Adobo chicken just means marinated chicken. Just hastily slapped on names with no rhyme or reason. Glad I just stayed in and skipped it, LOL
galvatran
It's Adobo chicken (Filipino dish), not Adobe (computer software company).
Cheetor Cauliflower makes no sense. Boo.
Music
These are the lamest attempts at creating Transformers themed food items. "Arcee Adobo Chicken". What does that even mean? Boo!

The mural itself was cool. One little nitpick though which I guess would really only matter to us New Yorkers…dragon 76 used the current 1 World Trade tower. It should really be the World Trade Center twin towers.
all in all it was great however.

I hope someone sells one those prints online I really want one lol
Mobb One

Yeah, I live in Brooklyn, but between these pics and Benson Yee’s, glad I was working and didn’t drag my wife and toddler to Bushwick for one wall art and two mediocre-looking food trucks.
… they may get dragged to the statues though.
