piaf, the Blisters on My Sisters and any of the "Pete" dishes.
To answer your question about the Castles:
1) Are the egg castles basically sliders with eggs on top? Yes, the best sliders I have ever had with lots of gooey cheese and an omlete type of egg on top of the burger.
2) Would I be able to request grilled onions on them? I wouldn't try it. Again, they are the no subsitutions, no ommissions, no additions type of place. The second time I was there we had ordered and still hadn't gotten our coffee. (They don't allow you to order coffee first; it has to be at the same time as your meal.) So when I asked for our coffee, they told me to get it myself. So I did. They next time we went, the same thing happened so we went to get our coffee ourselves and they yelled at us. So in short, it's a bit like the old Seinfield Soup Nazi type of vibe. Don't ask. Just order exactly how it is on the menu and keep your mouth shut. I have seen someone ask too many questions. It isn't pretty.
3) Could I ask for them to be cooked rare? I wouldn't try it. Read above.
Also, for giggles, look at the drug test they keep in plain view on the shelf at the counter. Pretty hilarious.
re: rosiemac75
How many people did you go with? Seems like a good amount of food.
Bummer on not being able to add onions or ask for it rare. DAMN!
re: steakrules85
There were 2 of us (girls, good eaters. I had just run 12 miles...)
The first time I went, we did the same type of order: 2 savory egg dishes and one pancake. The son Zach told us it was too much food and that he would only give us a 1/2 order of pancakes. He was right. So I usually stick to this formula for 2 people.
The castles sometimes have sauteed onions on them. For whatever reason, I don't remember them being on there this weekend. And it wouldn't surprise me if it was as simple as Zach forgetting or not wanting to bother. Either way, the burgers are freaking tasty no matter what's on them.
I also recommned the Ebelskivers but sometimes Zach doesn't want to make them bc too many people order them now. They were featured on a show on the Food Network. Aaron Sanchez raved about them and now everyone orders them. But they are also damn good.
Also to note, their guacamole was out of this world. I got a dish called the Egg Chimichanga (not currently on the menu) for my first taste of their guacamole and it was brillant.
Regardless of the quirkyness and gruffness of the service, I think the food is definately worth not getting kicked out or banned.
re: steakrules85
Now, why would you want to go to a place where you can't ask that your burger be prepared to your liking, i.e., rare. It's bad enough when restaurants where you can request it don't get it right. But to know from the get-go that if you even so much as dare to make the request, you'll be out on your tush? Feh!
re: RGR
I do really want to try it, but having read the book and posts hereabouts, I've ratcheted up my fear level to where I just don't think I'll ever do it. For me, it's not the ordering--I already know exactly what I'd have and would have no particular requests. It's the level of interaction required that concerns me--my old reliable who used to try new places with me has left town, so I'd likely be venturing in on my own (DH would hold no truck whatsoever with the "rules"). When I eat alone, I like to read a book or otherwise keep to myself, but from what I have read, this would get me booted right quick based on Kenny's social philosophy. So it looks like I'll be sticking with the cookbook...
re: planetjess
Keeping to yourself would not be a problem, planetjess. In fact, he'd probably prefer it. You should try it. It's really not a war zone or anything at all. Kenny's just got a strong douchebag sensor. I've been 5 times with my girlfriend, and we've had nothing but great experiences EVERY time.
re: planetjess
<When I eat alone, I like to read a book or otherwise keep to myself, but from what I have read, this would get me booted right quick based on Kenny's social philosophy.>
I go alone, I read a magazine, and no one has booted me yet. I understand all the "well, I never"-ing going on in this thread - I don't even disagree with it that strongly. But at least Shopsin's has a huge menu with something for everyone. Contrast that with David Chang, whose restaurants pretty much exclude anyone who doesn't eat pig.
Also note that when you order, say, the szechuan shrimp soup, you will be asked how spicy you want it. It isn't a total dictatorship.
re: planetjess
Planetjess - I see people reading all the time. I think you will be fine. If you just order from the menu and don't pull a "When Harry Met Sally" moment and add things, ask for things on the side, etc, you will have no problem. The level of interaction is rather minimal (most of the time) and if Kenny starts talking to you, just go with the flow. He's just very opinionated and likes to swear a lot. Not much different than some NY'ers we know...
re: planetjess
planetjess, I went by myself. Sat at the counter and had the slutty pancakes. Not sure if Kenny was there. He might have been sitting at a table. No line (like that over rated diner nearby that's really popular for breakfast). Essex Street Market ambience. This thread reminds me its been too long and I need to go back . . .
Go have some fun, bring your sense of humor, menu is enormous.
PS speaking of pig or avoiding pig, Shopsin's tofu breakfast sausages were not very good.
re: planetjess
I read there all the time. It's a breakfast/coffee habit of mine.
re: rosiemac75
Wasn't the coffee always serve yourself, or is that just the H2O?.
also, and please, please, please dont take this personally, but werent you upset with Momofuku for not giving you butter?
re: ConOrama
Yeah and I knew someone would eventually mention it. And I normally would never bother with a place like this either, as RGR stated. But I don't know this is just one of those places I've always wanted to check out just to see what its like.
re: steakrules85
Just do an honest self-evaluation. If you're a fussy nitpicky person DON'T go to Shopsin's. If you're more easygoing and willing to let the cooks cook you their meals the way they think is best, then go because it's a great place.
re: Slob
You've got to be kidding! I do not think this is a question of whether someone is being a fussy, nitpicky eater. I'm sure I and others could find *something* on the menu that we could order "as is." However, the fact that he sees nothing wrong in treating customers in such a disgustingly mean and hateful manner is enough for me to never consider patronizing the place. Whatever his demons are, he shouldn't be foisting them on the public. Forget self-evaluation! Frankly, I think people should just wise up, not go or stop going there, and put him out of business.
