Razors Edge ★ Posted November 5, 2020 Share #4 Posted November 5, 2020 I'm also pretty sure that when your order that in NYC, it is actually spit pee soup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is another soup place about 25 yards away from me, too. Soup is not metric distance compatible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted November 5, 2020 Share #7 Posted November 5, 2020 So what is the story on that! Here, lmgtfy! It is hard to find WHY, but it sounds like they might naturally split along a natural fault line when dried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very good, but expensive. $8 or so for a small soup, but they give you bread and a piece of fruit. Hale & Hearty is the other one close by, it is a chain. It is also good, and also expensive. I get soup out once a year or so if I am not in the office, more often if I am scrambling for lunch (but that hasn't happened since March). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to have a burger place that was really excellent, but it was the same way. Do not ask questions. Do not change the burger from their normal routine. NO small talk. Just order, and shut up. It was ran by some older ladies, and they were grouchy as all hell. Great food. Homemade buns that were fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen him, but I would be looking for the actor that played him. Anyway, they aren't mean, they just show serious disinterest in being chatty with anyone. I think the conditions that allowed them to be picky with their customers back in the day have waned for the most part. There is another soup place across the street and multiple fast and slow food options at hand. Probably there wasn't much soup competition at the time, and no internet or yelp backlash to be concerned about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is why our local place acted this way. Order and please shut up and step in line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted November 5, 2020 Share #14 Posted November 5, 2020 These guys only know how to split peas in 1/2, that’s why! Anderson’s Pea Soup joints used to dot the 5 Fwy along CA but I think there is only one now. These two were their mascots. My parents used to love going to the one in Carlsbad & hit the Euro market for cheese & other goodies they sold. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The place is a hoot. And yes the menu includes Cheeseburgers and cheeseburgers and Coke (no Pepsi) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
