Everyone knows that the best way to find good eats is through word of mouth. And what better way to find out what to eat and where to eat than from evesdropping on strangers on the streets of New York? Overheard in New York has compiled a special collection of food-related conversations in their " Build Up An Appetite" archive. Here are some of the conversations that were overheard:

Guy: If I ever become a cannibal, now I'll know what cuts of meat to ask for.
--South Street Seaport Museum
Overheard by: Karyn Regal

Guy: I had a turkey injected with pomegranate juice once. It was very delicious.
--N train

Chick on cell: Yeah, if I'm really hungry it doesn't matter about morals anymore, I'll just dive right into bacon, anything. Totally forget about the vegan thing. So for god's sake don't ever leave me alone with bacon. Or human.
--52nd & Lexington

Girl: So I actually tried garlic knots one day when I wasn't high and I was like, "Wow, these are good...and there's really garlic on them, too!"
--Washington Square Park
