Street Food: Smorgasburg

Hoping to eat my way through all the various offerings at the Brooklyn Flea’s Smorgasburg this summer, I’m off to a strong start with a Cheese & Chorizo Pupusa from Solber Pupusas. The “Red Hook Platter,” a Salvadoran dish involving two cheese pupusas with pickled slaw, jalapenos, and crema, served with chorizo and caramelized onions hits every note…crunchy, spicy, cold, hot, cheesy, salty, sweet.

Another day it was a Pork Cemita from Cemita’s, here’s a breakdown of the how the sandwich is constructed:

As you can see, it’s quite a well constructed sandwich; Speaking from experience, one is definitely enough to share. Also known as a Mexican Dagwood, the behemoth is literally layered with flavor, but the slow cooked, tender pork steals the show.
