"A street-window version of the viral cheese-wheel pasta stunt struggles with practicality: on a chilly day the noodles and cream sauce arrive almost room-temperature and bland, with the thin, milky sauce separating from the fettuccine and pooling at the bottom of the bowl. The theatrical preparation is eye-catching, but the execution falls short on heat and seasoning, making it an underwhelming grab-and-go option—perhaps acceptable only for someone very picky." - Tammie Teclemariam
