Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

The close-up is all pasta: big tubes of rigatoni in red sauce with a braised meat, served on a platter-sized plate. The other frames show the bar and the couple.

Roger added food coma to the hashtags, and the portion explains why: the plate looks built for more than one person.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • Rigatoni with a meaty ragù
  • Family-style portions
  • A Times Square classic

Bottom line

Archive verdict

A huge, old-school Times Square pasta dinner that ended the only way it could — in a food coma.
