Alphabet Dining: B is for BOSNIA

As we continue our culinary journey to ascertain if NYC does indeed have cuisines from all over the world ... from A to Z!

For this Meetup: Come join us in Astoria, Queens for a taste of BOSNIA.

ABOUT DJERDAN BUREK: Serious Eats review: Pljeskavica (PLYESS-ka-vee-tsa) is a Bosnian sandwich of ground beef and lamb molded into a thin, oversized disc and cooked on a grill, then stuffed in a slightly stiff, mildly flavored bun. That method means it's compared to a burger almost every time it's mentioned in American press, even if the analogy isn't entirely apt. When you look at a pljeskavica's cross-section you can see that the meat takes on a bouncy, sausage-like texture more than one of a loosely packed burger. But enough nitpicking: the experience of eating one is much like eating a burger—that is, one of hapless, meaty joy. You can find these record-sized wheels of beef at Balkan grill joints and restaurants around the city, from Ukus to Kafana to Bosna Express, but at Astoria's Djerdan, they go the extra mile.
