You should probably refer to it as just the "Wings Cart". I asked the cart guy if he ever has any other type of chicken or just wings and he said "just wings". I had the wings over salad (instead of alongside fries), which solved the melted styrofoam problem (and I don't mind a little wilted lettuce). That said, for $6 for 6 wing pieces, there are plenty of other places I'd go for wings, and a cart isn't one of them (I'd go back if it were legs/thighs...) Okay, just got back from this cart.

It happens when you order anything fried and they use cheapass styrofoam...at chinese take out and seafood/fish fry places. Yea, that’s nothing new with the burnt up styrofoam – which is toxic?

Also they have knishes, which I never really want to eat a hot dog without. I haven't tried their chili yet. Please report back. That grilled hot dog cart is fantastic.

Meh--a little styrofoam never hurt anyone. Also, it's been strictly wings from there for at least a few months. I guess to save on frying time.
