GOOD EATS NYC 2023 (A Blanket Thread)

BBQ SKEWER CART / GRAND & CHRYSTIE

Ding ding ding it was finally open and serving for once when I walked by! I feel like it’s always not open yet, or the coals are still heating up, or it might rain, and so on - every single time I go by, for years!

Anyway. They were actually open with heated coals and ready to serve today. I think I was their first customer of the evening because they even had a few minutes to chat and smile.

I was on my way to dinner so I didn’t order as many as I might otherwise have, but I couldn’t walk by and just not order after all that build-up, so I got 1 lamb, 1 beef, 1 enoki bacon, and 1 king oyster. I didn’t eat them all but I did sample a bit of each — lamb and beef had nice char and chew, enoki bacon was pretty much the best part of the enoki with a bit of bacon to boost the flavor, and the king oyster was as expected.

Now till the stars align for the next time.
