New York chefs stew over ban on trans fats

“What New York does better than any other American city is the risky $4 lunch, the culinary answer to betting it all on red 32 in roulette — fun in the moment, ill-advised later on. Were talking about establishments like 116 Cuchifritos, a restaurant in Spanish Harlem on 116th Street, not far from Third Avenue.

“Cuchifritos” is a genre of quick-stop diner, Puerto Rican by heritage, and the name loosely translates as “Bring Your Own Lipitor.” If you didnt know better you would think the cuisine here was part of some “Apocalypto”-style enemy attack on the hearts of the Latino population, except through the arteries instead of directly through the chest.”
