Heinz is introducing a new way to eat ketchup called the Dip & Squeeze.  You can peel it open to dip food in, or squeeze it on with what they say is pinpoint accuracy.  The new package also holds three times as much as the traditional 9g packet. But here's the part that got our attention: They will be sending a food...

TODAY’S LUNCH: CHEESEBURGER FROM CARNEGIE JOHN’S

I didn't have much time for lunch today - and on days like these, I often go to Carnegie John's cart.  It's on West 56th St just east of 7th Ave, and he is one of the few excellent street food vendors in the immediate area around my office.

I haven't been to Uncle Gussy's in a few months, but their tweets over the past few months have shown a new eagerness to push the envelope beyond Greek street food.  I don't know if it's because they bought a new truck, or if it was all the press that Souvlaki GR received when they launched, but Uncle Gussy's...
