Jimbo Eats New York is an interactive documentation of Jimbo's reviews. All of the restaurants Jimbo reviews are located in midtown Manhattan and serve a filling meal for under five bucks. We're talking about NYC's cheapest lunch.Q. How can these be frequently asked? I just read on the news page that the site's only a few months old.
Don't be an ass. Just read the easy to understand Q & A dialog, OK?Q. Who is Jimbo?
Jimbo is a regular guy who is trying to get out of having a day job by helping people eat cheap lunch. He knows quite a bit about food and eating. Chowing is his favorite hobby.Q. Why should I trust him?
Just like you, Jimbo works a boring job in midtown. Just like you, Jimbo is fed up with the idea of spending his paltry salary on stupid $10 sandwiches with stupid "field greens" on them from stupid pseudo-European "cafes".
Jimbo's qualifications for this position include twenty-eight years of gorging, penny-pinching, and under-achieving.Q. So why's he so skinny then?
No one really knows.Q. Why doesn't he give a more detailed rating than "Good" "OK" or "Bad"?
The rating system was chosen for simplicity, and allows for different palates. Jimbo knows he can't tell you what to like. The system instead favors restaurants that fill Jimbo's gut quickly and cheaply.Q. Why are there so few "bad" reviews?
Plus, there's no complicated system for you to learn.
Every time Jimbo does a review, he's putting his lunch on the line. Because food is so important to his happiness, he tries to screen out the kind of ugliness that would cause him to give a "bad" (ie roaches, REALLY bad service, Jimbo's not full, etc.)Q. So he's not "for sale" or "crooked" then?
Rest assured, if he goes to such a Sh!#hole, you will hear about it.
Hell no. In fact, many have suggested that Jimbo take money to give good reviews, and he promptly told them where to put their ideas. Jimbo is on the up and up. On the level. Running a square house.Q. Where do these restaurants come from? Who chooses them?
It depends. Jimbo prefers places referred by site visitors, but sometimes he's forced to fend for himself. In this case, a random stop trial can and does happen. However, Jimbo hates to gamble with his lunch, so the rarer the stop trial, the better.Q. I have a cheap lunch idea I think Jimbo will like. How do I tell him?
Send an email to jimbo@jimboeatsnewyork.comQ. What does "In'n'Out" mean?
When Jimbo enters a restaurant, he starts a stopwatch. The clock stops when the food's in hand as Jimbo walks out the door. We know your lunchtime is valuable and this will help you make the most of it.Q. What is the point of the funhouse?
If you don't know, I can't help you.Q. Are you "high" or something?
Next question please.Q. How often does Jimbo add a new restaurant review?
Ideally, every day. Realistically, once every 2-3 days.Q. How do I get off the mailing list?
