Jeremy Lin fever reaches into restaurants and bars

In the two weeks since New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin went from benchwarmer to global superstar, a wave of "Lin-spired" food and drinks has flooded New York City menus.

Bars around Madison Square Garden, where the Knicks play, are honoring the Taiwanese-American player with items like Lin-burgers and "Lings" - Asian-spiced chicken wings. Several bars have concocted "Lintinis," while the Shake Shack chain is offering a "Jeremy Lin-Mint," a chocolate and mint cookie milkshake. And BaoHaus, a restaurant near Union Square serving the Taiwanese dumplings known as bao, began selling one stuffed with a curry-spiked pork chop, pickled radish and carrots, and cilantro, a typical Taiwanese preparation.
