“Forsyth Fire Escape is fire. They take a chinese scallion pancake and use it as a burrito wrap. And it slaps, especially with some of their homemade lemongrass chili crisp sauce”

replying to u/jamesmurphie: I was so excited for the scallion pancake/Pernil burrito from Forsyth Fire Escape. Literally was salivating over it for a year on insta, then they finally opened their formal Chelsea market location. Was a heavy, greasy, bland, rock (that sat in my stomach for 3 days). I’ve never taken such a depressing and painful shit.
“I second this opinion. I was so disappointed and I had indigestion & heartburn for days.”
