Joe Shanghai Lunch (Flushing, NY) 2014-07-19

Joe Shanghai Lunch (Flushing, NY) 2014-07-19

Made it up to Joe Shanghai in Flushing for lunch.  Very good value in Flushing, NY with quick service and excellent soup dumplings.  To mix it up, we ordered duck this time and it was pretty decent.  Reminded me a bit of a braised pork shoulder recipe with duck.

Top Chef Spike Mendelsohn's Good Stuff Eatery has opened a location in Philadelphia.  Expanding from Washington D.C. I stopped in to see what the buzz was about.

The only disappointment is that you can't order the burgers to temp, they're all made one way.  Asides from that, the patty's are substantial and there are plenty of varieties to choose from.  I settled on a double pattied bacon melt that was definitely filling.  There are also plenty of dipping sauces for the fries and even the brugers if you wish.  I'll definitely be back to try different burgers and to try the various sauces with my fries.  Lastly, I rounded out my decadent meal with a red velvet milkshake.  There are plenty of flavors to try out there as well.  Definitely worth stopping in if you're in the neighborhood as it lives up to the hype.  Seating is available upstairs.
