We got breakfast at one cart and the guy was a great cook and general handler of all things cart-related. He deftly cooked eggs to order, sausage, bacon, bagels with whatever, coffee, etc. He had regulars come up while we waited for our food and without a word he knew exactly what they were having and began preparing it before they even got there. It was quite a show - a one-man show. And the food was delicious.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03068853853820975087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341308729189935273.post-13169614157692343872009-11-03T20:06:17.740-05:002009-11-03T20:06:17.740-05:00Street meat/Fungal feet = SAME?
