- My name is Prez, and I work at Thrillist.
Around these parts, I'm known as the 5 Dollar Lunch Guy.
Every episode, I'm gonna put you guys onto the very finest
New York grub for $5 or less.
They're literally gonna have to put it
on the side of the box: "Do not eat Tide Pods."
This makes no sense.
Oh, mission, thank you.
Lentil?
What do I know about lentil?
I know that my mom and my girl both make
amazing lentil soups, heavy on herbs and spices,
just how I like it.
So I've never really had to buy it before.
Ah! I'll ask the Fork Yeah guys.
So today my mission is lentil soup,
and I'm not really sure where to go.
- You should go to this Middle Eastern market,
Kalustyan's, on 28th and Lex.
They have, I think, a lentil soup for $5,
and it's only 15 minutes from here.
- You heard the man, that's the spot -- let's do it.
After a little bit of research,
this place is looking really promising.
Not only are they a South Asian
and Middle Eastern authentic kitchen,
they're also, according to Thrillist,
a full-on spice emporium.
So if anybody's going to make an amazing lentil soup,
it's probably going to be the guys that have
everything that they'll ever need at their disposal.
So shout out to Chas for putting us on to this jump.
Guys, we're heading out to Kalustyan's in Murray Hill.
It's five bucks somewhere, let's do it.
So these are the rules of "Operation 5 Buck Lunch."
It's gotta be good, 'cause nobody wants bad food for lunch.
No big chains, 'cause that's just too easy.
It's gotta be $5 or less.
And whatever I don't use today
rolls over into the next episode.
A lot of people love lentil, soup, and, in my opinion
a nice homemade lentil soup is the best way
to get through a New York winter.
You can't beat that.
Damn.
I'm making myself hungry.
Fun fact: If you didn't know,
the Murray Hill neighborhood gets its name
from Mary and Robert Murray,
who bought the land in the 18th century.
Although the hill that the land
used to sit on no longer exists --
it's been leveled out due to urbanization --
the name still lives on.
Let's go eat.
Here we are, 28th and Lexington,
and right there in all of its glory is Kalustyan's.
Let's go inside.
This place is incredible.
As soon as you walk in, you're hit with like
an incredible smell of all of these herbs and spices.
There's nuts on the wall,
there's books everywhere,
but first, let's go talk to some people.
Is this your first time here?
- Are you kidding?
I've been coming here for 20 years.
- Really?
- Yes.
It's a local spot for all the chefs
to buy their spices and all their dry goods.
It is really phenomenal.
- Hi, what's your name.
- My name is Arpierre Afarian.
I've worked [at] Kalustyan's almost 25 years here.
Yeah.
- Uh, what do you have here, what are you making?
- Crispy za'atar bread.
You can have one, you can try.
- Oh, please. Thank you -- appreciate it.
Wow, that is really good.
I'm gonna have a lentil soup.
- Great, I give you one lentil soup for you.
- OK, thank you so much.
Here we have it.
The famous Kalustyan lentil soup.
Get a look at this.
A lentil soup with extra-virgin olive oil
drizzled over the top and hot sauce --
just how I like it.
Yo, I have to say, Arpierre is absolutely amazing.
Like, I feel like when I'm talking to him,
I'm at my gran's house.
This is the best lentil soup I have ever had.
Listen, Mom.
I gotta say I love you.
You know I love you, right?
Has my life been a lie?
I've never had lentil soup with such a thick base --
it's almost like a chowder.
This entire recipe has one mission in mind,
to fill you up.
The stock is so thick.
Like, maybe three or four more bites of this,
and I'll be pretty full.
There are spices and herbs all throughout.
This is incredible, hold on.
So he said you need to tear up the pita,
and of course, as any soup, boom -- goes straight in.
Bread with soup, universal.
Do it in every single country:
Jamaica, Russia, Lebanon, New York.
(record scratch)
This is great. You know what?
Chas: I love you, man. I really do.
Wow.
I can't wait.
Now I know what this bread is for:
for getting every last drop of this thing.
This is how you clean a bowl.
All right guys, that was absolutely delicious,
but it's time to go.
Let's go pay.
How much was that for the soup?
- Total is $4.34.
- Thank you so much.
- Out of five, thank you, you enjoy that?
- Oh it was absolutely incredible.
You guys do incredible stuff in that kitchen, man.
- Good.
66 cents is your change.
- Thank you so much, and--
- Need the receipt?
- No, no I'm good.
Little rollover for next episode.
Woo!
Today's mission was lentils,
which brought us literally down the street
to this unassuming little joint, Kalustyan's,
to try their amazing lentil soup.
I gotta say, out of all the experiences that I've had
on this show, so far this has to be my favorite.
Because as soon as we walked in,
we were treated like family
and fed a soup that completely has blown
any other lentil soup that I had ever had in my life
out of the water.
Sorry Kristin, sorry Mom.
It is what it is.
I will 100% be back this weekend.
And with that being said,
today's mission was an absolute success.
It's in budget, it's not a big chain.
Say it with me: It's damn good.
Gonna head back to the office, literally five minutes away.
I'll see ya next time.
Peace.
