New York Street Food

If you want a burger made with ingredients from high-quality, local NYC purveyors, Frites ‘N’ Meats is the place to go.  Their meat comes from DeBragga, the bread comes from Balthazar Bakery and the cheese comes from Murray’s.  Can’t get much better (or local) than that!

If you haven’t been to F’N'M before, when you order, they have a card where you check off the type of beef (Angus or Wagyu), bun (brioche, potato/onion or sesame seed), cheese (cheddar, blue, brie, goat or gruyere), free toppings (ketchup, mustard, pickles, raw onion, etc) and extra toppings (bacon, garlic guacamole, onion jam, etc).

Of course they have Belgian frites (with half a dozen dipping sauces to choose from), and they often have soup in the cold weather and homemade desserts.

Frites ‘N’ Meats has a Burger of the Week that I haven’t tried yet – The Texan.

The Texan burger is an outgrowth of their work with Maker’s Mark bourbon.  Even though the most famous bourbons come from Kentucky (Maker’s Mark, Jim Beam) and Tennessee (Jack Daniels), they named this burger The Texan.  Go figure.

Whether it’s from Texas, Tennessee, Kentucky or New York, I still wanted to try this burger.  Today’s Lunch is The Texan from Frites ‘N’ Meats ($9.50).

I had a chance to stop by the Frites ‘N’ Meats truck over the weekend, which was my first visit since their accident back in April.  Two of the three brothers were at the truck, and I decided to get what I often get at Frites ‘N’ Meats – the Burger of the Week.

The Burger of the Week last week was The Ploughman ($8.50), but I’m sure you’ll be seeing it again on their rotating list of Burgers of the Week.  I also got an order of frites ($3) with a couple of dipping sauces.
