Franklin Corner Store Food Porn
After having a heaping helping of anti-semitism for breakfast, I have decided polish off my day with something that makes me happy: the Franklin Corner Store.
Greenpoint is not very well appointed when it comes to restaurants. Especially if you happen to be a vegetarian (like me). I do not mean to short-change the likes of Casa Mon Amour, The Chinese Musician, or Paloma; all the previous are excellent restaurants.
They simply don’t induce the transcendent state of carbohydrate-overload bliss in my person that the Franklin Corner Store’s “El Mexicano” sandwich does. Nothing does.
I realize this photo is a bit washed out, so I will give you a general rundown of the contents of the above sandwich:
- Two kinds of cheese
- Bean Dip
- Green Peppers
- Jalapeno Peppers (I request this as an add-on)
- Lettuce
- Tomato
- Avocado
- Onion
- Orgasm-inducing flavor
Some of my fellow Greenpointers bemoan how long it takes for these guys to make a sandwich. I don’t. If you want a sandwich made quickly, without tender loving care and entertaining banter, go to Subway. On the other hand, if you want to eat something that will blow your fucking mind, go to the Franklin Corner Store, place your order, park your ass in front of their television and wait for about 10-15 minutes (like everyone else). It’ll be the best $6.00 you’ll ever spend.
Franklin Corner Store
210 Franklin Street
Brooklyn, New York 11222
Phone: per their menu, they don’t have one. (718) 389 – 4575
When you go, be sure say “Hi” to the Franklin Corner Kid and give Oreo (who likes to meet and greet customers outside the front door) a good tummy rub…
…and a table scrap or two.
