Boulud Truck to Serve DBGB Burger: Got some more info this morning about the one day only Daniel Boulud/NBC Food Truck hitting the streets of NYC on Feburary 8th. It will be parked on 49th and 5th, and DB will be serving up "Frenchie burgers". I don't know exactly what that means, but how can it be bad? Prediction: pandemonium. UPDATE: Wined and Dined let's us know in the comments that the "frenchie" is DB's pork belly topped burger from DBGB. Oh my.

Comment of the Day: Lunch'er "vdubjb" on yesterdays Kushi Q post: "They should put a Wok and Roll in there and create Wok and Roll Kushi Q..." Funny, but I don't joke about cheap food court Chinese food. Much prefer to see a Panda Express over Wok and Roll.

I Want to Go To There: Over on the newly launched Midtown Lunch: Philly, Jamie just posted about some Turkish spot that serves manti. A totally different dish than East Asian manty (like the ones I had at Gan Eden two weeks ago), Turkish manti are tiny and served topped with yogurt sauce. Anybody know where we can get this in Midtown for under $10? Looks amazing...
