Lamburger! Eaten at Xi’an Famous Foods, 88 East Broadway, New York.

Their website reads: “Forget what you think you know about Chinese food, and join the experience at one of our locations soon!” Everything at this hole-in-the-wall joint was amazingly spicy and curative. You get to watch the noodles being hand-rolled, torn and cooked before your eyes!

But the lamburger … soft, floury, english-muffin-like roll and tons of cumin-y, numbing spicy lamb. Bliss. Cumin is officially the spice of the 21st century.
