New York Street Food

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.

But where are those locations?

The Brand New Frites 'N' Meats Truck

One of the early pioneers of the New York food truck scene is Frites ‘N’ Meats.  They have been serving delicious burgers and fries to hungry New Yorkers for lunch and dinner for nearly 2 years.

Frites ‘N’ Meats truly represents New York, with their main ingredients locally sourced – beef from DeBragga, buns from Balthazar Bakery and cheese from Murray’s.

Their fries go through the Belgian double frying process to ensure that golden color, with crispness on the outside and soft creaminess inside.

They are constantly coming up with new variations for their Burger of the Week, such as the Southwest Fusion Burger and the Oinker.  We also love their little touches, like the Dum Dum lollipops that are included free with every order.  What a great way to finish lunch!

As most of you know, Frites ‘N’ Meats had a terrible accident on the West Side Highway in mid-April, and have been off the road since then…but they are expected to be back on the NYC streets Monday, August 8th.

Although Frites ‘N’ Meats has been very busy gearing up for their return, Hiassam, one of the three brothers (with Moody and Ali) behind Frites ‘N’ Meats, agreed to grant us this exclusive interview for our next NYSF Featured Vendor Profile.
