Cronuts: the latest trend in the Big Apple
Why are they dirty? Because a priori they are experiments that would only occur to you on the day of the biggest hangover of your life or when you get home after a long and charged night in which you will end up with what is in the fridge. Because the first thing you will say when you read these mixes will be “How dirty” and at the same time it will kill your curiosity. If there are people who wait up to two hours to eat it… And we promise you that none of them look like the dishes that Martha Stewart eats or those that are put together in the disgusting and funny account of Cooking for Bae .
**RAMEN BURGER (RAMEN BURGER) **
The latest hype in New York. Since it debuted in August at Williamsburg's Smorgasburg Flea Market, curious and hungry people have been waiting (we hope) anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours to sample the invention of obsessive ramen lover Kaizo Shimamoto. This former programmer left his job and dedicated himself exclusively to testing recipes with Japanese noodles until he came up with this ramen burger, a mix of Yankee and Japanese food. And it is exactly what its name indicates: hamburger + ramen. A juicy meat whose bread is made from cooked and grilled ramen that remains soft , not crispy, accompanied by spring onion, arugula (“the American touch”, says the chef) and a special soy-based sauce that its creator does not reveal. Shimamoto still doesn't have a restaurant and you can only try his 'monster' in Smorgasburg (beginning November 30 at North 5th Street and Wythe Avenue) or specific events.
Why would you want to try it? Do we like ramen? Of course . Do we like hamburgers? Of course. Well that. It can't be bad. And it isn't. You need a lot of napkins, it's weird, but it's a unique experience.
Ramen Burger: anything is possible
MAC ATTACK BURGER
The answer to the hipster ramen burger came from a restaurant in Chicago, the Rock it Burger Bar, the typical Yankee beer and comfort food place where they decided to combine two basic dishes of their gastronomic culture: the Macaroni & Cheese (mac & chees, macaroni and cheese) and the hamburger . The 'dirty' consists in that the bread of this black angus meat is two slices of pasta with cheese battered and fried . If the mac & cheese, that melted cheese soup in which an excessive amount of macaroni floats, already seemed like the great nasty (delicious in a hangover), wait until you see this. You have to see the photo to believe it. At first they were only going to serve it for a few weeks, but given the success they keep it on their menu.
Why would you want to try it? Don't go trendy: do you want to try the ramen burger and not this one? The good news is that its own creator also gives you the recipe, you don't even have to queue to try it. Do it yourself. If you dare.
Macaroni burgers: why not?
CRONUT
No, the cronut fever, the hybrid born from a croissant and a donut, has not yet passed. The invention of the pastry chef Dominique Ansel continues to have high hype and perhaps only the sub-zero temperatures that are already being experienced in New York will dissuade his fans from waiting more than two hours in line before dawn. One of the secrets why the cronut is still booming is because the rule of only buying two per person is still maintained , Ansel only makes a limited number of them a day in his small pastry shop that doesn't give for more and refuses to make them for other stores that, by the way, have tried to copy him and have deceived even Victoria Beckham: there is only one cronut, and is patented. In addition, each month Ansel introduces a new flavor so that it does not decay and creates more addicts. In November it was dulce de leche and in December it will be the exquisite Valrhona chocolate and champagne.
Why would you want to try it? Because you're a hopeless sweet tooth. And how cool is it to say: "I've eaten a real cronut and Victoria Beckham hasn't." Some have said “The cronut changed my life”. So, without exaggeration.
The December cronut: Valrhona and champagne.
CRONUT BURGER
It was only a matter of time before someone did. And as far as we know they dared at Devil Dawgs in Chicago with a fake cronut, of course. But a volunteer with free time tried it with the real deal, waited his two-hour line, bought his two cronuts, and went to the opening of the Umami burger (New York's latest trending burger joint, straight from the West Coast), he ordered the special, opened the cronut and transferred all the ingredients from the burger to the sweet hybrid . And Frankenfood was born!
Why would you want to try it? Reading the chronicle of this effort will suffice in this case. According to him it was worth it: “it made me feel proud, absurdly”.
BREADED AND FRIED OREO
A classic of the Yankee fairs that is at the top of the dirty places that should never have been created but that you will end up trying. You won't be able to avoid it. You already know by reading this. You're looking at your box of Oreo cookies out of the corner of your eye and thinking about frying them. Without having to go to the fair, in New York, specifically, can be found in Little Italy.
Why would you want to try it? Because you will think that they are some fritters (not at all fine) and then, boom, surprise. Then we'll see if you repeat.

BISCUITS STUFFED WITH...
It is the latest trend in New York: the revival of biscuits, which for Americans are not cookies but a bun made with yeast that is usually eaten instead of bread . Similar to British scones, more flaky, but less sweet. Well, ever since Empire Biscuit opened last October in the East Village the craze has begun. This new place recovers the southern biscuit recipe and in addition to offering them with all kinds of sweets (so far so good), they serve it with gravy, eggs, bacon, fried chicken … Weird, weird. The novelty, moreover, is that they were open 24 hours or so they tried, they did not calculate the success they would have and they had to close several times until they could function normally. It's time for #biscuitPorn. Do you still feel like it?
Why would you want to try it? Because it is the definitive proof that you are a true hipster. It's your new favorite food. Biscuit PHOTO: http://instagram.com/p/gv5nefrTaH/
