Ode to the Chimichurri

You can't ever go wrong with the ultimate late night meal: A chimi y un jugo de chinola. For those who've never had one, a chimi is the Dominican version of the hamburger. It is basically crack on a bun. No if's, and's, or but's. It officially has been deemed the Dominican Big Mac (at least I deemed it that, so eff ya lol). C'mon son...how can it not be? An all beef patty (I think...at least I hope lol) smothered in our special, mayo-kechu (mayonaisse and ketchup for you non-hick speakin' ppl), with diced cabbage makes this the most delightful sandwich on earth (at least I'd say so). Of course, you have to know the best places to cop a chimi. I've grown fond of the chimi spot on 207 in front of Melodia's. As much as I hate the lady who takes your order (no offense if it's anyones fam, but she definitely needs to take Customer Service 101...but fuck it, when you have a great business, who needs to be nice lol), you can't go wrong with gettin' it from there. I definitely recommend "Chimi Row" which is located on the Highbridge section of the Heights (upper 170's and Amsterdam Ave). Mind you, you will bump into the stereotypical Dominican male: 5ft 6 inches, short hair (with blonde streaks lookin' like Tulile), a tight, spandex-like t-shirt with a glittery silver or gold graphic. Unfortunately for us, these dudes have a huge ass belly and shouldn't really be rockin' these types of clothing, but I digress.

I've forgetten the perfect compliment to this sexy ass sandwich. Jugo de chinola (passion fruit juice or for my Colombians, maracuya) is the liquid form of sex (and may I add that it goes well with Brugal, but thats for another discussion lol). Packed with like 162 grams of sugar, this drink makes my peepee do a sit-up (Ari you a fool for this one lol). Add that to the already delightful chimi, and you my friend, are set. So there you have it folks, the greatest late night meal of all: Chimi with a jugo de chinola...crackkk
