New York Awesome #4: Foods of Our Time.

(Clockwise: Sauce, Fried Okra, Country Fried Steak, and Collard Greens)

Country Friend Steak Makes Me Swoon. There. I said it.

I was saying to a friend the other day that I could really go for some fried okra. The other recent craving came after seeing an episode of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations in which he had some delicious looking Country Fried Steak in West Texas. Since coming to New York from the South, I'd only had it once or twice.

As divine providence would have it, we came across a great restaurant called Lobo in our neighborhood, Park Slope which served both. It is said that if you bring together three food things together it equals good times. Not only was there gravy and steak, but the meat was fried?

Now before you judge please note that the meal was entirely vegan. Just kidding, it was fried and glorious.