re: RGR
"I do not think this is a question of whether someone is being a fussy, nitpicky eater."
Not always, no. Sometimes it's more arbitary than that - I sense that he'll boot people, even in some instances repeat customers, based on his mood sometimes. It's not like this guy is some kind of litmus test of personal character. I think that's the way some people like to view him, but that's just not the case. He's a good, inventive, passionate cook, yeah. And it's his joint and his rules. But the idea that he's some kind of arbiter of justice is silly. One of the drawbacks to the new space is that it's so tiny, there's nowhere to run or hide from his rants. The last time I was there, he was regaling a pair of customers with completely unoriginal and purposefully hurtful comments about the French. If I didn't know this guy could cook, I'd take him for nothing more than a frustrated bag of wind. At the previous space, on Carmine, which was considerably bigger, of course, you could hear him from across the room, holding court amongst his minions, but there was some space and room to breathe. Now, you're in plain sight.
I go, order, pay my check and keep to myself, just like anywhere else. Haven't gotten kicked out yet, but it's not like that's a feather in my cap or anything. Perhaps he'll notice my cel phone vibrating one day and ban me for life.
re: Polecat
I think you're on to something here. I go way back with Shopsins - Morton and Bedford in the late 1970s. Kenny's unusual brand of kindness toward me - in my misspent 20s - was laudable and greatly endearing. However - Kenny is Kenny - no more/no less - I'd go to the ends of the five boroughs to defend his right do do what he does - but he is not an oracle of what is authentic or true, and based on my last couple of visits, the surly factor has gotten way over the top. Evie - and later his daughters, were softening influences. The wrestler heavy metal waiter is a PITA - and he's not even a Shopsin.
He's an instinctive cook. I don't know how he does what he does - but the food is wonderful. Nonetheless, I have no immediate plans to return.
re: RGR
And the funniest thing about it all is there are people out there who continually rag on my favorite restaurant (yes those of you who read my posts know very well which establishment I mean) about their "gruff" and "rude" service. However, I have never been turned down on a single request, thrown out, or given poor service at "that" establishment. Yet, it seems this is the norm at Shopsin's and people continue to frequent it regardless
But that is also another reason why I want to try it. I am one who believes in going and experiencing something first hand yourself before you make judgements. Most of the time people do not tell the WHOLE story. It cannot be that he throws someone out EVERYTIME they have a question or make a request. I am sure that Kenny does not throw someone out if they kindly ask for something nicely. If they get turned down and then make a huge scene out of it, rant rave, curse, etc. thats another story. But there are far too many people out there who don't know the "Shopsin's etiquette" for this to hold true. It is just normal for people to ask questions and make requests, especially given such an enormous and mind boggling menu with seemingly endless choices and options. And here is something very interesting that I came across while just googling Shopsin's... Nick Solares, a food blogger, has a great nad extremely funny story about how Kenny changed the bun on his burger recently. Kinda makes you think Kenny isn't all as bas as he is made out to be. Read it here....http://aht.seriouseats.com/archives/2...
While some may have had poor experiences at Shopsin's, I may not. I think I will just go and see for myself and then report back to everyone on how it goes.
re: steakrules85
Well, Luger's isn't exactly hurting for business?. And besides, I have never heard any reports of patrons being thrown out of the restaurant for making requests.
Hey, if people want to go to places where there's a good chance they're going to be treated in a discourteours and/or abusive manner, that's their right. I'll pass.
re: RGR
Some more funny stuff on Kenny....
This post is really interesting to me. I was exploring the Essex Market early Saturday morning and I noticed Shopsin's. I've been reading up on NY eats as much as possible, but I hadn't heard of it before. At 9:30 am there was no line, but by 10:30 a decent sized one had formed. I stopped and read the menu and thought about grabbing some breakfast, but opted instead for something from Russ and Daughters. I'm glad I did! I often ask questions about the menu and I would have been shocked by a rude response. I'll probably still give it a try, but now I'll go in forewarned.
Oh, and steakrules, while at the Essex Market you might consider trying to chocolate covered bacon from the chocolate shop at the other end of the market. It was an interesting combination -- not earth shattering or anything, but a unique little bite.
re: therenowtoo
Chocolate covered bacon huh... sounds interesting to say the least.
re: steakrules85
I've had the bacon. It was good, but not maple log donut with bacon good ;o)
I must say the more I research and read about Kenny and the food, the more I get excited about trying it out. I have listened to some interviews, read multiple stories, and perused several of his menus. And oh my God if you think the current one is long it is nothing compared to one from 2007. WOW is all i can say. http://www.seriouseats.com/images/sho.... The place sounds so awesome.
I actually even just bought the documentary "I Like Killing Flies" as it seems really entertaining.
re: steakrules85
It is quite entertaining, and watching Kenny is a trip, but I have to warn you that the camera work on the Shopsins documentary is not that steady (gave me a bit of motion sickness).
re: steakrules85
Had the Buddhaboy and Moonpie meatloaf a week or so ago. Both were amazing, in totally different ways. Light, moist, flavorful meatloaf topped with mole (yum!) and with a layer of cheese between two slices (get it, "Moonpie"?), then green beans and fried brussels sprouts mounded with gruyere on nicely toasted ciabatta bread. All cooked by Zach under Kenny's watchful eye; I have to say Zach's temperament was a little hilariously scary--as he angrily threw ingredients into the pan all I could think about was how all those Top Chef chefs say "you gotta cook with love" etc and here was Zach putting nothing but crazy anger in that food and MAN did it taste great :) At one point Kenny told him to "settle down". It was a blast and I'd totally go again. Coveted (silently!) my table-neighbor's pancakes.
