When we mentioned Kogi BBQ, LA's breakout food truck, yesterday, a reader pointed out that the Korean BBQ-inspired Mexican food will be available for one hour today! The Kogi BBQ team, in town for a Citymeals-on-Wheels benefit, explains on its website, "It’LL be the Dessert Truck parked out on Lexington and 55th, but once those doors fLip open, it shaLL be the KoGi crew on the inside. We’LL be there from noon-1PM and then POOF! we’re outta there... NYC, let’s kick it à la ride-or-die styLe." And on its Twitter feed, it's the more intriguing: "NYC, WE ARE COMING FOR YOUSE" According to Midtown Lunch, there will be 200 Kogi-Dessert Truck sampling plates available for $4/plate—dare we predict a foodie mob? For a little more on the Kogi madness, check out this gallery from LAist.





WHY AM I NOT WORKING IN MIDTOWN?
If you were you'd probably get fired for taking a three hour lunch to wait for this nonsense.
Might have to take an early lunch today...not looking forward to the line though.
Korean- or Asian-infused mexican food in New York is a rather old concept. Just walk around your neighborhood and look for any Mexican restaurant with Asians behind the counter, or better yet, head to Fresh Taco in Sunnyside.
Plus, I've heard that the Los Angelinos who wait the 2+ hours in line for Kogi were rather underwhelmed.
They ran out around 8 to 1, as I was on line =\
Just started moving real quick and we were like, ah fuck.
BTW -- they said they'd be coming in the summer...
