All About Food on 32nd St had their grand opening today and was giving away free food. There was a constant mob line of people in front of the establishment but i was in and out in less than 10 minutes. It's a hot/cold buffet, pizza, deli, coffee, sushi place not unlike the 15,000 other similar places in midtown, but bigger and nicer due to their extensive renovation. They were giving out big containers for you to fill up with buffet items, slices of pizza, sandwiches and bottles of water all for free! I must admit their pizza is the best i've had in midtown and the buffet items tasted much better than i expected. Ingredients such as pomegranate seeds, capers, orange and red bell peppers and real wild rice were used - unusual for a midtown buffet.

After another round of shopping, be and i tried to eat at City Bakery but it was closed, so i suggested Mandler's: The Original Sausage Co. P introduced the place to me and their veggie sausage is pretty good. I like their hot sauce and the breads used to wrap the sausages in are very hearty. Tonight we both ordered combo meals; the corn fritters i had were excellent and be liked his zucchini fries too. The corn fritters still weren't as good as the cafeteria at Random House, though. It sounds weird to admit, but yes, someone in the Random House cafeteria makes a mean batch of corn fritters. I once ate lunch there with my friend ZZ and be who was temping there at the time, and would totally go back just for those fritters.
