New York Street Food

As we told you last month, Gorilla Cheese is having a baby…and it arrived over the weekend.

James told us he had to turn down a bunch of private events because he only had 1 truck in operation. Now he will be able to double up on those private events, and when there are none, you should be able to enjoy Gorilla Cheese whether you are in midtown or downtown.

It may be a short while before you see Son of Kong on the street because James has to install a new awning, but it’s wrapped and just about ready to go.

Congratulations to James Klayman and the whole Gorilla Cheese NYC family. Hope you’re not planning on breastfeeding that little monster.

Last week when we were in L.A., the Rhong-Tiam Supreme Burger Truck hit the street. Roberto B, a NYSF reader and avid foodie, agreed to check out the truck for us, and sent in this very descriptive Guest Post. Thanks Roberto.

Now that we’re back in town, we had to check it our ourself.

Heading down to the Flatiron District yesterday, there was a short-lived threat of rain around lunchtime, and it was pretty quiet at the truck. That sucked for the truck, but did give us a chance to talk to the owner and chef Andy Yang.

Andy told us a bit about the food, as well as his plans for world domination. Just kidding about the world domination, but you’ll be seeing much more in the way of Rhong-Tiam trucks and carts very soon, with a variety of menus. We’ll tell you more about that later.

Everything on the menu looked interesting, so we decided to get the first thing on the list, General Tso’s Burger for $10.

After Roberto raved about the fries, we definitely wanted to check out an order, and there are 3 types. We got the Asian Invasion Fries for $4.

We’ve been to the Comme Ci Comme Ca truck many times, and have enjoyed everything we’ve tried from Chef Samir.

One dish we have never tried is their Mogador Burger. It costs only $6, making it one of the less expensive food truck main courses around.
