Brooklyn Flea

This week brings a great nonprofit to the table, and a new round of extraordinary foods: lamb lard, homemade kimchi, artisanal s'mores. Only at Smorgasburg, people, only at Smorgasburg.

Saturday, Oct. 29 (Smorgasburg in Williamsburg):

Brooklyn Cured - Though not new to the Flea, Scott Bridi's Brooklyn Cured will be at Smorg for the first time, where he'll be getting into the holiday spirit with pork-sage sausage stuffing with smoked ham-hock gravy, chicken-apple sausage stuffing with apple-cider gravy, and root vegetable stuffing with bourbon-brown butter gravy.

Charlito's Cocina - Charles Wekselbaum makes yes, artisanal lards, and produces a selection of unusual charcuterie like chorizo and fig salami. His infused lard flavors include white truffle, sage, rosemary, and a ridiculous lamb-fat lard too!

Mrs. Kim's Kimchi - A veteran restaurateur from NYC's Koreatown, this new kimchi vendor (Mrs. Kim, natch) serves her spicy, pickled vegetables in the classic Korean style.

Smore Bakery - It's not every day at the Flea that you can purchase something called the S'moregasm. As made by new vendor Smore Bakery, this item is made of toasted vanilla-bean mallow, clover honey and cinnamon spiked graham with semisweet chocolate ganache (the marshmallows are pictured above). Expect other mind-blowing chocolate/marshmallow treats at this booth.

The Culinary Trust - The International Association for Culinary Professionals (IACP) is a professional organization that serves the needs of culinary industry. Their annual conference—an incredible confab of everything interesting in food—will be held in NYC in the spring of 2012. In anticipation of the conference, and as a way to promote the good works of their nonprofit foundation, The Culinary Trust (TCT), IACP and TCT will be at Smorgasburg on Saturday with a cookbook raffle and other fun activities. The Culinary Trust achieves its mission through scholarships and grants for students and professionals, cookbook preservation and restoration, educational programs and grants for hunger alleviation.