re: prickle
Yeah haha thats awesome. You are not gunna find many menus like Shopsin's....so out there.
For those interested I finally made it there.... here is my short review.
Answering the title- It was never "great", though it was and still is interesting and different. That's not a slam on the guy at all.
Just wanted to update this thread because I believe Shopsin's deserves special mention. I have been back twice since and had great meals.
First time- Sliders with grilled onions, chocolate cherry shake. WOW! Chunks of cherries and chocolate super yum!
Second time I had the Boner I- Osso buco, poached eggs on polenta, and cornbread. Everything was delicious as always. The coconut shake had real bits of coconut in it, polenta was as delicious as my mom's, and the cornbread was simply the best I've ever had (they griddle it and it didn't even need butter).
Today I went back to try the Treif- Brisket sliders with jack cheese, grilled onions on unbelievable potato rolls. These are the same that they use for their burgers. Also went with the fried brussel sprouts which I have never eaten and these were some of the best "veggies" ever! Finally the morir sonando which is orange juice, lime juice, cream, ice so refreshing. If you go to Shopsin's you must get one of their incredible drink concoctions. I always tell myself going in I am going to skip a drink because it is so filling but once I start reading the selections I HAVE to order one. I love Shopsin's!
re: steakrules85
Some new dishes I've tried in my past few visits:
Cairo: chopped pastrami, fried egg, caramelized onions and tahini on toasted ciabbatta. Awesome sandwich, I could eat one of these for breakfast everyday.
As always nutella shake plus any other ingredient whatsoever makes for the best milkshakes I've ever had. Orange Julius was also very good.
The biryani with an egg on top and various stuff mixed in was also interesting, but really heavy.
I forget what it's called, but I had the chili cheese omelette with a pork tamale and toasted ciabatta. So good. They have ghost chiles now too, so now you can get those with the boogers (if you like heat).
re: steakrules85
mmmmm, thanks for the report steakrules85.
PS Maybe I'll have to try their lunch sometime :)
re: financialdistrictresident
You definitely should. It is great and you'll love it.
re: steakrules85
Been for breakfast.
steakrules85, when are you going to eat your way through the Capital Region? A steakrules is needed:
No Luger's . . .
re: financialdistrictresident
Haha wow I didn't even know that you created a thread and actually cited me. Thanks for the props and I am honored. Unfortunately, I am never in the Albany area so I cannot offer anything up on steakhouses there.
re: ulterior epicure
Ahaha so true ulterior!!!!!!!!!! CRAZY.
re: steakrules85
I mean, that circus needs some zoning laws. My goodness.
re: ulterior epicure
I agree it is probably the most daunting menu in the universe, but when you have 10,000 menu items I guess that is the only way you can get them all on one double-sided piece of paper. Plus it is just another way for the great Shopsin's to be quirky lol.
I think the funniest thing ever is when tourists come and they haven't looked at the menu ahead of time. They have no idea what they are in for and they sit at the table for a good half hour behofre deciding what they want. This has happened to be twice where I have ordered, eaten my whole meal, paid, lounged a few minutes and digest while the people next to me are pulling their hair out on what to order@!!!!
re: steakrules85
And wasn't it, like, hundreds of items longer before Essex St.?
Shopsin's General Store
120 Essex St, New York, NY 10002
re: squid kun
Yes, I have in my hands a six-page Shopsin's menu. I have to take a break between each page lest my eyes go cross.
re: squid kun
Yes, before, when they were on Carmine St. it was 11 pages long!
re: kathryn
That is really unbelievable. I am still amazed out how they are able to maintain such a varied menu in such a small place. It is kinda like Willy Wonka... do they have oompa loompas working with Zack back there now?
re: kathryn
ELEVEN?! I wonder if some of the things on the menu are the same, just under different names. It's doubtful anyone could (or would) eat through that entire menu to find out...
re: ulterior epicure
I nominate steakrules! He's got the appetite and could stand the weight! lol
re: RGR
LOL-- ain't that the truth! But seriously I agree nobody could ever eat their way through that menu. Besides, they change it every few weeks or so. I have eaten there twice in the last three weeks and the menu had changed during that span.
This thread is making me crave Shopsin's now and I think I may even go for lunch tomorrow!
re: steakrules85
I try to keep my visits to once a month. It usually kills my whole day since I need a nap afterwards (even after walking it off). I haven't gone in July and the end of the month is fast approaching...
It really is a fool's errand to attempt the whole menu, it changes so often depending on Kenny's ingredient of the moment, that it just doesn't make any sense to even try. I usually just look for something new and interesting, there's always undiscovered gems on that menu.
re: ChiefHDB
kenny told me whenever he smokes up (which he says is everyday) he experiments and combines different things. whenever he likes something alot he writes it down and adds it to the menu. he claimed to me the creativity of his menu comes from the pot he smoked lol.
re: steakrules85
@steakrules. You really should read this: http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2002...
re: ulterior epicure
Very interesting article and I have read that before. I remaind fascinated by Shopsin's and as I said the other day couldn't resist going back today.
What did I order? Fried grilled cheese with peanut butter, bacon, and guacamole on the side. Sound weird? Yes of course but it was damn good. Also got a side of the fried rutabaga which I had never had and they were delicious too. Think healthier french fries lol.
re: steakrules85
>Fried grilled cheese with peanut butter, bacon, and guacamole on the side.
That sounds delicious in a sort of dirty way.
re: uwsister
As are most of Shopsin's quirky concoctions! His fun is not only delicious but very fun as well. Very unique no question about that at all.

