Do you eat at the street?

I don't know how do you call the people that sells food on the street. Anyway you know what I mean. Do you eat there?

I don't, but what about you?

Like a hot dog vendor?

We dont have any in Dallas. I have eaten raspas (snow cones) from a vendor in Alamo Plaza.

It's not as common here as it is in other countries. New York, though, has a lot of street food vendors. When I'm there, I do eat their food.

Believe it or not I have never eaten from a street vendor. Although I do hear that the ones in NY are the best ... is that right TJ? If so, will you take me next time you go, cause I have never been to NY and would love to go.

We have lots of street festivals here during the Summer and there are plenty of food vendors that set up at those, and I definitely get something there when I'm hungry....after all, its that the purpose of the street festival in the first place.
Once in Mexico I got the best margarita of my life from a street vendor, he made each one individually and even squeezed the limes into each glass

Yeah, the food is damn good from those NY street vendors. I hope no one from NY takes offense, but if I never go back there, it will be too soon. Since I'm not with the government anymore, I haven't had to travel there. As we used to always say "Ain't never lost nothing there, so no reason to go back"....

I ate in Ny, hot dogs, souvlaky, Kebabs. Also Chorizos ( choripan) here in Argentina, but right now I think I wouldn't do that anymore.

i eat off the eggroll cart at UT and the pizza or taco carts off 6th street. i also love those Snappy Snack taco trucks tha tpull up to construction sites. My favorite thing is to eat tacos off the carts in mexico or the hotdogs wrapped in bacon

spursfeva_31 · #11 03-30-06, 01:19 PM

like those mexicans with the taquitos lined up all on Old HWY 90? Hell yeah!

Blake · #12 03-30-06, 01:22 PM

Ive drinken the margs off of the cart guy in Mexico too......they load those things up thick with tequila. good stuff.

My wife likes to get the cinnamon churros of the cart guy down there. Usually it's windy and dusty and their deep fryer is wide open with no screens of any kind to block stuff from dropping in, so I go ahead and pass on it.

When I was in New York City, I was in paradise. FOOD ON EVERY CORNER.

yea, they even have chineese stands!

craziness.

Chief · #15 03-30-06, 02:41 PM

you don't find much of that here.

you've got your roasted corn and raspa stands. But yeah seems it would be a convenient idea, but only in locations where there's walking traffic. No wonder it does so well in NY
