There are so many fabulous entries for this weeks contest.. Amanda & Merill, you guys should consider coming out with another cookbook on just this theme 'the best street foods of the world'.. it would be a best seller!

I sure am hoping that someone posts a receipe for "michigan hotdog sauce" as what they serve on "les michigans" at Lafleurs in Montreal ( steamed hot dogs with a meaty sauce )

Very similar to a Coney Island hotdog sauce.

Whatever it is that is peeking from the brown paper in the photo looks so very good. Would you be willing to let us know what exactly it is? Thank you :).

Trade secret -- very hush hush. Actually, to be honest, it's just a nice ciabatta roll! We're expecting much more exciting submissions from all of you.

savory or sweet or either?
 
Kristen M. June 6, 2011
Either!

This sounds like fun. Is the object of the contest to copy our favorite vendor or to invent a recipe that we would love to sell from our "own" cart. In other words are we being copycats or inventing a new great original recipe street food?

thank you dymnyno for bringing this up, I'd love to hear Food52's response & opinions..
I'd like to think that this theme is a tribute to the street foods that we have already been exposed to.. Since street food invariably has a story behind it (where, how & what season etc..) it would be nice to read about it in the headnotes. kinda gives it the 'authenic' stamp.

Hi all -- the idea is to give us your best street food recipe and that can be inspired by one you've loved in the past or dreamt up today! Either way, it should remind us of something we would stop, drop, and eat for.

I suggested this a long time ago. And now I'm just flipping out happy! Can't wait to see what comes out of this. It will be big fun.

Ooooh! I think this might be the most excited I've been for a contest yet! I can't wait to see everyone's submissions.

As undignified as it sounds I'm one kneel short of throwing my hands up & screaming my thanks!!
