It’s that time of year when finding cutting edge eats means turning your back on the hoi-polloi and shaking hands with the common man. Forget your foams and chuck your sous vide, it’s all about the stick.
The pioneers of fry-technology and stuffing-science are in high demand as we ponder what’s in store for 2007. How do they get that hotdish to stay on the stick? Is there anyone mad enough to attempt to engineer a Sloppy Joe for Stick Gastronomy? Hell yeah. Last year’s innovators succeeded and seem willing to push the envelope one more time in a that risky courtship of fanny-packers and the stroller mafia.
