••• Anthony Bourdain has signed a deal to open his first large-scale food market in Manhattan, which will reflect his passion for international street food [….] We’re told Bourdain has teamed up with New York entrepreneur Stephen Werther on [what] could possibly be called Anthony Bourdain World Market.” Not if Cost Plus has anything to say about it. “And it will spotlight ‘cuisines from all around the world’ […] and ‘introduce Americans to Singapore-style street food.” This is locally relevant because the New York Post thinks it’ll be in 3 World Trade Center or Hudson Yards. And Eater got this in a follow-up email: “my hope that an important component of this project will be representatives of Straits hawker masters. My likes are pretty well known: dai pai dong in Hong Kong, Boqueria in Spain, hawker centers in Singapore, street tostadas in Ensenada. To the extent that I can help bring those things home to New York, along with a truly interesting collection of home grown innovators, I will be very, very pleased.”
