Street Meat Sweep!

Today I was making my usual Union Square greenmarket rounds when I spotted a horde of people buzzing by a shiny, shiny truck across from the Gandhi statue and before I knew it, I was standing in front of the "Game of Thrones" truck serving food in promotion of the new HBO show. It was cold, but I wasn't going to pass up Tom Colicchio branded street meat for free! I held my ground and I was rewarded with a bamboo boat of roasted rabbit garnished with preserved lemon and stewed pistachio with one of Colicchio's signature lemon cakes. The tiny rabbit leg was tender and a bit gamey; but brightened with the lemon and a sprig of rosemary and the braised pistachios added a satisfying crunch. The lemon cake was tart and complemented the gaminess of the rabbit.

"A Taste of Westeros" is supposed to be roaming Manhattan with a rotating menu throughout the week. Looks meaty!
