Erin Eats: NYC Food Cart Extravaganza

Poor, poor me. Having to work on the weekend. Dan is helping plan a big company event, with a "Foods of New York" theme. So he brought his ever-helpful, ever-hungry wife to help him sample the goods. We started out at the Brooklyn Flea Market to find Pizza Moto, A Mobile Brick Oven Pizzeria.

This was, excuse me, the shit. Margarita pizza with anchovies. Fresh, salty, cheesy, and not too doughy. This is what pizza should taste like. If I could I would hitch this thing to my Golf and take it with me everywhere I went.

Next stop was Ice Cream from Brooklyn's Van Leeuwen Ice Cream

Ginger (yum!) Red Currant.

Now, I may not be big on sweets, but I do love me some ice cream. The ginger beat out the currant; both ice creams were rich and creamy, but the currants were frozen solid, and gave it a freezer burn feel.

Our third stop was Bian Dang. Bian Dang is located in a Korean Food Court called Food Gallery 32 at 11 West 32nd St (bet 5th & 6th Ave). And I definitely want to go back and try the other shops.

Vegetarian Zongzi (glutinous rice, peanuts, green beans, radish, mushroom, Szechuan veggies steamed inside bamboo leaves.

Pork Dumplings. The dumplings were very good, but I wouldn't go back for the Zongzi, I found it way too bland and sticky.

After this much food, there's really only one true way to end a meal. Hamburgers. I have a strong suspicion that we will be returning to GO Burger.

GO Burger's Classic with Gruyere.

The Kobe Dog. (If I can't decide whether or not to add a rape joke, I should leave it our, right?) Gourmet frankfurter crafted from 100% American Kobe beef, smoked using authentic hardwoods combined with signature blends of spices, topped with Apple cole slaw, spicy German mustard, and pickled jalapeños. So this is what a hotdog is supposed to taste like, like meat, and not preservatives? Wow.
