Black Seed Bagels is back with its latest chef collaboration, this time in partnership with local Chinese restaurant Kings Co Imperial. It’s made with kung pao lox and Sichuan tiger salad cream cheese on a wok-fired salt bagel. The lox uses kung pao seasoning from Kings Co Imperial, and the Sichuan tiger salad is cilantro and long peppers tossed with rice wine vinegar and served on top of peppercorn-flavored cream cheese from Black Seed.

The new sandwich is available at Black Seed’s four locations in New York City and Brooklyn. It also will be available at the bagel shop’s new Rockefeller Center location when it debuts later this month.

Availability: Through July

Price: $11.25

Indo is a St. Louis restaurant by chef and owner Nick Bognar, a 2019 James Beard semifinalist for Rising Star Chef of the Year, that debuted in June. The new Southeast Asian-inspired concept joins local spots Nippon Tei and Ramen Tei as the flagship of the restaurants operated by Bognar and his restaurateur parents. A menu item available on the lunch and dinner menus is the Tom Yam Pork Skins — fried pork skins seasoned with a powder made with the flavors of Thai tom yam soup, such as lemon grass, galangal and kaffir lime leaf. It’s served with chive aïoli.
