Push Cart

I’m I the only one who gets excited when that usually palsy street cart salad, is served with REAL lettuce?! Romaine lettuce, oh my! Fresh red peppers?! Oh and it’s not just white sauce on everything, you actually have a choice of salad dressing? I’ve never been so excited to say «french dressing, please» as I was today.
I walk past this cart every morning and never paid it any mind. It looks like a regular street cart peddling stale carbohydrates, tea and coffee for breakfast. Then today the sweet smell of chicken was wefting through the office and I went a looking for who had found good food. As I happened upon my co-​worker with what I quickly identified as street meat, I paused because I could actually identify the meat as fresh chicken breast. And there were real vegetables and salad that amounted to more than just water. What are you eating?! He laughed at me and said chicken. «I know, but it looks like street meat that’s fresh.» He laughed again, my boss than chimed in and told me yeah its a cart that’s right outside.
Oh how magnificent! And they give me a reason to type out «five dolla holla!»
Now let me add «five dolla holla honey boo boo child» (cc:Toddlers & Tiaras) because your meal comes with a free beverage + they even have menus and you can call in your order ahead of time. I don’t think there’s anything over $ 5 on the menu that has items like, caesar salad, sicilian quezadillas (sic), chicken b.l.t. wrap and chipotle cheese steak sandwich. They are far too kind.
