These crispy, long fries could be easily eaten as you walk around the market. “Home Frite” allows you to pick one dipping sauce out of many to accompany your French Fries. These hot, fresh fries attract a long line that quickly wraps around the barricade beside this vendor.
The Mexican sandwiches from Cemita’s give you a taste of Mexican culture. This visually appealing food tastes even better than it looks. The layers of meat, cheese, lettuce, pickled onions, avocado, and special sauce is perfect to split with another person. Senior, Jordyn Berger, was amazed by the amount of vendors at Smorgasburg. “There isn’t a type of food or food group that isn’t present here. Everyone will find something they like here.” This is the beauty of the Brooklyn food market.
This burger could be the very reason many people travel to Smorgasburg. The “Ramen Burger” is a beef burger held together by its unique “bun” made of two bunches of Ramen noodles filled with greens, a special sauce, and cheese if you wish; this burger will leave you wanting more. Before you know it, this small burger will be gone in seconds.
The brisket sandwich from vendor Mighty Quinn’s was freshman Jessie Garten’s favorite, “The crunch of the pickles and vegetables on top was my favorite part of biting into this sandwich.” The slider style gives you the perfect flavor profile as well as room in your stomach to eat another. The brisket is cut right in front of your eyes and slightly charred on the edges to generate maximum flavor.
This assortment of flavored donuts is definitely one vendor to visit. Dun-Well Doughnuts had freshly made donuts ranging from sugar, dulce de leche, to pecan flavored.
This chocolate flavored donut with gram cracker crumbs on top is one of the most popular. “I would go back again just to eat another one of these donuts,” said freshman Jessie Garten.
This looks so good! What a delicious piece Gabby!
