It's a toss-up between anything fried from one of Hong Kong's dai pai dongs or a real Brussels style gaufre. Or how about a dumpling wrapped in a waffle on a stick covered in Nutella?

Isn't that a wurstmacher? I think charcuterie refers to all preserved meats (yes sausages, but also smoked or cured meats and pates.) Anyone know the French or Italian equivalent?

Either that's a kid holding that bagel, or that's one HUGE bagel. Someone ask Robyn Lee where she got that bagel from.

Are you sure her falafel is made with chick peas? I kind of thought it was made with fava beans when I tried it, but I was already outside the restaurant so I didn't get a chance to ask. Whatever the ingredients, her falafel is great.
Ankimo, Inaniwa Udon, and a Surprising Salad at Katsuno in Forest Hills
Yes, this place is great - and not just by Forest Hills' typically low standards. Glad they're finally getting the publicity they deserve.

Should I griddle, steam or char broil?
Will ketchup enhance or just spoil?
Does it need salt and spice?
Would some lettuce be nice?
Silly me, it's Black Label - why toil?

@xwafflesx-I do the same thing.

It's interesting that Ed's article lists Breugger's as part of the reason bagels have gotten bigger over the years - theirs are only about 4 oz., not the 6 or 7 that seems to be the norm nowadays!
@edritch - Try Bruegger's, there are some in DC. And they are definitely better than a lot of the ones you'll get in NYC even. (H&H on 46th weren't any better than the ones at our grocery chain upstate, Price Chopper, IMHO.)

Just make your own. I use the recipe from the Bread Bakers Apprentice. They're big, dense, chewy, and delicious! Also much cheaper than buying them.

Not to knock composite lamb on spit, which has it's time and place in the pantheon of delicious street foods, but in Greece, that rotating log of lamb is made from real slices of shaved, juicy, tasty meat. No ground stuff there. Best gyro in my life.

Start off with chocolate dumplings from the rickshaw truck followed by paneer tikka kati roti slathered with some raita-chili sauce from the indian cart. then cooled down with a pavlova from the dessert truck!

Pani puri, definitely. When I was a kid, my parents forbid me from eating Indian street food... which just made it taste even better when an older cousin would take me!

My favorite streetfood is the one being served within smelling distance.
Whether it's kanom krok in Bangkok, merguez in Fez, bhang lassi in Varanasi, or arepas under the el tracks. I love it all. It's the most accessible way to understand a culture's belly.
