It's a time held tradition that whenever people find meat, someone will want to grind it up and serve it between two pieces of bread. And despite David Chang's warnings, Wagyu beef has undergone this transformation. Similarly, it is a recent New York tradition that any trendy food will, at some point, be served out of a truck. And thus, Frites 'n' Meats was born. Parked in TriBeCa, the truck offers two types of burgers, grass fed Angus or Wagyu "American kobe." They then combine it with your choice of bun, cheese and toppings that will customize to any tastes. Toppings and cheeses range from the basic (cheddar, raw onion, tomato, bacon) to the adventurous (goat cheese, onion jam). They also offer dessert specials, usually announced on their Twitter page, such as an apple and asian pear cake. But catch them early, as they're only around for four hours a day.Greenwich St & Chambers St, 917-292-9226
