Game of Thrones Food Carts Serving Up Fantasy Street Cuisine
Residents of New York and Los Angeles can eat like medieval royalty thanks to HBO.

HBO contracted a top chef to build a menu for a fleet of Game of Thrones food trucks that are hitting the streets for two weeks to give fans a taste of the show's world.
I wasn't kidding about the top chef thing. Tom Colicchio of cooking competition show Top Chef [http://www.amazon.com/Top-Chef-D-C-Complete-Season/dp/B004AUP3GW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1301158513&sr=8-4] says he created dishes that fit with the series' 5 different regions. For example, The Wall region is extremely cold, but bordered by the sea, so Colicchio created a Blackfish Stew. The Riverlands is more like your average fantasy forest, so Colicchio put together a Squab and Sweet Corn Fritter duo.
Colicchio said that if he could, he'd have served a spit-roasted whole goat, but that was too challenging to serve out of a food cart. Other dishes include rabbit, headcheese, and lemon cakes, which you can make at home with the recipe found here [http://www.makinggameofthrones.com/storage/got-lemon-cakes-recipe.pdf].
The best part is that the Game of Thrones food carts will be giving away their treats for free. From March 28-April 1, the carts will be in New York City. From April 4-8, they'll be in Los Angeles. Servings are limited to the first 300 guests, so start camping out now.
