Dosas Conquer Newyork

October 1, 2007

Thiru Kumar, who runs a roadside dosa cart at Newyork’s Washington Square South won this year’s Vendy Award for New York’s best street food at Tompkins Square Park on Saturday.

Standing at a golf cart-sized kitchen, Thiru “Dosa Man” Kumar made his signature pondicherry dosas to order, spreading dollops of batter over the griddle surface with a tool that looked like hockey puck. He stuffed and rolled the crispy dosas, deftly chopping them into perfect thirds with his spatula.

So there…how incredible is that? Dosas being Newyork’s favorite roadside food! Oh, and by the way Thiru is not Indian – he hails from Sri Lanka.

This event sounds very interesting – a five hour orgy for foodies with a $60-eat-as-much-as-you-can. But then, how much can you eat in a day? And given the variety on offer (and the best that Newyork has to offer), thats one choice we would love to be spoilt for.
