老金煎饼Mr Bing

身在纽约的中国北方人，一定会怀念在家乡街头随处可见的传统早餐——煎饼果子。松软的绿豆面或杂粮煎饼，配着鸡蛋、葱花、香菜、芝麻、甜面酱与辣酱，裹上透亮的薄脆，可说是管饱、营养又美味。不过，正如中餐到了美国多有改良，纽约的煎饼果子不仅价格“入乡随俗”——“老金煎饼”和“煎饼公司”最简单的传统煎饼分别售10美元和8美元一套，可选的煎饼馅也接上了大都会的地气：“老金煎饼”那里有烤鸭、烤猪肉和绍兴醉鸡备选；在“煎饼公司”，馅料则有柠檬蒜香鸡、海鲜青柠酱牧场牛肉、十三香猪肉、有机蜂蜜生姜豆腐……

When we studied Chinese in Beijing in 1998, we ate bings everyday outside our school.  There was a nice lady who made them fresh on the back of a bicycle cart. We loved bings so much, that we just had to bring it back to America.

Mr Bing's mission is to introduce America to traditional Northern Chinese street crepes ('jianbing', 煎饼).  For those already familiar with 'jianbing,' we aim to instill a vibrant sense of nostalgia for the China street culture they remember.
