Please define "Sick"?
I've never thrown up, however I have had the shits. Eh, it happens.

The first time I had the famous 53rd and 6th guys I had the "hot" shits after asking them to douse the stuff in their hot sauce. Whatever doesn't kill me, only makes my stomach stronger!

Several times---I am a glutton for punishment. Though my street meat cart is 28th and madison, out of the midtown lunch range....I once bought a ton of streetmeats and gave them away when I was blackout drunk----it was my 2nd night in my new place in the City...My night doorman loved it!

I also got a horrible case of stomach cramps and some mean shits from the 53rd st famous halal cart. I did not use much hot sauce. I feel this was a one-off thing and it wont dissuade me from going back there again. but the pain... I had to bite down on my toothbrush.

If you haven't ever had stomach issues from eating at a cart, then you don't eat at carts nearly enough...

As usual, Zach says it best...perhaps that is why he leads and we follow.

I know I'm jinxing myself but I have never gotten sick but I dont mess with Halal so that might be what saves me. I did however get sick both times I ate at chiptole.

I always go back, even after the Shits..... There is a Simpsons Episode where he gets an 8 foot sub that keeps getting older and more decrepit. "Another foot, Marge, and I can fit it in the Fridge". Anyway, the Hoagie makes Homer very sick and he yells at it. Then he apologizes: "I could never be mad at you sandwich". Well, i can never be mad at you cart dudes.

Yeah I had to run to the toilet about 30 minutes after eating at Shendy's last week. I'd like to blame it on the extra hot sauce.
Back when I worked at Lincoln Center, I used to get sick every time I ate out on 9th Ave. I thought it was the water.
Didn't bother me too much. I just thought of it as my weekly colonic.

I've gotten diarrhea and stomachaches from street meats. Never anything fatal though. I also experienced the steamy, hot deuce drops from too much hot sauce.
During the winter, I've used the 53rd/6th plate with extra splashes of hot sauce to fight the cold/ flu/ sore throat.

The day I got my flu shot, I hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch. I went to 53rd and 6th and had the usual l&c over salad, extra extra hotsauce. I always get this. My coworker went with me. I got sick, he didn't. I'm not sure if it was the flushot or the cart. Considering my coworker didn't get sick, I think it was the flushot.
That said, the worst illness I ever got from eating out was after having a cuban sandwich at The Coffee Shop in Union Square. I was sick for 2 days.

I used to get an upset stomach, but you build strength after a while. It's like a workout. I feel like I've been training for SMAP2 and successfully finished all meals.

I never gotten food poisoning from a cart. I have gotten the dreaded red eye from too much hot sauce but thats my fault.
