Serious Eats
This Week in Eating Out

Icy, Flaky, and Good?: "Shaved ice" seems like a misnomer for coarse, gritty grains of frozen sugary dessert which Wan Yang Ling is desperately trying to find in the Bay Area.
Four Bucks A Pop: Looking for cheap food in the Mission District of San Francisco on a Thursday night? Get yourself to the Mission Street Food truck, where sandwiches are on house-made flatbread.
Endless Sandwich Possibilities: A taste of Spain in New York, specialty food shop DespaƱa features a menu of appealing sandwiches (including one with Jamon Iberico for $25).
"Hola!": Nick Solares enjoys the scent of medium rare lamb chops, perfectly seasoned, and covered in mole at Real Tenochtitlan in Chicago.
Steak, Burgers, and Fries: Ten ounces of beef (with American cheese, please!) and plenty of crispy steak fries are a tasty bargain at Primehouse, a year-old steakhouse in Manhattan.
