Crispy Soul Chicken

This evening P, glomar, be and i had dinner at VP2 (Vegetarian's Paradise 2) in the West Village. Even though i'm the only one who's really vegetarian, everyone else was excited about eating there because of one dish: Crispy Soul Chicken. I haven't had real chicken since late 1991 so i've forgotten what it really tastes like, but current chicken-eaters proclaim it's really tasty and that the crispy breaded outside is great. An appetizer portion is 8 pieces for $5.95 and it comes with a tangy dipping sauce. The CSC was excellent, as usual, but i have to admit i find their other dishes merely okay. Some of them are better than others but generally i am disappointed in their other offerings, for a place that makes 1 certain dish so well that it's trademarked! We all agreed that next time, we should just order multiple portions of CSC.

I was pro double-dinner (eat dinner at one establishment, then walk immediately to a second establishment and eat another dinner) VP2 and then Kati Roll Company, but by the time we left VP2 we were all too sleepy. I've been craving the potato filled Kati Roll for a time now. The paratha bread is so crispy and oily (in a good way) and it's rolled around your choice of fillings. There is usually a wait (if not a line out the door) since your roll is made just when you order it. I always get 2 of them since they are so yummy!
