Hector Vazquez—the fast-talking, tattooed personality known as the Hood Chef—rose to YouTube fame with his Internet cooking show highlighting stoner eats (and occasional hip-hop guest stars like Fabolous and Wiz Khalifa). At this Borough Park eatery, you'll find the same gangsta-inspired munchies: Rara Kebabs with Swag Sauce (lamb with a Pakistani-style yogurt-jalapeño chutney) and the signature Tiger Sangwich [sic], featuring garlic bread, chicken cutlets, turkey bacon, roast beef, fresh mozzarella, mushroom gravy and roasted veggies. Urban artwork, like a painting of a woman with a Megatron head perched on a doughnut, decorates the 50-seat spot, along with two flatscreens playing Vazquez's vids and nightly hip-hop tunes from DJ Laser.
