Inspired by Linden Blvd., the street chef Jon Harris regularly traversed growing up in Brooklyn, Linden’s menu is a mashup of cuisines readily found in East Flatbush (mainly Jewish and Caribbean fare) as well as hat tips to his culinary past (the Rhode Island-style calamari, for example, nods to his time working in Providence).