That sounds like a promising Man Vs. Food challenge.

More like Food Buddha. "I'll have OOE". What's that? "One of everything".
Can you imagine?
re: uwsister
If Adam brought Joey Chestnut and Kobayashi along they couldn't finish off that menu.
I'm planning a trip to NYC over Labor Day and am dying to go to Shopsin's. I may be alone and I may be with a friend when I go there. There's a chance I could be showing up about 1:00 on Sat. wheeling a carry-on sized suitcase. Could this get me kicked out? If I don't go at this time, I'll be going on Tues. morning - also with a suitcase.
I have looked at the menu so many times. High on my list to try are sliders, nutella or fluffernutter milkshake, slutty cakes, mac and cheese pancakes with hatch (I really want to try something with hatch) and ebelskivers. I know I can't get all that - I guess I'll just have to makeup my mind on the spot!
re: woodleyparkhound
Doubt it will get you kicked out, but you'd definitely have a much easier time going Tuesday morning. I've found that around 11am on weekdays is the best time to go.
re: woodleyparkhound
I agree with CheifHDB that the best time to go i midday on a weekday. You will not get kicked out with your suitcase. The whole thing about Shopsin's is just go there, mind your p's and q's and you will have no problem.
As far as the items you listed, I highly recommend any kind of pancakes and have had the slutty and mac n cheese from your list. Also the shakes are a must. Haven't had the chance to try ebels yet but definitely have it on my list. An idea is to get a half order of one kind of pancake and a half of of another that way you can try as much as possible. You can definitely do this and get a shake without any hassle from them. Good eatingggg, and have fun!
re: steakrules85
I spent the Labor Day weekend in NYC as planned. I decided to go back to DC on Tues. evening instead of Mon. for one reason only - so I could eat at Shopsin's on Tues. I arrived to find Kenny there doing inventory. His son was running around the kitchen by himself. I was standing there staring at the seemingly closed place, praying my eyes were deceiving me. Eventually Kenny asked if he could help me. He said they were closed on Tues. because the market had been closed on Mon. Sigh. So Shopsin's is STILL on my list. I could scream!
re: sixteenbiticon
Not sure either although I'm really curious. It says they are 2 so maybe its just 2 huge mac and cheese.
re: steakrules85
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Either that or whatever he adds to them to make them "PCP" is so dramatic that he deems 2 cakes a sufficient serving.
Now I'm torn between the castles w/hatch, the mac n cheese bread pudding french toast, and the santana pete.
Has anyone experienced the Moonpie meat loaf? I saw a picture, but still couldn't tell exactly what it was.
re: sixteenbiticon
I'm guessing it's a drug reference, but I haven't smoked angel dust since the 90s.
re: 2slices
Gotta be, knowing Shopsin.
re: 2slices
re: AubWah
Oh for goodness' sake. It's called Moonpie meat loaf because it's layered like a MoonPie.
i had 2 more visits and here's what pumpkin pie milk shake though not as good as the nutella mocha. fried french toast cubes, and the mo betta.
the lunch tray T1 is decent, ill list out the items since they change their menu often. lamb curry, spinach black lentils, papadum. It comes with duck quesadillas, these i really liked. my favorite things from there so far. i also tried the ebevskeviers, which i thought were just ok.
Tried one of the breakfast combo trays yesterday, B9 (online menu is slightly out of date when it comes to listing the items, I had coconut arepas instead of the guacamole). Enough food for two people for $26! They offered a box for me to take the leftovers home.
Three regular sliders (normally $10 for 3), 5 mac and cheese pancakes (they usually charge $10 for 3 and $18 for 6), fries (typically $5), and coconut arepas (more like a fritter, a little on the sweet side, and dense). Arepas weren't my thing, and their fries are good but a bit too browned for my preference, but the sliders and pancakes were great.
re: kathryn
i've tried their sliders and was very unimpressed. when you had them did kenny shopsin make them himself or were they made by some chubby kid?
re: daffyduck
Kenny was in the kitchen alongside two other people.
re: daffyduck
His son's sliders are actually better. I'm not sure why you were unimpressed.
re: Bone Thug n Hominy
I don't know, I had very high hopes for the sliders. but I found nothing special about it. I am a fan of having red meat on the rare side. At Shopsin's you aren't allowed to specific how you would like your burger or sliders to be served (at least you couldn't when I went). I like the sliders at Mark in the East Village (on St Marks Place) much better. Maybe I caught them on an off day but if I go to Shopsins again I much rather make more dents in their vast menu.

