Smorgasburg Labor Day Weekend

Finally made it back to Smorgasburg in Williamsburg for the first time since the beginning of the summer. I love that the vendors keep changing and there is always something new to see there as well as the usual suspects and favorites. New to the fold, that caught my eye was Brooklyn Piggies and Honcho’s Tacos, both of which have much more inviting “tent-fronts” than a majority of the other vendors. Not that there food is bad, but presentation is just as important as having amazing food. Dough also executes this nicely. Yuji Ramen was different and inventive. And Hash Bar brings breakfast food to Smorg – Love it. Sunday Gravy is stepping it up by offering cute little Brushetta’s while Brooklyn Oyster Party shucks fresh oysters in the sun. The award for most beautifully styled storefront goes to Brooklyn Grange – thanks for bringing a little mini farmers market to Smorg (although, there used to be a farmers market there anyways, if I remember correctly from last summer).

Waffle & Wolf – Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NYC

I stopped by Waffle & Wolf recently. They do these really cool waffle sandwiches with very creative ingredients, both sweet and savory. The owners are an American guy from the south and a turkish guy from, well…Turkey. I especially loved the avocado yogurt sauce on the #12. And the housemade mascarpone on the newest special.

I had a very little taste of both of these as I am no longer eating dairy, sugar or most grains. It’s been a week and things are already changing. I’m feeling a lot better than before. Less lethargic and more lasting energy through the day. I’ll be posting later about this, once I figure out what it is I’m doing. In the meantime, here’s some pictures from Waffle & Wolf. Also, I’ll be in LA for the next several days so there should be some great LA restaurant coverage coming up, since I’ll be eating every meal out.

Smorgasburg 2012 – Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NYC

I headed down to Smorgasburg on Saturday for the first time of this season and it’s even better than last season. In addition to some of the previous vendors there is a whole new list of vendors. It’s pretty clear that the people who run Smorg are pretty selective as everything seems to be the best of the best. Up this post is food from DuMont, Danny Macaroons, Morris Kitchen, Home By The Range, Schnitz, Takumi Taco, Shorty Tang & Sons, Dough, Mighty Quinn, Tiny Eats Kitchen, Bite Sized Kitchen, Asia Dog.

There is so much at Smorgasburg and I’d love to cover it all, but there is no way I can do it all in one day, so I’ll be back again soon with my camera to discover more of what they have. Until then, I offer you these.
