New York Street Food

Maybe I didn’t get enough salt over the past few days because today for lunch I was in the mood for a classic street meat lunch of chicken and (gyro) lamb over rice.

I happened to be in the Times Square area, so I went to the La Baguette Cafe truck on the SE corner of 40th St and Broadway.  Previously, I had a kofte over rice from these guys that was decent.  Time to try something else.

Today’s Lunch is chicken and lamb over rice ($5.50) from the La Baguette Cafe truck.

It was back to meat for Today’s Lunch, but not chicken or gyro this time.  After seeing the kofta (spiced ground beef) over rice available at Little Morocco yesterday, I decided to try that dish from the La Baguette Cafe truck on the SE corner of 40th St and Broadway.

According to the guy taking my order, they have been there for the past 4 years, and the truck seemed to have a regular following, judging by the number of people coming up to the truck and the conversations people were having with the man taking the orders.  He was very friendly and seemed to know most of the people coming up to order.

If you happen to be in midtown around 40th and Broadway one evening and see a truck that looks like a Parisian cafe, how do you know if it’s worth trying?  Listen to your “Mamacita” , who filed a detailed report with Midtown Lunch.

Her conclusion: their grilled onions were much better than the usual, their hot sauce was really hot, and the chicken was tasty, but the lamb was no different than every other halal cart.  For her full report, check this link at Midtown Lunch.
