Who says the Tamil movie industry hasn’t been hyperactive lately.

Here, take a deko at how busy our ‘favorite’ Tamil stars, directors and producers have been in recent days:

* Vettaikaran Kaavalkaran Vijay donates 108 cows to poor villagers.

What next, Vijay? Kaaka Biryani (crow-meat based rice) for the urban poor? ;)

* Ajith cooks Biryani for the Mankatha crew.

Smart fella. When his racing career flopped, he turned to acting. Now that his acting career is collapsing, Ajith sees the future in cooking. Next time our train passes through Salem Junction we’re gonna look for Ajith on the platform yelling Sudana Kapi Tea, Idli Vada Sambar.

* Tamil movie producer Udhayanidhi Stalin, son of Northern Tamil Nadu’s Crown Prince, celebrates Birthday.

How does this Udhayanidhi Kuruvi acquire films?

* Tamil film producer Dhayanidhi Azhagiri, son of Southern Tamil Nadu’s clown prince, gets married.

Thank God, the groundwork for the next generation of Azhagiris has started. ;)

* Trisha Krishnan sings in Manmadhan Ambu.

We haven’t stopped laughing crying. :(

* Prabhu Deva dancing to a new woman’s tune.

This one promises to be an engaging tune.

* Vijayakanth to be awarded doctorate by an American university.

No, we are not making this one up.

* Yesteryear doll Simran doesn’t want to play mother.

How about an auntie’s role, Simran?

* Fat auntie Sonia Aggarwal attends cooking show.

Wrong show for you, auntie.

* Rajinikanth comes down to earth from the Himalayas.

Adding to Rajinikant’s legendary prowess, the height of the Himalayas is down by a few thousand meters after Rajinikanth went for a walk on the mountains.

* T.Rajendar is quite despite being alive. No screaming at reporters.

No kidding.

All in all, a very busy time for the Tamil film industry.

Unlike the many clueless little twits on Yelp, Chowhound or other such sites where the ignorati herd gather to chew the fat, we know Indian food.

So with the growing chatter on Jackson Diner (an entrenched player on the Indian strip at 74th St in Jackson Heights, NY) setting up shop in Manhattan on University Place, we braved the November chill and decided to see for ourselves what all the noise was about by heading over to NYC.

By the way, Jackson Diner’s Manhattan location is at 72 University Place (site of the now closed Cafe Spice) and if you plan on ordering carry out or delivery the Phone No is 212-466-0820.

After an unremarkable meal at Jackson Diner NYC accompanied by songs from the old Bollywood movie Bobby playing on the restaurant’s music system, here’s our verdict – No Big Deal!

Jackson Diner NYC – Competition has Nothing to Fear

If the Manhattan outpost of Jackson Diner continues to dish out the kind of food it currently offers, other Indian restaurants in the area like Indian Taj, Surya, Baluchi’s, Karahi et al not only have no cause for worry but their managers/owners can pour themselves a large drink.

Tandoori Chicken, Alu Tikki, Pulav Rice,
Channa Masala and Alu Gobi

As is our wont, at Jackson Diner NYC we trekked across the vast prairie of Indian cuisine stopping for a nibble here, a bite there and a sip yonder.

For the most part, the food at Jackson Diner NYC falls in the average category.

Not bad at all but nothing that stands out in any fashion. Continue reading »
