R/GA’s New York office is on Eighth Avenue. Senior Producer Carolyn Weiss and her sidekick DirtyPatrick have become novice food critics taking on what is arguably one of the trickiest areas in NYC to find some good grub. So far, the dynamic food duo have two videos under their belts. The above is our favorite. In this episode, Carolyn hates Village 38 (575 8th ave). DP admits it makes him ill, but not so oddly (see below) doesn’t seem to care. They’re both for Pick-A-Pita (247 West 38th St.) calling it “some of the best falafel in the neighborhood.” They move onto Guy & Gallard (245 West 38th St.) admitting that it’s expensive, but worth it.

Carolyn’s got a point about G&G. We’re fans. Interestingly, Weiss also spent some time at the Criterion Collection. We like her. We really do. She’s got a good vibe.

More of a mystery is DirtyPatrick who has his own little TV show going via YouTube. The guy has at least ten videos up there highlighting his aggressive/sarcastic personality. The one below is sort of mind boggling to us. If you want more, check out his vid titled “Coke and Beans” featuring another R/GA employee named Kim and her burping technique. In jest, she mentions that she is single. Honestly, she looks too cute and way too much fun to be running solo. Can’t you imagine taking her to like, a WWF match and having the time of your life? She’s the perfect Betty.

Anyway, who is this guy DirtyPatrick and just when does he do any actual work?

    I’m just impressed that they get to head out for lunch breaks. I would have expected the best delivery service on 8th ave.

    Pretty amatuerish for someone who works at one of the top effects houses in the city. That pita place has been a staple in the Garment center for years. Go back to Yale.
