New York City office workers have discovered an unlikely remedy for soaring lunch prices: plain, roasted sweet potatoes eaten straight from the skin.
The practice, dubbed 'rawdogging' by social media users, has transformed a humble Asian street food into Midtown Manhattan's most talked-about desk lunch. Across Korean markets and specialty cafés throughout the city, workers are queuing for spuds that cost a fraction of the typical office meal, according to a report in the New York Post.
