No. 82: Corn Fritters From Park Ave. BBQ & Grill
An order of corn fritters at any one of the eight Park Avenue BBQ and
Grill locations costs just $3.49 and nets you six fried balls of dough
along with three condiments to decorate them with. This two-to-one
condiment-to-food ratio is a recipe for fun, and the way you play with
them greatly impacts the outcome. Adding honey from a squeeze bottle
recalls both carnival food and something vaguely Asian. The combo of
powdered sugar and maple syrup suggests French toast. Cut the maple
syrup from that equation and you get something shockingly close to a
beignet or zeppola -- the dough warm, cakey, and light; the sugar
turning sticky as it clings to the pastry's greasy exterior. Recipe here.
