TODAY’S LUNCH: SAEWOO (BBQ SHRIMP) BULGOGI FROM BAPCHA

admin — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 16:15:41 +0000

The Bulgogi & Kimchee Cart on 49th St between 6th & 7th Ave got a makeover last month. It’s now known as Bapcha, which literally means “food cart” in Korean. I’ve had their dak kalbi (short ribs), bulgogi (barbecued beef) and spicy chicken. Trying something new, Today’s Lunch is the saewoo bulgogi (barbecued shrimp) for $8.

There were 8 medium-sized shrimp over white rice, and I asked for a little hot sauce as well. The shrimp were nice and juicy and had that grilled taste. The hot sauce was not really hot, but had a tiny bit of sweetness to it that made it different from other hot sauces.

The shrimp were butterflied on top and cleaned, although not perfectly. Two of them still had a little bit of vein, but it was only a little, and was easily removed. The shrimp were very tasty, grilled just the right amount of time, and 8 were plenty, especially with the side dishes included.

In addition to the white rice, there was a cellophane noodle salad with spinach, carrots, red bell pepper, onions, black pepper, and a nice light sauce. I really enjoyed the noodle salad – much more than the plain white rice.

There was a small side salad, which was better than at most other carts. I’m not sure of the type of lettuce (arugula?), but it was definitely a cut above iceberg, with a light, unobtrusive dressing.

They even threw in a small fried dumpling for nothing.

Today’s Lunch gets an 8 out of 10. The barbecued shrimp and noodle salad were a nice change of pace from street meat. The value was ok – $8 is a little high for street food, but it was shrimp and there were plenty of them.

I will definitely be going back to Bapcha. The egg wrap on the menu looked pretty good, and so many people got the dak kalbi (short rib) while I was waiting, I nearly changed my order. After taking the picture below, I definitely have to go back soon for some barbecued meat.

VIETNAMESE STREET FOOD PRIMER

admin — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 21:01:10 +0000

Vietnamese Spring Rolls: Cha Gio

Most Americans are familiar with Chinese and Japanese food, and Thai food has gotten pretty far into the mainstream too.

Vietnamese food is still not well known in the US, although banh mi is gaining more fans every day. Whether that has to do with the Nom Nom Truck kicking butt on the Great Food Truck Race, or just the world shrinking in size because of the Internet, it’s a welcome sign.

For those not familiar with this wonderful cuisine, Vietnam Talking Points has a basic primer on Vietnamese street food, including spring rolls, steamed rice cakes and deep-fried fish patties. Click the link for more info. [Vietnam Talking Points]

TODAY’S LUNCH: GRILLED PORTOBELLO W/GRAPE VINAIGRETTE FROM NUM PANG

admin — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 16:32:18 +0000

I wasn’t sure what to do for lunch but had to be near Union Square, so I decided to stop by Num Pang Sandwich Shop, an old favorite on East 12th St, just west of University Place. It was pretty busy, with a line of about 7-8 people, but that’s what happens when word gets out about how good the food is.

To my surprise, there was a new special and it sounded pretty good. Today’s Lunch is a grilled portobello sandwich with concord grape vinaigrette ($8.40 after tax).

I’ve talked a lot about the fixings on Num Pang’s sandwiches so here’s the Cliff Notes version – shredded carrots, fresh cilantro and chili mayo on a toasted bun.

The portobello mushroom was thick and meaty, but not a lot of the grilled flavor came through. There was a lot of ’shroom on this sandwich, and the ’shroom taste came through, but not a lot of the grilled flavor. It was still good, but I expected it to taste more grilled.

Oddly enough, the same thing can be said of the concord grape vinaigrette. Some could be detected, but it was not apparent without looking for it. When I hit the bottom of the sandwich, the bun was somewhat soggy on the edges, and the taste of grape vinaigrette on the bun was more obvious than it was on the portobello mushroom.

Today’s Lunch gets an 8.5 out of 10. This was still a delicious sandwich, but it was messier than past sandwiches I’ve had at Num Pang, and the price of sandwiches there is a little on the high side. There was plenty of mushroom flavor, and if you’re a vegetarian, you could probably add half a point to my score – but I’m a carnivore at heart.

NYSF ANALYSIS: WHY DO FOOD FESTIVALS USUALLY SUCK (AND HOW CAN THIS BE PREVENTED)

admin — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 02:13:58 +0000

Parked - just the latest casualty

The road is littered with carcasses of failed food festivals – an apt metaphor for the latest casualty – Parked on Governor’s Island last Sunday. Parked is only the most recent instance from a long line of failed street food events.

