    I just left the John Dory Oyster Bar.

    I'd go there before the Breslin except for Brunch.

    Seconded on Duck's. My buddy (probably the only black guy working there) hooked it up last week. The bone marrow/oysters were ridiculous, same with the goat neck. Have to go back in for the crawfish.

    I'm gonna try this cuz why not

    Sushi Burrito? Sushi Burrito.

    [​IMG](Ethan Covey)


    Take a seat, ramen burger and phuck off, phumplings, because the Sushi Burrito is the newest Asian-fusion-mashup monstrosity to launch into our mouth holes. Chef Chris Jaeckle, who's doing highbrow Venetian in Union Square, debuts this new creation at his quick service Japanese spot Uma Temakeria, which has already devoted itself to the art of the hand roll. But this being a world of Crozels and Baissants, Jaeckle and the team are bumping up the rice component and slapping on a Mexican theme, creating a Chipotle-esque gut bomb filled with raw fish instead of seasoned meats.

    The classic version of the Sushi Burrito ($10) boasts both raw salmon and tuna, plus julienned carrots and cucumbers and a slick of spicy tobanjan mayo. Sushi rice gets a sprinkle of sesame seeds and "tempura crunchies" and the whole shebang gets wrapped up in a sheet of nori instead of a tortilla. As Uma Temakeria's menu already allows for customizations, the same will be true here, with additions like Marinated Tofu, Wasabi Ginger Sauce and Daikon.

    In a world of food mashups, this isn't reinventing the wheel too much—where's the miso sour cream or cilantro rice or the yellowtail with jalapeno? At the end of the day, it's really an oversized sushi roll that perhaps has got a slight caloric edge over its compatriots. To find out what the Sushi Burrito can do for you, head to the Chelsea shop or new outdoor food market Penn Plates on International Sushi Day, June 18th, and beyond to find out.

    Midtown is awful. So many options to be had a short cheap cab away in some of the downtown neighborhoods. Try Market Table, it's a solid go-to for me.

    I dunno, with $150 you could have a really debaucherous meal at Shake Shack. I'd think about it.

    Celebrate Freedom With A Lobster Corn Dog

    BY NELL CASEY IN FOOD ON JUN 29, 2015 4:45 PM

    [​IMG]
    (courtesy Greenpoint Fish & Lobster Co.)


    Finally, someone has brought lobster back down where it belongs, by coating it in batter and deep frying it. Meet the Lobster Corn Dog, a dish that smacks of state fairs but can actually be procured in Brooklyn (where else?) at Greenpoint Fish & Lobster Co. And some people think a buttered lobster roll is disgusting!

    The team starts with half a tail of Maine lobster, which they skewer with a stick and then dredge in a thick corn dog batter. The cloaked lobster meat then gets deep fried to golden brown deliciousness, sprinkled with Old Bay seasoning and dressed with lemon-tarragon aioli. At least it's not covered in caviar? On the side, wedge cut fries and coleslaw.

    The hybrid restaurant and seafood shop will debut this fried delight at noon on July 4th for $15. Let freedom ring.
