Eating My Way Through the Brooklyn Flea, Part III
With friends in town for Memorial Day Weekend, we headed to the Brooklyn Flea for a massive chow down.
Rampwurst (ramp and snap pea slaw on sausage) from Brooklyn Bangers. Super flavorful and juicy brat, inventive topping, soft potato bun. Exactly what summer should taste like.
Lobster roll from Red Hook Lobster Pound. Just look at those huge chunks of lobsta, justifying the $16 price tag. Here’s a fascinating piece New York Magazine did last year about the NYC lobster roll craze.
I’ve been resisting new vendor Dough all year, but finally splurged on one of their donuts (Chocolate Earl Gray). These are serious treats—they were huge!! Loved every last bite and even had to go back for the donut holes!
Tetz went for a Rick’s Picks pickle-on-a-stick…
…while I got my always reliable People’s Pops. That’s blueberry basil, but it was a tough decisions against the apricot caramel. The pops are basically just fruit frozen together, and they use local produce.
All of the food was beyond delicious, but this trip’s winner goes to: Brooklyn Bangers! That sausage was just so insanely better than any I’d ever had. Can’t wait to try some of the other creations.
