New York Street Food

Are you ready for some dessert?  Who cares if it’s 9 o’clock in the morning!

Kim Ima, founder of the Treats Truck, was on Good Day New York for Valentine’s Day – and we have the video.

Kim talks about her love of baking and her love of eating sandwich cookies, among other things.  Kim also mentions the store she is opening in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.

Below is the video, and after the jump are two of Kim’s recipes from The Treats Truck Baking Book.

Pondicherry Dosa from NY Dosas

Who makes the best dosa in New York City?  We have our opinion, but a bunch of rockers from different groups (who are all of Indian  descent) are on a Dosa Hunt, which we read about on Gothamist.

Readers of NYSF should know what a dosa is, but if you don’t, listen up.  A dosa is a South Indian dish made with lentil batter that is cooked into a thin wrapper.  Various fillings are put into it crepe-style, and its usually a vegetarian dish – but that doesn’t mean it still can’t take off the top layer of your tongue!

So who makes the best dosa in town?  Click through for our opinion and a trailer from the upcoming short film Dosa Hunt.

If you like to travel and eat (or to read about it), Migrationology is a pretty interesting website.

The latest installment is a video of Mark’s 12-hour street food binge in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Enjoy!

When you think of Jerusalem, street food is not the first (or even the 10th) thing that comes to mind.

But the Travel Channel recently shone a spotlight on one of the highlights of street food in Jerusalem – fried dough with cheese in the middle.   What isn’t better fried, especially cheese!

The video can’t be embedded, but you can click here to watch this tasty 2 minute video.

We recently ran across a video from Daniella on Design about food truck designs.  It included some history on street food too.  If I didn’t know better, I would think she took the New York Street Food Tour last summer, which included very similar facts about street food history.

One thing Daniella definitely did borrow was one of our pictures.  At 3:30 into the video, she uses our photo of Oleg serving customers at the Schnitzel & Things truck.  From the look of the video, there are a lot of scanned photos, so we probably weren’t the only ones she “borrowed” from.

Hey Daniella, it would have been nice if you asked, or at least gave credit, for the photo.  Next time, give credit where credit is due.  We are generally amenable to people using our photos, but please ask first.
