Like Cheetos? Get in line.

Or get on the wait list anyway.

Today’s the day the Spotted Cheetah opens inside a Tribeca bar. There’s some bad news, though, if you expected to go knock down some mac and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos for lunch (either jokingly or for real) — you better stop by the corner bodega first. Not only is the pop-up fully booked, but The Wall Street Journal reports that the wait list has climbed past 1,000 people.

Unless you are an insider, press, or have a crap-load of money, don't ever expect to get into any event or restaurant opening in NYC, EVER. This is what happens when an area is beyond overcrowded and the hype machine is in full effect.
Same thing happened with NYCC. Up until a couple of years ago, I could get a NYCC badge the week before. Now with the nerd/geek culture being cool, you have to be on a list, be an industry insider (which I am), be certified press (sorry, bloggers), be a celebrity, or wait on a virtual line and try your luck at getting a pass. Sporting events are just as bad, if not worse, as are concerts. I wanted to go see L7 last year and it sold out in 30 minutes. L7...L-friggin-7. They could barely sell out in the 90s. Now their shows sell out in minutes? WT-everloving-F?!?!? A friend of mine went to the show and guess what? Not even close to capacity. Resellers (or their proper term, SCALPERS) have effectively ruined almost every event in the area. Problem being that they are making money at it so it is likely it will never end. NYCC tried with their fan-certification system, but that barely put a dent in it.
Sorry. *Rant over*

Excuse me, is this the line for the Cheetos, or for the try-before-you-buy sex robot?

Flaming hot Cheetos flavored sex robot. Woot!

I didn't follow the link but I know the idiot behind the menu is that no-talent embarrassment to the culinary world Anne Burrell.

There's no way Cheetos could get a real chef to take part in this nonsense.

rant over.

You're in luck. The sexbot should be covered in Cheeto dust handprints after just the 6th or 7th customer, easily.

WTF is a bodega? Is it like a gaze-bo?

It's a New York convenience store. You know in the movies those places with a rack of fruit outside? Like where some kid always steals an apple or a car hits the stand or some other tropes? That's a bodega.

Ugh...who the fuck does she think she is with that stupid looking hair, Tintin?

I did download the cookbook though. It will fuel my rage!

It's not specific to New York - there are bodegas in other cities too.

Yeah, in Boston they're called bodegars.
