Your bikini body needs this.
Forget the bread, you’re feasting on doughnut sandwiches this summer.
Two pop-ups, Jicama California Street Food at Penn Plates and Kim Chi Smoke Barbecue at Smorgasburg Queens are delivering the greasy, sweet, salty and meaty pleasures of the season.
Jicama serves up a Sweet and Salty Pork Doughnut Slider, but don’t worry, a paper umbrella holding all the pig-soaked doughnut-goodness together isn’t going to let anything slide.
This epic pulled pork sandwiched between two maple doughnuts is actually pretty healthy — you guessed it — there’s kale on it! Roasted beets and red cabbage sauerkraut add to the vitamin content, so you’re basically on a juice cleanse with this doughnut creation.
Kim Chi Smoke’s signature Chonut — created in New Jersey, of all places– is a mash-up in itself. The magnificence of a cheese-glazed doughnut is only enhanced by a generous portion of Korean barbecue brisket, pulled pork and smoked kimchi, all dusted with a glorious layer of powdered sugar.
The #CHONUT sold out last weekend, so be sure to head out early to stuff your face with this nutritious breakfast.
These two grease-laden sandwiches are more than a social media stunt though — they’re legitimately tasty!
Our bodies crave salt, fat and sugar and combining the three in a cheffy-way is pretty much all we could ask for.
Get a salad next week or something, it all balances out.
Penn Plates (34th St. btwn. 7th and 8th Ave.) is open from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. through Nov. 15. Smorgasburg Queens (43-29 Crescent St., Long Island City) is open from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Saturdays.
