Forsyth Fire Escapes's VIRAL SCALLION PANCAKE BURRITO | A Bite That Brought NYC Together

Meet NYC's Cult Favorite: Scallion Pancake Burritos from Forsyth Fire Escape! 🍖🌯

Remember the epic lines and never-ending waitlists during the pandemic for those much-talked-about scallion pancake burritos? Forsyth Fire Escape started as a tiny popup in a bodega, and went viral, almost overnight, for good reason! These aren't your average burritos. We're talking crispy, oniony, house-made scallion pancakes wrapped around a delicious fusion of Chinese, Thai, and Dominican flavors. Co-founders Isabel Lee & Luis Fernandez invented something SPECIAL at a time when New Yorkers needed connection and community.

Created by two passionate home cooks in their home kitchen, they took a leap of faith and haven't looked back. Now with a residency in a Chelsea food hall, Forsyth Fire Escape continues to win hearts (and stomachs) with their consistent food and vibrant personalities. Their popular scallion pancake burrito features melt-in-your-mouth Dominican pernil (slow-roasted pork), creamy queso blanco, and a tangy-spicy lemongrass chili sauce, all nestled within that irresistible scallion pancake. You'll love seeing their whole process unfold during our week spent inside their kitchens.

This is more than just a viral burrito; it's a celebration of cultural fusion and culinary creativity. Something only two good friends could dream up. Watch the video for all the craft details and get ready to drool! Isabel and Luis will show you how they make scallion pancakes and so much more 💜

We hope you go!

PRO TIP: pick up some Lemongrass Chili Crisp Scallion Pancake Sauce to take home. And try one of their new menu items!
