Ranch sauce? Is that what you’re calling the halal white sauce to give it an identity? lol.

Yea, I think I can def. do Greek more often too.

Mmmmm. Carnegie John’s is my new favorite cart. I have to put carts with tsatsiki ahead of carts with ranch sauce. That plus the fact that he has ribeye steak, and it’s good and fresh…

I think I need a carnegie john’s steak and sausage combo soon.

I think they have their on-and-off days. Sometimes there’s a line, sometimes you can be served in a second. As most of us know, the lines make people confident that the food is worth purchasing. LOL.

Anybody know if their pitas are still $3 during lunchtime? If so, that would be awesome!

I ended up hitting Carnegie John’s today and getting the chicken/gyro platter. I definitely didn’t feel sick of eating that. I need to toss Greek back into the mix. Haha. Tzatziki!

i hated the impostor’s food. had it twice. the first time, i was tricked. I asked him “hey you’re open at this time? and he said “yes and with the same food.” when he broke out the rectangular container and kept asking me if i wanted hot sauce, i knew i’d been had. Ate it and barely finished.

2nd time, my girlfriend brought some for me once as a surprise. she didn’t know it wasn’t genuine but i ate it anyway. sigh

There was a third incident. my brother wanted to meet up with me and my cousin for some halal. i was running late and he was impatient so he bought the food (it had a long line). I told him it wasn’t the real one and he felt cheated. we went ahead and bought the real deal but i was moody and everyone was full already from the fake stuff so .. yea.

Monique, you’re breaking what should be the first rule of eating streetmeat; only oblige carts which have lines / avoid carts which don’t have a line…

The pic caption is wrong but contents are correct. Hehe. The real deal, my fav chicken/lamb w. rice cart, is on the SE corner near the CBS building. The imposters are SW corner, right next to the Hilton and same location as the Famous night cart.

wait a sec, your caption says: “SE Corner/Imposter, SW Corner/Real Deal (On Right)”

is it not the other way around, as stated in the post?
