I had to take it back to Brooklyn.
From the time I moved there until the year I moved to Oakland, veggie patties were one of my staples. I lived in Crown Heights my first year, and there was a slammin’ Jamaican restaurant right down the block from my apartment. One of those hole-in-the-wall joints that always had a line extending to the sidewalk. When I moved to Clinton Hill there was a Golden Crust Restaurant around the corner from my spot that always held it down (but not as good as the first place). I know they are often eaten as snack, but when you’re living on a graduate school stipend of $15,000.00 per year in New York City, a $1.50 veggie pattie moves quickly into the meal column. I do the same with these, usually eating them with a large green salad.