re: daffyduck
the sliders have decent texture but are underseasoned in my opinion.
re: daffyduck
I was just at Shopsins again today and had another fine meal. I absolutely love the place. This time got half order of smores french toast, half order red velvet pancakes, side of scrambled eggs and a cherry egg cream. Everything was wonderful.
I have had their sliders and will only eat my meat rare. I specified rare when I ordered them and Zack honored my request as best he could. It's kind of hard to get sliders rare since they're so small. I will say they were the best sliders I have ever had though for real.

re: steakrules85
When I get a craving for coconut arepas and smores french toast I know where to go. Let's hope it never happens.
re: Wilfrid
At least Shopsin's has ironclad operating hours and predictable rules of conduct. No danger of an aneurysm on that issue.
re: steakrules85
How often do you go? Do you ever get one of the variations on the sliders? The standard version is so good, I'm afraid to mess with it.
re: kathryn
Kathryn, I have only had two varieties. Their regular sliders with grilled onions and the Treif which is brisket and egg sliders with jack and onions. Both were simply fantastic. The sliders are so good there, I always fight myself not to order them again. However, with such an extensive interesting menu I just can't bring myself to order the same thing twice.
I don't go as often as I'd like but when I am on vacation from work or if I am feeling adventurous on a Sunday I'll make the commute and stop in. I work in the city but am usually nowhere near Shopsin's so its not a viable option. And with their hours it is kind of hard for the everyday working person to stop in unless it is on a weekend.
re: steakrules85
Same here, I don't go as often as I'd like either. Probably it is healthier that way!
I'm really interested in hearing from anybody who's had the fried chicken mac'n cheese sliders or the castles (3 mini-egg cheeseburgers + hatch chile, they look basically like the sliders).
re: kathryn
The fried chicken mac and cheese are really interesting to me. I may get them the next time I go. I'm off from work this week and am even contemplating going Friday to get them lol.
Completely unrelated but all this slider talk got me craving them so I went to White Manna in Hackensack NJ today. They were terrific!!!! 3 double cheeseburgers and I was feeling it. Definitely a wonderful alternative for those who can't get to Shopsins as easy.
re: steakrules85
Sliders arent my thing so i wouldnt travel out for them, but if youre ever craving them in the East Village area, I think the sliders at Mark are better than white castle. Though i dont know if theyre suppose to better at Hackensack NJ, I'm assuming all locations have the same quality. Mark is also open til at least 1am so you don't have to take off of work.
re: daffyduck
Daffy it wasn't a typo steakrules was referring to White Manna http://maps.google.com/maps/place?rlz...
re: kathryn
I had the Castles with hatch last time and, while they were good, they were nothing mindblowing. It was my first time having actual hatch chilies, and I immediately fell in love, otherwise I felt like there wasn't enough textural contrast. Extra pickles helped though.
My wife ordered the Mo'Betta and that blew my castles out of the water. I'll be visiting NYC again in a few weeks and am hellbent on trying the Mo'Jemima. I have a feeling Kenny's going to have to roll me out of there.
re: sixteenbiticon
Thanks! I love the regular sliders, too. They don't really have a ton of textural contrast either.
The real question is Mo'Betta 1 or Mo'Betta 2?
re: kathryn
At the time there was only the original version, I see now they've added the sausage variant, which might be good as well, I haven't had sausage there.
The poached eggs are what sell me on the Mo'Jemima. I'm not crazy about scrambled eggs, but whenever I see poached eggs on a menu it's hard for me not to order them. A full review will be on my blog, but our trip up there isn't until the second week in August.
re: daffyduck
To me Shopsin's is about breakfast. I know they supposedly have great soups and all that, but I don't think I would ever pass up their breakfast stuff to try those. S'Mores French Toast sounds amazing to me in that late-night-craving way.
re: uwsister
Yeah the smores french toast was really good. I mean obviously its not rocket science and something you can probably make at home. But its a fun dish and Zack really knocked it out of the park. The red velvets while good, didn't really have a strong discerning red velvet taste but nonetheless Shopsin's are griddle masters. You will always get a good pancake there.
I think i'd tend to agree about it being more of a breakfast place. I've had both breakfast and savory items and I think breakfast is more of a strong point.
Today's order:
Mr. Mention: jerk oxtail, chorizo chili mac, cheddar scrambled eggs, toast
H18: duck blisters on my sisters, maple donuts, chili mac
Chili mac was only OK but the jerk oxtail served on the bone was fantastic. I liked the duck blisters on my sisters but I probably wouldn't get it again. The maple donuts stole the show. Hot, fluffy, gooey, sweet rings of deliciousness!

re: kathryn
Speaking purely linguistically, not gastronomically, some of these offerings seem awful. If we deduct points for bad food should we not deduct points for bad names?
Today's order:
1/2 order of Swine Blues pancakes
Sliders with carmelized onions
Cap'n J -- fried chicken, scrambled eggs, two mac and jack pancakes
The swine blues pancakes are bacon and blueberry, which a bit of an odd combination, but tasty. The berries do taste a bit savory in this context. I noticed they use the small wild blueberries, and give you a ton in the batter. Sliders were magnificent, as usual. Cap'n J was delicious and huge! Unfinishable. I love the way the melted cheese from the two giant macaroni and jack pancakes get crispy on the edges. Delicious with a bite of scrambled egg, fried chicken, and lots of real maple syrup (grade A, dark) and their housemade hot sauce. Mmmmm.

re: kathryn
It's been awhile. Got to get back to Shopsin's and the Cap'n J is one I have never tried and got my eye on.

After years of honing his craft on the mixtape circuit, Mississippi's Big K.R.I.T. officially became one of the South's most formidable MCs when his Def Jam debut, Live from the Underground, dropped in June. Basically a mixtape on a fat-n-sassy Def Jam production budget, Underground finds the kid (born Justin Scott) who grew up idolizing UGK and the Geto Boys rhyming alongside Bun B himself on "Pull Up." (Wood wheel? Check.) Elsewhere, he does some "Hydroplaning" with Devin the Dude, helps 2 Chainz and 8Ball & MJG beat ZZ Top to the "25 Lighters"-saluting punch with "Money on the Floor," and leaves Underground with a sweet soul aftertaste via duets with Anthony Hamilton and B.B. King. Yes, the B.B. King.

NPS Rocks Photo Coverage of Battle of Chancellorsville 150th

MORE: See our special section on the Chancellorsville 150th Anniversary
The social media team under the National Park Service's Washington Office has been tearing it up photographically each and every day of the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Chancellorsville.
These folks are really pushing it to get great candid shots while touring with the visiting public and working with re-enactors, ducking beneath tree branches, plunging through undergrowth, and trying to be unobtrusive so visitors have a good experience.
My hat is off to them, as someone who has loved photojournalism since 1977.
You'll find the team's first 16 photo albums from the battle's anniversary here.
And the latest from the Fredericksburg area's national park here.

