MY FAVORITE MEAT IS MEAT

Let me be more specific. I like meat, and I especially love good meat, like fall off the bone fatty short-ribs meat and savory tender strip steak meat and musky salty lamb chop meat and fresh red juicy hamburger meat. That's the kind of meat I mean, but, you know, I can't get it all the time. Which, actually, is for the better, because an overload of meat, good or not, is bad for the belly and bad for the heart and I want this thing to pump forever. Or at least another 70 years.

This is all just to say that I have eaten the steak and eggs at Schiller's on Rivington. Forgive me: they were mediocre. So tough and so small.
