New York Street Food

The NY Times had an interesting article yesterday on the great equalizer of restaurants: the health department tribunal, a little-publicized court system that metes out penalties for violations of the city sanitary code. "It has been there for years, in a nondescript government office in Lower Manhattan where more than a dozen administrative law judges escort their charges into cramped...

I saw on twitter that Chef Samir was back on the street with the Comme Ci, Comme Ça Truck.  This was one of the more promising new trucks in the middle of the summer, but misfortune has reared its ugly head a couple of times, and they have only been on the street sporadically since then. The first time I...

It's back to work after having a great time at the Korilla BBQ Launch Party last night. I think you'll like this new truck very much.  Interesting and tasty Korean tacos, sliders, burritos and chosun bowls.  They expect to be on the street next week. As far as today, there's a storm coming, but we should be ok for lunch....

I've been meaning to try the Brothers Express truck again on the SW corner of 6th Ave and 18th St.  The first time I tried Brothers Express, their tacos were an enjoyable lunch and a good value. Today seemed like a good day to try them again. Approaching the truck, the sign said their Daily Specials were bisteck guisado (beef...

It's another beautiful day to enjoy some great New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below. Souvlaki GR, the 2010 Rookie of the Year Vendy Award Winner will be serving lunch and dinner in Chelsea, as soon as they can find parking around 21st & 6th.  Chef Samir is also back on 56th &...

As reported in the NY Times: "Los Angeles County is moving to submit its flock of 9,500 food trucks and carts to the same health department rules as restaurants — including requiring them to prominently post a letter grade based on food inspections — in what may be the ultimate sign that this faddiest of food fads is going...
