New York Street Food

If you have a secret (or not so secret) desire to be berated by Gordon Ramsay in front of millions of people on TV, they are currently casting for Hell's Kitchen. We were contacted by an Associate Producer of the show to help get the word out.  If you're interested, click thru for the deets. "HELL'S KITCHEN" starring Gordon Ramsay CASTING IMMEDIATELY FOX...

We first spotted NYC Healthy Bites on 14th St near Union Square one weekend, but didn't have a chance to try them until Choice Streets.  At Choice Streets, we only had a sample taste of their food, but last week we had a chance to visit them for lunch. For a while, they were uptown by Columbia University for lunch,...

See below for UPDATE. We don't usually post on weekends, but this is special! Last year at Taste of the Parks, our friends at Kelvin Slush told us about a new cart they won a bid for with the NYC Parks Dept.  We were even more excited than usual because the park they were coming to was in our neighborhood! Today we...

Last year I was having lunch with Stan Tankursley, owner of the Eat Here Now Now Eat Here food cart that was a Vendy Award Rookie Finalist in 2011. Stan told me about an idea he had for a new food truck. Stan told me he wanted to be more mobile than a food cart, but didn't want to deal...

Ever heard of Char Kway Teow? Well, one of the more interesting food trucks in NYC is Cambodian Cuisine Torsu.  The owner, Jerry Ley, and his wife Christine, came to America 30 years ago as penniless refugees from Cambodia.  On my first visit to the truck, Christine told me that “torsu” means “don’t give up” in Cambodian, and the slogan...

Looks like the rain should hold out until after lunch, so you can enjoy great New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. As always, check the Mobile Munchies twitter feed, in case anyone had to move at the last minute.  Gorilla Cheese NYC ‏ Gorilla rockin the cheese on: 26th b/w 11 & 12........

Sometimes we're ahead of the curve, as in the case of Home By The Range. We first ran across them at the All About Downtown Festival in Jersey City last year, where NYSF was a sponsor.  Delicious grass-fed beef sandwiches with ultra-fresh ingredients and salads. We gave them a NYSF First Look last September, and they have been in our Mobile Munchies...

This is only a small indication of the hardships Guadalupe has overcome to build a thriving business that supports her and her 5 children in Brooklyn.  Click here for the...
