Nando's: The Great New York Wait
Is it just me, or does the city that never sleeps have a serious case of FOMO when it comes to Nando's?
New York, the city of dreams, where you can find everything from a slice of pizza to a slice of life, is mysteriously lacking one crucial ingredient: Nando's PERi-PERi chicken. It's like a puzzle with a gaping hole where a juicy, flame-grilled chicken piece should be.
The Nando's Drought
We've got bodegas on every corner, delis that could rival a small country, and more food trucks than you can shake a stick at. But no Nando's. It's a travesty, people! We're talking about a culinary institution here, a place where chicken is elevated to an art form. A place where you can choose your spice level from "I can handle this" to "send help."
I mean, seriously, what’s the deal, Nando's? Are you trying to punish us for something? Did we accidentally eat the last slice of New York cheesecake without sharing? Because if that’s the case, we’re truly sorry. Let’s just bring the Nando's and call it even.
The Hunger Games
Every time I see a post about someone's Nando's haul on social media, it’s like a dagger to the heart. I can practically taste the smoky, spicy goodness. And don’t even get me started on the sides. Those garlic bread and sweet potato fries are the stuff dreams are made of.
I’ve tried to fill the Nando's-shaped void with other chicken places, but it's just not the same. It's like trying to replace a diamond with a rhinestone. Sure, it might sparkle, but it's just not the real deal.
The Hope Lives On
So, Nando's, we're begging you. Please, pretty please, with a PERi-PERi chicken on top, come to New York. We promise to treat you right. We'll even let you use our favorite bodega as inspiration for your decor. Just give us that delicious, addictive chicken and we'll be eternally grateful.
Until that day comes, we'll just have to keep dreaming about it and sharing our Nando's cravings with the world. Maybe if enough of us complain (or beg, or plead), they'll finally get the hint.
Fingers crossed.
