We all love them. Those great dishes you can only get at a street-side stand or a food truck. Living in a small town, we're rarely around these portable traveling vehicles of culinary delight, but we can make a few classic street food dishes on our own. They'll taste like we fussed for hours, but will be simple to reproduce at home. Appetizers and sides hail from Mexico, Germany, and even Vietnam, but the real star here is from the Middle East. After dinner, we travel back to Europe for dessert.
Bahn Mi Sandwich - the world-famous sandwich of Vietnam. Spiced Beef, pickled veggies, and more combine to make a unique flavor profile that you'll just HAVE to have again.
Currywurst - don't knock it till you've tried it. One awesome grilled bratwurst covered in a curried ketchup. Germany's star player on the street food stage.
NYC Halal Cart-Style Chicken - In Manhattan there's one amazing smell that dominates the breezes from lunch through the evening. It's this dish at the many Halal carts. We'll recreate it for you. You can thank us later. Marinated chicken, yellow rice, plenty of spice (but no heat) and a to-die-for sweet-sour-tangy sauce that you'll crave until you get your next fix.
Esquites - street corn in a cone, just like it's served in Mexico. Char-grilled corn, cotija cheese and a lime-y dressing. Fabuloso!
Trdelnik - oh my. We probably shouldn't make these delicious Slovakian treats because you'll be hooked. Pastry wrapped around a stick of sorts, then baked and rolled in a nutty, sugary mix. Sometimes filled with whipped cream, ice cream, or other delights. Even plain, you'll find them irresistible.
