Weekly Food Round-Up

Hernandez Huaraches
“The meat was too tasty: salty, crispy, juicy, and nigh-impossible to resist. So instead of self-denial I simply surrendered, and started tearing at the tortilla while experimenting with a few salsas they keep on tap. Be sure to try the surprisingly spicy, smooth guacamole and hot tomatillo, both wonderful compliments to the meat.” [The Porkchop Express]

Chicory Brooklyn
“Who could argue with a place that offers a pair of fried fish tacos for just $5, topped with sliced radishes, chopped avocado, shredded lettuce and a squeeze of lime? Or a smallish burger ($5), made with loosely packed, crumbly ground beef, cooked to a moist medium rare and topped with a ‘secret sauce’ fashioned from sweet pickle relish, minced shallot and yellow mustard that would be the hit of any backyard barbecue?” [NY Times]

After the jump: Sunset Bagels, Bar Toto, and Fette Sau

Sunset Bagels
“Run by Italians (Tony Soprano did call Italians “Jews with better food” once), and comparable to the 24 hour bagelry on 5th between Carroll and President, they feature every spread and topping your heart (and stomach) could desire; offering a wide array of bagel sandwiches. We loved the Lukey Dukey: chicken cutlet, avocado and tomato on an everything bagel.” [Sunset Parker]

Bar Toto
“It may seem like sacrilege to some, but the best panino in the world could actually be a hamburger. It’s a simple idea really — take a cooked patty, put it with cheese in between two pieces of Italian bread, and throw it in a press.” [Gothamist]

Fette Sau
“This new restaurant by the owners of Spuyten Duyvil, a bar across the street, is to open in the fall, with a barbecue menu. 354 Metropolitan Avenue (Havemeyer Street) Williamsburg, Brooklyn; no phone yet.” [NY Times]
