"A weekend-only mash-up from Buba and Kisa turns the humble bureka into a kimchi bomb. On November 8 and 9, the shop will debut the kimchi melt bureka, a $19 collab with that layers black sesame tahini, classic kimchi, kimchi greens, half-sour pickles and a soy-marinated egg into Buba's signature, shatteringly crisp pastry. It'll be available from 9am to 3:30pm each day at Buba's Greenwich Village counter at 193 Bleecker Street."
"If you've somehow missed the bureka takeover of your social feeds, here's the synopsis: Buba Bureka is a tiny, wildly photogenic spot from chef Ben Siman-Tov, who sized up the traditionally palm-size pastry into a shareable, pizza-slice-boxed stunner. The menu is famously brief-think four fillings, a jammy egg and the trio of tahini, crushed tomato and schug for dipping-but that simplicity is partly why New Yorkers are lining up."
"Kisa, meanwhile, brings its own kind of cult enthusiasm to the table. Short for -Korea's 1980s roadside diners built to feed drivers quickly and well-the restaurant has become a LES darling, routinely crowded and consistently praised for its baekban platters. Each one comes with rice, soup and an impressive lineup of banchan: steamed egg souffle, fermented onions, gochujang-slicked squid jeotgal, soy-marinated salmon and the kind of kimchi that explains why refills now cost extra."