November 27, 2014
The final blowout went to Atlanta, so it's the Hawks who'll get a shot at LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Joe Johnson scored 27 points to make up for a mostly disappointing series and the Hawks won the first Game 7 ever played in Atlanta, beating Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat 91-78 Sunday to advance to the second round of the NBA playoffs for the first time in a decade.
A series totally devoid of drama ended in appropriate fashion. After a back-and-forth first quarter that ended with Atlanta ahead only 20-18, the Hawks pulled out to a 49-36 lead by halftime and led by as many as 29 points in the fourth period.
Every game in the series was decided by at least 10 points, and this one wasn't nearly as close as the final score.

|Phantom King(s)
|Lost Temple of Zios
|Hypnosis, Electrokinesis, Toxikinesis, Slime Manipulation, Levitation
|Hives, Great Tower (formerly), Phantom Beacon, Phantom Fortress, Phantom Factory
|Creation Date:
|October 31st
|The Phantoms came through Dark Portals, and they quickly spread through the uninhabited regions of Jamaa. Wherever the Phantoms went, they left a trail of spoiling destruction.
- The Phantoms' introduction in the Rise Of The Phantoms chapter.
The Phantoms are the main, only, and first antagonist in Jamaa and terrorize the world they were born into for unknown reasons. It is unknown where they come from, and could possibly be a foreign alien race. Phantoms first made their actual appearance on Jamaa's first Night Of The Phantoms; before then they were only mentioned from Animal Jam Headquarters of being the upcoming villain.
Average Phantoms: Phantoms are a slightly small, pitch-black creatures with eight tentacles (four on the main body, four on the head) and one large, unblinking, black-pupil eye in the middle of the body.
Phantom Kings: A Phantom King looks different - it is much bigger with violet-purple round spots around its bottom half of the body and a cracked-looking set of spikes on the head, like a crown.
Phantom Goops: Large black slug-like goop piles with violet-purple outskirts, and one large eye in the middle which is followed by three much smaller eyes.
Their personality are very antagonistic, menacing, aggressive and savage. The only thing they know is to destroy nature itself - this makes them very sadistic and evil. It is unknown why they are this way.
According to the legend from the Beta Testing, it was Mira who made the very first Phantoms from her tears. However Animal Jam Headquarters have changed this, saying that the Phantoms came from a foreign world and could've evolved from there. Modern Phantoms are now spawned from Phantom Sprouters, Phantom Pods, and even the Phantom King(s). According to Greely, Phantoms can't reproduce which means they are unable to have children, along with this, Greely also stated that Phantoms don't have genders and this is probably why they cannot breed. Later on, revealed in Bitter Sweets, Phantoms are using candy to reproduce. It's unknown how the Phantoms managed to do this.
According to the new legend, Phantoms first appeared through Dark Portals from their own world during the time where Jammers fought with each other. It is unknown why they came to Jamaa, but they seem to want to destroy it. Phantoms started to steal the animal's Heartstones, which caused the animal species to be trapped inside. They took all the Heartstones until there were only six animals left (Pandas, Koalas, Monkeys, Bunnies, Tigers and Wolves). The six remaining animals then started to gather and start an army to fight against the Phantoms. Later, after Mira and Zios' travels to look for help, the Alphas came and helped with the military after being chosen by Mira and Zios to do so. When the Phantoms were defeated and started to flee, they defeated and kidnapped Zios, leaving behind his mask, and went into a Dark Portal. Mira followed them quickly into the portal as well. It is unknown what the Phantoms have done with the two gods.
Return of the Phantoms: They first appear in the Return of the Phantoms, where they terrorize a Bunny village by destroying their crops and kidnapping their villagers.
The Phantom Portal: Next they appear in The Phantom Portal, where they try to get one of the Phantom Kings into the main land of Jamaa by getting it through a portal.
Meet Cosmo: After that in the Meet Cosmo adventure, they terrorize a field where the Koalas live and kidnapping them. Their goal is unknown in this adventure and it was possibly just to have fun by locking up Koalas.
The Hive: In The Hive, the Player enters one of their bases. At the end the a Phantom King appears to try get rid of the Player.
The Great Escape: In The Great Escape, they seem to have taken over the Great Tower and they are quite happy to take the Player as a prisoner. In the end it is discovered by Greely that they plan to use a volcano to destroy Jamaa.
Greely's Inferno: The next adventure, they go ahead with the plan on destroying Jamaa only to be stopped by both Greely and the Player.
The Search For Greely: They are seen when the Player enters the Phantom Vortex in The Search For Greely and try to stop the Player from rescuing Greely.
Bubble Trouble: In Bubble Trouble they seem to be making a factory of some sort; believed to be a factory to produce more Phantoms.
In Too Deep: They seem angry when the Player starts to destroy their factory. And it is discovered that they have captured the Dolphin Alpha Tavie.
Turning The Tide: The Phantoms try to prevent anyone from rescuing Tavie and they have easily captured the Bottlenose Squad. Near the end, many of them are defeated by both the Player and the Bottlenose Squad.
The Phantoms appear in all types of games in Jamaa. Mostly being the villain of them all. They appear in games such as Falling Phantoms, Wind Rider, Fruit Slinger and Hedge Hog. They also appear in all the Summer Carnival games as targets.
Side Games
They briefly appears at the start of Tunnel Town in the short animated video. The group of Phantoms try to kidnap a female Bunny but was stopped by the Bunny's supposedly lover. The biggest Phantom of the group creates a portal where the male Bunny is teleported to another dimension. It is unknown if Phantoms can do this on the main game. They also appear in AJ Jump where they try to prevent the Player from going higher by striking them with their electricity.
- Phantoms' electricity seem to come in colors sometimes. The original electricity was blue, then changed to red, then again to purple. More colors were shown on items such as green, pink and yellow.
- The meaning of "Phantom" is Ghost. This is understandable because of their ghostly behavior and movement.
- At the Summer Carnival, you can get cotton candy shaped as a Phantom by choosing black cotton candy, followed by white cotton candy, then black cotton candy again.
- During the Night Of The Phantoms the Mira's Statue is replaced by a giant red Tall Phantom Statue.

