Post Palooza Popularity
It sounds like last week’s Street Meat Palooza 2 caused a few problems for some of the vendors that scored well. Kwik Meal, the winner, reported larger than normal lines, while on twitter there were complaints of a 20+ minute line at Shendy’s (the second place cart) that was not moving. And this one probably has nothing to do with SMP 2, but another lunch’er complained they got a counterfeit $10 bill from the Steak Truck (the waffle fry plate of street meat that surprised everyone by taking 4th place.) On Wednesday I waited on line at the Famous Halal Guys cart (SE corner of 53rd & 6th) for 15 minutes, but that’s pretty much been the standard wait for at least a month now.

I’ve been reading ML since last year’s SMP and was hooked to site instantly. I love street food so SMP was right up my alley. I waited a few days this year to venture out to carts. I don’t like waiting on long lines due to 1/2 lunch break. I finally tried Steak Truck today and I really liked the combo. Not as salty as most. Waffle fries was a nice bonus. I asked for extra hot sauce and the taste was a beautiful thing. It’s very close to my office and at 1pm there was 1 person in ahead of me. XPL is usually my to go place but I think I found a new favorite. Next stop will be the beef liver sandwich. Can’t wait.