Some of the events, such as the L.A. Street Food Festival, the Hell’s Kitchen Flea Market, and the NY Dumpling Festival were great for the vendors, but long lines made it suck for people attending. Others, such as the NYC Food Film Festival were great for people attending, but nearly all the trucks did poor to terrible business that day.

Why can’t someone come up with an event that pleases both attendees and food vendors – or better yet – how can they?

NYC Dumpling Festival

With the already huge and still increasing popularity of food trucks and street food, it’s pretty obvious the free model doesn’t work. In this scenario, a promoter rents space, charges vendors a fee, people get in for free, and pay as they eat. The biggest problem with this model is forecasting attendance.

For some reason, promoters have consistently underestimated the number of people they expect to attend – often by multiples of thousands. We understand promoters need to be conservative in their estimates leading up to a festival, but botching this number leads to long lines in cramped spaces, not enough vendors to serve the number of attendees, and the vendors running out of food much sooner than they should.

1st L.A Street Food Festival

You don’t need to be a mathematician to work out the ratios between the expected number of attendees, the number of trucks, and the number of people that can be served per hour.

If you figure it takes a minute to serve a person, then you can serve 60 people per hour. If you are open 5 hours and each vendor serves 60 people per hour, then each vendor can serve 300 people per day. If you expect 6,000 people, then you need at least 20 vendors. Now I’ve never served masses of people, and I’ve been told by some vendors they serve more like 75-100 people per hour at festivals – but to hit those numbers you need to be ultra-prepared and work like a well-oiled machine.

Parked had around 20 vendors, and it was estimated that close to 10,000 people attended. No wonder the lines were so long. You would have needed at least 33 vendors using our math. And the lines got even longer when certain vendors did not estimate well, and ran out of food themselves much earlier than expected.

Another model that did not work was the NYC Food Film Festival, which was similar to one described above for Parked, but the number of vendors was significantly larger than Parked, and attendence was limited by the fact that tickets were free, but you needed a ticket to get in.

People got the tickets for free months in advance, but when the festival day came and people had other things to do, they blew it off, since it didn’t cost anything. The sparse attendance was increased by several other factors too: it was close to 100 degrees that day, the USA World Cup match against Ghana, and the venue was at least 10 blocks from the nearest subway.

There were tons of vendors – probably 50 or so, but the only vendor with a line all day was The Krave, which came in from NJ and had that Korean-Mexican fusion cuisine that everyone had read about with the Kogi Truck in L.A, but most people had not yet experienced. If they charged $5-$1o per ticket, we bet many more people would have shown up.

NYC Food Film Festival

The model that seems to work best is to charge people a decent amount for tickets, then offer attendees all the food and drink they can digest – and even that is not guaranteed to succeed if your calculations are off.

The 2009 Vendy Awards charged $75 or $80 for general admission, limited attendance to around 800 people – and there were still long lines for some of the vendors as the day wore on. Big Gay Ice Cream Truck had a long line much of the day, as did the eventual winner, Country Boys Tacos. Lines for the other vendors varied, but were generally not too bad.

Another reason this worked better is because nobody had to deal with money, which speeded things up considerably. There was also plenty of space for people to roam around, and lines for the different vendors did not get mixed up – remember, never cross the streams!

2009 Vendy Awards

The 2010 Vendy Awards limited the number of tickets sold, as did Carts In the Parc, which costs $100 per ticket. While this events can get pricey for attendees, it does increase the odds of having a good time and getting to try as many food and drink items as you want. The “it’s free – pay as you go” model just doesn’t seem to work.

I’m sure we didn’t think of everything, so please put your comments below. The more we know, the more we can help future events go smoothly.

TODAY’S LUNCH: CHICKEN OVER RICE FROM SAMMY’S HALAL

admin — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 17:36:29 +0000

Sammy (in black coat) at the Queens cart

I’ve walked by Sammy’s Halal cart on the NE corner of 6th Ave and West 4th St in Greenwich Village a few times. Sammy’s Halal won the 2nd Vendy Award in 2006 for his cart on Broadway and 73rd St in Jackson Heights, Queens. Since then, Sammy has expanded with additional carts on East 4th St near Broadway in the East Village and the one I went to in the West Village. It’s tough to miss the giant picture of the Vendy Award on the side of the cart.

How has the food changed since Sammy’s won the Vendy Award in 2006? I didn’t try it back then, but I can tell you how it is now. Today’s Lunch is chicken over rice from Sammy’s Halal ($5).

Sammy’s chicken is pretty similar in style to other halal carts, but his chicken was moist, tender and had no funky stuff in it at all. It was a mix of white and dark meat, and every bite was between pretty good and excellent.

