My fear of hep c and
all manner of rodent feces kept me off the street meat bandwagon for
years. Granted, I probably have just as much rodent dander in my kitchen
at home as your average cart, but appearance is sometimes 99% of the
game. I was also of the mind that this genre of food consisted of
green Sabretts floating in pink-ish skin water, Nutz 4 NUTS and the
seasonal roasted chestnut dude. I had no idea that Eastern delights
lay at my very doorstep. And this, having been my first real street
meat experience, was an excellent place to start. I saw that chicken
and rice photo on the side of the cart and I instantly knew this was
going to be a new love affair. And then the guy threw on grilled veggies
and a white yougurty sauce that just captured that grill taste and
threw a whole load of yum into my mouth. I gladly handed the dude
(I wish I had the chutzpah to ask peoples' names) my six bucks--and
have several times since--and greedily stole back to my desk to inhale
what has to be one of the tastiest lunches--convertible or not--that
I’ve had in recent years. It seriously beats the shit out of
a dry turkey sandwich. I seriously dream about that yogurt sauce.
So don’t fear the outdoor meat, don’t fear it one bit.
