Brooklyn & Atlantic definitely had one under the previous owner (when it was Conoco), I don't see why they wouldn't have kept it, but I stopped using that station after the brand switch (used to consistently be one of the cheapest in the area, and combined with savings through the Conoco app, it was a no-brainer).

Pita Pina or Essen Bench?

They both seem to have very similar menus.

I felt like E&B quality/portion size went down over COVID.

PP does indeed seem to be open though I haven’t been.

Shawarma was good
burger was good for it's price $14
Kids meal nuggets and fries. I was disappointed that it consisted of 3 chicken nuggets and a portion of fries.

I'm curious now to see how KT2 is.

I love how such a mishap can happen without the hechsher taking any responsibility, as if the marketplace wrongly mislabeled things. It's very clear that they ran a "pesach operation" with zero basic hashgacha. Does CHK not have a mashgiach at all?
Telling people that bought these products that their pesach kitchen need to be kashered?!? IANAR and I don't know if you need to kasher because garlic was used, but telling someone his oven is chometzdik (and obviously cannot be kashered because we are "machmir") is a bit extreme.
Additionally it's not as if the print of CHK on a label is a sign of yes/no hechsher. In my eyes the whole marketplace is under CHK and if it has the marketplace label it has the CHK label. So a lot more responsibility needs to be taken by the hechsher.

While I disagree with the actions, I think the line on Crownheights.info is much better than the collive headline (per the url) or @Dan's reaction.
