Hello
Feasters! Welcome back to yet another ridiculously well thought out and
in depth report on a another local purveyor of edible creations. This
week we head to Minneapolis again, c'mon St Paul, lets step it up, for
World Street Kitchens fancy new brick and mortar in uptown. Delectable
treats brought to you by the brothers responsible for flavor crushing
over at Saffron in downtown....try the octopus. Just reading WSK's menu
makes me want to punch you right in the kisser., or maybe its WSK
punching you in the face but using flavor as fists. The creations look
outstanding but...are they. Lets find out.
Plate O’ Dips
hummus, smoky feta, spiced olive with griddled pita
I'm
more apt to call this the Plate O' holy crap did you make this fresh
and do you sell it in the store? Little wordy I know but the dips are
dope. Great chewy pita accompanied with 3 very different dips. Creamy,
savory to spicy, salty to tangy. Love them. 4 out of 5 forks
Bangkok Burrito
Korean “BBQ” Beef Short Ribs
flour tortilla stuffed with fried rice, "secret sauce", cilantro and basil
Holy
F-word. A Korean burrito!! This could be one of the best burrito
creations i have ever had. Juicy, flavor packed Korean BBQ with fried
rice stuffed in a flour tortilla with a special sauce and fresh herbs.
Food porn 101. 4.5 out of 5 forks
Charred Squash & Shiitake Mushrooms Tacos
queso fresco, pumpkin seed
Great taco for meat eaters and vegetarians
alike. Full of wonderful meatless flavor. Would go great with little
strips of steak. Don't leave it off your order and out of your face. 4
out of 5 forks
Yum Yum Bowl
“La Panza” Caramelized Lamb Belly
our signature dish, steamed rice with
soft cooked egg, peanuts, crunchies
and “secret sauce”
WSK's
version of the Korean favorite Bi Bim Bop. Wonderfully thrown together
and then shoved poetically into my yearning mouth. Special sauce makes
an appearence again...you likea da sauce. Caramelized lamb belly went
perfectly with my belly. It was like the two were seperated at birth.

Rasta Torta
spicy jerk beef with white cheddar and charred scallion sauce
What an original samich. I love unique bites especially ones as diverse as this. Flaky, chewy bread and a charred scallion sauce...what ever that is. Deliciousness at it samichy finest. 4 out of 5 forks
Sweet Onion Stuffed Falafel “Burger”
with tahini/turkish pickle sauce and
lettuce on a sumac/onion bun
I am not a falafel fan, mainly because it doesn't taste good. Considering they called it burger
I felt obligated to order it.....and man was i right. I am sure it is as
good as everything else if your into that whole lets not eat
meat/delicious food thing. I just havent met a falafel that I was glad i
ordered. Sorry. 2.5 out of 5 forks.
World Street Kitchen was a very pleasant surprise and i do plan on going back soon. And by soon I mean tomorrow. All the food was good to great. Ideas and flavors that were invented in their kitchen especially for us. I strongly recommend giving it a try. Don't forget to use the bottle of homemade hot sauce they give you.
