The New Breed of NYC Hot Dogs: Are They Really Better?
I didn't like the Fatty Crab dog at all. As Ed states, it had no snap whatsoever and the flavor profile was so scattered it didn't really come together to provide any real deliciousness.
Served: Street Food, Chocolate Cake, and Home
You can't keep talking about all these delicious dishes and not tell us where we can get them too! Especially when you're dropping superlatives like chocolate that "makes all other chocolate feel bad." This is information I need to know.
Another Burger Ruined by Brioche from The Smith
Good review Nick. I agree with the oversauced nature of the burger. I haven't had it in about 2 years but I remember too much sauce and too much salt. Do you have a favorite burger in the East Village? I've been on the quest but haven't found anything too worthy. Have you tried Redhead?
@Dustin,
You're spot on with the "well done" order. I did that and the fries came nice and crispy but even a little too crispy for me, to the point where there was no actual potato inside anymore.
Apparently the word on The Smith is that it's best for brunch. I've heard this from several people. I imagine it's very crowded but I'm told turnover is quick.

Last bite on earth: Tough to say...let's stretch the limits: Bite from an old-school Donovan's Burger, bite from a Houston's cheeseburger, handful of fries from Houstons, a bite from the Houston's brownies sundae, and a bite of Banana Pudding from Sugar Sweet Sunshine

Zaragoza in the East Village or Tehuitzingo or Tulcingo Del Valle (both in Hell's Kitchen) may have this cheese as well. You should give them a call though before heading over. All places also sell some of Manhattan's most authentic tacos and Tulcingo Del Valle also has a restaurant attached which serves entrees with delicious moles and other sauces. You may also want to try the al pastor cemita at Tulcingo Del Valle, it's loaded with pork, pineapple and Oaxacan cheese and it's delicious.
