A commenter noticed this post on Chowhound referring to a truck that was spotted last Wednesday on 49th & Madison selling waffles and dinges.  Can anybody confirm? Has it been seen since?  OG truck or one of the newer imposters?  Please to comment…

It’s been awhile since the monstrosity known as “The Steak Truck” (on Park & 47th) has been mentioned here on the site.  I was not impressed with their burgers, but the steak is not terrible (especially considering it’s under $10 and comes with sides and a drink.)  They seem to have added a few other […]

More from the comments: “If this is Patty’s Tacos, they were in East harlem every day for about 4 months on 110th & Lex. I LOVE THEIR TACOS, and I haven’t seen them there in about 2 weeks. They have a delivery service and phone #347-216-9362 or 347-216-9358.”  Getting closer, but neither phone number works…

In the comments: “Patsy’s Taco truck was parked in front of HSBC — on 40th street and 5th ave on Thursday and Friday last week. I talked to the Taco Truck lady on Friday who told me that they wouldn’t open until 2pm. I tried to communicate the absuridty of this to no avail. So […]

According to her profile on the Village Voice blog this morning, Ruth Reichl, the editor of Gourmet Magazine, works in Times Square and loves to eat lunch at Minar (46th btw. 6+7th) and the Chicken & Rice Cart on 43rd & 6th.  “I get white rice, the curried chicken with vegetables and extra red sauce, no white […]

It was a porktastic weekend for everybody who braved the heat and hit up the Big Apple BBQ Block Party this weekend.  I stopped by for a bit on Sunday and enjoyed my personal favorite: Ed Mitchell’s whole hog […]