Apple patents the super-soaraway selfie system of the future
Apple has embarked on a mission to allow fanbois to take the best quality mobile phone selfies in the history of humanity. As well as a new section in the iTunes store specifically dedicated to "Sharing Selfie" apps which allow fanbois to share pictures of their ugly mug, the fruity firm has patented a system to allow them to …
So it's true
a new section in the iTunes store specifically dedicated to "Sharing Selfie" apps
This confirms we have long passed peak civilisation and it's all downhill from here.
I'm going to stock up with food and fuel as iPhone-wielding barbarians will be at the gates soon.
Re: So it's true
Who would ever want to be seen out with a device dedicated to total rubbish like this? It must be the marketing equal of anti matter.
I'm going to stock up with food and fuel as iPhone-wielding barbarians will be at the gates soon.
Do you work in a Apple store?
Re: So it's true
The game Neo-Scavenger actually follows this type of event. After the world falls from an unknown event, you awake in a post apocalyptic scene with nothing more than the dirt around you and you have to survive.
I-pads are used as lighting or their position sensors as early warning from invaders. :P
Re: So it's true
I'm going to stock up with food and fuel as iPhone-wielding barbarians will be at the gates soon.
I wouldn't worry too much - once they reach the gates they'll start looking for a giant sling to fling birds at them with: as long as you don't have any of those around, you should be safe...
Please bring the launch date for MarsOne forward.
I don't think I can wait until 2023 anymore . . .
Mine's the space suit.
Re: Please bring the launch date for MarsOne forward.
Mine's the space suit.
Don't forget your camera . . .
Re: Please bring the launch date for MarsOne forward.
Mars, wow, imagine the selfie you could take from there!
Available on Webcams everywhere.
So they've added hipster glasses, beards and pipes to those stupid apps that track your face then?
Hang on...
So what is a digital SLR or micro 2/3 camera but an electronic device attached by a bayonet connection to a lens?
On second thoughts, now I've actually looked at the patent, it's an attempt to find a way of connecting a mobile phone camera to an accessory lens so that if you drop it, the accessory lens falls off instead of breaking the tiny mechanism built in to the phone.
The problem is that having a great big cylinder attached to the top corner of the phone is a bit unwieldy anyway - you have to hold it so the screen is visible, it can't be used like a handgrip.
The Sony solution, a separate lens system with its own sensor and battery, looks an awful lot better.
Re: Hang on...
I remember my Sony-Erricson T68i (or whatever) could get a separate camera to attach. :P
Re: Hang on...
As Yogi Berra said; "this is like deja vu all over again". I thought I'd seen something similar and wondered why Apple didn't go the magsafe plug route. The answer is photojojo ate their magnetic lunch.
"looks set to render the next generation the most boring, vain and self-obsessed to date."
Unlike the thoroughly well-adjusted crew of commentards who frequent your web site, naturally, who are entirely free of societal peccadilloes and were certainly not regarded by their elders as having taken an unprecedented southward step in human development - just like every other generation since people figured out what generations were.
Seriously, the Reg is mocking people for being shallow - in an article that takes a patent for an add-on lens mechanism and turns it into a flailing, spittle-flecked rant about selfies? The only people I know who are obsessed with selfies are people feverishly railing about the end of civilization because they saw some 20-dumbest list on Buzzfeed. I think I'd rather dine with the boring, vain, and self-obsessed yoof.

All games crashing to desktop, need assistance
This has been going on for a while now, and I've just about reached my limit. Couldn't decide on whether to post here or in the crashes section, seemed like this is a safer bet to start.
The problem is that every game I try and play will work anywhere from 5 mins to 1.5 hours, then crash to desktop, with the average time before crash probably in the 15-30 minute range. A list of games that this happens to:
Far Cry 3
Don't Starve
IL2 Sturmovik: 1946
Rise of Flight
Guild Wars 2
Farming Simulator 2011/2013 (yes, plz don't laugh)
Most of these games save your progress automatically on a frequent basis, so I was always just able to reload and continue without too much problem. The flight sims and Far Cry 3 aren't like this, I had to watch the first cut-scene with Dennis three times due to crash to desktop before I reached a point where it would save. I'm sick of dealing with it and I would love some help.
I just upgraded to a HD7870 last week from a 4890, was really hoping that the upgrade would fix it. No such luck for me, although I do love the card so far, everything runs like butter before it crashes. I do have the most recent drivers for it, used Driver Fusion and CCleaner to get rid of old driver fragments before installing the new ones and everything. All temps look good too, the new card idles around 27C, gets up to around 65C on load. CPU temps seem fine too, 30C idle, 45C load.
Event viewer does have some info, though I'm not certain how to decode it. I'll attach a couple of them to this, maybe you experts can tell me what it means? One from FC3, one from xcom, and one that I have no idea where it comes from or if it's even related, but it is a little scary.
My first post on this site, seems like a wealth of info here. Glad I found it!
My system:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
AMD Phenom II x4 B50
Saphire Radeon HD7870
12gb DDR3 1600
Seagate 250gb HDD
|My System Specs
|19 Dec 2012
I'll take the lack of response to mean that I should have posted in the crashes section.
I did some more research and figured it out, if anybody's interested. 0x000005 was a common error code across all the error logs that I had regarding game crashes. I discovered that this error code had to do with not being able to access RAM, so the program would terminate. I did a check of my hardware, and it seems that one of my RAM sticks wasn't seated properly. I didn't feel a difference when I removed the stick in slot 4, but when I took it out and plugged everything back in, I was able to play FC3 for a couple of hours without problems. I thought it may have been a bad stick, so to confirm I swapped it with the stick in slot 3. Managed to play another hour without problems, so I put the stick back into slot for. Played for another hour without problems, so I'm assuming that it just wasn't seated properly. I did move a few months ago, so maybe it somehow got jarred loose during that process. *shrug*
Moral of the story: Learn what error codes mean, and check your hardware after moving!

