birthday cake bagel
From the creators of the Cronut and the Ramen Burger… Well, they are to blame for mashups or culinary hybrids the strangest are all a rising trend in New York cuisine . Here, sometimes, they are also called munchies because they are like perfect post-binge experiments or hangover cures. Therefore, it is normal that if you read this on a bland Tuesday morning you will not find them attractive, but do it again on a Saturday at three in the morning when you return from a party or on a Sunday with a half-empty fridge.
We ask only one thing from this inventive fever: that cereals with ice do not make it to brunch menus.
FRIED GUACAMOLE
After the one that got mixed up with the suggestion of adding a few peas of nothing to the guacamole, which even Obama got into the debate, as if to promote this recipe from the Mexican restaurant and bar Abajo a lot. But it's not that strange, think about it: they are guacamole croquettes . Of course, with corn flour so as not to stray too far from the gastronomic origin. At Abajo they serve it as an appetizer, and it seems perfect to combine with their cocktail of tequila, avocado, jalapeño, pineapple and cilantro. Have you got hungry?

NUTELLASAGNA
At Robicellis they started it as an experiment. Like the one you would make at home with the four things you have left in the fridge. In this case, they had: nutella, pasta sheets (those you bought for “one of these days” to make lasagna), cannoli cream and marshmallows (clouds). They got the Nutellasagna They thought it would not last long on their menu and now it has made them famous throughout the country. So much so that they have improved their presentation, and have sophisticated the name. Is now: Nutella Lasagne . Yes. It is not a joke . So it probably doesn't look like a post-hangover dirty shop but an elaborate dessert of fine pastry. Nope?
An infinite mountain of nutella and pasta
BIRTHDAY CAKE BAGEL
Here you have to put yourself in context a bit. When they say birthday cake not just any cake you can put candles on . They refer to the frozen cakes of cream or cream with multicolored shavings . Well, at Tompkins Square Bagels (where they think anything goes with a bagel), they spread a slice of that pie on a bagel. It's like an ice cream sandwich, but no. But yes. Don't let the rainbow, doughy look fool you.
FRIED CHICKEN AND WAFFLES
This is a classic filth. very southern . Accepted, well seen and loved. You'll find it at many gocho brunch places, and at places specializing in fried chicken, like Pies 'n' Thigs. The dish is just as you read it: waffles topped with pieces of fried chicken. This is how it arrives at the table and then you are free to add maple syrup or barbecue sauce. Like everything on this list, it's much, much better than you think. You like fried chicken. Do you like waffles? Why can't you like it all together?
MACARON ICE CREAM
In the ice cream subsection, a separate article should be made. But we are left with the feeling of this summer: macaron ice creams. In its modalities: the frozen macaron sandwich at Macaron Parlour, for example; and the macaron popsicle (the popsicle is made from milk and paste from different colored macarons crushed) at Lafayette. This is the most appetizing thing on the list. At least, what best enters the eye.
