It's hard to believe, but Netflix actually started in '97. I had already been a customer for years when this came out. Just one year later in 2007, they launched their streaming service in a limited capacity.

Stumbled across this doc by pure chance. Loved it. Went to NYC with my son a few years later and we seek out the new spot. We had Mac n cheese pancakes and a few other items. I asked about the ol man and the guys there said he was at home resting.

FYI there's a great series by Jamie McDonald called New York Originals that you can find clips of on YouTube. Was originally on PBS or something and I even ordered the DVDs directly from him. Beautifully captures New York gems and best kept secret type places similar to this that are slowly disappearing. They're a great watch and a very satisfying dopamine release of pure nostalgia.

He actually discussed margins in his book and how most of his profit is from drinks like iced tea.

Have you been to NYC? I just recently went for the first time and this feeling still exists in some places. I got this feeling from a few places in DC too.

Ah yes, a capitalist business owner well known for making his own decisions and not going with the societal standards, whom loved the power of personal ownership.
Totally a great choice for a potential socialist...

This is my all time favorite documentary for exactly this reason. It's such a specific, yet vague feeling. Like, how can I miss and long for a place that I've never been to?

I watched this film short after its release when it came to Netflix. 2005-6 maybe? Changed my life. I have taken philosophies I have learned in this documentary and used them throughout my life ever since. I think of Kenny like a big brother or a cool uncle I never met, but had the chance to learn about at least. I love Kenny very much and will always regret not being able to try his food.

I was able to make it to Shopsin's while he was still cooking. He's good friends (at the time there was a picture of them on his menu) with the owners of a restaurant I worked at up in Vermont. Kenny was incredibly sweet and talkative. The head chef I worked for was obsessed with him, and our restaurant carried a lot of his philosophies. It's was one of the best jobs I've ever had. My boss let me borrow his book - Eat Me: The Food and Philosophy of Kenny Shopsin. Highly recommend it. The guy was one of a kind.
