El Castillo de Jagua gets a C from health department

I walked by and the big yellow "C" grade is hanging in the the window of El Castillo (affectionately know as El Carneviento) on Flatbush Avenue. Usually, when I walk by it is crowded with folks getting breakfast sandwiches but not today.

    seriously. We don't eat there because we think it is health food.

    C as in delicious CUBAN sandwich!


    Letter grades don't mean anything, most A grades are paid off. Diane Sawyer just had an expose on it (though I already knew it from living in other states and seeing it happen)

    So does this mean another happy hour at Sharlene's to support Carneviento (and eat some pernil?)

    It could.


    But we could also just eat at Carniviento


    ....I think they have beer for those who want it.

    F the DOH. I'm going to keep getting mamey shakes, fried shrimp and pork chop sandwiches, pastelitos, and cheap, mediocre espresso.

    You're being kind when you call their espresso "mediocre."

    Festivus at Grand Castillo?? This would be a nice change, plus just imagine the chaos and fun we'd have!

    Peeps, lets make this happen! Dinner at Carneviento and late night drinks at Sharlene's (pets allowed at the ladder) for Festivus?

    I'm guessing, I put in so much sugar that's it more like that slush the day after it snows. But it is better than their coffee ;)

    Mougar, how often do you eat NYC slush that you know it is similar to their coffee?


    ....and people say I need a hobby. Mougar is eating slush!

    Nah, it only looks the like the slush. I can confidently say it tastes 53% better (+/- 15% depending on trash concentration).
