Ask restaurateur Jeffrey Chodorow what’s his favorite item at his new FoodParc and he’s at a loss.
“Maybe the egg rolls with Katz’s pastrami,” he says. (Yes, egg rolls here are stuffed with pastrami!) “But I love the burger. Pat LaFrieda made it with hanger steak.”
This food court offers relatively cheap eats when you compare it to, say, Todd English’s food court at the Plaza. There’s a burger concession called 3Bs (which stands for bacon, burgers and beers) where burgers are less than $7. An Asian-cuisine stand called RedFarm, from chef Joe Ng and Ed Schoenfeld, serves dumplings for under $6 and duck buns for $4.95.