Wonderful property!
The property was just perfect! The location, the amenities, the owners....all wonderful. We had our two young children with us and we all had a blast. David and Maria were so kind and responsive with inquires and requests. They even brought over a high chair for us! We were obsessed with Kellogg Beach and spent time there every day. The neighborhood is darling and everything you need is a quick walk or a 5 minute drive away, though the unit itself is so well stocked. (Thank you wine opener and coffee maker!! :). We will definitely be back and this property will be our first choice!

PAWTUCKET — There was Paul Labossiere, as usual focused on the task at hand inside the McCoy Stadium ticket office. To this Central Falls native and current Lincoln resident, Labor Day Monday was typical – no deviation in the slightest from the previous 71 PawSox home dates in the 2012 season, or the 39 years of loyal service that preceded this one.
PAWTUCKET – It's closing time for your Pawtucket Red Sox – as in closing out the opposition and advancing to the Governor's Cup finals.
First things first as the PawSox still need to notch one more win against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Such a scenario could come to fruition as early as Friday night at Rochester's Frontier Field after Pawtucket grabbed Game Two of its opening-round series Thursday night by a 3-2 count at McCoy Stadium before 2,214 supportive and at times enthusiastic fans.
The temptation to overlook this week's non-league gridiron slate is great, understanding that league play – set to commence a week from now – serves as judge, jury and executioner.
Over time, principles rooted in Darwinism help in separating the wheat from the chaff by performing the simple act of drawing a line right down the middle. Such a divide won't begin on Friday night as teams partake in what could essentially be chalked up to the final installment after nearly four weeks of preseason camp.
PROVIDENCE — Last year, Mount St. Charles rattled off 15 straight victories, the first 14 good for an undefeated regular-season mark and the Division I-North championship, before falling to Ponaganset in a crushing state tournament semifinal.
The Mounties, hoping for a repeat of that success in 2011, opened this campaign in rather impressive fashion, posting a rather easy 3-0 triumph over Division I-North foe Classical at the Al Morro Athletic Complex gymnasium on Wednesday night.
PAWTUCKET – One down, five to go.
Seeking to claim the franchise's first Governor's Cup championship in 28 years, the Pawtucket Red Sox grabbed Game One of the best-of-five opening-round series against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, 7-4. The PawSox fell behind 4-0 after 2½ innings before compiling seven unanswered runs to end the contest, which was witnessed by 1,518.
PAWTUCKET – Larry Lucchino admitted Wednesday that he tries to clear his schedule and make a once-per-season pilgrimage to McCoy Stadium. In that regard, the Red Sox's president and CEO should thank the PawSox for advancing to the Governor's Cup playoffs.
Providing a textbook case of better late than never, Lucchino took in Wednesday's playoff opener from Pawtucket president Mike Tamburro's box.
Arriving roughly 3 1/2 hours prior to the scheduled 7:05 first pitch, Lucchino spent quite a bit of time in the home team's clubhouse and in the company of PawSox skipper Arnie Beyeler.
WOONSOCKET — There's a drumbeat sounding on the local airwaves with a specific demographic in mind – the high school football enthusiast.
With two graduates from Woonsocket High School's Class of 1985 serving as the driving force, radio station WOON (1240 AM) is staking a claim to become the destination for all gridiron-related matters. Starting with this Friday's non-league game between Shea and Lincoln, WOON has lined up a 14-game slate – an increase from nine a season ago – featuring the voice talents of Lou Mandeville, now in his 15th season calling the action.
PAWTUCKET — There was a degree of unrest surrounding Zach Stewart upon rejoining the Pawtucket Red Sox late last week, the kind stemming from when he would be taking the mound again and for which ball club.
PAWTUCKET — Summarizing the 2012 Pawtucket Red Sox, just one word springs to mind.
Yes, this season's club will be remembered for earning a second straight postseason berth, a first for this proud franchise since 1996-97. Yet the route that manager Arnie Beyeler along with his coaches and merry band of interchangeable parts followed in order to play baseball beyond Labor Day is, putting it mildly, unique.
PAWTUCKET — Augusto Rojas and the Pawtucket Red Sox got everything they could ask for and more from their inaugural PawSox 5K Race/Walk at McCoy Stadium.
A sunny morning. A strong turnout. Plenty of positive feedback.
And a fantastic finish for first place.
In a thrilling conclusion that had the fans scattered along the stadium's lower box seats cheering wildly, Geoff Nelson survived a frantic sprint with Nathan Petesch around the warning track by nipping him at the finish line near the PawSox's dugout by less than a second.
