XPL Seeing a Post Palooza Bump?
I don’t remember seeing lines like this at the XPL truck (on Park Ave. & 48th St.) before they surprisingly took 2nd place at Street Meat Palooza. It just goes to show, all carts are not created equal. (You may say the secret ingredient is the rice.)
Thanks to Blondie and Brownie for passing along the photo.

There’s been lines in the past. BTW, their price jumped up a $1 – hope that’s not a result of the palooza.

There is another XPL truck at 43rd/2nd.

What makes the rice really good?

its jasmine rice with some sort of maaahvelous indian spice

fyi…there is XPL also in Financial District- its on Greenwich St across the big postal building (and 1 block from Chase in Park Pl!). looks just almost like the photo above, as its also under scaffolds. rice is perfectly spiced- even with a little red sauce, the rice still stood out..soo good. combo meat platter tender and juicy, i will go back again
Don’t give away my new pick-up spot! Added bonus: they all seem to be from Chase (XPL is located in the heart of the Chase trifecta) aka the only bank that’s not going belly up.