Sammy’s has 3 sauces to choose from – a white, mayo-based sauce, a red hot sauce, and a green sauce, which is the one that separates him from the rest of the halal carts. The white sauce was good, but not spectacular. The red hot sauce was very good and very spicy – my lips and tongue were tingling for a bit of time after eating.

The green sauce however was an herb-fest. It was not spicy, but was a mix of parsley, mint, cilantro, garlic and possibly some other herbs and spices too. It picked up the lunch considerably. Without the green sauce, this is just another chicken over rice dish. While you may or may not want hot sauce depending upon your taste, the green sauce should be considered mandatory.

The rice at Sammy’s was a cut above too. There were small pieces of charred onion cracklings (yum) and a bunch of spices. I was able to see whole cloves and caraway seeds in the rice, among other things. He also asked if I wanted some chick peas, which he put on the side of the rice. The chick peas added another taste and texture to this dish.

Today’s Lunch gets an 8.5 out of 10. The chicken over rice is worthy of a former Vendy Award winner. I think it’s better than the 53rd & 6th chicken over rice, which gets more press and has much longer lines. The only downside to Sammy’s is the location – none of his carts are convenient to midtown. However, if you work near, or are in the Village at night or on the weekend, Sammy’s is an excellent option. Ditto for Jackson Heights.

PARKED! MORE LIKE STALLED.

admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 01:48:04 +0000

Leaving the ferry terminal for Gov. Island

We don’t usually go to the huge food trucks events because the lines can get ridiculous. Who wants to wait on long lines for food, drinks and dessert all day, especially on a holiday weekend with sunny weather in the mid-70’s? Not us.

Because I enjoy all these great street food vendors during the week, it’s not that big a deal to get them all in one place on a Sunday – but if you can’t visit these vendors during the week, I guess this might make sense.

Which line should we get in first?

We try to show up early because the lines at these events always increase as the day progresses. We were on the 12pm ferry and got to Parked by around 12:20 – and it was already very busy. By the time we looked around to see where everyone was, the lines we already quite long, the longest being the Red Hook Lobster Pound.

Lines, lines everywhere

We went for the shortest line, the former (kosher) Green Taste Truck that was bought by the Desi Truck owners and converted into a 2nd truck serving the Desi Truck menu – 4 kinds of kathi rolls, chicken tikka masala, chicken curry, chicken biryani, and vegetarian fare like dal and vegetarian platters.

"chicken and waffle" cupcake

Even the shortest line took about 40 minutes, but while we were waiting, someone in front of us got a “chicken & waffles” cupcake from a friend who just came from Robicelli’s. They said it was pretty interesting, and would have been excellent if the chicken was hot, but it was lukewarm. It was also $4, which seemed like a lot for a piece of fried chicken on a small cupcake.

By the time we got to the Green Taste Truck window, the only kathi roll they had left was paneer masala. The guys just in front of us got the last chicken anda kathi roll (chicken and egg), so we took the last paneer kathi roll, a chicken tikka masala and a Snapple, and headed to the waterfront. I’m sure they made more later, but it was really hit and miss in terms of what they had at the time.

We found a nice spot on a small patch of grass by the bike path with a great view of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and downtown Manhattan. Even Jersey City looked nice today.

paneer masala kathi roll

The paneer masala roll was very nice, with paneer cheese, potato and red onion in paratha bread. The chicken tikka masala was decent, but not earth-shattering. I definitely prefer their kathi rolls, and was disappointed that service was so hit-and-miss.

As far as the Desi Truck, the original yellow one is at 27th & 5th during the week, and the owner said the Green Taste Truck will be at 39th & 6th full time for lunches during the week.

There really wasn’t any point in going back to Parked to wait on line for an hour for something else, so we walked around Governors Island, which was very enjoyable, and when we wanted a drink, we went over to Water Taxi Beach. The line for food there was also about 45 minutes long, but we had already eaten – and the line for the bar was only 10 minutes! Score!

We got a couple of drinks, went over to a picnic table, took our shoes off, and hung out on a beach with our feet in the sand and a gorgeous view of downtown. The only downside to Water Taxi Beach was an abundance of yellowjackets. They really liked my wife’s drink, and started to get annoying after a while, so after 2 drinks, we walked around Gov Island some more, then headed back to Parked to see meet someone from RTL Television (Holland) who recently contacted me about being their “street food expert” for an upcoming segment on the Vendy Awards.

Parked was still stalled. The lines were even longer then when we left 2 hours earlier, and there was no point in getting on another long, slow line. We met Felicia from RTL Television, talked for a while about New York Street Food, the Vendys, and other assorted topics, then headed for the ferry home.

What can we say about Parked? I’m sure it was great for the vendors, every one of which had long lines all day, but it was terrible for street food fans. All we can say is Parked was probably the best advertisement for Water Taxi Beach they could have.
