On the first Monday of the month, culinary collective A Razor, A Shiny Knife staged a guerrilla six course lunch on the L train, which sounded pretty delicious to us, kind of annoying to some of you, and rather impressive to the NY Times. Now, the group has released a video of the subway d'hôte, taken by one food blogger who "wore a camera mounted to a headband for the entire platform plating & train car service."
Even though most of our readers believe eating on the subway should be made illegal, all the unsuspecting riders who took part in this event look like they had a pretty great time. Of course, no spaghetti was involved with this meal.
