Braised Pork Cheek and Cream of Wheat from Traif
I recently had the pleasure of attending the first annual Taste Williamsburg/Greenpoint street festival, which was a benefit to build the Northside Town Hall. There was food and drink from dozens of the neighborhood’s best joints, including Traif — a restaurant “celebrating pork, shellfish, and globally-inspired soul food”. Their version of street food? Braised Pork Cheek over Cream of Wheat with Prune Jus… outstanding!
The perfect weather made for a great vibe, and the wine and whiskey tastings didn’t hurt either! Williamsburg is fast becoming a foodie mecca, and this event proved it. The afternoon ended with a taste of Van Leeuwen’s Bourbon Vanilla Ice Cream, and some great live zydeco — ten bucks to the first person who can name this band, because I’d like to see them again:
