NYC Eats is going to have to venture into Lockhart Steele's 'hood to visit Pushcart NYC ( corner of Ludlow and Stanton Sts, 11 p.m. until 5:30 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays) for a kim chi hot dog. The NY Daily Sun recently paid a visit to Pushcart:
. . . Whether or not that’s an accurate description, kim chi is a surprisingly perfect hot dog topping: The combination of juicy grilled frank and cool, crisp, fiery cabbage is a sublime exercise in contrasting flavors and textures, especially if you add a sprinkling of nutty, crackly salted fish. (Regular hot dogs are $1.50; Korean condiments bring the price up to $2.)
. . . Perhaps less American but still equally tasty is Mr. Talbot’s rendition of bulgogi — grilled, marinated, thinsliced beef wrapped in a romaine lettuce leaf with sushi rice and all his Korean condiments. (One hefty roll is $4, which includes a free cup of apple cider or homemade lemonade.) And let’s not forget the Carolina-style barbecued chicken, available in either wing or sandwich form, whose sweetand-sourness masks a spicy heat that builds in the back of your throat.[Via Gawker.com]
