Who knew a crisp twenty could stretch this far? In this video, Justin (aka Hungry Artist NY) sees just how far $20 can go on this ultimate food tour through Flushing, NY on the first episode of In This Economy. Where should we go next?

00:00Thing is absolutely massive. This is how you get four dishes for $20 in flushing. Yes, in this
00:05economy. Our first stop of the day was at Lao Tzu at Ever Prosper Food Court, and we got this
00:10massive scallion pancake for only $6. All right, let's give it a try. So instantly when you bite
00:16into it, you get a light crisp, you get that little saltiness, but the pepper and the scallion
00:20really brings it home. We got out of the heat. We're in air conditioning here at New World Mall,
00:24and we're hitting up Joe's Steam Rice Roll. These steam rice rolls are legendary. This is only $5.
00:29You can either get pork or beef. I opt for pork. Chili sauce, sweet soy sauce, peanut sauce,
00:33and hot chili oil on top. The texture on this is just so awesome. Let's check out our next spot.
00:38For our third spot, we're at Gao Shaoppa for their Lo Cha Mua. $6 for this amazing meal right here.
00:43A lot of people call this a Chinese hamburger, but typically a flatbread stuffed with some type
00:46of protein in it. So here he's using chicken thigh, slow roasting it on a spit. There's tons of spices
00:51in here. I get mine spicy. It has a deep umami savory flavor, a nice little kick that you get
00:56at the end.
00:57I'm just always amazed at how filling this is for just $6. This thing is absolutely loaded.
01:01We do have a couple bucks left, so let's go to our final spot. Our final spot is Baguette Talk.
01:06It's
01:06a bakery. There's plenty of options there that are just a couple bucks, but it's so hot today,
01:10we had to go with the soft serve. This was only $1.95. We got the matcha ice cream. You
01:15can also
01:15choose vanilla. Oh, wow. It's actually more light than let's say soft serve you would get at Mr. Softy.
01:20It's extremely refreshing. This is worth every single dollar. I'm so full. I can't believe how much food we
01:25were able to get for $20. Let us know where to go next.
