Jay Eats Worldwide

UPDATED June 18, 2016 I had a conversation with a friend who asked me which food event I was going to attend this weekend? I told him that I was going to be busy most of the weekend, but I was going to the opening of Smorgasburg LA on Sunday (Father's Day). I had been to the original Smorgasburg in Brooklyn and the food was fantastic! Mario Batali called Smorgasburg "The single greatest thing I've seen gastronomically in New York City." It's now in Los Angeles! The famous Ramen Burger got it's start at Smorgasburg in Brooklyn. See some of my Smorgasburg pics from Brooklyn HERE Not being too familiar with the food vendors at Smorgasburg, my friend asked what am I looking forward to on Opening Day? Besides my friends and LA favorites : Guerrilla Tacos Lobsterdamus Mama Musubi PopdUp Ramen Burger TJ's Tacos Here's what I'm looking forward to  at  Smorg LA : ...

Welcome to New York!  I spent two weeks in New York City working, but had time off to checkout the food scene (and some of my NYC favorites too).   The day started off in Williamsburg, Brooklyn at Smorgasburg . The New York Times calls Smorgasburg ,  "The Woodstock of Eating" and Mario Batali calls it  "The single  greatest thing I've ever seen  gastronomically in New York City" So, of course it was on the list! (the season closes on November 21, 2015 for this location) Being toward the end of the season, there weren't as many vendors, but I got a great taste of what it's all about. Something not to miss, if you like food. See What Jay Eats...  The Short Rib Bone marrow, roasted red peppers, and almond from Carnal at Williamsburg Smorgasburg . So tender, I could've had another one. But more food on the way...  Cheese Curds Fried cheese, so good. ...

 One of the things I wanted to do during my trip to NYC, was to head over to Brooklyn to  Keizo Shimamoto's  Ramen Shack .  The Ramen Shack is currently at  the Brooklyn Flea Smorgasburg in Sunset Park's Industry City on Saturday and Sundays. 11 am - 6 pm I've been to flea markets and they were like someone emptied out their garage. The Brooklyn Flea Smorgasbord had more  antiques and lots of things that you  could spend hours looking through. The Ramen Shack is on the food side of the 2nd floor.  Since I didn't get a chance to try Keizo's ramen in Japan, this is the next best thing. Of course I had no idea which one to order, they all sound really good... But knowing Keizo, whatever I end up ordering, will be a great bowl of ramen or two.
