The Crack Shack

Dr Ray Stantz: I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something I loved from my childhood. Something that could never ever possibly destroy us. Mr. Stay Puft!
Dr. Peter Venkman: Nice thinkin’, Ray.

There is a big adult play area in the courtyard.

Quite a few choices on the menu but I’m focused on trying the fried chicken.  Batter was very crunchy and the chicken was tender and juicy.  There were some tasty spices in the batter too.  Sadly I don’t like Tabasco sauce which was the dominate flavor.  Next time I’m in the mood for $15 gourmet fried chicken I’m going to Streetcar Merchants.

Smaltz fried fries which were french fries fried in chicken fat which had a delicious flavor.  Bold potato flavor reminds me of the fries at The Field.

I don’t like the chicken here but the fries are great and the big chicken is really cute like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.

  1. I’ve wanted to visit this place. And siting of Chef Blais? That’s unfortunate you didn’t like the fried chicken as much. I’m hoping to visit Streetcar this weekend! I want those whole chicken wings!

    1. I didn’t see the chef. 🙁 I would have gotten his photo if i had. Have fun at Streetcar! I should go soon too!

      1. Take me to streetcar too! I have never been there and you can have the donuts. =P

        1. I’ll take you as part of our wing adventure! I’m not a big fan of the donuts…
