FRIDAY’S (VIDEO) RECIPE: MOMO’S FROM TIBET/NEPAL

Momos are a traditional dumpling dish from Tibet and Nepal.  I had tasty momos in Amsterdam a couple of years ago at Tibet Restaurant, on the edge of the red-light district.  A little closer to home, you can get excellent momos in New York at the Tibetan Kitchen (444 Third Ave, between 30th & 31st St).  I'm sure there...

TODAY’S LUNCH: CHILI & ONION UTTAPAM FROM SAMI DOSA

I met my brother for lunch today.  He works in the building right across Broadway from the Late Show - and right where the Sami Dosa cart is situated (between 53rd & 54th St).  I told him about my lunch from Sami Dosa a few days ago and he wanted to try it too.  I also wanted to check...

TODAY’S LUNCH: MERGUEZ TACOS FROM BISTRO TRUCK

I'm certainly glad for Twitter, because otherwise I would not have found out about Bistro Truck's new menu item - merguez sausage tacos.  I don't work anywhere near 5th Ave and 16th St, but it's usually worth a trip downtown for Yassir's food. The truck was a lot busier than last time I was there - that's what a Vendy...

MOBILE MUNCHIES FOR THURS, SEPT 16TH

t's a perfect day for enjoying some great New York Street Food from the vendors on the right and the trucks below.  Not too hot, not too cold. (Jeez, I sound like Goldilocks.) As always, make sure to check the pink Mobile Munchies twitter feed on our homepage before heading out, in case anyone had to move at the last...

FOOD TRUCK WARS IN L.A. REACH NEW HEIGHTS

Food truck wars have taken on a whole new meaning in L.A., where even the building security guards are getting into the act. In New York, building security may call the cops to get food trucks to move, and might even say they are a terrorist threat, but in L.A., security guards are assaulting food truck fans and plugging parking...

FOOD TRUCKS CAN BE AN INTEGRAL PART OF A RESTAURANT GROUP TOO

Mike N Willies
There's a long list of food truckers who opened brick-and-mortar establishments - just think Dessert Truck, The Taco Truck, Kogi BBQ, Calexico Carne Asada, Van Leeuwen Ice Cream Artisans and a number of others. What you hear about less, but seems gaining in popularity, is established restaurants extending their brands with food trucks.  While a food truck probably won't make...

TODAY’S LUNCH: SMOKED TURKEY, MUSHROOM & SWISS CREPE FROM CREPERIE

I had to be in the Village around lunchtime today, so I dropped into Creperie at 112 MacDougal St, between Bleecker & West 3rd St. Creperie is basically a storefront with a few stools, and they are in our Honorary Street Food category. I've had yummy desserts from Creperie, but haven't tried a savory crepe yet.  They have an extensive...
